When to Replace vs. Repair

Skylight decisions for Wakefield homeowners usually come down to age and condition:

1. Under 10 years old — usually repairable with new flashing or seals
2. 10-20 years old — evaluate replacement during your next reroof
3. Over 20 years old — replace during reroofing for best value and seal
4. Foggy double-pane — seal has failed, replacement recommended
5. Cracked frame — usually requires full unit replacement

Best Time to Install or Replace Skylights

The ideal time to address skylights in your Wakefield home is during a roof replacement. When the roof is already being torn off, adding or replacing a skylight costs significantly less because the flashing integration is part of the roofing process rather than a separate project.
