Our Expert Skylight Repair Services
We focus on checking every part of your skylight carefully, fixing problems based on what is found, and handling urgent leaks quickly. Our work is detailed and made to match each skylight's needs.
Comprehensive Inspection
We start with a full inspection to find all skylight issues. This includes checking the glass for cracks, seals for damage, and frames for wear. We also look for signs of water damage inside your home.
Our team uses special tools to spot leaks and weak spots that are not easy to see. This helps us catch problems early and avoid bigger repairs later. We document everything we find and explain the results clearly.
Customized Repair Solutions
Each skylight is different, so we create repair plans just for yours. If the glass is cracked, we may replace it with the right type and size. For seal leaks, we apply high-quality sealants designed to last.
We also fix frames by tightening or replacing parts that are damaged. Our goal is to restore your skylight’s strength and keep it weatherproof. We make sure repairs fit your home’s style and meet building codes.

Leaks can happen suddenly and cause damage fast. We offer quick response services to stop leaks as soon as you call us. Our emergency fixes include patching cracks, resealing joints, and removing water buildup.
If needed, we install temporary covers to protect your home until full repairs are done. We know that leaks disrupt your life, so we work fast to limit damage and keep your home dry.
Types of Skylight Repairs We Offer
We handle a variety of skylight repair needs to keep your skylight safe and functioning well. This includes fixing broken glass, repairing frames and flashing, and renewing sealants to stop leaks and drafts. Each type of repair targets specific problems that affect the skylight's performance and durability.
Glass and Glazing Replacement
When skylight glass cracks, breaks, or becomes foggy, it needs replacement. We remove the damaged glass and install new, energy-efficient glazing that matches your skylight’s style. This helps maintain proper insulation and prevents water leaks.
Our team uses quality glass that resists impact and reduces heat loss. We also check the glazing beads and ensure they are secured tightly to avoid rattling and drafts. Timely glass replacement protects your home from water damage and improves comfort.
Frame and Flashing Repairs
Frames and flashing support the skylight and keep it sealed to the roof. Damaged or rotted frames can cause leaks and weaken the structure. We repair or replace these parts to restore stability.
Flashing repairs are crucial because flashing directs water away from the skylight. We inspect the metal flashing for rust, gaps, or bends. Fixing or installing new flashing stops leaks and protects your roof and ceiling from water damage.
Sealant and Weatherproofing

Sealants around skylights wear out over time, causing drafts and leaks. We remove old sealant and apply fresh weatherproof sealants that are durable and flexible.
Proper sealant protects against wind, rain, and temperature changes. We use materials that last longer and stick well to glass, frames, and roofing materials. This improves your skylight’s energy efficiency and prevents future water problems.
Preventative Skylight Maintenance
We recommend regular maintenance to keep skylights in good condition. This helps avoid leaks, cracks, and other damage that can cause costly repairs.
Our team checks seals and flashing around the skylight. Worn or damaged seals let water in, so we replace them when needed to stop leaks.
Cleaning is also important. Dirt and debris build up over time, reducing light and potentially causing scratches. We use safe methods to clean the glass and frame.
We look for signs of condensation inside the skylight. This can mean poor insulation or damaged glass. Fixing these issues early saves energy and prevents further damage.
Our preventative services help extend skylight life and maintain home comfort. We spot small issues before they grow into expensive problems.
