All Around Texas Roofing repairs and replaces skylights across Frisco, McKinney, Prosper, Celina, Anna, Melissa, Aubrey and the surrounding Collin and Denton County communities. Cracked glazing, failed seals, leaking flashing, and the ceiling stain that appeared three weeks after a storm nobody connected it to.
A skylight is not a window in a wall. It is a hole in your roof with a unit sitting in it, which is why this is roofing work rather than glazing work.

Skylights are among the most commonly omitted items on a North Texas hail claim, and there are two reasons.
The first is timing. A hailstorm compromises a seal or damages the flashing and nothing visible happens. The next few rain events come straight down and the roof sheds them normally. Weeks later a storm drives rain at an angle, water is pushed up under a lapped edge that is no longer sound, and a stain appears on the ceiling. By then the roof claim may already be settled.
The second is access. Skylights are elevated, awkward to inspect properly, and easy to look at from a distance and call fine.
So we photograph every skylight during a storm inspection, recording the condition of glazing, seal, flashing and surround, so that if a leak surfaces in six weeks there is a dated record of what that unit looked like the day after the event. See insurance claim assistance.
not from a distance, including the flashing junction.
Glazing, seal, flashing or curb are four different jobs.
because a stain on the ceiling tells you where the water arrived, not where it entered.

with the curb condition stated.
reinstating the roof around the unit properly.
If you take one thing from this page, take this, because it saves real money and almost nobody is told it in time.
To replace a unit properly, the flashing has to come off and go back on, which means disturbing the shingles around it. So replacing a skylight on its own is a roofing job with a skylight in the middle of it. Replacing one during a roof replacement is a few extra minutes while the roof is already open.
The practical rule: if your roof is being replaced and your skylights are more than about fifteen years old, or showing any symptom above, replace them at the same time. Otherwise you will very likely pay somebody to open up a brand new roof within a few years, and a penetration disturbed after the fact is never quite as good as one installed as part of the original system.
Repair when the glazing is intact and the problem is the flashing or the surround. Re flashing a sound skylight into the roof properly fixes most skylight leaks.
Replace when the glazing is cracked, when the seal has failed and the unit is fogged, when the frame or curb has moved, when parts and matching glass are no longer available, or when you are having recurring leaks that have already been chased more than once.
One honest note on sealant. If somebody previously fixed your skylight leak with a tube of sealant over the flashing, that was a temporary measure whether or not it was described as one. Sealant is not a flashing system, it degrades under UV, and it hides the joint it covers. We remove it and look at what is underneath rather than adding another layer.
We diagnose the failure mode rather than selling a new unit for a flashing problem.
We photograph every skylight at the time of the storm, which is what makes a later supplement possible.
We remove old sealant and look at the joint, instead of adding a layer to it.
We will tell you to do it during the re roof, which is cheaper for you and less work for us.
We treat it as roofing, because the flashing layers with the shingles and glaziers do not do that.
We will take one out and close the hole if that is genuinely what you want.
We repair and replace skylights across:
Our office is on Preston Road in Frisco.
If a storm has been through, a free roof inspection covers the skylights along with everything else, and storm damage repair covers what the same event did to the rest of the property.

Yes, and this is the most commonly missed form of skylight storm damage. Impact can compromise the edge seal, damage the flashing, or pit the glazing surface, all without cracking through. None of those announces itself immediately, which is why skylights should be inspected at the time of the storm rather than when a stain appears.
The edge seal has failed. The gas fill has escaped and moist outside air has got in, and the moisture is inside a sealed assembly where cleaning cannot reach it. It can be caused by age, a manufacturing fault, or storm impact and pressure change.
That pattern usually points at the flashing rather than the unit. In light rain falling straight down, water sheds over the flashing normally. In wind driven rain it is pushed at an angle and can get under a lap that is no longer sound. A unit in perfect condition can leak this way, which is why diagnosing the flashing matters before anyone sells you a new skylight.
If they are more than about fifteen years old, or showing any symptom on this page, yes. The flashing has to come off and go back on either way, so the incremental cost during a re roof is small. Doing it separately later means opening up a new roof.
We can, and we would rather not. Sealant over a flashing junction is a temporary measure that degrades under UV and hides the joint underneath, so the next person to look has to undo it before they can diagnose anything.
Storm damage to a skylight is commonly part of a property claim, and it belongs on the same claim as the roof. Whether your policy covers a given item is between you, your policy and your agent. The practical problem with skylights is usually not coverage, it is that nobody documented them at the time.
Yes. Some homeowners inherit a skylight in a room where it causes heat or glare problems, and removing it and reinstating the roof properly is a legitimate option. It is roofing work, and the interior ceiling has to be made good as well.
Yes, tubular daylight devices as well as conventional skylights. They fail in similar ways, usually at the dome and at the flashing, and the diffuser at the ceiling end can show moisture before anything is visible from outside.
An individual unit is usually straightforward once access is set up. What extends it is curb repair, where the structure underneath has taken water, and weather, because a skylight opening cannot be left open in the rain.
If a storm has been through, or you have a stain near a skylight that comes and goes with the weather, the inspection covers the glazing, the seal, the flashing and the structure underneath.
