When It’s Time to Replace Your Skylight

A failing skylight can cause stains, drafts, and recurring leaks—often around the skylight frame or flashing areas.

Common signs you may need skylight replacement:

  • image
    Water stains on ceilings around the skylight
  • image
    Dripping during rain or wind-driven storms
  • image
    Fogging/condensation between skylight panes
  • image
    Cracked, brittle, or damaged skylight dome/frame
  • image
    Drafts or noticeable heat loss near the skylight

Not sure if it’s the skylight or the roof around it? We’ll inspect and confirm the most practical fix.
