We also check attic ventilation near the skylight opening, since poor airflow often contributes to the condensation issues homeowners mistake for leaks.
Most skylight leaks trace back to the flashing around the curb, not the glass or dome itself — a detail general roofers sometimes miss.
A proper Skylight Repair diagnosis takes a few extra minutes but saves you from paying for the wrong fix.
Insurance documentation available before work begins on any Shelter Island property.
Local Shelter Island 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.
We check curb flashing, step flashing, and counter-flashing as a full system, not in isolation.
Skylight issues cover a specific range of leak and seal problems — here's our Skylight Repair scope.
Cracked or corroded flashing around the skylight curb is the most common source of Shelter Island 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.
Replacement units are properly flashed and sealed, not just dropped into the old opening.
Adding a skylight to a Shelter Island 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.
Technicians check flashing, seals, and surrounding decking as one connected system.
We explain the actual cause before quoting, so you're not paying for the wrong repair.
We test the repair area before considering the Skylight Repair job complete.
Diagnosed condensation versus an actual leak correctly, saved us an unnecessary repair.
