How to fix a skylight. Remove it and put in a piece of sheeting and roof right over it

@kevins5268 8 месяцев назад

That's not good if you have a pool house. I love my skylights and natural light when swimming indoors

@dominick253 4 месяца назад

Yes!!! This! They're useless. Maybe before electricity was invented they were nice 😂😂😂

@mikenestle4679 9 лет назад

This is the best video on removing skylights anywhere. A lot of "This Old House" is not so easy to apply to structures in the Western USA but this is a pleasant exception.

Really love these shows, there's another TOH skylight replacement job video that I just saw and Tommy was very adamant about needing a safety harness that's tied to the roof and it was him and Kevin doing it. Now here's a video Tommy and the homeowner, nah we don't need safety gear.

@neilirvine5469 4 года назад

Mike B May depend on the slope and height of the roof. They also have scaffolding set up in this one, which is a big step up in safety.

@rdahlinger4509 Год назад

Thank you so much this is exactly what I was looking for and my skylight is the same angle as yours. Much appreciated

Self sealing membrane is tommys word like FULL CITY WATER PRESSURE to Richard.

@kdlittlehawk 6 лет назад

On some shingles its impossible to seperate them to get a prybar underneath to remove the nails. The adhesive is baked on solid. You destroy the shingles in the process. This should have been mentioned in the video.

It looked like the old skylight was installed properly... I wonder where it leaked??? We had to replace 2 Velux skylights that fogged up after 20 years, but never leaked.

@jerseyjim9092 Год назад

Why would a skylight leak other than thru improper flashing. I have one that 23 years old and recently after a noreaster, I had some minor dripping from an inside corner. I haven't found the source and it hasn't leaked since. If at some point they fail I'd rather remove them than replace (I have 6) but that would involve a lot of work including adding ceiling drywall.

@marktheunitedstatescitezen185 2 года назад

Must I replace my old skylight ? Or can I buy step - flashing and reflash it ? Clean up the area , new flashing , new ice & water ?

@RC-Heli835 3 года назад

I love sky lights but ours have been a night mare for leaks. One actually got busted by a tree limb. It was one that opens so it was very expensive to replace. I managed to fix it instead with 1/2" plexiglass and car windshield glue. That one never has leaked though.

@richardp5920 3 года назад

That’s what homeowners insurance is for.

@artman102 8 лет назад

The new one could leak also. Notice that the last top flashing did not go under the shingles very far. Water will get under it through the shingle gaps.

@dansweborg251 8 лет назад

@stevebl5898 8 месяцев назад

I'm confused about the using step flashing as opposed to one long piece under the shingles. Will this keep runoff on top (somewhat) ? Thanks

@ajibadeadeniji1714 5 лет назад

@lisaraschsmith4354 19 дней назад

Did you reuse the shingles that you took off?

@Lukas-Jabs 2 года назад

After replacing a skylight I have some water staying in the corner of the skylight after rain is it because it is not horizontally level ?

@Chuck59ish 9 лет назад

Why not paint the trim before installing the skylight?

@ticktockbam 4 года назад

I saw that and I was like *bruh*

@johnsmith-wc8gs 4 года назад

You certainly could but it would still need to be caulked

@marktheamerican4162 4 года назад

Hey Tommy I have a skylight it’s leaking is it true that when the skylight leaks you have to replace the entire skylight or can we just replace the flashing ?

@johnsmith-wc8gs 4 года назад

Well that depends on where it is leaking doesn't it?

@cengeb 6 лет назад

Before the new skylight replace the shingles, that roof is past its prime...cracked means old and done

@GoldenTiger01 6 лет назад

Is this considered a deck mounted or curb mounted skylight?

@happity 4 года назад

That's a curb. He just custom built the curb frame.

@brianhenneman428 6 лет назад

I have a roof leak (or maybe a skylight leak) next to a skylight that I can't seem to fix. I've been up on the roof and in the attic a dozen times trying to fill every possible crack and nothing works. Hope replacing the skylight will do the trick.

@Austinroofingcontractors 5 лет назад

Pooky or caulk is not a good substitute for proper roofing techniques. I'm not sure why so many install Ice & Water beneath a well-flashed skylight, I think the fear they did it wrong. Here's what we do even with Velux. I'm not a fan of the snap-together aluminum flashing Velux makes. This has been time tested and proven to last more than the lifetime of any wood or composition shingles. Slate, upgrade to copper!

@vancieboy 8 лет назад

Also at the bottom right corner where he started the shingles the flaps lined exactly over each other...poor practise...should stagger...

@williamniland761 Год назад

How was the shingles not melted to the ice and water. That’s usually the hardest part. Getting the shingles out clean.

@makanwalou8414 6 лет назад

No nails in the window frame. I just installed a Velux skylight and followed their installation steps. The nails go only on the side of the flashing never on the window. I guess contractors don't read instructions!

@scottvan1898 4 года назад

I rather go in the window fram than driving into the roof

@tomhardware2254 5 лет назад

The best way to fix a leaking skylight is to remove the old one and roof over the hole.

@ticktockbam 4 года назад

But what if you actually want a non-leaking skylight tho?

@stevepompei3694 Год назад

@hahahahhahahhaha786 3 месяца назад

Or you could actually be a roofer and know how to use flashing.

@RikuSpirit 4 года назад

When cutting shingles especially old dry ones, wear gloves. If your utility knife slips you will leave your knuckles skin on the roof. It's like 10 grit sandpaper.

@Faruk651 Год назад

Ahahah now you have a brand new skylight to repair. If you already have windows to get enough natural light inside the house, why would anyone want to compromise one of the most important aspects of a house.
