Skylight replacement in St. Leo

Skylights reach a point where reflashing is not enough — a rotted frame, a failed sealed unit with moisture between the panes, or a unit old enough that compatible flashing is no longer made. Replacement is roof work as much as window work, because the flashing kit and its relationship to the surrounding courses is what keeps water out. A new unit fitted with old or improvised flashing leaks exactly like the one it replaced.

Why roofs fail in St. Leo and Pasco County

St. Leo sits on a stretch of coast where hurricane exposure is the defining fact of roofing. Sustained wind drives rain horizontally under shingle courses that would shed any vertical downpour, and it works tabs loose over hours rather than tearing them off — so the roof reads as undamaged right up until the next storm. Between seasons, the heat and humidity across Pasco County harden every rubber and sealant component and keep anything that gets wet from drying. The insurance picture matters as much as the weather here: Florida's market has reshaped how roof claims are handled, deductibles for named storms are calculated differently from ordinary ones, and documentation taken before any work starts is what decides how a claim goes.

St. Leo has a population of about 2,362, and the housing stock here sets the pattern for what fails first on a roof.

Questions about skylight replacement in St. Leo

Can I replace just the glass?

On some units yes, where the sealed unit is a serviceable part and the frame is sound. On older or sealed-frame models the whole unit is the replacement item.

Does the roof need work at the same time?

The courses around the opening have to be lifted and reinstated regardless, so it is worth checking the surrounding area while access is there. On an older roof it is often sensible to do both together.
