Skylight Installation With Leak-Proof Flashing

Skylights bring in natural light, but a poorly flashed skylight is one of the most common sources of roof leaks. We install both new skylights and replacement units with manufacturer flashing kits and careful integration into the surrounding roofing.

  • New skylight installation on existing or new roofs
  • Skylight replacement for leaking or fogged units
  • Manufacturer flashing kits installed to specification
  • Venting and fixed skylight options
  • Interior trim coordination available
  • Leak-back guarantee on flashing workmanship

Types of Skylights We Install

We install fixed skylights for maximum light with no moving parts, venting skylights that open for airflow, and tubular skylights for smaller spaces like closets, hallways, and bathrooms where a full skylight well isn't practical.

Why Proper Flashing Matters

A skylight leak is almost never the glass — it's the flashing where the unit meets the roofing. We use manufacturer-specified step flashing and underlayment integration so the skylight becomes a sealed part of the roof system, not a patch on top of it.

Retrofit vs. New Construction Skylights

Replacing an old, leaking skylight is different work than installing one into a brand-new roof deck. We handle both, including matching a retrofit unit's dimensions to your existing roof opening to avoid unnecessary framing changes.

Frequently Asked Questions

My skylight is leaking — do I need a new roof or just a new skylight?

Usually just the skylight and its flashing. We'll inspect to confirm the surrounding roofing is in good shape before recommending a full skylight replacement.

Can you install a skylight into an existing roof without replacing the whole roof?

In most cases, yes, as long as the surrounding roofing is in reasonable condition.

Do venting skylights require electrical work?

Manual venting skylights don't. Electric or solar-powered venting models may require a licensed electrician for wiring, which we can help coordinate.
