In this video we show you how to replace a skylight on a shingle roof with a new, deck-mounted, Velux brand skylight. Every skylight install and replacement won't be the same, but with a little tweaking to flashing or ice and water shield, you should be able to apply our techniques to allow for a full replacement with your own two hands!
