Skylight Replacement
Cost Guide
Find out what goes into skylight replacement costs in Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley, from same-size deck/curb replacements to venting upgrades and roof integration.
COST GUIDE
How Much Does It Cost to Replace a Skylight?
Skylight replacement costs depend on unit size, mounting type (deck vs curb), operator style (fixed, manual, electric, solar), curb condition, and surrounding roof integration. General planning ranges include:
Straightforward Replacement
$1,200 – $2,200
Replacement with Curb / Flashing Work
$2,200 – $3,800
Complex or Venting Upgrade
$3,800 – $6,500+
These are estimated price ranges for planning purposes only. The final cost can only be determined after a professional inspection of your property.
KEY FACTORS
What Affects the Cost?
Skylight Type & Operation
Fixed skylights provide daylight economically, while manual, electric, or solar-powered venting skylights with rain sensors and smart shades represent higher-tier investments.
Deck-Mounted vs Curb-Mounted
Deck-mounted units fasten directly to the prepared roof deck, while curb-mounted units sit atop a raised wooden box curb common on flat roofs and older homes.
Curb Condition & Wood Rot
Installing a new skylight on a rotted or improperly framed curb leads to failure. Rebuilding curbs with treated lumber and proper waterproofing adds carpentry scope.
Surrounding Roof System & Flashing
Shingle roofs require careful unweaving and restoration around flashing kits. Flat roofs (SBS torch-on, EPDM) require complete membrane welding and termination.
Interior Shaft & Resizing Work
If an exact replacement size is unavailable or homeowners enlarge the unit, reframing, drywalling, mudding, and finishing the interior light shaft adds project cost.
