Skylight Repair in Chattanooga
A leaking skylight is usually a flashing problem, not a skylight problem. The seal between the skylight frame and the roofing material breaks down over time, and water finds its way in. We diagnose the actual source of the leak and repair it correctly.
Common skylight problems
Leaks from degraded or improperly installed flashing, condensation between panes on double-glazed units, cracked or fogged glass, and failed seals around the frame. We inspect the skylight from the roof side, identify where water is entering, and repair the specific failure point.
Repair vs. replacement
If the skylight itself is in good shape and the leak is a flashing issue, we can reflash and reseal without replacing the unit. If the glass is fogged or the frame is rotted, replacement makes more sense. We will show you what we find and recommend the option that actually solves the problem.

Common questions
Questions homeowners ask about skylight repair
Why is a skylight leaking?
A leaking skylight is usually a flashing problem. The seal between the frame and the roofing breaks down, and water gets in. We inspect from the roof side and repair the specific failure point.
Can a leaking skylight be repaired without replacing it?
If the skylight itself is in good shape and the leak is the flashing, we can reflash and reseal it without replacing the unit. If the glass is fogged or the frame is rotted, replacement makes more sense. We show you what we find before recommending either one.
What other skylight problems do you look at?
Condensation between the panes of a double-glazed unit, cracked or fogged glass, and failed seals around the frame, along with flashing that is worn or was installed wrong. A new opening is skylight installation, not a repair.
