Will replacing my skylight fix condensation issues?
If condensation is caused by failed glazing seals, replacement will resolve the issue. However, ventilation and humidity levels inside the home may also need to be addressed.
Is it better to repair or replace a leaking skylight?
Minor flashing issues may be repairable. However, older or damaged skylights are often more cost-effective to replace rather than repeatedly repair.
