What skylight work covers

A hole in the roof, done properly

A skylight is a deliberate opening in an otherwise continuous roof, so everything depends on how the edges are handled. The curb it sits on, the flashing kit that ties it into the roofing, and the underlayment beneath all have to work together. Get those right and a skylight lasts as long as the roof. Get them wrong and it leaks from the day it goes in.

We install new skylights, replace old ones, and track down leaks around existing units on shingle, tile and flat roofs across greater Los Angeles.

Benefits

Why skylight detailing matters

Brings daylight into interior rooms and hallways
Reduces the need for electric light during the day
Adds ventilation where a venting unit is used
Correct flashing keeps water out at the one weak point
A rebuilt curb stops rot spreading into the deck
Modern glazing cuts heat gain compared with old domes
Condensation problems ease with a properly sealed unit
Avoids the staining and drywall damage a slow leak causes
Keeps the roof warranty intact on a new installation
Most efficiently done while the roof is already open for a reroof

How we install

Curb, flashing kit, then the roof tied back in

Most skylight leaks are not the glass. They come from sealant used in place of flashing, a curb that has gone soft, or a unit set straight onto the deck with roofing lapped over the edges. Caulk gets used to buy time, and it fails within a season or two.

We build or rebuild the curb in sound material, install the manufacturer flashing kit for that unit and that roof type, and weave the surrounding roofing back in so water is shed over the flashing rather than held against it.

Skylight work we do

New units, replacements and leak repairs

We handle the full range of skylight work on Southern California roofs:

New skylight installation on shingle, tile and flat roofs
Like-for-like replacement of failed or dated units
Dome and bubble skylight replacement
Skylight leak detection and flashing repair
Curb rebuilds where the framing has rotted
Permanent removal and roofing over an unwanted opening

If you are already replacing the roof, that is the moment to deal with the skylights. The flashing is being disturbed anyway, and doing both together costs less than coming back to it later.

Why choose Roof Replacement Inc

What sets our skylight work apart

Skylights fail at the junction between two trades, which is why they are so often patched rather than fixed. We treat the unit and the roof around it as one assembly: if the curb is rotten or the underlayment beneath is shot, we deal with that instead of sealing over it.

Finished skylights on an asphalt shingle roof

Flashing kits, not sealant — the manufacturer kit for that unit and that roof type.
Curbs rebuilt when needed — soft framing replaced before a new unit goes in.
All three roof types — shingle, tile and flat each get their proper detail.
Leaks traced to the source — we find where water actually enters, not where it shows.
Done with the reroof — the sensible time to replace a unit is while the roof is open.
Licensed and insured — CSLB #1063655, with photo-documented work.
Honest recommendations — repair the flashing, replace the unit, or close the opening.
Interior protected — the room below is covered before the roof is opened.

Answers

Skylight FAQs

Common questions about skylight leaks, replacement, cost and timing.

How do I get a free skylight estimate?

Call (213) 364-3979 to schedule a free inspection and a no-obligation written estimate with Roof Replacement Inc.

Why does my skylight leak?

Usually the flashing rather than the glass. Sealant used in place of a proper flashing kit, a curb that has rotted, or roofing lapped the wrong way around the unit will all let water in. We find the actual entry point before quoting a fix.

Can you repair a skylight or does it need replacing?

If the unit itself is sound and the problem is flashing or the curb, a repair is usually the right call. If the glazing is failed, fogged or cracked, or the frame has gone, replacement is the more sensible spend.

How long does a skylight last?

A modern unit installed with the correct flashing generally lasts in the range of a roof covering, and the seals rather than the frame tend to go first. Older acrylic domes yellow and craze well before that.

Should I replace skylights during a reroof?

If they are old, it is worth doing. The flashing has to be disturbed for the reroof either way, so replacing the unit at the same time avoids paying twice for the same work.

Can you remove a skylight and roof over the opening?

Yes. We frame and deck the opening, tie the underlayment and roofing back in, and finish the ceiling side if that is part of the job.

Ryland Bear

Researched for 2 years and chose because they had a Better Business Bureau A+ . That and they didn’t time pressure me at all, in fact , Adolpho graciously came back out when I asked if just coating it all over with Silicone would work . He explained everything without rushing or ever making me feel like I was taking up his time. As a single woman homeowner I appreciated that. He is a man of integrity and has gone above and beyond before during and now after the work has been done. I believe him when he says he’ll be there if there’s any other concerns . Highly recommend Adoloho and his team.

Corine Bohrer

We hired Roof Replacement for a complete roof replacement on our home,,, and they exceeded expectations. The local roofing companies we contacted couldn’t match their level of expertise and professionalism. The roofing services included a comprehensive assessment and a detailed plan for the replacement. The new roof is of high quality, and the roof replacement cost was very reasonable. The team was efficient and finished the project ahead of schedule. We highly recommend their services.
