Replacement for Point Venture homes, done by vetted Austin-area crews. Skylight replacement is a different job from a first-time install: the opening already exists, and the question is whether the existing curb and flashing can be reused or whether the whole assembly needs to come out. Most original-equipment skylights in Central Austin's 1950s-70s housing stock are past their service life, and a hailstorm can crack a dome or shatter an insulated glass unit overnight.
Dripping Springs' 1980s-90s acreage custom homes are prime original-skylight replacement candidates, this is one of the strongest retrofit-copy markets in the whole metro. Driftwood and Spicewood's metal and tile roofs mean replacement crews plan for those materials rather than defaulting to shingle flashing.
Homeowners search for this a few different ways. In Point Venture it also goes by replace a skylight cost in Point Venture, old skylight replacement in Point Venture, and skylight upgrade in Point Venture. They all reach the same insured local crews, and the operator who answers will sort out which one your job actually is.

Standard replacement on a reusable curb runs $600-$1,800; full curb rebuild with new framing runs $1,500-$3,500. That's the same approach across Austin Metro (Travis, Williamson & Hays counties), and the contractor confirms the number for Point Venture before any work starts.
Point Venture is a small incorporated city on Lake Travis, and the same IECC Climate Zone 2 heat and Hill Country sun exposure apply here as elsewhere in the region. Dripping Springs' 1980s-90s acreage custom homes are prime original-skylight replacement candidates, this is one of the strongest retrofit-copy markets in the whole metro.
If the glazing is cracked, fogged from a failed seal, or the frame itself is warped or rotted, replacement is the right call. If the skylight is otherwise sound and the problem is a leak at the flashing, repair usually solves it for less. The crew you're matched with inspects both the unit and the curb before recommending either path.
Often, yes, if the curb and deck framing are still sound and the new unit's dimensions are close to the old one. Skylight standard sizes have shifted over the decades, so an exact match isn't guaranteed. When the curb has rotted or the new unit needs a different footprint, the crew rebuilds the opening rather than forcing a mismatched fit.
