Roofs are arguably the most important component of your house, but they can be complicated, especially so if your roof includes a skylight.

Skylights are wonderful, due to the natural light and sunshine in your home, but they can also be problematic without regular upkeep or repair.

At West Side Roofing, skylights are a daily issue for our customers, who often call with leaks that they are unable to find.

Some signs of a leaking skylight include:

•    A foggy skylight window, which is a sign of moisture entering in.

•    Stains, mold or darkening around the interior trim around the skylight.

•    Similar signs of water damage found on the frame of the skylight.

•    Interior water damage that has no visible explanation.

•    Bubbles in the drywall surrounding the skylight.

There are several options for skylight repair, including patches or new flashing. At West Side Roofing Co. we prefer replacing a leaking skylight, which is the ideal option if it fits in your budget. Replacing the skylight can also give you another 20 years or so of leak-free natural light.
