Easy and Reliable Skylight Maintenance and Repair
Skylights are windows installed in the roof or ceiling, bringing in natural light and improving the overall indoor lighting quality. They also lower energy costs by reducing the need for artificial lighting and offer improved ventilation. Skylights also enhance the aesthetic appeal and mood of your home. Some skylights can be opened, improving indoor air quality and adding a unique design element.
Skylights can be a great addition to your home when they’re installed properly. Our expert roofers will ensure your new skylights are watertight and secure, so you can enjoy them for years to come. If your existing skylight is cracked, seals are worn-out, or they’re otherwise leaking or damaged, our team can professionally repair and restore your skylight.
Repairing and Installing Skylights in Lansing, Jackson, Battle Creek and Hillsdale
Skylights can be a beautiful and functional addition to your home, but in Michigan’s climate, proper installation and maintenance are essential. From heavy winter snowfall to strong summer storms, your skylight needs to be built and sealed to withstand a range of difficult weather conditions. In areas like Lansing, Jackson, Battle Creek, and Hillsdale, freezing temperatures can lead to ice dams forming around poorly installed or aging skylights, increasing the risk of leaks and water damage. During the warmer months, heavy rain and wind-driven storms can expose even small gaps or worn seals.
Skylight Installation
Proper skylight installation is crucial to ensure that it functions correctly. A well-installed skylight is weather-tight, energy-efficient, and provides an unobstructed view of the sky.
FixRoof will be able to assess the location, orientation, and design of your home to ensure your skylight is installed correctly. This may involve using special tools and materials, such as flashing and sealants, to prevent leaks and improve energy efficiency.
Inexperienced contractors sometimes install a skylight without proper securing and sealing. This can result in leaks or water damage weeks, months or years after they complete the job. FixRoof securely, professionally installs skylights for your home or business that will give you sunlight and ventilation for years to come.

Skylight Maintenance
Regular maintenance of your skylight is important to ensure it continues to function correctly and provide the benefits you expect. This may involve cleaning the skylight and surrounding areas, checking for leaks or damage, and making any necessary repairs.
Whether you’re dealing with a small leak, condensation issues, or visible damage, addressing the problem early can prevent more costly repairs down the line. Proper flashing, sealing, and insulation help protect your home from moisture intrusion while also improving energy efficiency. With the right approach, your skylight can continue to bring in natural light without compromising the comfort or protection of your home.
A professional skylight maintenance company like FixRoof can perform these tasks for you and ensure your skylight continues to provide the benefits you expect.

Repairing Skylight Leaks and Drafts
If you experience a leak in your skylight, it is important to have it repaired as soon as possible. Leaks can cause damage to your building’s interior and can also lead to mold growth, which can be a health hazard. Professionals with roofing experience can assess the cause of the leak and make necessary repairs to stop the leak and weatherproof your skylight. This may involve replacing damaged flashing, sealing any gaps, or making other repairs as necessary.
Contact FixRoof to request a skylight leak assessment. We inspect the skylight and surrounding roofing, explain our findings, and recommend repairs or replacement based on the condition. Scheduling depends on current availability and safe working conditions.
Repairing and Restoring Your Skylight
Repairing and restoring your skylight can involve the following steps:
Identify the source of the leak
We’ll look for cracks, holes, or damaged seals in the skylight or around its frame.
Clean the skylight
We’ll remove any debris or dirt from the skylight and surrounding area to ensure a clear and clean surface for repairs.
Repair or replace damaged materials
If the skylight frame is damaged, it may need to be repaired or replaced. If the skylight itself is damaged, it may need to be resealed or replaced.
We’ll install a skylight flashing kit
This kit provides a barrier to prevent water from penetrating the skylight and leaking into the building.
Inspect and maintain the skylight regularly
Regular inspections and maintenance can help prevent future leaks and ensure the longevity of the skylight.
