A leaking skylight is almost always a flashing or seal problem, not a bad skylight itself — our Skylight Repair crews diagnose it correctly before touching anything.
Most skylight leaks trace back to the flashing around the curb, not the glass or dome itself — a detail general roofers sometimes miss.
We also check the surrounding shingles and decking while we're up there, since a skylight issue sometimes points to a broader roof concern.
Insurance documentation available before work begins on any Earling property.
We carry common flashing and seal materials to handle most repairs in one visit.
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.
Here's what falls under our Earling Skylight Repair service for skylights.
Cracked or corroded flashing around the skylight curb is the most common source of Earling skylight leaks.
Degraded rubber seals let water in around the glass or dome even when flashing is intact.
We diagnose whether it's actually water intrusion or a ventilation issue before recommending a repair.
Replacement units are properly flashed and sealed, not just dropped into the old opening.
Adding a skylight to a Earling home involves structural and flashing considerations beyond just cutting a hole in the roof.
Poor attic ventilation near a skylight opening often causes the condensation homeowners mistake for a leak.
Skylight Skylight Repair visits are usually quick, but we still check the full flashing system before quoting anything.
We check the full flashing system, not just the section that looks obviously damaged.
You receive a written estimate specifying whether the fix is flashing, seals, or unit replacement.
We test the repair area before considering the Skylight Repair job complete.
Thought we needed a whole new skylight, turned out to be a flashing fix that cost way less.
