Hernandez Roofing | Roofing Services in Ladson, SC 29456

If not done correctly, it can. A key cause of roof deck rot in our area is moisture intrusion. At Hernandez Roofing, we first assess the health of your roof deck around the installation area. If we find any rot or weakness, we repair it before proceeding. Our skylight installations include meticulous flashing and sealing techniques specifically suited to South Carolina's weather, ensuring the new feature protects your home rather than creating a new entry point for water.

Often, the best time to add a skylight is during a full roof replacement. If your Ladson home has widespread aging shingles, installing a skylight on a worn roof risks future leaks around the new fixture. We recommend integrating skylight installation as part of a comprehensive re-roofing project. This allows us to create a unified, watertight system with new underlayment and shingles, giving you the benefits of natural light without compromising the integrity of your new roof.

Before any renovation like a skylight addition, it's wise to check for rot. From the inside, look in your attic for dark stains, soft or spongy wood, or a musty smell—especially near vents or old leaks. Outside, sagging roof lines or cracked shingles can indicate deck weakness. Given how common this issue is in Ladson, we offer free inspections. We'll check the proposed skylight location and the entire roof structure to ensure it's sound and capable of supporting the installation safely.
