Skylight Flashing - Good Guys Roofing Company



Another very important component of your roof system is the flashing used around skylights. Water has no way of being wicked away from the base of the skylight curb, so you need to make sure this area is water tight. A lot of roofing contractor will rely on silicone or other adhesive to minimize leaks. We do not recommend relying on a building products that have a lifespan of 1-2 years. When you re-flash the skylight properly, the flashing system will outlast the shingles. If your contractor is re-using the skylight flashings they are not only violating building code, but they are setting you up for leaks down the road.
