Why You Shouldn’t Forget About Your Skylights When Replacing or Repairing Your Roof

It’s important to replace your skylights when replacing your roof. A skylight isn’t just an opening in your roof that allows light to come in; it is also an important component of your roof that protects your home from the elements. 

At Right Way Roofing, we recommend replacing your skylights when you decide to reroof your home because it’s less expensive replacing them at the same time. You wouldn’t want to invest money in a new roof to find out that a leak is coming from an unreplaced or old skylight. In many cases, if your skylights are not properly installed or have worn down from wear and tear, it could cost you double or triple the amount if you replace the skylights after a reroof. Plus, skylights typically have a similar life expectancy as your roof, between 15 to 20 years, so it makes sense to replace them at the same time. 

Right Way Roofing is one of the largest skylight replacers in the state of New Mexico. We specialize in replacing skylights; however, we do not add new skylights to your roof. We highly recommend hiring a professional skylight contractor to cut and build out a new skylight in your roof. It’s important to hire a roofing company like Right Way to work alongside the skylight contractor to ensure that it is not damaging the roof and that the skylight is working properly so no leaks enter your home.

The best thing to do if you have a question regarding your skylights is to call us today for a free inspection to assess your roof and skylights.
