To replace a skylight, follow these sequential steps:
1. Remove Existing Components: Start by carefully removing the existing skylight, surrounding shingles, flashings, and underlayment to prepare the area for repair.
2. Install New Curb: Next, install a new curb as necessary and securely fasten it to the roof structure to provide a stable base for the skylight.
3. Apply Waterproofing Membrane: Apply a high-grade ice and water membrane over the entire curb and surrounding roof area to ensure effective waterproofing and prevent leaks.
4. Install Flashings and Shingles: Install a new bottom pan, side step flashings, and top pan around the curb, ensuring proper alignment and sealing. Concurrently, install new shingles to restore the roof's integrity.
5. Interior Finishing: Finish the interior of the curb with a white finish and seal all gaps at the top of the tunnel using appropriate sealant or spray foam insulation to prevent air and water infiltration.
6. Secure Skylight: Carefully secure the existing skylight onto the finished curb, ensuring a tight seal and proper alignment to prevent future leaks.
7. Cleanup: Finally, thoroughly clean up all debris and waste materials from the repair site to leave the area tidy and safe.
- The entire replacement process typically takes around 2-4 hours to complete, depending on the complexity of the job and any additional replacements needed.
- It's important to note that while the process for skylight repair is similar, it involves installing the existing skylight unit instead of a new one.
