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.
Skylight Skylight Repair technicians carry manufacturer-specific training for common brands.
Local Exline dispatch means most Skylight Repair calls get scheduled within a few days.
You'll know exactly what's being fixed and why before we start.
Moisture meters help confirm whether a leak is active or residual before recommending a fix.
Here's what falls under our Exline Skylight Repair service for skylights.
Cracked or corroded flashing around the skylight curb is the most common source of Exline skylight leaks.
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.
When the skylight unit itself has failed — cracked glass, fogged double-pane seals — we replace it to current code.
Adding a skylight to a Exline 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.
We test the repair area before considering the Skylight Repair job complete.
They checked attic ventilation too, not just the skylight itself.
