Skylight Leak Repair New Jersey

A skylight leak is one of the most common roof leak problems. Water may enter through damaged flashing, failed sealant, cracked glass, bad curb installation, roof deck damage, or shingles that are not properly tied into the skylight system.

Many homeowners think the skylight itself is leaking, but the real problem is often the roof flashing around the skylight. That is why our inspection includes the skylight frame, surrounding shingles, underlayment, flashing, roof slope, water flow, and interior leak signs.

Our goal is to stop the leak at the source instead of applying temporary caulk that fails during the next rain.

Skylight Flashing Repair

Flashing is the metal waterproofing system installed around the skylight to move water away from the roof opening. When flashing fails, water can enter under the shingles and around the skylight frame.

Signs of skylight flashing problems include:

• Water stains below the skylight
• Leaks during wind-driven rain
• Loose or lifted shingles around the skylight
• Cracked sealant near flashing
• Rust, gaps, or separation around metal flashing
• Water running down interior trim or drywall

ABC Contractor LLC repairs and replaces skylight flashing using proper roofing methods designed to protect the skylight opening from future water intrusion.

Skylight Replacement New Jersey

Sometimes repair is not the best option. If the skylight is old, cracked, fogged, rotted, or leaking repeatedly, full skylight replacement may be more cost-effective than repeated repairs.

Skylight replacement may be recommended when:

• The skylight is 15+ years old and leaking repeatedly
• The glass or acrylic dome is cracked
• Condensation is trapped between glass panes
• The frame or curb has rot or structural damage
• The skylight was poorly installed
• Previous repairs have failed multiple times
• You are replacing the roof and want new skylights installed correctly

Roof Repair Around Skylights

A skylight leak may also be caused by roof damage around the skylight, not the skylight itself. Missing shingles, worn underlayment, exposed nail holes, damaged roof decking, or poor water flow can allow water to reach the skylight opening.

ABC Contractor LLC can repair damaged shingles, replace underlayment, repair flashing, correct water flow, and repair roof sections around the skylight when needed.

Storm Damage Skylight Repair

Storms, hail, wind, and falling branches can damage skylights and surrounding roof areas. Even a small crack or shifted flashing can become a leak during the next heavy rain.

Our team inspects storm-damaged skylights, documents visible damage, repairs flashing and roof areas, and provides written estimates for repair or replacement.

Repair or Replace Your Skylight?

Repair is usually the right choice when the skylight is newer and the issue is limited to flashing, sealant, or a small roof area. Replacement is usually better when the skylight is old, cracked, fogged, rotted, or has recurring leaks.

ABC Contractor LLC gives honest recommendations based on the actual condition of the skylight and roof system.
