Skylight issues cover a specific range of leak and seal problems — here's our Skylight Repair scope.

Seal replacement is often a faster, cheaper fix than homeowners expect before calling.
Fogging or dripping isn't always a leak — condensation from poor ventilation can mimic leak symptoms.
When the skylight unit itself has failed — cracked glass, fogged double-pane seals — we replace it to current code.
