A frustrated customer contacted us after trying — without success — to find a roofing company that could replace a skylight on a metal roof. After several failed attempts with other contractors, he finally discovered The Roof Whispereronline, and we quickly came to the rescue.

Why Other Roofing Companies Avoid Skylight Replacements

Many roofing and skylight companies avoid skylight work on metal roofs. Why? Because they lack the skilled personnel and don’t want to risk losing bids by including skylight replacement costs in full roof replacement quotes. Unfortunately, this leaves homeowners without proper solutions, and in many cases, with skylights that continue to leak or deteriorate.

At The Roof Whisperer, we take a different approach. We refuse to perform any roof replacement if the skylights are older than five years or if they are not Velux skylights. This policy ensures that every project meets the highest standards of quality and prevents future issues caused by inferior products.

Raising and Leveling the Skylight Curb

For this project, we carefully removed the metal panels surrounding the old skylight. Next, we raised the curb to align it perfectly with the wood strapping, since skylights must be set at the same height as the surrounding roofing material. This precise adjustment allows the new Velux skylight to sit flush, ensuring proper waterproofing and long-term performance.

The Result

By choosing The Roof Whisperer, the homeowner finally received a permanent solution. The new skylight is fully integrated with the metal roof system, providing a leak-free installation that will last for decades.
