Skylight Flashing Repair in Williamsburg, VA
RoofTrue repairs and replaces skylight flashing for homes in Williamsburg and the surrounding area. Flashing is the metal and membrane that guides water around the skylight. When it rusts, loosens or was installed wrong, water gets under the shingles and into the ceiling. We remove the shingles around the unit, install correct flashing, and seal it back in.

Our approach
How we approach skylight flashing repair
Roofing cement is not flashing. If your skylight has been "fixed" with a thick layer of tar, the real problem is likely still there.
Proper flashing laps like shingles do: each piece sheds water onto the one below it. That layering is what keeps wind-driven rain out.
