What our skylight repair includes
Every job starts with a full inspection and a written scope.
Work order
Skylight Repair- Roof and interior inspection: We check the skylight curb, flashing, glazing, gaskets, and surrounding shingles from the roof, then use a moisture meter and infrared camera inside to trace where water is actually going. You get photos of every failure point we find.
- Flashing and sealant replacement: Failed butyl tape, cracked sealant, and lifted lead flashing get removed and replaced. We install new ice and water shield and roof sealant to manufacturer detail so the repair holds through Ward County freeze-thaw cycles.
- Glazing and gasket repair: Cracked acrylic domes, fogged glass units, and hardened gaskets get replaced with matching parts. We source Velux and standard sizes, and we tell you the lead time before you approve the work.
- Curb and decking check: We probe the curb and surrounding decking for rot. Soft wood gets cut out and replaced before new flashing goes on, because sealing over rotten framing just moves the leak.
- Water test and cleanup: We hose-test the skylight before we leave and check inside for moisture. Old materials get hauled away, the yard gets magnet-swept for nails, and you get a written record of the repair.

What Skylight Repair Surrey ND involves
A skylight leak rarely stays small. Water finds the path of least resistance, and by the time you see a ceiling stain, the decking and insulation underneath have usually been wet for weeks. Fixing it properly the first time is cheaper than fixing the roof and the ceiling.
Skylight Repair Surrey ND is the work of restoring a roof window so it sheds water, seals tight, and opens or stays fixed as designed. That means inspecting the curb, flashing, sealant, glass or acrylic dome, gaskets, and the surrounding shingles or membrane. We check for cracked glazing, failed butyl tape, corroded fasteners, and clogged weep channels. Most failures trace back to flashing failure or dried-out sealant, not the glass itself. We repair the unit and the roof around it so the fix holds.
In Surrey, North Dakota, skylights take a beating from hail, wind-driven rain, and hard freeze-thaw swings through Ward County winters. A unit that survived last spring can start dripping by the first hard freeze. Homeowners call us when they see ceiling stains, condensation between panes, or water pooling near the shaft. If you need skylight fixing Surrey ND after a storm, we can tarp the opening the same day and return with the right parts.

How our skylight repair process works
Every job starts with finding the actual leak, not guessing at it.
Tools and methods we use
Each method answers a different question. Together they leave very little to guess.
Every roof visit starts with safe access. We use ladders rated for the load and full-body harnesses anchored to the roof so we can work on steep pitches without risk.
Used to lift shingles and cut away old sealant and flashing without damaging the surrounding roof. Clean removal is what makes the new flashing seal properly.
We apply manufacturer-approved sealant to the skylight curb and flashing edges. The right sealant stays flexible through freeze-thaw cycles instead of cracking.
Kept on the truck for emergency calls. If your skylight is actively leaking, we secure the opening the same day so water stops entering while we wait on parts.
When to call for skylight repair
You notice a brown water stain spreading on the ceiling under your skylight after a rainstorm in Surrey.
We inspect the roof, trace the leak with a moisture meter, and repair the failed flashing or sealant.
HomesYour skylight glass is fogged between the panes and you can no longer see through it clearly.
We confirm the seal has failed, measure the unit, and order a replacement glazing or full skylight.
HomesA hailstorm cracked the acrylic dome on your skylight and rain is coming in.
We tarp the opening immediately, document the damage with photos for your insurance claim, and schedule the replacement once the weather clears.
HomesYou are selling your Surrey home and the buyer's inspector flagged the skylight as a concern.
We inspect the unit, repair any active leaks, and give you a written record with photos of the work completed.

