A leaking skylight in Bishop is often due to failed flashing or sealant. The best fix involves a thorough inspection to identify the exact failure point, then replacing the perimeter flashing with a durable, weather-resistant type and applying a high-grade sealant designed for our temperature extremes. It's crucial to address this quickly to prevent interior water damage.

Bishop's intense sun and dry heat can bake and brittle traditional underlayment over time. We recommend upgrading to a synthetic underlayment, which offers superior UV and tear resistance compared to felt paper. It provides a more durable secondary water barrier, which is critical for protecting your roof deck if shingles are damaged.

For minor repairs like resealing a vent pipe or replacing a few shingles, a capable DIY homeowner can often manage with the right materials and guidance from our team. However, for complex issues involving structural sheathing, widespread underlayment failure, or intricate flashing around skylights and chimneys, we strongly recommend consulting with one of the experienced local contractors we work with to ensure a lasting, watertight repair.
