Who should I get to repair or replace my skylight?

A message for our future clients:

When it comes time to repair or replace your skylight it isn't as simple as calling your roofer and having the job done. Almost 90% of the skylights we repair or replace are due to poor installation by roofers, contractors, and other so called skylight pros. Here are a few things to consider when getting your skylight repaired or replaced.

- Does your installer have Insurance? Make sure you ask your installer and even get a copy. If they are an upstanding company they will have no problem doing this for you.

- Does your installer do the work themselves or do they subcontract it out?

- Will your installer be using a high grade ice and water membrane? (This is one of the most important materials used to having a leak free skylight. Too many companies cut costs at this point.)

- Will the exterior aluminum flashing kit be manufactured or done on site? Get the manufactured skylight kit. This way your installer won't need caulking that breaks down in a year or two.

- Will your installer be using spray foam insulation and sealant so there are no air leaks on the interior? (Without sealing the top edge of the drywall I can guarantee excess condensation in the winter months.)

I always say to my clients. "You don't get your bricklayer to install your windows, so why call a roofer to install your skylights."
