Replacement for Teravista 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.
Teravista: Teravista, TX sits in Central Texas hail alley along with the rest of Williamson County, a real consideration for a community built almost entirely since 2001.
Local angle
Why is replacement different in North Metro / Williamson County Suburbs?
Georgetown's Sun City, an age-restricted 55+ community with predominantly single-story ranch stock, is a strong replacement market as original units age out under a high-HOA-review environment. Hutto and Liberty Hill's overwhelmingly new construction means replacement demand stays low here for now.
What's included in replacement in Teravista?
Old unit removal and curb, deck, and framing inspection
Curb reuse when structurally sound, or full curb rebuild when it is not
New flashing kit installed regardless of whether the curb is reused
Sizing check against the current opening, since skylight standard sizes changed over decades
Upgraded low-e, impact-rated, or laminated glazing options
Insurance-claim documentation for hail or storm-damaged units
Interior light well and trim repair where old units leaked into drywall
Haul-away and disposal of the old skylight

How do I know if I need replacement instead of repair?
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.
Can I use the same opening and curb for the new skylight?
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.
