Skylight Leak Repairs

Expert skylight leak detection and repair in Bayonne. We stop leaks at the source with proper flashing, sealing, and structural fixes that last.

Stop Skylight Leaks for Good

A leaking skylight isn't just an annoyance—it's a threat to your ceiling, insulation, and interior finishes. At Elite Roofing Inc., we've repaired hundreds of skylight leaks across Bayonne, and we know that most problems come down to failed flashing, deteriorated seals, or improper installation.

We don't believe in quick fixes or temporary patches. When you call us for a skylight leak, we trace the water to its source, assess the flashing and curb, and make the repair right—so it doesn't come back next storm.

Why Skylights Leak

Most skylight leaks aren't the skylight's fault. They're caused by:

  • Failed flashing around the curb where the skylight meets the roof
  • Cracked or missing sealant at seams and joints
  • Damaged or improperly installed step flashing on sloped roofs
  • Condensation issues mistaken for leaks
  • Roof deck movement or settling that breaks the seal

We've seen it all, and we fix it all—properly.

Our Approach

We start with a thorough inspection. We check the skylight itself, the flashing system, the surrounding shingles or membrane, and the interior for staining or rot. Once we identify the source, we explain what's needed and why.

Most repairs involve reflashing the skylight with new step and counter flashing, replacing deteriorated sealants, or repairing damaged roofing around the unit. In cases where the skylight itself is cracked or the curb is rotted, we'll let you know if replacement is the smarter long-term investment.

Every repair is done to manufacturer specs and local building codes. We're a second-generation roofing company, and our reputation is built on work that holds up.

Common questions
Can a skylight leak be repaired, or does it need to be replaced?+

Most skylight leaks can be repaired if the unit itself is in good shape. The majority of leaks are caused by flashing or sealant failure, not the skylight. We'll inspect yours and give you an honest recommendation.

How long does a skylight leak repair take?+

Most repairs are completed in a few hours to a day, depending on the extent of the flashing work and weather conditions. We'll give you a timeline upfront.

Will the repair match my existing roof?+

Yes. We match shingles, flashing materials, and finishes to blend seamlessly with your roof. If your shingles are discontinued, we'll source the closest match or advise on options.
