Skylight Repair & Re-Flashing in Clifton Park, NY
Don't assume a leak means you need a brand-new unit. In fact, 80% of leaking skylights simply need proper re-flashing, not a total replacement. Before you spend $3,000 or more on a new installation, let an expert diagnose what is actually happening. Professional skylight repair usually costs between $650 and $1,100, and it can have your roof completely watertight before the next Upstate New York storm hits. Get the exact fix you need this week, without the unnecessary upsell.
Skylight Repair Services
Before giving you a quote for a skylight repair, we find the exact cause of the leak.
The most common culprits behind leaking skylights include:
- Failed step flashing along the uphill edges
- Dried or missing sealant at the flashing joints
- Improperly installed flashing kits (frequent with non-certified installations)
- Cracked or fogged glass and acrylic glazing
- Broken perimeter seals on insulated glass units
- Rotted or deteriorated curbs on older units
- Ice dam backups pushing water under the frame
- Severe damage that requires a full unit replacement
Once we pinpoint the exact problem, you receive a fixed, itemized price. You will never have to deal with surprise costs or "we'll see what we find" pricing after the crew is already on your roof.

If your unit is beyond repair or more than 20 years old, a new VELUX installation often makes more sense. See our Skylight Installation page for pricing and options.

Skylight Repair FAQs
In most cases, a leaking skylight is caused by failed flashing, not the glass itself. The flashing creates the waterproof seal between the skylight frame and the roof. Over time, sealant can dry out, metal can corrode, or the original flashing may have been installed incorrectly. In many cases, professional Skylight Repair means removing the old flashing and installing a new, properly fitted system.
A standard skylight re-flash typically costs $650 to $1,100. That usually includes removing the existing flashing, installing a new VELUX or equivalent flashing kit, and reseating the glazing unit. If the glass or acrylic is damaged, replacement usually adds $420 to $880.
Usually, no. If the skylight is less than 20 years old and the glazing is still in good condition, re-flashing will often stop the leak without a full replacement. If there is no cracking, fogging, or seal failure, Skylight Repair is often the more practical and cost-effective option.
Most skylight repairs can be scheduled within the same week. If your skylight is actively dripping, same-day tarping is often available during business hours to prevent further water damage until the repair is completed.
