NEW SKYLIGHT REPLACEMENT NEAR MASTIC
Expressway Specializes In Seamless Skylight Replacements
Clients should take into consideration maintaining a roof, flashing and shingles to avoid having skylight issues that can be severely harmful to your skylight and house. During the colder months, water typically freezes and expands in unmaintained skylights – which causes damage. This cycle can cause gaps to grow – and after a few seasons of continuous expansion and contraction, the owner may recognize that the skylight may start to leak as it allows water to enter. Another reason you may need a new skylight replacement is imperfect replacement of what you have there now. As a projecting roof feature, they are more susceptible to problems like cracks or leaking than other sections of a residence’s roof. That’s not to say a skylight is more burdensome than they’re worth, but the bad climate Mastic, New York weather could bring on complications. Sometimes the problem is more persistent. A skylight may truly add prime ambiance to a room. Replacement is not always the solution – especially if any danger is small and localized.
The window that makes up the skylight must be fitted correctly to the opening made for it. If the skylight fitting is not connected correctly, you may experience leaks immediately. High humidity will also lead to the development of condensation that drips down the glass of your residence’s skylight. In the event your skylight is leaking when there’s not a cloud in the sky, indoor humidity is the most likely issue. Still, it’s a good solution to get your skylight tested by a highly-skilled skylight tech.

Installing A Brand New Skylight
Our pros can 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. 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 maintain the skylight’s insulation – because without enough insulation – or no insulation at all – warm air can flow up harmlessly from inside the dwelling and cause condensation. When insulation touches the glass, condensation recurrently results, which brings you right back to the problem from above. In some cases, rain can also infiltrate poorly insulated spaces, destroying more insulation as it leaks through. If your skylight is leaking, the weather seals may have aged and peeled thanks to exposure to the intense Long Island sun.
