Removed old leaking skylight and rusty flashing in Fort Worth, Tx

We’re excited to share the story of a recent project we tackled here at Shepherd Roofing & Renovations. It’s not just about fixing a leaky skylight; it’s about turning a homeowner’s headache into a beautiful addition to their home.

The Problem That Brought Us In

One day, we received a call from a homeowner in Fort Worth, TX, dealing with a persistent skylight leak. It was causing damage inside their home, and they needed help fast. That’s where we came in. Known for our top-notch roofing services, we were ready to roll up our sleeves and get to work.

Our team sprang into action. We promptly responded to the homeowner’s call and scheduled an on-site visit. Our professionalism and attention to detail immediately put the homeowner at ease. We carefully examined the skylight and the surrounding roofing structure, identifying the source of the leak. It was clear that the existing flashing and shingles around the skylight base were in poor condition and required replacement. The homeowner was immediately put at ease by his expertise and warm demeanor.

The Repair Process Unveiled

  1. Removal of Existing Materials: The project began with removing the old, damaged flashing and shingles around the skylight base. This step was crucial to ensure a clean slate for the repair.
  2. Installation of New Flashing: Shepherd Roofing & Renovations installed new flashing to provide a watertight seal around the skylight. This durable material would protect the skylight from future leaks.
  3. Shingles That Shine: We carefully laid down new shingles, ensuring they seamlessly blended with the existing roof. The result was not just sturdy but aesthetically pleasing as well.
  4. Skylight Replacement: The old, problematic skylight was replaced with a matching ‘5×2’ bronze skylight. This upgrade addressed the leak issue and added a touch of elegance to the home’s exterior.
  5. Sealing and Finishing: Attention to detail sets Shepherd Roofing & Renovations apart. After installing the skylight, they meticulously sealed the skylight and the new skylight screws to ensure complete waterproofing. In addition, all vents, penetrations, and exposed nails on the roof were sealed for extra protection.

What was once a source of frustration and damage had been turned into a stunning feature of the home. The new skylight provided better natural lighting and enhanced the overall aesthetic appeal of the space. Most importantly, the homeowner could finally enjoy peace of mind, knowing that their roof and skylight were in top-notch condition.

Throughout the project, our team communicated transparently with the homeowner, keeping them informed at every stage of the repair process. Our knowledge and expertise in roofing and skylights were evident in the quality of the work performed.
