A leaking skylight is almost always a flashing or seal problem, not a bad skylight itself — our Skylight Repair crews diagnose it correctly before touching anything.
Most skylight leaks trace back to the flashing around the curb, not the glass or dome itself — a detail general roofers sometimes miss.
We also check the surrounding shingles and decking while we're up there, since a skylight issue sometimes points to a broader roof concern.
Insurance documentation available before work begins on any Palenville property.
Local Palenville dispatch means most Skylight Repair calls get scheduled within a few days.
Written Skylight Repair estimates before any repair, covering flashing, seals, or replacement separately.
Moisture meters help confirm whether a leak is active or residual before recommending a fix.
Not sure if it's a leak or condensation? Describe what you're seeing when you call and we'll guide the diagnosis.
We re-flash the full perimeter, not just the section that's visibly failing.
Degraded rubber seals let water in around the glass or dome even when flashing is intact.
Fogging or dripping isn't always a leak — condensation from poor ventilation can mimic leak symptoms.
Replacement units are properly flashed and sealed, not just dropped into the old opening.
Adding a skylight to a Palenville home involves structural and flashing considerations beyond just cutting a hole in the roof.
We check airflow as part of a full Skylight Repair diagnosis, not just the flashing and seals.
Tell us what you're seeing — dripping, fogging, or visible flashing damage — and we'll schedule accordingly.
We check the full flashing system, not just the section that looks obviously damaged.
We explain the actual cause of the issue before quoting any Skylight Repair repair.
The repair area is tested before we consider the Skylight Repair visit complete.
