Expressway Specializes In Seamless Skylight Replacements

Clients should take into consideration maintaining the roof, flashing and shingles to avoid having skylight leaks that could be pretty damaging to your skylight and residence. The most common need for a new skylight replacement is from leaks when water makes its way under the gaps of the skylight itself, into the surrounding skylight product and eventually into the dwelling itself. Another reason you may need a new skylight replacement is flawed craftsmanship of what you have there now. As a projecting roof feature, they are more apt to problems like cracks or leaking than other sections of a structure’s roof. That’s not to say a skylight is more burdensome than they’re worth, but the harsh climate South Fork, New York weather can invite breakage. Sometimes the leak is more obvious.

Designs of Skylights We Install

We will test 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 inspect the skylight’s flashing – which is the metal component installed specifically to prevent projecting roof elements from developing leaks around their sides.

We’ll test the skylight’s insulation – because without enough insulation – or no insulation at all – warm air can flow up readily from inside the house and cause condensation. When insulation touches the glass, condensation often results, which brings you right back to the problem from above. In some cases, rain may also infiltrate poorly insulated spaces, infiltrating more insulation as it leaks through. Luckily, this is an easy address that may take only a few minutes.

Cracked glass may be the reason your skylight is leaking (like if you have recently had a hailstorm). Minor damage may 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.
