Roof Repair Smedway's Skylight Repair service covers flashing repair, reseals, and unit replacement across Glencoe, whatever the skylight actually needs.
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 Glencoe, IL licensing and skylight-specific training.
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.
Moisture meters help confirm whether a leak is active or residual before recommending a fix.
Here's what falls under our Glencoe Skylight Repair service for skylights.
Cracked or corroded flashing around the skylight curb is the most common source of Glencoe skylight leaks.
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 Glencoe home involves structural and flashing considerations beyond just cutting a hole in the roof.
