Persistent Skylight Leaks

In addition, water stains around the frame or drips during rain usually signal failed flashing, cracked sealant, or a broken pane.

Foggy or Cracked Glass

As a result, condensation between panes points to a blown seal; visible cracks let in cold air, UV damage, and eventually water.

Aging or Discolored Dome

For example, acrylic and polycarbonate skylights yellow after 10 to 15 years and lose meaningful insulation performance.

Adding Daylight to a Dark Room

In fact, a new cut-in brings natural light into stairwells, kitchens, and bathrooms without cutting a full window opening.

Full Leak Diagnosis

Similarly, we inspect flashing, curb, glazing, and interior framing — then quote the real fix, not a temporary patch.

Flashing and Sealant Replacement

Because of this, ice-and-water shield, step and counter flashing, and roofing-grade sealant applied to manufacturer specification.

Glass or Full-Unit Swap

What’s more, we source Velux, Fakro, and Wasco replacement units in fixed, manual-vented, and solar-vented models.

New Skylight Installation

In particular, cut-in, framing, curb build, exterior membrane, and interior drywall return — one crew from ceiling to shingle.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a skylight repair take in Pittsburgh?
Most flashing and sealant repairs finish in a single day, including cleanup. In particular, full glass or unit replacements typically take one day on-site, weather permitting, and complex cut-ins may run two days when interior drywall work is involved.
Are you licensed and insured to work on Pittsburgh roofs?
Yes. In addition, roof Repair Pittsburgh carries active roofing licensing plus general liability and workers' compensation coverage. As a result, we provide a certificate of insurance before any work begins and can send it directly to your HOA or property manager on request.
What skylight brands do you install?
We install and service Velux, Fakro, and Wasco skylights in fixed, manual-vented, and solar-vented configurations. For example, we can also match older or discontinued units when replacement inventory still exists in the aftermarket.
Can you repair a leaking skylight without replacing it?
Often, yes. In fact, if the glass and frame are structurally sound, we replace the flashing, ice-and-water shield, and sealant. Similarly, if the seal has failed between panes or the frame is damaged, the unit itself needs replacement — we tell you which category yours falls into before quoting.
Do you install skylights on flat and low-slope roofs?
Yes. Because of this, flat and low-slope installs use a curb-mounted unit with specific membrane detailing to prevent ponding. What’s more, we build the curb, integrate it with your existing roof system, flash it correctly, and finish the interior return.

More Questions Homeowners Ask

How much does a skylight replacement cost in Pittsburgh?
Price depends on the unit chosen, roof pitch, attic access, and any interior finish work required. In particular, we send a written itemized estimate after inspection so the number you approve is the number you pay — no surprise add-ons after we start.
What happens if it rains after you cut the roof open?
We only cut on days with a clear weather window and always dry-in the opening with membrane before leaving the site. In addition, if unexpected weather rolls in mid-job, we tarp the opening securely and return on the next dry day at no extra charge.
Do skylights leak in Pittsburgh winters?
Poorly installed or aging skylights can leak during freeze-thaw cycles from ice damming around the curb. As a result, ice-and-water shield extending well past the frame, correctly installed step flashing, and modern insulated glass prevent almost all cold-weather leaks.
Will installing a skylight void my existing roof warranty?
It depends on your shingle manufacturer's terms and whether the installer follows those specifications. For example, we install to Velux, Fakro, and manufacturer requirements so shingle and skylight warranties stay intact wherever possible, and we document the install for your records.
