NEW SKYLIGHT REPLACEMENT NEAR ISLIP

Do You need A New Skylight Installed?

Homeowners should take into consideration maintaining your home’s roof, flashing and shingles to avoid having skylight problems that could be highly harmful to your skylight and residence. During the colder months, water typically freezes and expands in unmaintained skylights – which causes weakening. This damage will cause gaps to grow – and after a few seasons of continuous expansion and contraction, the owner may notice that the skylight could start to leak as it allows water to enter. That’s why it’s paramount that the customer only hire skylight pros to install your skylight. As a projecting roof feature, they are more susceptible to problems like cracks or leaking than other spots of a property’s roof. The likelihood of discovering that your skylight is leaking increases with its age. If you notice your skylight is leaking, it’s important to take quick action. No matter what the time of year, a skylight is a fine and cost-effective way to let essential natural light into your your dwelling. More often than not, skylights may be repaired.

The window that makes up the skylight must be fitted correctly to the opening made for it. Or trouble could occur within a few weeks or months when the flashing begins to fail due to water intrusion. High humidity may also lead to the development of condensation that drips down the glass of your home’s skylight. Damage is more likely if you need to run your structure’s air conditioner frequently to make your home even more comfortable. Still, it’s a good idea to get your skylight checked by a highly-trained skylight tech.

Do I Need My Skylight Replaced?

Our technicians could analyze the skylight flashing, check the skylight’s insulation, replace the weather seals – or replace the skylight itself – if it is beyond repair or the actual culprit. High quality metal flashing needs to be installed around the skylight to keep it from leaking. Unfortunately, even the best flashing is prone to wear out much sooner than other roofing elements.

We’ll inspect the skylight’s insulation – because without enough insulation – or no insulation at all – warm air may flow up readily from inside the structure and cause condensation. When insulation touches the glass, condensation oftentimes results, which brings you right back to the problem from above. We could replace the skylight’s weather seals – which provide a waterproof barrier to further support all the elements that keep your roof leak-free.If your skylight is leaking, the weather seals may have aged and peeled thanks to exposure to the intense Long Island sun.

Cracked glass may be the reason your skylight is leaking (like if you have recently had a hailstorm). Minor damage will grow worse over time and then one direct hit from a larger stone may cause a crack. There are many new skylight options to choose from with modern skylights. There are three main styles of skylights: ventilating (sometimes called “roof windows”), fixed and tubular. Fixed skylights are generally used in low-lit areas like attics and the stairwell. Ventilated skylights serve many objectives. Basically, a ventilated skylight is an addition of a new window onto the roof of your residence.
