Should I Replace My Skylights When I Replace My Roof?
Skylights are a component of your roofing system. While they act like and essentially are a window to most homeowners, they are a part of a completely different system. Skylights are only taken care of by roofing companies, because they are tied into your overall roof system Below are a list of reasons why its important to handle them while taking care of your roof.
