Garage Skylight Removal & Roof Transformation
Transforming Spaces: Skylight Removal by Mattsson Roofing
Today, we want to share a recent project we completed where we transformed this garage roof into a more functional and streamlined space. At Mattsson Roofing we're dedicated to providing top-notch roofing solutions that meet the unique needs of our clients in Bergen County.
Garage Roof Replacement
Our latest project involved a complete garage roof replacement. The garage had a low-slope area that was initially covered with shingles, which are not ideal for such roof types due to their susceptibility to leaks and water damage.
Switching to a Roll Roofing System
To address this, we converted the low-slope area to a roll roofing system. Roll roofing is excellent for areas like these because it offers better protection against the elements and is especially effective in preventing leaks.
Skylight Removal: Enhancing Roof Integrity
One notable aspect of this garage was the existing skylight. While skylights can be a beautiful addition, providing natural light and enhancing aesthetics, they can also be problematic, especially if awkwardly placed or unnecessary.
The homeowners opted to remove the skylight. Our team carefully removed the skylight and sealed the opening with a solid sheet of plywood. We then seamlessly integrated the area with the rest of the new roofing material.
The Benefits of Removing Unwanted Skylights
Removing a skylight can significantly improve the integrity and insulation of your roof. In cases where skylights become more of a burden than a benefit—due to placement, leakage issues, or unnecessary light—it might be practical to consider removal.
Although we specialize in skylight replacement and enjoy the beauty they can add, we also understand and support homeowners' decisions to remove them when they no longer serve their intended purpose.
Finishing Touches
Post skylight removal, our role as roofers was complete. The homeowner will engage a painter or drywall professional to insulate the area formerly occupied by the skylight and finish it with fresh sheetrock. This step ensures that the interior matches the new, streamlined exterior.
