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.
A proper Skylight Repair diagnosis takes a few extra minutes but saves you from paying for the wrong fix.
Every Skylight Repair technician carries current Cardwell, MT licensing and skylight-specific training.
We carry common flashing and seal materials to handle most repairs in one visit.
Flashing, seal, and replacement costs are quoted separately, not bundled together.
We check curb flashing, step flashing, and counter-flashing as a full system, not in isolation.
Here's what falls under our Cardwell Skylight Repair service for skylights.
Cracked or corroded flashing around the skylight curb is the most common source of Cardwell 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 Cardwell home involves structural and flashing considerations beyond just cutting a hole in the roof.
We check airflow as part of a full Skylight Repair diagnosis, not just the flashing and seals.
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.
The repair area is tested before we consider the Skylight Repair visit complete.
Thought we needed a whole new skylight, turned out to be a flashing fix that cost way less.
