Do you repair or only replace skylights?

Both. Many skylights we assess in St. Charles just need a proper flashing rebuild or reseal — not full replacement. We only recommend replacement when the unit's frame or glazing is truly past service life.

How long do skylights last?

Most residential skylights have a 20-25 year service life. Older acrylic bubble skylights and any unit installed over 20 years ago should be assessed for glazing seal failure, especially after a hail event.

Can a skylight leak damage my roof?

Yes. An unresolved skylight leak wets decking, insulation, and framing, and can lead to mold and rotted sheathing over time. Early diagnosis and documentation is the cheapest fix by far.

Will insurance cover skylight damage?

Often, yes — especially when the damage is caused by hail or wind. Dean is a licensed public adjuster and documents skylight damage to the standard insurance carriers require.

Hammerfall Roofing

Skylight Repair & Replacement in St. Charles, IL

Skylights bring in beautiful natural light — until they leak. Old seals, cracked domes, and worn flashing can quietly drip for months before the stain reaches your ceiling. Hammerfall Roofing diagnoses skylight leaks the right way, documents what we find, and either reseals, reflashes, or fully replaces the unit so you stop guessing what's happening above your head.

About Our Skylight Repair & Replacement Service

Skylight Leaks Are Rarely Where You Think They Are

Most "skylight leaks" in St. Charles homes actually start at the flashing kit surrounding the unit — not the skylight glass itself. That's why we start every skylight call with a full assessment of the surrounding roof plane, ice-and-water shield coverage, step flashing, and any prior repair attempts. We document what we find with photos before we recommend anything.

From there, Dean will walk you through the honest options: reseal and re-flash a healthy unit, or replace the skylight entirely if the frame, seals, or glazing are past service life. Education first. Roofing second.

What's Included

What We Do for Skylights

Leak Diagnostics

We trace the actual water path — flashing kit, curb, glazing seals, or surrounding shingles — before recommending a fix.

Flashing Rebuilds

Full step-flashing and ice-and-water shield rebuild around the skylight curb — the fix most 'skylight leak repairs' actually need.

Full Skylight Replacement

Replacement of failed units with new curb-mounted or deck-mounted skylights, sized and flashed to current code.

Reseal & Re-glaze

Where the unit is healthy, we reseal glazing gaskets and re-caulk penetrations to buy years of additional service.

Interior Trim & Drywall Prep

Documentation of interior water damage for your records or insurance claim — we don't repair drywall, but we help you understand the scope.

Owner-Led Documentation

Dean personally assesses every skylight call and delivers a written Roof Report with photos of every finding.
