Do I Need To Replace My Skylights With My Roof?

Do you need to replace your skylights when you replace your roof?
It's generally a good idea, as doing so can help ensure that your skylights are properly installed and integrated with the new roof.
Here are some reasons why replacing your skylights with your roof is a good idea:
Proper Installation: Replacing skylights at the same time as your roof can ensure that they are properly installed and sealed, reducing the risk of leaks and other issues.
Improved Energy Efficiency: if your skylights are as old as your roof, replacing old skylights with newer, energy-efficient models can help reduce your heating and cooling costs by improving insulation and reducing heat transfer.
Safer and More Durable: Newer skylights are often designed with safety features such as tempered glass, and they may be more durable and resistant to damage from weather and other factors.
Overall, replacing skylights with your roof can help ensure that your home is properly protected from the elements, and can provide additional benefits such as improved energy efficiency and safety.

Recoating metal roofs provides a less-expensive option than replacing them, with the coating sealing any leaks, cracks, and seams that natural wear-and-tear causes.
