A dark room can make a whole house feel smaller, and a leaking skylight can make you wish you'd never put one in. Maybe you've sealed around yours more than once and still see drips. Standalone skylight installation and repair are available in Lincolnton, NC, with careful attention to roof integration, flashing and keeping water out.
When You Need Skylight Installation and Repair
Consider a new skylight when a room, hallway or bathroom needs more natural light. Call for skylight repair when you see water stains around the frame, drips during heavy rain, fogging between the panes, cracked glass or a frame that has warped. Most skylight leaks come from worn flashing or old sealant, not the glass itself. Caulk alone rarely fixes it for long. Heat, sun and heavy rain here are hard on the seals around a skylight. A slow leak can rot the roof boards and the framing around the opening before you ever see a stain, so it pays to act on the first sign. Older skylights with plastic domes also turn cloudy and brittle with age.
Our Skylight Installation and Repair Process
For a new skylight, we check the framing, cut and frame the opening, install the unit and flash it into the roof so water runs around it. For repairs, we find where water gets in, then replace worn flashing, reseal the unit or replace the skylight if it has failed. We also repair any rotted wood around the opening.
We begin with a free estimate and a clear written contract: scope, price and warranty coverage, all in writing before work begins. We review the expected timing with you up front, because it changes with the size of the job. Required permits and inspections on contracted work are ours to manage. Questions during the job go straight to the people doing the work.
Skylight Installation and Repair Cost in Lincolnton
Skylight cost depends on the size and type of the unit, the roof material and slope, and whether the ceiling needs a light shaft built through the attic. Repairs depend on whether the flashing, the unit or the framing around it is the problem.
We don't quote blind, and we don't charge for the estimate. You see the price in your written contract before work begins. Larger jobs use a deposit and progress payments, and we accept debit and credit cards. Hidden damage, found once things are opened up, is the most common reason a scope grows.
