Services / Skylights

Skylight repair in Tucson that ends the leak for good.

The dome, the curb, and the roof around them are one system. We repair all three together, which is why the leak does not come back.

Why They Fail / 01

Skylights are the best feature of a flat roof, and the first leak.

Skylight repair calls are half our phone traffic in Tucson for a simple reason: the desert sun destroys acrylic. After years of UV, the dome clouds and cracks, the flashing separates from the curb, and monsoon water finds its way into the house.

We have been repairing and replacing skylights for more than a decade. When we assess yours, we look at the dome, the curb, the flashing, and the roof surface around it, because patching one while the others fail is how you end up paying twice.

How We Fix It / 02

Sealed into the roof, not just caulked over.

The finished skylight gets sealed into the surrounding roof coating so the whole assembly sheds water as one surface. That is the difference between a repair that lasts and a bead of caulk that opens up next summer.

We also install new skylights on flat and low slope roofs. Done right, they bring real daylight into the middle of the house and cut down on daytime lighting, without adding a leak path.

Questions / 03

Skylight Repair questions we hear a lot.

01Can you replace just the skylight dome?

Often, yes. If the curb and flashing are still sound, a new dome solves the problem for a fraction of a full replacement. If the flashing has separated or the curb is soft, replacing only the dome just moves the leak, so we tell you that up front.

02How do I know if the leak is the skylight or the roof?

From the ceiling stain, you usually cannot tell. Water travels along framing before it shows up, so a drip under a skylight can start ten feet away. We water test to isolate the actual entry point before anything gets repaired, which is why our skylight fixes stay fixed.

03Will a new skylight make my house hotter?

A modern dome usually does the opposite of what people fear. Old clear acrylic yellows and lets heat pour in. New white and bronze domes diffuse the light, cut the glare, and reduce heat gain while keeping the daylight. Most clients notice the room feels better, not worse.
