I need to replace 2 skylights. Yes...drip, drip.
These were in the house when I bought it.

Any suggestions on where to buy them (Mid-Suffolk)? Installer too?
Besides Lowes, Home Depot.

I will try Windowrama.

get rid of the wholes in your roof. it seems quite a few (all?) skylights leak at some point of there lives. you can install periscope natrual lighting if you really need the natural light. by the way the windowrama factory in commack, near railroad avenue supplies all the local window/door stores (home depot,loews ect.) deal direct no ordering or waiting just pay and pick up. they handle pella also.

After a little research, Anderson does not make skylights anymore. Neither does Pella.
Velux seems to be the skylight of choice nowadays

Most likely because they all eventually leak! Velux seems to be the only quality skylight left.
