Skylight Repair, Replacement & Leak Repair
Leaking, fogged, cracked, or just old: we repair what can be repaired and replace what can't, often in a single day.
A skylight problem rarely fixes itself. A small leak stains drywall, fogged glass steals the view, and a 20-year-old unit loses efficiency every summer. We diagnose the actual cause, tell you straight whether repair or replacement is the smarter money, and put it right.
One of our reviews says it best: we found and fixed a leak the homeowner had been chasing that a professional roofer couldn't take care of. Skylights are all we do, and it shows in the diagnosis.
Repair: most leaks aren't the skylight's fault
Modern skylights do not leak when installed correctly with the proper flashing system. Most leaks trace back to improper installation, failed flashing, or aging roofing material around the unit. We inspect the flashing, the seals, and the surrounding roof before recommending anything.
We also offer skylight cleaning, maintenance, and restoration to keep existing units clear and performing, which can add years to a skylight that is fundamentally sound.
Replacement: the signs it's time
Leaks, water stains, foggy or cracked glass, drafts, and excessive heat gain are the classic signals. So is age: a skylight past 15–20 years is at the end of its design life even if it still looks fine from below.
Because most older units are curb mounted, a new VELUX curb mount skylight can usually go on the existing curb without re-flashing, which is why most replacements are finished in one day.
Re-roofing? Replace the skylights at the same time
If your roof is being replaced, that is the cheapest moment you will ever have to replace aging skylights. The roofing labor is already paid for, and new units flash into the new roof perfectly. We coordinate directly with your roofer to make it seamless.

Common questions
Can you replace an existing skylight?
Yes. We replace old, leaking, fogged, cracked, or outdated skylights and can often complete a replacement in a single day depending on the project scope.
How do I know if my skylight needs replacement?
Common signs include leaks, water stains, foggy glass, cracked glazing, drafts, excessive heat gain, or a skylight that is more than 15–20 years old.
Should I replace my skylight when replacing my roof?
In many cases, yes. Replacing aging skylights during a roof replacement can help avoid future labor costs and potential leaks.
How long does installation take?
Most sun tunnel installations and single skylight replacements are completed in one day. Larger projects, like multiple units or new openings in a finished ceiling, can take longer, and we tell you exactly what to expect in your quote.
Do you offer a warranty on installation?
Yes. Our VELUX skylight installations are backed by a 10-year installation warranty, on top of the manufacturer's product warranty on the unit itself.
Do you clean and maintain skylights?
Yes. We offer skylight cleaning, maintenance, and restoration to keep existing units clear and leak-free, and we can assess older skylights while we're on the roof.
