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. Our skylight installation and repair in Lincolnton, NC pays close attention to how the skylight fits into the roof, the flashing around it and keeping water out. You get the light without the worry.
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.
You'll know the plan before any work starts. The estimate is free, and the written contract covers the scope, the price and the warranty. How long it takes depends on size and materials, so we set expectations with you first. For contracted projects, we manage the required permits and inspections. You have direct access to our crew from the first day to the last.
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.
The estimate costs nothing. The price goes into your written contract before we start, and larger projects use a deposit plus progress payments tied to completed work. We take debit and credit cards. Rot or water damage hidden behind finished surfaces is what most often changes a scope.
