Shingle Roof Replacement Services in Huntington, WV – Including Skylight Removal When Needed

Homeowners in the Huntington, WV area often reach out when their shingle roofs approach the 20–30 year mark and need a full replacement. Many homes in Cabell and Wayne counties are built with aging skylights that homeowners no longer want to maintain, and removing them during a roof replacement is a common request.

For a typical Huntington-area home—such as a single-story residence with a 25-year-old shingle roof—our team can provide a complete tear-off, installation of new architectural shingles, and the removal and decking-over of skylights for a cleaner, more reliable roof system.

What a Roof Replacement With Skylight Removal Involves

When a homeowner wants to eliminate skylights during replacement, our Huntington roofing team will:

• Remove the old skylights
• Repair and re-deck the openings with proper sheathing
• Apply ice & water shield and synthetic underlayment
• Install new shingles and flashing to match the rest of the system

This ensures the home is fully sealed, watertight, and ready for decades of protection.

Why Roofs Around 25 Years Old Should Be Replaced

In Huntington, roofs exposed to humidity, heavy rainfall, and winter freeze–thaw cycles tend to age faster. By the time a shingle roof reaches 25 years:

• granule loss increases
• seal strips weaken
• underlayment becomes brittle
• leaks may start around penetrations or skylights

Replacing the system before these issues worsen helps prevent interior damage and structural repair costs.

Skylight Removal in Huntington, WV

Many Huntington homeowners choose to remove older skylights because:

• they are prone to leaking as seals fail
• the original flashing kits are outdated
• energy efficiency is lower than modern alternatives
• eliminating skylights simplifies future maintenance

Our roofing crews can remove one or multiple skylights during a standard roof replacement and restore the decking as if they were never there.
