We also check attic ventilation near the skylight opening, since poor airflow often contributes to the condensation issues homeowners mistake for leaks.
We stock common skylight brands' replacement seals and hardware, keeping most Skylight Repair repairs to a single visit.
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 Chemung property.
We carry common flashing and seal materials to handle most repairs in one visit.
Written Skylight Repair estimates before any repair, covering flashing, seals, or replacement separately.
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 Chemung 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.
When the skylight unit itself has failed — cracked glass, fogged double-pane seals — we replace it to current code.
Adding a skylight to a Chemung 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.
Skylight Skylight Repair visits are usually quick, but we still check the full flashing system before quoting anything.
A technician inspects the flashing, seals, and surrounding roof deck around your Chemung skylight.
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.
