GE Jewett Services | Roofing Services in Watertown, NY 13601

Yes, skylight leaks are a frequent issue here, often due to aging seals or improper flashing that can't handle our freeze-thaw cycles. At GE Jewett, we start with a thorough inspection to find the exact source—it could be the flashing, the sealant, or the skylight itself. Our repair process involves resealing with high-grade materials or, if necessary, a complete skylight replacement to ensure a watertight seal that stands up to North Country weather.

Our roof inspection for flashing issues is detailed—we check all critical areas like valleys, chimneys, vents, and skylights for gaps, corrosion, or lifted edges. To prevent the separation common in our area, we don't just patch it. We remove the compromised flashing, prepare the surface properly, and install new, code-compliant flashing sealed with premium materials. This correct installation is key to preventing water from getting behind the flashing, which is the main cause of leaks and interior damage.

It depends on the overall condition of your roof. If the shingles are also near the end of their life or you have widespread leaks, a full roof replacement with all-new, integrated flashing is often the most cost-effective long-term solution for Watertown homes. However, if the roof itself is in good shape, a targeted flashing repair by our experts can effectively resolve the leak. We'll give you an honest assessment and clear options, so you can make the best decision for your home and budget.
