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.
Insurance documentation available before work begins on any Cornelius property.
Local Cornelius 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 Cornelius Skylight Repair service for skylights.
Cracked or corroded flashing around the skylight curb is the most common source of Cornelius 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.
When the skylight unit itself has failed — cracked glass, fogged double-pane seals — we replace it to current code.
Adding a skylight to a Cornelius 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.
Tell us what you're seeing — dripping, fogging, or visible flashing damage — and we'll schedule accordingly.
We check the full flashing system, not just the section that looks obviously damaged.
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.
