Skylights transform dark rooms into bright, welcoming spaces, until they start leaking.

Finding and Fixing Skylight Leaks
Skylight leaks are tricky because water rarely appears where it's actually entering. It can travel along the skylight frame, seep through compromised flashing, or follow roof decking before dripping into your home. That's why quick fixes often fail; the visible problem isn't always the real source.
Our team approaches skylight leak detection systematically. We examine the skylight itself for cracks, seal failures, or condensation issues that could be causing moisture problems. Then we thoroughly inspect the flashing, the metal components that seal the skylight to your roof, because improper flashing installation is one of the most common causes of skylight leaks. We check the surrounding roofing materials for damage or deterioration that could be allowing water penetration near the skylight. We also evaluate how water flows around the skylight during heavy rains, looking for pooling or drainage issues that put excessive stress on the seals.
Once we've identified the actual source of the leak, we make the necessary repairs using quality materials and proper installation techniques. This might mean replacing damaged flashing, resealing the skylight, repairing surrounding roofing materials, or, in some cases, replacing a skylight that's beyond effective repair. We want to give you a long-lasting fix that keeps your home dry through South Florida's heaviest storms.
What to Know About Skylight Installation
If you're considering adding skylights to your home, understanding the installation process helps you make informed decisions.
Our skylight installations involve:
- Strategic placement for optimal light and minimal heat gain. We help you choose skylight locations that maximize natural light while considering South Florida's intense sun and heat load on your home.
- Proper sizing for structural support and aesthetics. We evaluate your roof structure to determine appropriate skylight sizes that don't compromise integrity while achieving your lighting goals.
- Quality flashing installation that prevents leaks. We use manufacturer-approved flashing kits and installation methods that create watertight seals between the skylight and your roofing system.
- Integration with existing roofing materials. We carefully match installation techniques to your specific roof type so the skylight becomes a seamless part of your roof.
- Energy-efficient glazing options for Florida's climate. We recommend skylight models with low-E coatings and proper insulation ratings that bring in light without turning your rooms into ovens.
A properly installed skylight enhances your home with natural light for decades without creating the leak problems that plague poorly executed installations. That's what you get with two decades of roofing expertise.
