Frequently Asked Questions
Do skylights leak?
Properly installed and flashed skylights don't. Most "skylight leaks" are flashing or installation failures — which is why experienced installation matters, especially with Cape Cod's wind-driven rain.
Should I repair or replace an old skylight?
If the unit is fogged, cracked, or past 15–20 years, replacement usually beats repeated repairs — and modern units are far more efficient. We'll give you an honest assessment.
Can you add a skylight to an existing roof?
Yes. We cut in, frame, flash, and finish new skylights — and the best time is during a roof replacement, though standalone installs are common too.
Are skylights a good idea in Cape Cod weather?
Yes, when installed correctly with quality units rated for coastal conditions. They bring natural light into Cape homes' typically darker upper floors without compromising the roof.
