Skylight leaks · Reflashing · Cracked domes · Replacement
Most skylights that leak have good glass. The water usually gets in at the flashing around the curb, where the skylight meets the shingles. We find the actual entry point, fix that, and show you photographs of before and after.
Skylight reflashing from $495, a standard curb-mounted acrylic skylight replaced for $1,100, and a free inspection that tells you whether you need either one. Every repair carries a 24-month warranty.
Dripping on a cool, dry morning? That is often condensation, not a roof leak. We check for it first, because a new skylight will not fix it.
Published, not quoted on request
Repair, replacement and insurance work each have their own price and their own process. Prices include labor and materials on a walkable single-story roof.
from $495
Most skylight leaks are flashing, not glass. We remove the shingles around the curb, replace the step flashing and head and sill flashing, add leak barrier and reshingle. Rotten decking around the curb is $150 per area.
Roof repair in Houston →$1,100
A standard-size curb-mounted acrylic skylight, replaced with new flashing. Larger units, VELUX glass skylights and new openings are quoted after we measure. If you would rather not have the skylight at all, we can close the opening and shingle over it.
Self-flashing, curb or VELUX →We document, you file
Hail cracks acrylic domes and dents the metal frame. If the storm damaged the roof too, the skylight belongs on the same claim. We photograph it, write an itemized scope and meet your adjuster on the roof.
How Texas claims work →Included in the quote
Old skylight flashing should not be reused under new shingles. On a replacement we install new flashing at every skylight, or replace an aging dome at the same time while the roof is open.
Four packages, priced →Free with inspection
A stain on the ceiling is rarely right below the leak. We trace the water with moisture readings and thermal imaging before anything is opened up.
How we find leaks →2–4 hours
A limb through a skylight or a dome blown out in a storm: we cover the opening the same day, 365 days a year, and repair it once the roof is dry.
Emergency response →Starting points, not quotes. Pitch, height, skylight size and what is under the shingles move the number. We inspect free, show you photographs, and put the real figure in writing first. Nothing upfront.
Know what is on your roof
Most skylights in Houston are one of two kinds, and they leak for different reasons. The difference is how the skylight meets the roof, and it decides whether we repair it, re-flash it or replace it.
Type 1
Type 2
| Self-flashing | Curb-mounted | VELUX deck-mounted | |
|---|---|---|---|
| How it meets the roof | Built-in flange on the deck, sealed with cement | On a wood curb, step-flashed up the sides | Low profile on the deck, with a VELUX deck seal and flashing kit |
| Where it leaks | Under the flange, once the cement dries out | Worn flashing or a rotted curb | Rarely, when installed with VELUX flashing |
| Where it fits | Budget units; we usually replace rather than reseal | Replacing an existing curb unit, low-slope roofs | New skylights and full replacements on pitched roofs |
| Our price | Replaced with a flashed unit, quoted on site | Acrylic, standard size: $1,100 · reflash from $495 | Quoted by model and size |
We install VELUX skylights
We install VELUX deck-mounted and curb-mounted skylights. When a VELUX skylight is installed with VELUX flashing, it has three layers of water protection — a seal or gasket against the deck or curb, adhesive underlayment, and engineered flashing — and VELUX covers the installation as well as the product.
VELUX No Leak Promise terms; VELUX flashing is required to qualify. See veluxusa.com for full warranty details.
Where the water actually comes from
Each one has a different fix, so we work out which it is before we quote anything.
01
The most common cause. Step flashing, head flashing and sealant fail before the skylight does, and wind-driven rain finds the gap. Caulking over it buys a few months. The fix is new flashing under the shingles.
02
Houston sun turns acrylic yellow and brittle, and hail cracks it. Once the dome is cracked or the seal between panes has failed, repair stops making sense, and replacement with new flashing is the lasting answer.
03
Warm, humid air from a bathroom or kitchen meets the cooler glass and drips. If it drips on dry mornings, the roof is probably fine. A bath fan or better attic ventilation solves it, and we will tell you so rather than sell you a skylight.
Reflashing from $495, with a 24-month warranty.
Standard curb-mounted acrylic skylight $1,100, new flashing included.

Common questions
Reflashing a skylight starts at $495: new step, head and sill flashing, leak barrier and shingles around the curb. If the decking around the curb has rotted, that is $150 per area. Prices assume a walkable single-story roof; steeper or taller roofs cost more, and you get the exact figure in writing before work starts.
A standard-size curb-mounted acrylic skylight is $1,100 replaced, with new flashing. Larger units, glass skylights and new openings are quoted after we measure. If you are replacing the roof, it is cheaper to replace an aging skylight at the same time, while the shingles around it are already off.
A self-flashing skylight has a flat flange built into the frame. It sits on the roof deck, the flange is sealed with roofing cement and the shingles lap over it, so it leaks once that cement dries out. A curb-mounted skylight sits on a wood curb 4 to 6 inches tall, with metal step flashing running up the curb under the shingles, so water has to climb to get in. Curb-mounted units also work on low-slope roofs and can usually be replaced on the same curb.
Yes. We install VELUX deck-mounted and curb-mounted skylights: fixed, manual venting, and solar-powered or electric “Fresh Air” models. Installed with VELUX flashing, they carry the VELUX No Leak Promise: 10 years on installation, 10 years on the product, 20 years on the glass and 5 years on blinds and controls. VELUX skylights are quoted by model and size after we measure.
If the dome is clear and solid and the leak is at the edges, repair the flashing. If the acrylic is cracked, crazed or yellowed, there is fog between the panes, or the frame is soft, replace it. We photograph the skylight and show you which one it is before you decide.
Often, when the hail that cracked the skylight also damaged the roof. The skylight should be on the same claim. We photograph the dome, the frame and the roof, write an itemized scope and meet your adjuster on the roof. We do not file, negotiate or settle the claim — in Texas that is licensed public-adjuster work.
That is usually condensation. Humid indoor air hits the cooler glass, especially on winter mornings and above bathrooms. A bath fan, a dehumidifier or better attic ventilation is the fix. A roof repair will not help, and we will tell you that at the inspection.
Yes. We remove the skylight, frame the opening, deck it, and shingle it to match. The ceiling patch inside the house is a separate drywall job, and we will tell you upfront what is and is not included.
Yes. Every repair carries a 24-month warranty. If the problem returns, so will we.
2 to 4 hours, 365 days a year, with no out-of-hours surcharge. The Tomball office answers 24 hours at (713) 766-3464. We cover the opening first and make the permanent repair once the roof is dry.
We trace the leak, photograph the skylight and the flashing, and tell you whether it is a repair, a replacement or condensation. Including when the finding is that nothing needs doing.
