Sergios Roofing serves Redding's rural estates and historic colonial homes with licensed roofing services throughout eastern Fairfield County. This tree-shaded Revolutionary War-era town's wooded properties and historic architecture require careful material selection, moss and lichen treatment experience, and precise detail work on every roof project.
Sergios Roofing installs and replaces skylights throughout Redding, CT. Bring natural light into your home or business with a properly waterproofed, structurally framed skylight installation backed by 20 years of Connecticut experience and BBB accreditation.
A skylight is one of the most impactful upgrades available to a Connecticut homeowner, but it is also a penetration through the most critical waterproofing layer of the building — the roof. In Connecticut's climate, where freeze- thaw cycles, heavy snowfall, and sustained rain events test every roofing detail, the quality of the skylight installation determines whether the project delivers lasting value or becomes an ongoing source of leaks and heat loss. Sergios Roofing installs fixed skylights, venting skylights, tubular daylighting devices, and commercial roof glazing systems across Connecticut. We follow manufacturer installation protocols precisely — the flashing kit specified for each skylight product must be installed exactly as designed. Field-improvised flashing is the most common cause of skylight leaks on Connecticut properties and something we never resort to on any project. The structural opening for a skylight must be properly framed before the unit is installed. We assess existing rafter spacing, install headers and trimmer rafters as required by the opening size and Connecticut building code, and confirm that the opening is square and properly supported. Interior finish work — drywall, trim, and light shaft framing — is coordinated with the exterior installation to complete the project correctly.
Skylight replacement is among the most common roofing-related projects we perform on Connecticut homes. Skylights installed more than 15 to 20 years ago were built to lower performance standards and frequently develop seal failures, condensation between panes, and flashing deterioration that leads to leaks. In many cases, the skylight unit is still structurally intact but the original flashing has failed after years of Connecticut freeze-thaw cycling. When a Connecticut homeowner reports a skylight leak, Sergios Roofing begins with a thorough inspection to diagnose the exact source. Skylight leaks can originate at the glass-to-frame seal, the step flashing along the curb sides, the head flashing at the upper roof, or the sill flashing at the lower edge. Misdiagnosing the failure point leads to repairs that do not actually solve the problem. We replace complete skylight units when the original product has failed beyond repair, installing new units with manufacturer-specified flashing kits and ice and water shield at all transition points. For properties where the existing skylight is still performing but the surrounding roofing is being replaced, we assess whether existing flashing can be reused or must be replaced to integrate correctly with the new roofing system.
Connecticut's climate creates specific skylight challenges absent in more moderate regions. Ice dams that form at the eave can back up under roofing materials and reach skylight openings, forcing water through flashing joints that would otherwise be watertight. Snow loads against a skylight curb create hydrostatic pressure at the perimeter that reveals any weakness in the original installation — sometimes years after the initial leak has been forgotten. A properly installed Connecticut skylight includes ice and water shield beneath the step flashing on both sides of the opening, ice and water shield at the sill beneath the apron flashing, and a continuous strip at the head extending at least 24 inches up from the top of the skylight frame. This detail is required by Connecticut building code for all roof penetrations in the climate zone and is the single most important factor in long-term leak prevention. Sergios Roofing installs every Connecticut skylight with full ice and water shield perimeter protection, manufacturer-specified flashing kits, and correct integration with the adjacent roofing system. We have repaired and replaced enough poorly installed skylights on Connecticut properties to understand exactly what the installation must include to perform reliably through decades of Connecticut seasonal conditions.
