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.
A proper Skylight Repair diagnosis takes a few extra minutes but saves you from paying for the wrong fix.
Insurance documentation available before work begins on any Chelsea property.
We stock common flashing and seal materials for same-visit Chelsea Skylight Repair repairs.
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 Chelsea Skylight Repair service for skylights.
We re-flash the full perimeter, not just the section that's visibly failing.
Degraded rubber seals let water in around the glass or dome even when flashing is intact.
Fogging or dripping isn't always a leak — condensation from poor ventilation can mimic leak symptoms.
When the skylight unit itself has failed — cracked glass, fogged double-pane seals — we replace it to current code.
Adding a skylight to a Chelsea 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.
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.
They checked attic ventilation too, not just the skylight itself.
