NEW SKYLIGHT REPLACEMENT NEAR LEVITTOWN
Do You require A New Skylight Installed?
Property owners should take into consideration maintaining a roof, flashing and shingles to avoid having skylight damage that can be highly damaging to your skylight and house. The most common need for a new skylight replacement is from weakening when water infiltrates its way under the gaps of the skylight itself, into the surrounding skylight flashing and eventually into the residence itself. Another reason you may need a new skylight replacement is erroneous construction of what you have there now. There are more potential drawbacks to a skylight. The likelihood of discovering that your skylight is leaking increases with its use. If you notice your skylight is leaking, it’s imperitive to take timely action. By allowing light to stream in from the sun, a skylight window brings ambiance that no other feature will match. More often than not, skylights may be fixed.
The window that makes up the skylight must be fitted exactly to the opening made for it. Or trouble may occur within a few weeks or months when the flashing begins to fail due to water infiltration. High humidity could also lead to the development of condensation that drips down the glass of your home’s skylight. Luckily, an indoor humidity issue is easy to fix. An anti-fogging product can eliminate the condensation build-up and ensure that moisture may no longer condense. Still, it’s a good move to get your skylight inspected by a certified skylight tech.

How Do Skylights Become Damaged?
Our roofing experts could check 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. We’ll analyze the skylight’s flashing – which is the metal component installed specifically to prevent projecting roof elements from developing leaks around their sides.
We’ll check the skylight’s insulation – because without enough insulation – or no insulation at all – warm air could flow up readily from inside the residence and cause condensation. When insulation touches the glass, condensation recurrently results, which brings you right back to the problem from above. Our roofing experts 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.

Just like their name indicates, fixed skylights are ‘fixed’ and do not open for air ventilation. Basically, they’re totally sealed closed on the roof.
