We also check attic ventilation near the skylight opening, since poor airflow often contributes to the condensation issues homeowners mistake for leaks.
Most skylight leaks trace back to the flashing around the curb, not the glass or dome itself — a detail general roofers sometimes miss.
We also check the surrounding shingles and decking while we're up there, since a skylight issue sometimes points to a broader roof concern.
Every Skylight Repair technician carries current Universal City, CA licensing and skylight-specific training.
Local Universal City dispatch means most Skylight Repair calls get scheduled within a few days.
Flashing, seal, and replacement costs are quoted separately, not bundled together.
Moisture meters help confirm whether a leak is active or residual before recommending a fix.
Skylight issues cover a specific range of leak and seal problems — here's our Skylight Repair scope.
We re-flash the full perimeter, not just the section that's visibly failing.
Degraded rubber seals let water in around the glass or dome even when flashing is intact.
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 Universal City home involves structural and flashing considerations beyond just cutting a hole in the roof.
Poor attic ventilation near a skylight opening often causes the condensation homeowners mistake for a leak.
Tell us what you're seeing — dripping, fogging, or visible flashing damage — and we'll schedule accordingly.
We check the full flashing system, not just the section that looks obviously damaged.
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.
They checked attic ventilation too, not just the skylight itself.
