Skylights
Skylights Done by Roofers
A skylight is a hole in your roof, so how it's flashed matters more than anything. Most skylight leaks come from flashing that wasn't installed or tied into the shingles correctly.
We handle new skylights and replacements for aging ones, with the flashing tied into your underlayment and shingles.
Replacing your roof? That's the best time to replace an older skylight, since the flashing is being redone anyway. If you only have a leak, see roof repair.
Signs it's time
6 Signs Your Skylight Needs Attention
Skylights often wear out before the roof around them.
Fogging between panes
A failed seal lets moisture in between the glass.
Cracked glass or dome
Damage from storms, branches or age.
Heavy condensation
Constant condensation can point to seal or ventilation problems.
Older skylight, new roof
An older skylight may not outlast a new roof.
Want more light
A dark hallway, bathroom or kitchen that could use daylight.

Rhode Island weather
Skylights and Rhode Island Weather
Snow, ice and wind-driven rain test every skylight.
Coastal wind
Wind off Narragansett Bay and the South County shore can lift and peel shingles loose.
Nor'easters
Wind-driven rain looks for any gap, especially at flashing around chimneys, walls and vents.
Snow & ice dams
Snow that melts on a warm roof and refreezes at the cold eaves can back water up under the shingles.
Salt air
Near the coast, salt spray is hard on exposed metal like flashing and fasteners.

Request a free quoteDo skylights always leak eventually?
No. Most skylight leaks come from flashing problems or aging seals. A correctly flashed skylight is designed to stay dry.
Should I replace my skylight when I replace my roof?
If your skylight is older, it's usually smart. The flashing is being redone anyway, and you avoid tearing into the new roof later.
Can you fix my leaking skylight instead of replacing it?
Often, yes, if the unit itself is in good shape and the problem is the flashing. If the seals have failed, replacement may make more sense.
Do I need a permit for a skylight?
Some Rhode Island towns require a permit for adding a new skylight, especially when framing is cut, and the rules vary by town. Ask us about your address when you request a quote.
How much does a skylight cost?
It depends on the size and type of skylight, whether it's new or a replacement, and the interior finish work. Request a free quote and we'll follow up.
