Skylight Replacement Stony Brook NY 11794

If you want to improve the look of your home by bringing in more natural light, replacing your existing roof skylight may be an option. You may want to consider the various styles and sizes of skylights that are available, as well as the materials they are made from. The type of skylight you choose can have a big impact on your overall skylight replacement cost. This includes things like the size, material, and finish quality of the skylight. Additionally, it also impacts the labor rate and any adjustments that will be required to your roof opening. Choosing the right glazing is another important factor in a new skylight’s cost. There are three main options: acrylic, tempered glass, and double-paned glass. Each has its own benefits, and each can be used in a variety of climates.

Skylight Leaks

One of the most common skylight problems is leaks. These can happen when your skylight’s flashing is corroded, damaged, or improperly installed. This is where a professional can help. You might not even realize that you have a leak because it can be difficult to see where the water is coming from. A professional can easily identify the problem, repair it, and get your roof and skylight back to its original condition. There are many reasons your skylight might be leaking, including the age of the roof and flashing, debris that might be getting in through roof penetrations, improper installation, or degrading from weather. Depending on the cause of the problem, it might be a good idea to replace your skylight entirely.
