The best way to fix a leaking skylight is to remove the old one and roof over the hole.
Wow they did it in less than 7 minutes!
Muito ótimo bom
interesting
When cutting shingles especially old dry ones, wear gloves. If your utility knife slips you will leave your knuckles skin on the roof. It's like 10 grit sandpaper.
Hey Tommy I have a skylight it’s leaking is it true that when the skylight leaks you have to replace the entire skylight or can we just replace the flashing ?
i’m getting too old to climb up on the roof.
… “the flat bahhhr in the top cahhhnah” really did the trick.
I love these.
MEMBRANE
Really love these shows, there's another TOH skylight replacement job video that I just saw and Tommy was very adamant about needing a safety harness that's tied to the roof and it was him and Kevin doing it. Now here's a video Tommy and the homeowner, nah we don't need safety gear.
