Skylight Repair in Buford, GA

Skylights bring in natural light like nothing else — there's a reason people install them. But when they start leaking, fogging over, or dripping condensation, that appeal disappears quickly.

Common Skylight Problems

Leaking. The obvious one. Water during rain, pooling on frames, staining ceilings. Here's something worth knowing though — it might not be the skylight itself. Often the flashing around the unit is what's failing. That's actually good news because flashing costs less to fix.

Fogged glass. If you have double-pane skylights and there's cloudiness or trapped moisture between the layers, the seal has broken. Insulation value is gone and it looks terrible.

Cracked glass. Hail, branch impacts, simple age. Usually means replacement rather than repair.

Interior condensation. Sometimes what looks like a leak is actually condensation forming on the skylight's interior surface and dripping. That's typically a ventilation or insulation issue, not a skylight problem.

Repair or Replace?

Depends on the unit's age and what's actually failing:

Skylight under 15 years and water's getting in around it rather than through it? We can probably just redo the flashing and sealing. Much cheaper than replacement.

Skylight itself failing — compromised seals, damaged frame, old single-pane design? Replacement makes more financial sense. Modern skylights dramatically outperform what was installed 25 years ago.

Lots of homeowners replace skylights when they're getting a new roof anyway. Makes sense to handle everything at once rather than tear into new shingles later.
