Fun Facts About Skylights!

Skylights are a great way to bring some natural light into your home! And with the newest skylight technology available, you can grab some great benefits by updating them. There are some things you need to know about their upkeep and how to prolong their longevity:

• Brush/blow them off regularly – debris can accumulate behind the flashing on top, especially on low slope roofs, and cause leaks.

• If you move a skylight for any reason, flashings MUST be replaced. without doing so you will not achieve a watertight installation.

• If you are re-roofing (especially because of hail damage!), we strongly suggest you replace your skylights during this process (Note: skylights 10+ years old are no longer under warranty).
