Skylight Replacement

Benefits of Replacing VS Reflashing

At the start of a reroofing job with skylights, you have a choice: reflash the skylights or replace them altogether. While reflashing the skylights may seem like the quicker fix, there are three major benefits to replacing them with new skylights instead.

Save Time and Money: The most opportune time to replace a skylight is when you're already up on the roof.
Reduce Your Liability: If you don’t replace a skylight, it can sustain frame damage during the reroofing process. Lower the risk of leaks – and callbacks – by replacing any skylights while you’re on the roof for the first time.
Coincide Warranties: Homeowners get better overall protection when their roof warranty and skylight warranty are both in sync.
