Why does my skylight leak only in heavy rain?

Wind-driven rain pushes water past worn step flashing, a failed gasket or shingles that were not woven correctly around the curb. A light shower may not reach those gaps, which is why the drip shows up only in storms.

Is it a leak or condensation?

Condensation forms on the inside of the glass on cold days, usually without rain, and runs down the frame. A leak appears during or after rain or snowmelt and often stains the shaft drywall above the frame. We check both before recommending any work.

Should I replace my skylight when I replace my roof?

If the skylight is more than about 15 to 20 years old, fogged between the panes or already leaking, replacing it during the roof replacement is usually the better value, because the flashing and shingles around it are being redone anyway.

Skylight Installation & Repair in New Jersey

A skylight brings daylight deep into a room, but it is also an opening in your roof, and the way it is flashed decides whether it stays dry. BlueSky Roof Repair and Replacement installs new skylights, replaces old or fogged units and repairs leaking skylights for homes across New Jersey and Connecticut. We treat every skylight as part of the roofing system, so the flashing, underlayment and shingles around it are done to the same standard as the rest of the roof.

Complete Skylight Services in New Jersey

Most skylight problems start at the seal or the flashing rather than the glass. We look at the whole opening and choose the repair or replacement that actually stops the water.

Skylight Installation

New and replacement skylights installed with a matching flashing kit, ice and water shield and shingles woven around the curb, so the opening sheds water like the rest of the roof.

Skylight Leak Repair

We find where water is getting in, whether a failed seal, cracked glazing, loose flashing or worn shingles above the unit, and fix that point instead of covering it with sealant.

Reflashing & Curb Repair

When the flashing has failed, we remove the shingles around the skylight, repair any rotted curb or decking and install new step, head and sill flashing.

Fast, Accurate, and Built to Last

Our Skylight Repair Process

Inspection Inside & Out

We check the skylight from the room or attic below and from the roof: the glazing, the seal, the curb, the flashing and the shingles directly above the unit, where most leaks start.

Repair or Replace

We explain what we found and whether resealing, reflashing or a new unit makes sense, then do the work with flashing and underlayment matched to the skylight and the roof.

Final Check & Clean-Up

After the work we check that water sheds correctly around the frame and clean up the work area, inside and out.

Expert Skylight Installation in New Jersey

A well-installed skylight can last for decades; a poorly flashed one can start leaking within a few seasons. Our crews install deck-mounted and curb-mounted skylights on asphalt shingle roofs, replace aging units during a roof replacement, and correct skylights that were installed without the right flashing kit. We frame the opening to the rafters, add ice and water shield around the curb and weave the step flashing into the shingles, so water is carried around the skylight instead of into it.

Stop Skylight Leaks Before They Spread

Water from a leaking skylight rarely stays at the skylight. It runs down the drywall of the light shaft, soaks the insulation around the curb and can rot the framing and roof deck before a stain ever shows on the ceiling. Condensation can look like a leak too, so we check for both before recommending any work. Fixing the real cause early keeps a small flashing repair from turning into ceiling, drywall and decking repairs.

Professional Skylight Repair in New Jersey

If your skylight drips during heavy rain, shows water stains on the shaft or has fogged glass between the panes, it needs attention. We repair what can be repaired and recommend replacement only when the unit itself has failed, so you are not paying for a new skylight when new flashing would do.

Repair Now – Save Now!

A skylight leak that starts as a few drops in a storm can soak the shaft, ceiling and insulation in a single season. Call us for an inspection and we will tell you plainly whether it needs resealing, reflashing or a new unit.
