Skylight replacement and flashing in Worcester County and MetroWest.
A skylight is a hole in the roof. Replace it, reflash it or plan it with a new roof so the opening stays watertight.
Skylights, handled as part of the roof.
Roofing by Gamache replaces skylights and repairs skylight flashing for homeowners in Northborough and across Worcester County and MetroWest. Many skylight leaks come from the flashing around the unit rather than the glass itself. Our team meets you at the house, handles the inspection and estimate, checks the job while work is underway and inspects the finished roof. A free inspection helps sort out which it is.
When to look at a skylight.
A leak or stain near the opening
Water at the ceiling around a skylight can come from the flashing, the unit or the roof above it.
Condensation or fogged glass
Moisture between the panes or heavy condensation can point to a failing unit.
A new roof is planned
Replacing or reflashing a skylight during a roof replacement avoids opening the roof twice.
Should I replace my skylight when I replace my roof?
Often it makes sense to decide then. Ask about the age and condition of the skylight during the roof estimate.
Can you just fix the flashing?
If the unit is sound, a flashing repair may be enough. The inspection decides.
Can you remove a skylight I no longer want?
Ask during the estimate. Closing the opening involves framing, decking and roofing to match the rest of the roof.
