The service

Skylight Replacement After a Storm, explained.

A skylight is a window in the roof, and it has more ways to fail than a wall window. Glass cracks, seals fog and leak and the flashing around the frame loosens. After a storm, one or more of these is often damaged.

We check the unit, the curb and the flashing, repair what can be repaired and replace what cannot, installing the new skylight and flashing so the joint is watertight.

Signs you need this

  • A skylight is cracked or shattered
  • Water drips from the frame or glass
  • Fogging between panes of glass
  • Flashing around a skylight is damaged
