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 Washington, VA licensing and skylight-specific training.
We stock common flashing and seal materials for same-visit Washington Skylight Repair repairs.
Flashing, seal, and replacement costs are quoted separately, not bundled together.
Moisture meters help confirm whether a leak is active or residual before recommending a fix.
Not sure if it's a leak or condensation? Describe what you're seeing when you call and we'll guide the diagnosis.
Cracked or corroded flashing around the skylight curb is the most common source of Washington 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.
Replacement units are properly flashed and sealed, not just dropped into the old opening.
Adding a skylight to a Washington home involves structural and flashing considerations beyond just cutting a hole in the roof.

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.
The repair area is tested before we consider the Skylight Repair visit complete.
