Repair & Improve

OPEN UP YOUR SPACE WITH SKYLIGHTS

Skylights add a bright, spacious feel - just make sure it's watertight!

What can you add to your home that can beautify the interior, make it seem roomier, save you money and may actually help strengthen your bones and teeth?  A skylight!  Skylights can open rooms up to natural light, make small spaces seem larger and create energy efficient possibilities that may help lower your utility bills.  Plus, some studies show that people who are exposed to more sunlight may boost their Vitamin D intake, which is known to strengthen teeth and bones.

But there is the risk of home improvement headaches – IF your skylight is not installed right and you end up with costly water damage.  When building skylights – or other roof details like valleys, rake edges, chimneys, ridges and dormer walls – make sure you take precautions to prevent water permeation.  One product we like by Grace is the first of its kind – designed specifically for waterproofing roof details.  It’s called Roof Detail Membrane – a flexible membrane that conforms tightly to roof details.  It’s a little extra protection that can go a long way.
