Skylight Flashing Replacement

What This Service Involves

Flashing is the layered metal that ties a skylight into the surrounding roof, and it fails long before the glazing does in our wet climate. We remove corroded, lifted, or improperly bent flashing and install a proper step, head, and sill kit matched to your roofing type. Correct integration with the shingle courses and underlayment is what keeps wind-driven rain from working underneath. This service is common on homes where a prior installer relied on caulk instead of layered metal to seal the corners.

Benefits

Replaces caulk-dependent seals with durable layered metal; Directs wind-driven rain away from the curb corners; Matched kits suit shingle, metal, or membrane roofs; Corrects the leading cause of skylight leaks at the source

Our Process

1) Lift the shingles or membrane surrounding the skylight; 2) Strip out the old failed or misinstalled flashing; 3) Install new step, head, and sill flashing in sequence; 4) Reintegrate roofing courses and seal the terminations

What Affects the Cost

Roofing material the flashing must integrate with; Size and shape of the skylight curb; Whether the curb itself needs repair; Corrosion or rot found beneath the old metal; Access difficulty on steeper pitches

Best Time of Year

Dry summer and early-autumn days are ideal so the reintegrated shingle courses can seal down before heavy rain arrives.
