What to expect

Treat the skylight as part of the roof

Skylights interrupt the main water-shedding surface of a roof, so installation details matter. The unit, curb or deck mount, flashing system, underlayment, roof pitch, and surrounding shingles need to work together.

We evaluate skylights as part of the surrounding roof assembly. This is especially important during roof replacement, when aging units and flashing can be addressed before the new roofing system is completed.

Common questions

Answers before you call

Should skylights be replaced when the roof is replaced?+

It is a good time to evaluate them. An older skylight may not have the same remaining life as the new roof, and replacement is typically easier while the surrounding roofing is already being removed.

Why do skylights leak?+

Possible causes include aging seals, damaged flashing, installation details, condensation, or a problem in the surrounding roof. An inspection helps identify the likely source.

Can a skylight be added to an existing roof?+

Often, yes. Feasibility depends on roof structure, pitch, interior layout, product requirements, and the desired location.
