Roof Repair Smedway's Skylight Repair service covers flashing repair, reseals, and unit replacement across Elmira, whatever the skylight actually needs.
Most skylight leaks trace back to the flashing around the curb, not the glass or dome itself — a detail general roofers sometimes miss.
A proper Skylight Repair diagnosis takes a few extra minutes but saves you from paying for the wrong fix.
Insurance documentation available before work begins on any Elmira property.
We carry common flashing and seal materials to handle most repairs in one visit.
You'll know exactly what's being fixed and why before we start.
We check curb flashing, step flashing, and counter-flashing as a full system, not in isolation.
Here's what falls under our Elmira Skylight Repair service for skylights.
Cracked or corroded flashing around the skylight curb is the most common source of Elmira skylight leaks.
Seal replacement is often a faster, cheaper fix than homeowners expect before calling.
We diagnose whether it's actually water intrusion or a ventilation issue before recommending a repair.
When the skylight unit itself has failed — cracked glass, fogged double-pane seals — we replace it to current code.
Adding a skylight to a Elmira home involves structural and flashing considerations beyond just cutting a hole in the roof.
We check airflow as part of a full Skylight Repair diagnosis, not just the flashing and seals.
Tell us what you're seeing — dripping, fogging, or visible flashing damage — and we'll schedule accordingly.
Technicians check flashing, seals, and surrounding decking as one connected system.
We explain the actual cause before quoting, so you're not paying for the wrong repair.
We test the repair area before considering the Skylight Repair job complete.
Thought we needed a whole new skylight, turned out to be a flashing fix that cost way less.
