Skylight Replacement During Reroof in Brea, CA

There is exactly one right time to replace old skylights: while the roof is torn off around them. A skylight replacement during reroof in Brea lets us install new units with proper curb flashing integrated into the new roofing system — instead of trying to seal new skylights into an old roof, which is the source of most skylight leaks.

What This Service Includes

We remove the old skylight and curb down to the deck, inspect and repair the opening framing, install a new curb (or reflash the existing one if it is sound), set the new skylight unit, and integrate step and counter flashing directly into the new shingles or membrane. The skylight becomes part of the new roof system rather than a patched-in afterthought.

Signs You Need This Service

• Fogging or condensation between skylight panes
• Yellowing, crazing, or brittle plastic domes
• Leaks or staining around the skylight shaft
• Skylights as old as the roof being replaced
• A desire for venting or solar-powered blinds

How We Do It Right

We install fixed and venting curb-mounted skylights from major manufacturers, with options for solar-powered blinds and rain sensors. Doing skylights during the reroof typically saves 30 to 50 percent versus a standalone skylight project later — and eliminates the most common leak point on the new roof before it ever becomes one.

Skylight Replacement During Reroof for Brea Homes

Brea homes with aging skylights get the best value by replacing them during the reroof — new units flashed directly into the new roofing system, at a fraction of standalone cost.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can't you just reflash my old skylights?

We can, but if the skylight is as old as the roof, its seals are living on borrowed time. Reflashing a failing unit into a brand-new roof just schedules a future leak — and a future service call that requires disturbing the new roofing.

Do venting skylights really help?

In Brea's climate, a venting skylight in a stairwell or upper hallway can exhaust a surprising amount of trapped heat. They are worth considering during the reroof when the incremental cost is lowest.
