Skylight leaks make up a disproportionate share of leak calls across North Alabama — partly because they're harder to seal than a flat roof plane, and partly because most skylights installed before 2010 have aged-out flashing kits.
Symptoms to Look For
- Water dripping from the skylight frame
- Stain on the ceiling around the skylight
- Condensation between skylight panes (different problem)
- Visible gap between glass and frame
Common Causes in North Alabama
- Failed flashing kit (most common)
- Cracked or aged exterior seals
- Hail-damaged skylight dome
- Skylight installed without proper saddle/cricket
Dangers of Ignoring This
- Rapid drywall damage around the opening
- Mold in the surrounding framing
- Eventual skylight unit failure
Why You Should Act Now
Across North Alabama, this problem rarely resolves itself — every rain, hailstorm, or windy afternoon makes the damage worse. Most homeowners who wait end up paying 2–4x more in interior repair, decking replacement, and mold remediation than if the roof was addressed in the first 30 days.
Our Repair Solution
Our local crews diagnose the actual source — not just the visible symptom — then deliver a documented, warrantied repair. We use manufacturer-approved materials engineered for the Tennessee Valley's heat, humidity, and severe-storm cycles, and every job includes photo documentation you can keep.
Insurance Guidance
If the damage is tied to a covered storm event in your Alabama policy, we help document the loss, file the claim alongside you, and meet your adjuster on the roof so the scope reflects every real impact — not a low-ball estimate.
Frequently Asked Questions
Should I just remove the skylight?+
Often the better call on 25+ year-old units. We can roof over it cleanly during a re-roof.
Can you re-flash the skylight without replacing it?+
Yes, if the skylight itself is sound and not too old.
