Why We Insist You Replace the Skylight When You Reroof

1. Youโ€™ll Save Time and Money

When itโ€™s time to replace a skylight, your contractor will need to remove the shingles surrounding the window, re-flash around it, and then seal the unit to the roof deck or curb. Since you’re already paying to remove old shingles to lay down new ones, go ahead, save money and replace the skylight while the roof deck is accessible!

2. The VELUX Promise & Warranty

VELUX Skylights are our brand of choice.ย  Why not replace your skylight to sync with the roof warranty? โ€จโ€จVELUX is the only skylight company to implement three layers of protection in their product design, providing you with peace of mind against leaks for at least 10 years.
