How Do I Know If My Skylights Need Repairs?

Over time, the constant exposure to sun, rain, and storms can take a toll on your skylights and cause them to deteriorate. Cracks in the glass or frame, faded seals, and a build-up of condensation are all common issues that can compromise your skylight's performance. As these problems progress, they can lead to more significant damage, including leaks and structural issues. Catching these signs early and addressing them with professional repairs is crucial for maintaining the health of your roof and the comfort of your interior.

You should schedule a roof inspection if you notice any of the following skylight problems:

• Leaks or water stains. If you see water dripping from your skylight or notice water stains on the ceiling or walls around it, the seals have likely failed. We can identify the source of the leak and provide a lasting repair.
• Cracked or damaged glass or acrylic. Hail, falling debris, or age-related wear and tear can cause the skylight's glass or acrylic to crack or shatter. This compromises the unit's structural integrity and its ability to keep the elements out. We can replace the damaged pane to restore the skylight's function and appearance.
• Drafts or increased energy bills. If you feel a draft around your skylight or notice a sudden increase in your energy bills, the seals may have failed. This allows conditioned air to escape and outside air to enter, which forces your HVAC system to work harder. We can replace worn-out seals to improve your home or business’s energy efficiency.
• Condensation between panes. Condensation forming between the glass panes of a double-paned skylight indicates a breach in the hermetic seal. This moisture can lead to mold growth and a foggy, obstructed view. We can replace the entire unit to restore clarity and insulation.
• Yellowing or fading of the dome or frame. The sun’s UV rays can eventually cause the plastic dome or frame of your skylight to yellow, fade, or become brittle. This not only looks bad but also weakens the unit. Our team at Trademark Roofing can install a new, UV-resistant skylight that will look great and last for years.
• Visible gaps in flashing. The metal flashing around your skylight prevents water from seeping into your roof. If you can see gaps, rust, or damage to the flashing, your skylight is vulnerable to leaks. We can re-flash the skylight, providing a watertight seal that protects your residential or commercial property.

How Long Do Skylights Typically Last?

The lifespan of a skylight can vary significantly, but most homeowners can expect their skylight to last around 10 to 20 years. This timeline depends on several important factors, including the quality of the materials and initial installation. The type of skylight also plays a role, with higher-quality glass models often outlasting their acrylic or plastic counterparts.

When you replace your roof, you should also replace your skylight. Installing a new skylight simultaneously with a new roof is the best practice for a watertight seal and long-term performance. Trying to reuse an old skylight with new roofing materials can lead to premature leaks and other issues down the line. We can install new, high-efficiency skylights that offer superior durability and insulation, giving you peace of mind and maximizing the benefits of natural light for years to come.
