Replacing a skylight on a metal roof can be one of the most difficult roofing projects. Unlike shingle roofs, you cannot simply fasten scaffolding or jacks into place. Standing seam systems allow for special roof jacks, but interlock metal roofs leave little room to work. In addition, the slippery surface makes safety precautions absolutely essential.

Safe and Professional Skylight Installation

For this project, our team secured ladders with hooks at the roof peak and tied safety ropes to a nearby tree trunk. Once safe access was ready, we removed the metal roof panels around the skylight. After that, we installed an ice and water shield membrane to ensure waterproofing. We then combined custom flashing with pre-manufactured Velux flashing to create a durable, watertight seal.

To improve insulation and stop air drafts, we used spray foam in the gaps between the wood trim panels and the skylight frame. This step not only blocked cold air but also improved the home’s energy efficiency.
