When Is the Best Time to Get a New Skylight?

A skylight is a great addition to your home because it is both appealing and functional. It will illuminate darker areas of your home and make you less dependent on artificial lighting. Like quality roofing and siding, it can help reduce your energy bills. 

Read on to discover when is the best time to get a new skylight. 

During Summer

Summer is a great time to do home improvement projects like skylight and roof installation. When installing a skylight, some parts of your roof will need to be removed. You do not need to worry about exposing your home to rain or snow when you choose to schedule your project in summer. Also, nice weather means lower chances of delays during the installation.

When Replacing Your Old Roof

Another great time to get a new skylight is when you are replacing your old roof. It will not only be more convenient, but also cost-effective. Doing these two projects at the same time can help avoid seal failure. For instance, when you replace your roof, but do not also get a new skylight, it can increase the likelihood of seal failure.

Even the highest quality skylight would need to be replaced. It is natural for its seal and flashing to deteriorate as it ages. However, once these components have been compromised, the chances of leaks occurring increase. Water can penetrate your roof and eventually enter your home. The easiest way to avoid this issue is to hire a skilled contractor for your skylight and roof installation. Keep in mind that proper installation is key to making the most of your investments.
