Skylight Problems We Evaluate

Repair the Correct Component—not Just the Interior Stain

The appropriate solution depends on the skylight type, age, roof system, opening, surrounding materials, and whether the failure is isolated or part of a broader roof condition.

01

Active Leaks or Ceiling Stains

Trace moisture from the interior evidence back through the roof assembly and skylight details.

02

Failed or Improper Flashing

Evaluate head, sill, step-flashing, curb, underlayment, and roof-to-skylight transitions.

03

Cracked, Clouded, or Damaged Glazing

Review glazing condition, seals, condensation indicators, impact damage, and replacement compatibility.

04

Deteriorated Curbs or Frames

Inspect wood curbs, metal frames, fasteners, corrosion, movement, and concealed deterioration.

05

Older or Discontinued Skylights

Determine whether replacement parts exist and whether repair would provide reasonable long-term value.

06

Roof Replacement Coordination

Evaluate whether an existing skylight should remain, be reflashed, or be replaced while the surrounding roof is open.

Repair or Replacement?

The Best Path Depends on the Skylight and the Roof Around It

Skylight Repair May Be Appropriate When

  • The unit is serviceable and the failure is isolated.
  • Flashing or nearby roofing can be repaired with compatible materials.
  • The curb and surrounding deck remain sound.
  • Required components or replacement parts are available.
  • The repair can be clearly scoped and documented.

Replacement May Be More Responsible When

  • The glazing, frame, seals, or curb have broader deterioration.
  • The skylight is obsolete, repeatedly leaking, or difficult to repair reliably.
  • Opening the surrounding roof would make a limited repair poor value.
  • The roof is being replaced and the old unit may not justify reinstallation.
  • A current product is needed to meet the approved project design and permitting requirements.
Aastro Skylight Service Process

From Leak Report to a Documented Recommendation

Step 1

Review the Symptom

Document when and where the leak, stain, condensation, or visible damage appears.

Step 2

Identify the Assembly

Confirm skylight type, curb or deck mounting, roof system, slope, and surrounding details.

Step 3

Inspect the Water Path

Evaluate glazing, frame, curb, flashing, underlayment, roof covering, and nearby transitions.

Step 4

Compare Repair and Replacement

Consider age, parts, compatibility, access, concealed conditions, and expected service value.

Step 5

Define the Scope

Explain included work, exclusions, permitting considerations, and possible concealed-condition changes.

Step 6

Document Completion

Record the completed detail and communicate maintenance or monitoring recommendations.

South Florida code and product boundary Skylight repair or replacement is project-specific. Product approvals, impact requirements, structural opening conditions, curb dimensions, roof-system compatibility, current Florida Building Code provisions, local AHJ requirements, and manufacturer instructions must be verified for the actual property. This page is service guidance—not an engineering design or product approval.
Frequently Asked Questions

Skylight Repair and Replacement Questions

Can a leaking skylight be repaired?Sometimes. A repair may be practical when the unit is serviceable and the failure is isolated to compatible flashing, roofing, seals, or a limited detail.
Does a ceiling stain prove the skylight is leaking?No. Water can travel from another roof area before appearing beside or below the skylight.
Should an old skylight be replaced during a reroof?It should be evaluated. Reusing an older unit can create poor value when the roof is already open and the skylight is near the end of its useful life.
Do South Florida skylights need impact approval?The applicable product approval, opening, building location, permit requirements, and project design must be verified for the specific installation.
