Skylight leaking every rain? The flashing — not the glass — is usually the culprit.
Roofing Professional • Insured Team
Skylights are wonderful until they leak, and they leak more often than almost any other roof feature. The good news: in most cases the skylight itself is fine. The failure is in the curb flashing, the underlayment integration, or the seal between the unit and the roof. Roof Leak Repair Solutions repairs leaking skylights across Hollister, CA without automatically selling you a new unit.
We start by determining whether the skylight is actually leaking or just condensing. Winter condensation on the interior — especially in humid homes — looks exactly like a leak but needs a ventilation fix, not a roofing fix. Honest diagnosis saves you from paying for the wrong repair.
When You Need Skylight Leak Repair
- Water dripping from or around a skylight during rain
- Stains on the drywall shaft or ceiling around the skylight
- Fogging or moisture between the skylight's glass panes
- Visible gaps, cracked sealant, or rusted flashing at the curb
- Drips that appear only in wind-driven rain (flashing failure pattern)
What Our Skylight Leak Repair Visit Includes
- Diagnose: We determine leak vs. condensation and inspect the curb flashing, seals, and the unit itself.
- Expose: Shingles around the skylight are lifted to reveal the full flashing detail.
- Rebuild: Failed flashing is replaced; underlayment is renewed and properly integrated.
- Reseal or replace: The unit is resealed to the curb — or replaced if the skylight itself has failed.
- Test: We verify with water testing where possible and document the repair.

Skylight Leak Repair FAQs
Most leaking skylights need flashing repair, not replacement. We recommend a new unit only when the glass is fogged, the frame is cracked, or the seals have failed beyond resealing.
If it happens during rain, it's a leak. If it happens on cold clear mornings with no rain, it's likely condensation — a humidity and ventilation issue. We check both.
Yes. We lift and relay the surrounding shingles or tile, replacing any damaged pieces with matching material.
Good question — we get it constantly. True leaks follow rain; condensation follows cold nights and shows as even moisture or frost on the frame. We diagnose it properly before selling you any repair, because the fixes are completely different.
If the frame and glazing are sound, a curb-flashing rebuild and fresh seals solve it. If the unit is fogged between panes or the frame is failing, replacement is the honest answer — resealing a dead unit wastes your money.
We protect the room below with sheeting and work carefully at the curb. Minor shaft drywall touch-up is sometimes needed where water already damaged it, and we tell you upfront.
