If your skylights are older than 8 years you might consider replacing them
New roofs are installed every 20 to 40 years depending on quality and type. Skylight life is closer to 10 to 15 years. It is entirely possible that you had to replace your skylights before your home needed a new roof. If the skylights have managed to last as long as the roof, you are probably lucky and you should probably replace them. Replacing them at the same time you put on a new roof is very cost effective. As a rule of thumb, if your skylights are older than 8 years, you might consider replacing them. If you think you might need new skylights with a roof install, we can help.
