Expert Skylight Replacement in Port Richmond, PA

Skylight replacement is one of the most common roofing calls we get from Port Richmond homeowners. Older row homes and two-family properties in this neighborhood often have skylights that have cracked, fogged, or started to leak around the flashing. Philadelphia weather puts real stress on rooftop glass year-round, from summer thunderstorms to winter freeze-thaw cycles that work moisture into worn seals. At Malcolm Bros Roofing, we assess the existing curb, flashing, and surrounding deck before any unit goes in. We remove the old skylight cleanly, inspect the opening for rot or water damage, and set the new unit with proper flashing to keep water out long-term. Whether your skylight sits above a kitchen, stairwell, or living room, a proper replacement stops leaks and restores natural light to your home. If your Port Richmond skylight is fogged, cracked, or dripping, call Malcolm Bros Roofing to schedule an inspection.

Skylight Replacement FAQ

Common questions about skylight replacement in Port Richmond, PA.

Replacement is the right call when the glazing is cracked, the seal has failed and caused fogging between panes, or the frame is warped. A quick inspection by Malcolm Bros Roofing will confirm which option fits your situation in Port Richmond.

In most cases, a new unit can be fitted to the existing curb and opening without cutting a larger hole. Malcolm Bros Roofing measures the opening carefully before ordering any replacement unit for your Port Richmond home.

Yes, water that gets past a failed skylight seal can rot the surrounding deck and stain or warp interior ceilings. Catching it early limits how much structural material needs to be replaced.

Clear the area directly below the skylight inside your Port Richmond home so the crew has safe access and your belongings stay protected. No other prep is typically needed from the homeowner.

Skylight replacement is a roofing job because the flashing and deck integration are what keep water out. Malcolm Bros Roofing handles the full scope, from removing the old unit to sealing the new one into the roof system.

Philadelphia's freeze-thaw cycles and summer storm activity put repeated stress on skylight seals and flashing, which causes them to crack or separate over time. Older units with single-pane glazing or aluminum frames are especially prone to early failure.

I have used Malcolm Bros the last few years for roof repair, and maintenance and then to redo my roof. Barry is dependable, communicative, thorough and gives fair pricing. The workers do the job and everything is cleaned up when they're finished. I recommend Malcolm Bros to all my friends and family.
