Is $5,400 to replace leaking skylight and repair ceiling/wall a fair price?

Project Details

I paid $5400 in 2022 to replace a leaking skylight in my family room. Just 3 years later, I've noticed signs of water damage again. I'm disappointed with how quickly it seems to have failed and am unsure about the warranty or if the original company should fix it.

Quote Details

Work performed for the skylight replacement in 2022: - Cover the carpet in the room where the skylight is located and set up dust collection equipment. - Remove shingles as needed around the skylight. - Remove and dispose of the existing skylight and water damaged sheetrock on the ceiling. - Prep the rough opening to receive the new skylight. - Install a new Velux non-operable skylight with a solar-powered blind. - Install the flashing kit that comes with the new skylight. - Reinstall the original shingles and new shingles if needed. New shingles will match the existing shingle color as best as possible. - Install new drywall where it was removed, apply 3 coats of tape and compound for a paint-ready condition. - Prime any new drywall. - Paint the entire ceiling with the skylight. - Paint the section of wall the that was repaired with a color match paint.
