Our approach

How we approach skylight repair

Not every skylight problem needs a new unit. Debris piled against the uphill side, a failed seal or loose flashing can often be repaired.

Some problems, like fogging between panes or cracked glass on older units, usually call for replacement. We tell you which you have.

Straight answers

Skylight Repair questions

Can a cracked skylight be repaired?

It depends on the unit. Some glass can be replaced, but on many older skylights replacing the whole unit is more practical.

Why does water collect on top of my skylight?

Debris dams up on the uphill side. Clearing it and checking the flashing usually helps.

Is my skylight leak a roof problem?

Often, yes. Flashing and the shingles around the skylight are frequent causes.
