A leaking skylight rarely means you need a new roof, and usually not even a new skylight. We find the real source, fix it, and only recommend replacement when the unit truly needs it.
From a single leaking skylight on a house to rows of them on a commercial roof.
We find why your skylight is leaking, failed flashing, dried-out seals or a cracked dome, and fix the real source instead of smearing caulking over it.
On concrete tile roofs the usual culprit is pan flashing beside the skylight blocked with debris, so water backs up under the tiles. We clear it, rebuild it and reseal.
Tile, torch-on, flat, metal or shingle, homes and commercial buildings. A clean in-and-out job: old unit out, new one flashed and sealed in, usually the same day.
Water dripping around a skylight during rain, brown staining on the ceiling near the opening, or water tracking down a nearby wall usually means the flashing or exterior seals have failed. That is a repair, and often a simple one.
Fogging or moisture between the two panes of glass is different: that is a failed seal inside the unit itself, not a roof leak. It will not damage your ceiling, but it will not clear up either, and the fix is replacing the unit. We will tell you honestly which one you have, because they are very different jobs with very different price tags.
A Port Moody homeowner called us about a leaking skylight on their tile roof. The skylight itself was fine: the pan flashing beside it was packed with debris, so rainwater backed up and found its way inside. We cleared and rebuilt the flashing and the leak was gone, no new skylight needed. Read the full case study with photos →

Most skylight leaks come from the flashing around the unit, either failed or blocked with debris, or from exterior seals that have dried out. The skylight itself is often fine.
Usually, yes. Flashing and seal repairs solve most leaks. We only recommend a new unit when the dome is cracked, the internal seal has failed, or the unit is at the end of its life.
All of them: concrete tile, torch-on and flat roofs, metal, asphalt shingle, and commercial buildings. Replacement is a clean in-and-out job, usually done the same day.
No. Fogging between the panes means the seal inside the unit has failed. It will not stain your ceiling, but the only fix is replacing the unit, and we will tell you straight if that is what you have.
