Ice Dam Prevention: Designing a Roof That Beats Winter’s Worst
Skylights can brighten a home and add value, but a poorly installed skylight can create leaks and structural problems. Before cutting into your roof, here’s what to consider.
Choosing the Right Skylight
• Fixed skylights – Great for light without ventilation
• Vented skylights – Allow airflow
• Tubular skylights – Perfect for small spaces
Placement Matters
Orientation, slope, and framing affect performance and energy efficiency.
Weatherproofing
In Massachusetts, proper flashing and sealing are critical to prevent leaks during heavy rain and snow.
Maintenance Tips
• Inspect seals annually
• Clean glass to prevent buildup
• Address condensation promptly
