Incorporating a skylight into your roof can flood your space with natural light and boost property value—if it’s installed correctly. Unfortunately, even in a city like New York, poorly executed skylight installation projects are more common than you’d think. From improper placement to inadequate sealing, the smallest oversight can lead to costly repairs and persistent leaks. That’s why trusting an expert makes all the difference.
Missteps That Compromise Skylight Performance:
The most common mistake in skylight installation is placement without proper planning. Installing a skylight where runoff naturally collects can accelerate wear on your roofing system and cause internal water damage. At FH Roofing & Chimney, we evaluate slope, water flow, and roof structure before anything is cut.
Another critical issue is sealing. Using substandard materials or rushing through the flashing process can create weak points that invite water intrusion. In New York’s unpredictable weather, that can lead to recurring problems that require extensive roofing repair services. Our team uses high-grade sealants and time-tested techniques to ensure a watertight fit, minimizing the need for frequent skylight repair.
