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.
Every Skylight Repair technician carries current Howells, NE licensing and skylight-specific training.
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.
Moisture meters help confirm whether a Skylight Repair issue is active or residual.
Here's what falls under our Howells Skylight Repair service for skylights.
Cracked or corroded flashing around the skylight curb is the most common source of Howells 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.
We assess roof framing and pitch before recommending curb-mount or deck-mount installation.
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.
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.
The repair area is tested before we consider the Skylight Repair visit complete.
