The house had been re-roofed shortly before we bought it, but the carriage house was not done at the same time. The seals in the double-paned skylights had failed, so the glass was foggy, but the roof wasn't leaking. No big deal from our perspective; we could wait and do some other things first.
Well, eventually we started to get some small water stains around one of the skylights, so it was time.
We contacted a couple of local roofers to get estimates and picked one. It took a while to get scheduled, but we weren't in a hurry. Eventually, after some weather- and COVID-related delays, the day arrived.
They were able to strip the old shingles off and install the new ones in (almost) a day. The removed the old skylights and installed new ones while they were at it. Because of the hipped roof, they ended up a little short on the cap shingles, so those had to be delivered and installed later in the week.
We're happy with the results! (slideshow of the work in-progress)
