We also check attic ventilation near the skylight opening, since poor airflow often contributes to the condensation issues homeowners mistake for leaks.
Most skylight leaks trace back to the flashing around the curb, not the glass or dome itself — a detail general roofers sometimes miss.
We also check the surrounding shingles and decking while we're up there, since a skylight issue sometimes points to a broader roof concern.
Every Skylight Repair technician carries current Gordonsville, VA licensing and skylight-specific training.
Local Gordonsville dispatch means most Skylight Repair calls get scheduled within a few days.
You'll know exactly what's being fixed and why before we start.
Moisture meters help confirm whether a leak is active or residual before recommending a fix.
Here's what falls under our Gordonsville Skylight Repair service for skylights.
Cracked or corroded flashing around the skylight curb is the most common source of Gordonsville skylight leaks.
Degraded rubber seals let water in around the glass or dome even when flashing is intact.
We diagnose whether it's actually water intrusion or a ventilation issue before recommending a repair.
When the skylight unit itself has failed — cracked glass, fogged double-pane seals — we replace it to current code.
Adding a skylight to a Gordonsville home involves structural and flashing considerations beyond just cutting a hole in the roof.
Poor attic ventilation near a skylight opening often causes the condensation homeowners mistake for a leak.
Skylight Skylight Repair visits are usually quick, but we still check the full flashing system before quoting anything.
Technicians check flashing, seals, and surrounding decking as one connected system.
You receive a written estimate specifying whether the fix is flashing, seals, or unit replacement.
We test the repair area before considering the Skylight Repair job complete.
They checked attic ventilation too, not just the skylight itself.
