Summary

• There are various reasons why a person might need
  to contact a residential roofing company for
  repair work because winters can be very demanding
  on roofs. More than any other feature, skylights
  appear to be problematic throughout the winter.
  Skylights can be a beautiful addition to a home,
  but they can be ineffective in cold and rainy
  weather.

Regularly Examine Your Property

• A roofer should check your skylights in Lowell at
  least once each year if you have one. You should
  pay special attention to the condition of the
  seals and flashing. Over a fierce winter like the
  one we're seeing this year, even seemingly tiny
  flaws can develop into significant issues.

Reducing the Humidity beneath the Skylight

• The moisture will ascend with the heat and gather
  on the skylight if the space below is humid. It
  may even freeze in some cases, especially at the
  frame's boundaries. A leak may emerge around the
  skylight's margins due to the material expansion
  this generates, which can quickly harm the seal.

Shielding With Ice and Water

• Although this improvement is a little more
  expensive, it may be worthwhile in the long run.
  A roofing professional can add ice and water
  shielding below the shingles to your roof if it
  still needs to have it around the skylight.
  Although it won't stop every potential issue, it
  will provide an additional defense against water
  intrusion into your property.
