Skylight Services in San Antonio
BH Roofing installs new skylights, replaces aging or damaged skylights, and repairs leaks around existing units. Because a skylight is part of the roof system, the skylight, flashing, underlayment, and surrounding roofing all need to work together.
Skylight Installation & Repair
A skylight should bring natural light into your home without becoming a weak point in the roof. BH Roofing works on the skylight and the surrounding roof assembly so installation, flashing, underlayment, and roofing transitions are considered together.
Add natural light to a room with a new skylight installed through an existing roof or coordinated with a roof replacement, addition, or remodeling project.
Replace an old, fogged, damaged, or unreliable skylight while addressing the flashing and roofing around the opening instead of treating the window as a separate component.
A leak near a skylight does not automatically mean the skylight itself has failed. The problem may involve flashing, nearby shingles, underlayment, seal details, or the unit.
Skylight Leak Repair
Water showing up around a skylight can come from several places. Replacing sealant alone is not always a permanent repair. The roof-to-skylight transition needs to be inspected before deciding what failed.
Repair or Replace?
The skylight itself is still in usable condition and the problem is isolated to the roof or flashing around it.
An aging or damaged unit has recurring problems or the skylight is already being exposed during a larger roof replacement.
New Skylight Installation
A new skylight installation requires more than cutting a hole and setting a window into it. The location, roof structure, slope, drainage path, flashing, underlayment, interior opening, and surrounding roofing all have to be considered before installation.
Consider the room below, roof framing, roof slope, sun exposure, drainage, and the exterior roof layout.
The opening and surrounding roof need to be prepared so the skylight can be structurally supported and properly waterproofed.
The skylight, flashing, underlayment, and roofing are integrated so water can drain around the opening instead of into it.
Skylights & Roofing
Roof replacement is an important time to evaluate an existing skylight. If the unit is already aging, cloudy, damaged, or has a history of leaks, replacing it while the surrounding roofing is already being removed may make more sense than reinstalling an older unit and disturbing the new roof later.
Why BH Roofing
The strongest reason to use a roofing contractor for skylight work is that the opening, flashing, underlayment, and surrounding roof all have to function together. BH Roofing can evaluate the entire roof-to-skylight transition instead of looking only at the glass or frame.
Skylight Questions
Yes. BH Roofing installs skylights and can coordinate the skylight opening, flashing, underlayment, and surrounding roofing as part of the project.
Yes. Existing skylights can be replaced when the unit is damaged, aging, leaking repeatedly, or being renewed during a larger roofing project.
Sometimes. If the skylight itself is still in usable condition and the leak comes from flashing or surrounding roofing, a targeted repair may be appropriate. The source of the water should be identified first.
Potential causes include flashing problems, damaged surrounding roofing, failed underlayment, aging skylight components, or water entering elsewhere and traveling toward the opening. Interior condensation can also sometimes be mistaken for a roof leak.
If the skylight is already aging or has a history of problems, roof replacement can be a practical time to consider replacing it because the surrounding roofing and flashing are already being removed and rebuilt.
In many homes, yes. The roof structure, slope, drainage, interior location, and framing need to be evaluated before an opening is created.
No. Water can enter through surrounding roofing, flashing, underlayment, or another nearby roof detail and then appear around the skylight opening.
