Skylight Replacement

What This Service Involves

Skylights installed decades ago often reach the end of their sealed-glass and gasket life, showing cloudy panes, interior condensation, or hairline leaks. We remove the worn unit and install a modern, energy-efficient replacement sized to the existing opening whenever possible. Updated deck-mounted models with factory flashing kits perform far better against Seattle-area moisture than the acrylic domes common on 1980s homes. The old sealant, corroded fasteners, and brittle flashing are all replaced so the new curb starts fresh.

Benefits

Eliminates foggy, seal-failed glazing that blocks light; Newer gaskets and glass cut interior condensation dramatically; Factory flashing kits outperform decades-old field-bent metal; Matches the visual clarity of the rest of your remodel

Our Process

1) Remove the failed unit and inspect the curb and decking beneath; 2) Repair any rotted framing revealed during teardown; 3) Fit the replacement skylight to the opening and mount it; 4) Apply a fresh flashing kit and integrate it with surrounding shingles

What Affects the Cost

Whether the existing opening size is reused or resized; Condition of the curb and decking uncovered on removal; Upgrade from acrylic dome to glass glazing; Accessibility of the roof section; Disposal of the old unit and hardware

Best Time of Year

Plan replacement during a dry summer stretch so the roof is never left open under threat of a Northwest downpour.