How skylight repair runs in Surrey
Surrey, North Dakota sits in Ward County, where winters bring hard freeze-thaw swings and summer storms drive wind-blown rain against roof penetrations. Skylights here fail faster than in milder climates because sealant hardens, flashing lifts, and ice dams push water uphill under the curb.
Whalley
Older homes with original skylights that often need full unit replacement rather than resealing. Access is usually straightforward from the back slope.
Newton
Mix of 1980s and 1990s builds with builder-grade domes. We see a lot of failed gaskets and cracked acrylic here after hail.
Guildford
Larger homes with multiple skylights. We often inspect several units in one visit and quote repairs together to save on mobilization.

- Guildford

PhotoCeiling stain from failed skylight flashing
Before: A homeowner in Whalley had a spreading brown stain on the ceiling under their skylight. The flashing had pulled away from the curb, and water was running down the roof deck into the attic. The drywall was wet across a two-foot section.
After: We removed the old flashing, replaced the ice and water shield, installed new lead flashing, and resealed the curb. A hose test showed no leaks. The ceiling dried out and was repainted, and the stain has not returned.
Hail-cracked dome replaced in Newton
Before: A hailstorm cracked the acrylic dome on a Newton home's skylight. Rain was dripping into the hallway, and the homeowner had a bucket catching water. The crack ran six inches across the glazing.
After: We tarped the opening the same day and ordered a matching replacement dome. Installation took four hours. The new unit is sealed, water-tested, and the hallway is dry.
Fogged glass unit swapped in Guildford
Before: A rental property in Guildford had a double-pane skylight that was completely fogged between the panes. The seal had failed years earlier, and the unit was losing heat in winter. Tenants complained about the lack of light.
After: We replaced the sealed glass unit with a new Velux glazing matched to the frame. The room is bright again, and the thermal performance is restored. The repair has held through two freeze-thaw cycles.
Skylight problems we fix in Surrey
Most skylight calls come down to one of a handful of failures.
Water staining on the ceiling below the skylight
Drywall, insulation, and ceiling joists soak and rot if the leak continues. Mold can start within 48 hours of a wet event.
Condensation between double-pane skylight glass
A failed seal means the insulating gas is gone. The unit fogs up, loses efficiency, and eventually the glazing cracks.
Skylight leaking after hail or wind storm
Cracked domes and lifted flashing let water straight into the roof assembly. One storm can cause thousands in interior damage.
Ice dams forcing water under skylight flashing
Freeze-thaw cycles push water uphill under flashing that looked fine in summer. Leaks show up in January when repair access is hardest.
Why fix your skylight now
A small skylight leak rarely stays small.
Stop interior water damage
A leaking skylight can soak drywall, insulation, and ceiling joists within a single storm season.
Restore daylight and ventilation
Fogged, cracked, or painted-over skylights rob a room of the light they were installed for.
Protect your roof warranty
Improper sealant or a hacked-in flashing patch can void the coverage on your shingles. That matters when the next hail claim comes around.
Raise home value before sale
A pre-listing skylight inspection catches the leaks buyers' inspectors flag.

(604) 555-0142A simple reseal and flashing touch-up sits at the low end. Replacing a cracked dome or a full Velux unit with new flashing pushes toward the top. Emergency tarping is quoted separately. We give you a written range after the roof inspection, and the price does not change unless you approve added work.
A reseal and reflash takes two to four hours on site. A full unit replacement runs four to six hours, plus a few days if we have to order a specific size. Emergency tarping is done the same day you call. We schedule most repairs within three to five business days of your approval, faster if the leak is active.
Yes. We repair skylights year-round in Ward County, including through freeze-thaw cycles. Cold-weather sealants cure down to specific temperature ratings, and we use them when the forecast demands it. If the roof is too icy to walk safely, we tarp from inside and return when conditions allow. Winter leaks get priority because ice dams make them worse.
The most common causes we see are flashing failure, dried-out sealant, hail-cracked glazing, and clogged weep channels that trap condensation. Wind-driven rain and ice dams force water under flashing that looked fine in summer. On older Surrey homes, rotted curbs and loose fasteners show up too. A moisture meter and infrared scan usually pinpoint the source in under an hour.
