Skylight Repair and Replacement in Beaumont
A leaking skylight is often fixed at its flashing and seals, with no new unit. We find where the water gets in, tell you whether yours needs a repair or a replacement, and quote it in writing before we start.
Monday to Saturday, 7 am to 6 pm. After hours, leave a voicemail and we call back the next working morning.
Skylight Repair in Beaumont
Skylight repair on residential and commercial roofs rebuilds the flashing, reseals the joints and corrects the drainage around the opening.
The stain shows up inside, at a corner of the skylight well, but the water gets in outside on the roof. "Flashing" is the metal that ties the skylight into the roof, and it is the usual leak point. Up the sides it is "step flashing", laid in with each course of shingles.
Call, and we come out, find the spot that lets the water in and quote the whole job before we start.
Estimates are free and in writing.
Skylight Types
Skylights are curb-mounted or deck-mounted, and solar tubes carry daylight through a reflective tube.
-
Curb-mounted skylights
The "curb-mounted" unit sits up on a built wooden curb, a short box framed around the opening, and the metal wraps the curb down to the shingles.
-
Deck-mounted skylights
This unit fastens straight to the roof deck and sits low on the slope, with its metal laid in where the frame meets the shingles.
-
Solar tubes
"Solar tubes" are the small round kind: a clear dome on the roof and light piped down to the ceiling below. Solatube makes them in 10-inch and 14-inch diameters.
Water in the skylight well after a storm?
Catch the drip with a towel or a pan, then call. We answer the phone or call back the same working day.

Repair or Replace the Skylight
A skylight that is sound but leaking at its flashing or seals is repaired, and a failed unit is removed and replaced with new flashing details.
-
Find the entry
The stain inside shows where the water ended up. On the roof, the entry is somewhere around the frame: the head above it, the sides or the apron below.
-
Judge the unit
The glass, the frame and the curb get a close look for cracks, a broken seal or "dry rot" in the wood. What they show settles which way the job goes.
-
Rebuild or swap
On a repair, the shingles around the frame come up so the metal is rebuilt and the joints resealed. On a replacement, the work starts at the curb and the shingles are woven back in around the new frame.
-
Built to stay dry
A properly built curb, "underlayment" protection around the opening and flashing integrated with the shingles prevent most skylight leaks.

Call for a Free EstimateHow Skylight Repair Is Priced
Skylight work is priced by the repair or by the unit, and same-day calls and difficult access add to the price.
The range beside this is for a repair at the flashing and seals. A replacement is priced around the new skylight and the metal that goes in with it.
Your exact price comes from the free estimate, written before any work starts, with no surprise charges after.

Solar Tubes and New Skylights
A new skylight is a larger job than a solar tube, because the roof is re-framed to make room for it.
A tube skips that. It needs no reframing: a small dome goes on the roof and a reflective tube carries the daylight down through the attic to the ceiling.
So in a room with no skylight today, that difference is worth weighing before you choose. Where a skylight already leaks, its opening stays, and the work is a repair or a replacement in place.

Chilo was super quick to respond and come by for a quote. I only needed minor repairs, but the work was done quickly (within the day) and for a fair price.

I am so happy I called IH roofing. My new roof looks great. I called 5 roofing companies and the bid from IH roofing was very competitive. $1000's less than the big companies. I told them my need was dire and they put me right into their calendar. They worked from 8am to dark and had my roof completed in under two days. The crew was courteous and they left my yard cleaner than they found it. I recommend I H roofing without any hesitation.
