Roof Skylight Repair

Stop Leaks, Drafts, and Cracks Before They Get Worse

A skylight adds natural light and style to any space—but when it starts leaking, fogging up, or breaking down, it can quickly become a major issue. At Dallas Roof Repair Co., we help homeowners find trusted local contractors who specialize in skylight repairs, ensuring your home stays bright, dry, and energy-efficient.

Whether you’re dealing with condensation, damaged flashing, cracked glass, or roof leaks around your skylight, timely repair is essential to prevent further interior or structural damage.

Common Skylight Problems We Help With

Skylights are a vulnerable part of your roofing system. They sit flush with your roofline and face years of direct sun, rain, and temperature changes. Over time, issues can develop around or within the skylight unit, causing frustration and hidden damage.

Frequent skylight issues include:

  • Leaks Around the Edges
    Improper flashing or deteriorated seals can allow water in during rainstorms.
  • Cracked or Broken Glass
    Storms, falling limbs, or thermal shock (from rapid temperature changes) can crack skylight glass.
  • Condensation Between Panes
    Double- or triple-pane skylights may fog up due to seal failure, allowing moisture between glass layers.
  • Drafts or Heat Loss
    Old or poorly sealed skylights can become energy sinks, letting air in or out and raising utility bills.
  • Rusting or Corroded Flashing
    Metal flashing around the skylight may degrade over time, allowing leaks or creating weak spots in the roof.
  • Poor Installation or Settling
    Improper slope, loose fasteners, or structural shifting can cause long-term skylight performance problems.

Why It’s Important to Repair a Damaged Skylight Promptly

A damaged or leaky skylight is more than just an eyesore—it’s a structural risk. Left untreated, minor leaks can:

  • Rot roof decking or attic joists
  • Stain ceilings and drywall
  • Invite mold and mildew growth
  • Compromise insulation
  • Short-circuit lighting or electrical fixtures
  • Undermine your home’s energy efficiency

Most skylight issues are fixable without needing a full replacement, especially if you act early.

Types of Skylights We Help Repair

We help connect you with contractors experienced in working with all major skylight styles, including:

1. Fixed Skylights

These do not open and are often found in hallways, kitchens, or stairwells. Repairs typically involve resealing, flashing replacement, or glass panel fixes.

2. Venting Skylights (Manual or Electric)

These open to allow airflow. Common repairs include motor servicing, handle or crank repair, leak prevention, and weatherstripping replacement.

3. Tubular Skylights (Sun Tunnels)

These use a reflective tube to deliver sunlight to interior rooms. Repairs may involve lens replacement, sealing roof domes, or replacing damaged tubes.

Skylight Repair vs. Replacement: Which Do You Need?

Not all skylight problems require full replacement. In fact, many issues can be resolved with localized repairs that cost significantly less and take less time. Here’s a breakdown of when repair may be the best option:

Repair May Be Sufficient If:

  • The glass is intact but there are leaks around the edge
  • Flashing is rusted or cracked but skylight unit is solid
  • Condensation is minimal and does not obscure view
  • The skylight is less than 10–15 years old
  • The problem is isolated to caulking, sealant, or fasteners

Replacement May Be Needed If:

  • Glass is shattered or warped
  • The skylight frame is badly corroded or cracked
  • There’s extensive fogging between panes
  • The skylight is outdated and no longer energy efficient
  • It has become detached from the roof or poses safety risks

A local expert can inspect your skylight and let you know if a simple repair will do the job—or if full replacement is more cost-effective long-term.

How Skylight Repairs Are Performed

Every skylight issue is different, but here’s how a typical repair might unfold:

  1. Inspection
    An experienced roofer examines the skylight from inside and outside the home, checking seals, flashing, and the surrounding roof.
  2. Leak Testing (if needed)
    If the source of a leak isn’t obvious, water may be sprayed to trace how moisture enters the home.
  3. Sealing or Resealing
    Worn or failed sealants around the skylight may be stripped and replaced with durable new caulking or roofing tar.
  4. Flashing Repair or Replacement
    Metal flashing is a common culprit for skylight leaks. Contractors may install new flashing around the unit to restore a watertight barrier.
  5. Glass Panel Repair
    Cracked or damaged skylight panes can often be replaced individually without removing the full unit.
  6. Interior Touch-Ups
    After a roof repair, contractors may also assist with interior repairs like repainting stained ceilings or replacing trim.
  7. Final Testing
    Professionals will ensure the repaired skylight is completely sealed, fully functional, and protected from future damage.
