The Perfect Time for an Upgrade: Why Replace Skylights During Your Roof Replacement

Getting a new roof for your home in southern New Hampshire or Vermont is a big deal. You have to pick the right shingles and find a roofer you trust. But don't forget about your skylights! If you have older skylights, just roofing around them might seem easy, but it's usually a mistake. Replacing your skylights at the same time as your roof is the smartest and most affordable way to make sure your whole roof works perfectly for years. It stops future leaks, saves energy, and gives you a single warranty for peace of mind.

Save Money by Doing Both at Once

One of the best reasons to do both projects together is to save money. Setting up for a roof job takes a lot of time and effort, like putting up safety gear and tearing off old materials. If you wait to replace a skylight later, you have to pay for all that setup again for a tiny job.

By bundling your skylight replacement with your residential roof replacement, you use the same work crew and setup. Our team is already up there, so adding the skylight is much faster and cheaper for you. It turns two costly projects into one affordable upgrade.

One Complete Roof, One Strong Warranty

Your roof is a complete system, and your skylights are a big part of it. When you put a new roof around an old skylight, you create a weak spot. The old seals might not fit well with the new shingles, and they will probably wear out long before your new roof does.

Replacing your skylights with new Velux models during a re-roof means we install them with brand-new, perfectly matched seals. This creates a solid barrier against rain and snow. Even better, your whole roof and skylight system gets one complete warranty. If there is ever a leak, you only have to call Roofit1. We make sure everything is built to last.

Save Energy and Stop Winter Leaks

Skylights have gotten much better over the last 20 years. Old skylights often leak air, letting your heat escape in the winter and making your home too hot in the summer. This drives up your energy bills.

New Velux skylights are built to keep the temperature inside your home comfortable. They use special glass to stop heat from passing through. Upgrading makes your home cozier and lowers your bills. Plus, a good installation helps stop ice dams, which are a big problem in our cold winters. By sealing the new skylight tightly, we protect your home from winter weather damage.
