It depends on the cause. Often in our area, leaks are due to failed flashing or sealant around the skylight, which we can expertly repair. However, if the skylight unit itself is old or the surrounding roof deck is rotted (a common local issue), a full skylight and deck replacement may be the more reliable, long-term solution. We'll inspect the damage thoroughly and recommend the most cost-effective fix to protect your home.

Directly related. Clogged, damaged, or improperly installed gutters can cause water to overflow and seep behind your fascia and soffit, saturating the roof deck—the wooden layer under your shingles. This constant moisture leads to the rot we frequently see in local homes. Our gutter installation and replacement services ensure water is channeled safely away from your roof's edge, which is a critical defense against deck rot and costly structural repairs.

Repairs are great for isolated damage. But if you're experiencing widespread issues like leaks in multiple areas, visible sagging (which can indicate deck rot), or have an aging roof with frequent problems, a replacement is often more economical and secure in the long run. For Elizabeth homes, a new roof installation with a proper ice and water shield and upgraded ventilation can solve chronic leak issues and provide decades of worry-free protection.
