Skylight Repair & Replacement Services in Garfield, NJ | Leak & Draft Solutions Experts

Skylights enhance natural light and ventilation, but because they’re installed directly into your roof, they’re vulnerable to the same weather conditions and wear and tear as your roofing system. Over time, improper installation, worn materials, and exposure to the elements can cause a variety of problems.

At Royal Roofing and Exteriors, we diagnose and fix all types of skylight issues. Here are some of the most common problems we resolve:

Skylight Leaks

One of the most frequent issues is that leaks typically occur when the seals around the skylight break down or the flashing is poorly installed. If you notice water dripping from the skylight, staining on the ceiling, or puddles forming after rain, it’s likely your skylight is compromised. We locate the source and apply watertight repairs to prevent ongoing moisture damage.

Cracked or Broken Glass

Impact from hail, falling branches, or accidental damage can crack or shatter the glass or acrylic dome of your skylight. Broken glass not only allows water in but also poses a safety risk. We assess whether glass replacement is enough or if a full skylight unit needs to be swapped out for a safer, better-sealed option.

Condensation or Fogging

If you see cloudy or foggy glass, it’s often caused by a failed seal in a double-pane skylight. This allows moisture to get trapped between the panes, reducing energy efficiency and visibility. We offer replacement glass or full unit replacements to restore clarity and insulation.

Flashing Issues

Flashing is the metal barrier that seals the edges of the skylight where it meets the roof. When flashing becomes loose, corroded, or poorly installed, it leaves gaps for water to seep in. We remove damaged flashing and install new, sealed metal flashing to ensure a durable, leak-free fit.

Loose or Rattling Frames

If your skylight shakes during high winds or produces a rattling noise, the frame or fasteners may have become loose or damaged. This not only affects energy performance but can also lead to long-term structural issues. Our team will realign and reinforce the skylight for better stability and weather resistance.
