Skylight Installation In Woodstock, VT
Watertight Skylights Flashed By Roofers, Not Handymen
A skylight adds daylight to a dark room. A bad install turns into a slow leak you won’t notice until the ceiling stains. Any skylight installation company can cut a hole in your roof. Not all of them can keep it dry.
Choosing skylights in Woodstock, VT means picking the right unit. More importantly, it means trusting the crew who cuts your roof open and seals it back up. That flashing detail is where most skylights fail.
Jancewicz & Son treats a skylight as a roofing job first. We match the skylight to your roof pitch, room, and light needs, then work the flashing into the surrounding roof so water sheds around it. If a fixed unit fits better than a vented one, we’ll tell you. That’s the same honest approach we’ve used for 90+ years.
How Jancewicz & Son Handles Skylight Installation
We plan every skylight around your roof, your ceiling, and the room below before anyone cuts a hole. Here’s how the work goes.
Roof And Room Assessment
We start by checking your roof pitch, framing, and the room that needs light. This tells us where a skylight will actually brighten the space and drain water correctly. We look at rafter spacing, so we place the unit without weakening the structure. Getting this right up front prevents an off-center skylight or one that fights the roof’s water flow.
Choosing The Right Unit
We match you to the correct product: a VELUX skylight, a SUN TUNNEL skylight, or a roof window. A tight attic with a narrow chase often calls for a SUN TUNNEL instead of a full skylight. We explain the trade-offs in plain terms so you pick what fits your home, not the biggest sale. The right unit prevents wasted money and disappointing light.
Flashing And Weather Sealing
We install the manufacturer’s flashing kit and weave it into the surrounding roofing so water sheds around the skylight. This is the step that separates a dry skylight from a leaky one. Because we’re roofers first, the skylight and roof become one sealed system. Proper flashing protects your ceiling, insulation, and framing from hidden water damage.
Interior Finish And Cleanup
We finish the ceiling opening and the light shaft so the inside looks clean and intentional. Then we haul off the debris and leave the room ready to use. A rushed interior finish is what makes a good skylight look like an afterthought. We treat the drywall and trim as part of the job, not an extra.
Why Choose Jancewicz & Son For Skylight Installation
We’re a full exterior remodeling company, not just a roofing contractor, and skylights sit right where roofing and daylight meet.
Here’s what that means for the local skylight installer you end up hiring.
- The right solution, even when it’s a smaller job. After we inspect your roof and existing skylight, we’ll recommend the right solution even if it’s a repair or a simple SUN TUNNEL over a full skylight. That’s what your home may genuinely need, even if it’s a smaller sale.
- Installed by roofers who own the flashing. Skylight leaks come from bad flashing, so we integrate every unit into the surrounding roof as one sealed system. Our crews are trained on current techniques and how New England snow and ice test roof penetration.
- Background-checked, year-round staff. Every employee who works on your home is background-checked, and we run year-round rather than seasonal. That means the people cutting into your roof are trained staff, not temporary labor pulled in for the busy months.
- Quality-first products with strong warranties. We install VELUX skylights, SUN TUNNEL skylights, and roof windows because they hold up in this climate and carry solid warranties. We won’t push a cheap unit that fails early and costs you more later.
- A+ rated and nationally recognized. We’re A+ rated and have ranked on Qualified Remodeler Magazine’s Top 200 Exterior Remodeling Contractors list every year since it began. That record follows us onto every skylight job in Windsor County, VT.

“We hired Jancewicz & Son for a large exterior job including a chimney demo, new roofing, and some new trim and siding. Hunter was wonderful to work with while nailing down the details of the estimate and documenting everything in a detailed contract with photos. Once onsite, Mike and his crew were sure to regularly check in with me when they came across unexpected problems. Throughout the process, they were detailed and thorough, keeping me in the loop along the way and making sure the work was done right. You pay for quality, folks!

I can highly recommend Jancewicz & Son.” Robert W.
Skylight Installation FAQs For Windsor County
Straight answers to the questions we hear most about skylights.
Q: How much does skylight installation cost in Woodstock, VT?
A: Skylight installation cost depends on a few real factors, so we quote each project after seeing it. The unit type matters: a SUN TUNNEL, a fixed skylight, and a vented roof window all price differently. We give a free quote with the drivers spelled out, no guessing.
Q: What skylight brands do you install?
A: We install VELUX skylights, SUN TUNNEL skylights, and roof windows. We stay with proven products that hold up to New England weather and carry strong warranties. We’ll walk you through which one fits your roof and the room you want to brighten.
Q: How long does a skylight installation take?
A: Many standard skylight installs finish in a day or two. The timeline depends on the number of units, roof access, and how much interior shaft and ceiling finishing the room needs. Replacing an existing skylight is often faster than cutting a new opening. We give you a clear schedule with your quote.
Q: Will a skylight leak?
A: A properly flashed skylight should not leak, and flashing is exactly what we specialize in. Most skylight leaks trace back to poor flashing installed by someone who isn’t a roofer. We work the manufacturer’s flashing kit into the surrounding roofing so water sheds around the unit. That’s the whole difference.
Q: Should I repair or replace my old skylight?
A: It depends on the unit’s condition and the roof around it, and we’ll tell you honestly after an inspection. A leaking or fogged-up skylight is often better replaced than patched, since old seals keep failing. But if a simple fix will hold, we’ll say so. We won’t sell you a replacement you don’t need.
Q: Do you serve areas beyond Woodstock?
A: Yes. We install skylights throughout Windsor County, VT and across nearby towns in Vermont, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts. We’re a year-round company, so we’re staffed and available outside the peak season too.
Q: Do you offer financing for skylight projects?
A: Yes, we offer financing for home improvement projects, and your credit doesn’t need to be perfect to qualify. The application is quick, and approval is typically fast. Financing is subject to credit approval, and minimum monthly payments are required. Just tell us you’d like a payment plan, and we’ll walk you through it.
