What we do
What does skylight glass replacement involve?
What the work involves, and why it matters for your building.
What it is
Skylight glass replacement is the removal and reinstallation of the glass in a roof skylight, used for cracked, fogged, or leaking units. Because skylights are overhead, code calls for tempered or laminated safety glass. Glasscare assesses access, sources the correct glass, and installs it sealed and weatherproof across northern NJ and NYC.
Why it matters
A skylight is a window in the roof, so it has to do two things at once: insulate like a window and keep water out like a roof. When it fails, it can fog, crack, or leak, and a leak risks real water damage below. Because the glass is overhead, code requires tempered or laminated safety glass, and the install has to be sealed and flashed properly. Glasscare assesses whether the glass, the seal, or the flashing has failed, handles the overhead access, and installs the correct glass weatherproof.

FAQs
Frequently asked questions
What glass is used for skylights?
+
Skylights use tempered or laminated safety glass by code, because the glass is overhead and has to break safely. Insulated units are used where insulation matters. Glasscare installs the correct glass for the skylight.
My skylight is leaking, is that the glass or the seal?
+
It can be either, or the flashing around it. Glasscare assesses whether the glass, the seal, or the flashing has failed and addresses the actual cause, not just the symptom.
Is overhead skylight work safe to access?
+
Glasscare handles the overhead access and installation safely as part of the job, including roof access where needed.
Can you replace a fogged skylight?
+
Yes. A fogged skylight is a failed sealed unit. Glasscare replaces the insulated skylight glass to clear it and restore insulation.
How much does skylight glass replacement cost?
+
Cost is quoted per skylight based on size, glass type, and access. Call (201) 943-1122.
