Skylights can bring natural light into your home and make interior spaces feel brighter and more inviting. However, aging, damaged, or improperly sealed skylights can also become a source of leaks and other roofing problems.
Team Texas Construction, LLC provides professional skylight replacement and repair services in Mesquite, TX and throughout the North Texas region. Whether you have noticed water around your skylight, visible exterior damage, or an older skylight that needs to be replaced, our team can inspect the area and recommend the appropriate solution.
Professional Skylight Repair in Mesquite, TX
A leaking skylight does not always mean the entire unit needs to be replaced. Depending on the age and condition of the skylight, the problem may involve flashing, seals, roofing materials surrounding the unit, or another repairable component.
Team Texas Construction, LLC can inspect the skylight and surrounding roof to help determine where the problem is occurring.
Common skylight problems include:
- Water leaking around the skylight
- Damaged or deteriorated flashing
- Cracked or damaged skylight components
- Failed or deteriorated seals
- Water stains around the interior opening
- Storm or hail damage
- Problems with surrounding roofing materials
- Older skylights showing signs of deterioration
Finding the actual source of the problem is important before deciding whether a repair or full replacement is necessary.
Skylight Replacement Services
There comes a point when repeatedly repairing an older or extensively damaged skylight may no longer be the best solution.
A skylight replacement may be appropriate when the existing unit has significant damage, persistent leaking, deteriorated seals, or has reached the end of its useful service life.
Our team can remove the existing skylight, prepare the surrounding area, and install the replacement while paying close attention to flashing and integration with the roofing system.
Is Your Skylight Leaking?
Water appearing near a skylight can have several possible causes. The skylight itself may be damaged, but leaks can also develop because of failed flashing or roofing problems near the opening.
Signs of a possible skylight leak include:
- Water stains on the ceiling or walls
- Moisture around the skylight frame
- Dripping during or after rainfall
- Bubbling or peeling paint
- Discoloration around the interior opening
- Visible deterioration around exterior flashing
Because the source of water is not always directly above where it appears indoors, a professional inspection can help identify the actual problem before repairs begin.
Skylight Storm Damage in North Texas
Severe North Texas weather can affect skylights just as it affects shingles, gutters, siding, and other exterior components.
Hail, high winds, heavy rain, and wind-driven debris may damage the skylight itself or the roofing materials and flashing surrounding it.
If your property has recently experienced a significant storm, Team Texas Construction, LLC can evaluate the skylight along with the surrounding roofing system for visible signs of damage.
Skylight Replacement During a Roof Replacement
If you are already planning a new roof, it may be a good time to evaluate your skylights as well.
Replacing an older skylight during a roof replacement project can allow the new unit, flashing, and surrounding roofing materials to be properly integrated as part of the overall roofing system.
Our team can assess the condition and age of your existing skylight and discuss whether keeping, repairing, or replacing it makes sense as part of your roofing project.
Repair or Replace a Skylight?
Whether a skylight should be repaired or replaced depends on several factors, including its age, condition, type of damage, and the condition of the surrounding roofing materials.
A repair may be appropriate for a localized issue when the skylight itself remains in good condition. Replacement may make more sense when there are recurring leaks, extensive deterioration, significant storm damage, or an aging skylight.
Team Texas Construction, LLC can inspect the skylight and explain the available options so you can make an informed decision for your property.
