We also check attic ventilation near the skylight opening, since poor airflow often contributes to the condensation issues homeowners mistake for leaks.
Most skylight leaks trace back to the flashing around the curb, not the glass or dome itself — a detail general roofers sometimes miss.
We also check the surrounding shingles and decking while we're up there, since a skylight issue sometimes points to a broader roof concern.
Every Skylight Repair technician carries current Island Lake, IL licensing and skylight-specific training.
We carry common flashing and seal materials to handle most repairs in one visit.
Written Skylight Repair estimates before any repair, covering flashing, seals, or replacement separately.
Moisture meters help confirm whether a leak is active or residual before recommending a fix.
Skylight issues cover a specific range of leak and seal problems — here's our Skylight Repair scope.
We re-flash the full perimeter, not just the section that's visibly failing.
Degraded rubber seals let water in around the glass or dome even when flashing is intact.
We diagnose whether it's actually water intrusion or a ventilation issue before recommending a repair.
Replacement units are properly flashed and sealed, not just dropped into the old opening.
Adding a skylight to a Island Lake home involves structural and flashing considerations beyond just cutting a hole in the roof.
Poor attic ventilation near a skylight opening often causes the condensation homeowners mistake for a leak.
Skylight Skylight Repair visits are usually quick, but we still check the full flashing system before quoting anything.
Technicians check flashing, seals, and surrounding decking as one connected system.
We explain the actual cause before quoting, so you're not paying for the wrong repair.
The repair is completed the same visit whenever possible, with a workmanship guarantee on the fix.
Thought we needed a whole new skylight, turned out to be a flashing fix that cost way less.
