Why is my skylight leaking?

Skylights usually leak because the flashing around them has failed, the seal between the glass and frame has worn out, or condensation is forming on the glass on cold days. Flashing leaks are fixed with a new flashing kit; worn-out or fogged units are replaced. If you're replacing your roof, it's the best time to replace an older skylight too.

How we install skylights

Underlayment

Ice and water protection around the opening.

Flashing kit

Step and head flashing made for the skylight.

Interior finish

Light shaft finished to match the room.

Skylight types

🌬️

Venting

☀️

Skylights and North Jersey winters

Snow piles up on the uphill side of skylights and melt water can back up under poorly flashed units. That's why we use flashing kits made for the skylight, ice and water shield around the opening, and why older skylights are often replaced during a roof replacement instead of being re-used.

Yes, including framing the opening and finishing the light shaft.

Are skylights energy efficient?

Yes, on cold days in humid homes. It's not always a leak.

Is the inspection free?
