Skylight replacement in Loganville

Skylights reach a point where reflashing is not enough — a rotted frame, a failed sealed unit with moisture between the panes, or a unit old enough that compatible flashing is no longer made. Replacement is roof work as much as window work, because the flashing kit and its relationship to the surrounding courses is what keeps water out. A new unit fitted with old or improvised flashing leaks exactly like the one it replaced.

Why roofs fail in Loganville and Gwinnett County

Loganville sits in the metro Atlanta hail and wind corridor. Spring storm season here does two kinds of damage, and only one of them is obvious. Straight-line wind lifts shingle tabs, breaks the seal strip underneath, and drops them back down looking untouched — the roof then leaks in the next storm from a spot that shows nothing from the ground. Hail does the other kind, bruising the mat under the granules so the shingle fails months later. Housing stock across Gwinnett County skews newer and denser than most of the state, which means a lot of architectural asphalt in the 10-to-20-year band where the seal strip is past its best but the roof is nowhere near replacement.

Loganville has a population of about 14,127, and the housing stock here sets the pattern for what fails first on a roof.

Questions about skylight replacement in Loganville

Can I replace just the glass?

On some units yes, where the sealed unit is a serviceable part and the frame is sound. On older or sealed-frame models the whole unit is the replacement item.

Does the roof need work at the same time?

The courses around the opening have to be lifted and reinstated regardless, so it is worth checking the surrounding area while access is there. On an older roof it is often sensible to do both together.
