Skylight Installation & Repair in
Salem County, NJ

Skylight leaks in Salem County's pre-1900 farmhouses frequently involve original curb construction using hand-cut lumber that has absorbed decades of moisture and developed the dimensional instability that opens gaps at every curb-to-deck and curb-to-frame joint. Standard caulk repairs in these conditions last one to two seasons before the wood movement reopens the gap and the leak resumes. We replace original wood curbs with factory-built composite curbs on Salem County historic property skylight repairs where curb deterioration is confirmed — eliminating the wood moisture cycle that causes recurring leaks regardless of how well the flashing is installed over a compromised substrate.

For Salem County properties with fogged or cracked skylight glazing — a common condition on 20–30 year old units throughout the county's rural residential inventory — we provide glazing unit replacement using current-specification glass that improves both the thermal performance and the solar heat gain characteristics of the original unit. Glazing replacement is significantly less expensive than full skylight replacement and restores the unit to effective service for another 15–20 years in most cases.
