About this service
What Skylight Repair Bryan TX Actually Involves
Skylight Repair Bryan TX is the process of restoring a roof window to a watertight, weather-tight condition by replacing failed seals, cracked lenses, damaged flashing, or rotted curb framing. It is not just a bead of caulk. A proper repair means pulling the old sealant, checking the curb for rot, verifying the roof underlayment and ice and water shield around the opening, and reinstalling the unit so it sheds water the way it was designed to.
Most Bryan homeowners call us after they spot a stain on the ceiling or hear dripping during a hard rain. The problem is usually one of three things: the seal between the skylight frame and the roof has dried out, the flashing has pulled away from the curb, or the acrylic dome has hairline cracks from hail. We see this a lot in older Bryan neighborhoods where skylights were installed in the 1980s and 1990s and have never been touched since.

What's included
What Our Skylight Repair Includes
Every skylight repair includes a full inspection, a written price, and a water test before we leave. We do not charge extra for the estimate or for photos of the problem. If we find rotted decking or damaged flashing, we price that separately so you can decide.
✓
Full Roof and Interior Inspection
We inspect the skylight from the roof and from inside the attic or ceiling. Moisture meters and infrared cameras tell us how far water has traveled. You get photos and a written report.
✓
Flashing and Seal Replacement
We remove old sealant and damaged flashing, then install new flashing and roofing sealant rated for Texas UV and heat. Every lap gets sealed and nailed with a roofing nail gun.
✓
Lens or Unit Replacement
If the acrylic lens is cracked or the unit is beyond repair, we replace it with a new Velux or Firestone skylight sized to your opening. We match the curb dimensions so no reframing is needed.
✓
Decking and Underlayment Repair
Rotted roof decking gets cut out and replaced with new plywood or OSB. We install new ice and water shield and roofing underlayment around the curb before reinstalling the skylight.
✓
Water Test and Cleanup
We run a hose test for 10 to 15 minutes and check inside for any moisture. If it is dry, we clean the gutters of debris, haul off old material, and walk you through the repair.
How it works
Our Skylight Repair Process Step by Step
01
Roof Inspection
We walk the roof, check the skylight curb, flashing, and surrounding shingles. A moisture meter and infrared camera tell us if water has traveled into the decking. You get photos of the problem and a written price before we start.
02
Interior Check
Inside, we check the ceiling, insulation, and framing around the skylight opening. If the drywall is wet, we mark the extent so you know what needs to dry. This takes about 15 minutes and prevents surprises later.
03
Removal and Prep
We pull the old sealant, remove the skylight lens or unit, and inspect the curb for rot. Bad wood comes out. We replace it with new framing, then install fresh ice and water shield and roofing underlayment around the opening.
04
Repair and Seal
Depending on the problem, we replace the lens, reflash the curb, or install a new unit. We use roofing sealant rated for Texas heat and UV. Flashing gets set with a roofing nail gun and sealed at every lap.
05
Water Test and Cleanup
Before we leave, we run a hose test on the skylight for 10 to 15 minutes while checking inside. If it stays dry, we clean the gutters of debris, haul off old material, and walk you through what we did.
Tools & methods
Tools and Methods We Use for Skylight Repair
Purpose-built equipment, used by trained technicians — so the job is done accurately the first time.
Moisture Meter
Measures water content in decking, insulation, and drywall so we know exactly how far a skylight leak has traveled.
Infrared Camera
Detects temperature differences caused by hidden moisture behind ceilings and in roof cavities without cutting into drywall.
Roofing Nail Gun
Fastens flashing, underlayment, and shingles around the skylight curb with consistent depth and spacing.
Caulking Gun
Applies roofing sealant evenly along flashing laps and the skylight frame for a clean, watertight bead.
Pry Bar
Lifts shingles and flashing without tearing them so we can inspect the curb and underlayment underneath.
Ladder Stabilizer
Keeps ladders secure against gutters and roof edges so we can access skylights safely on steep or two-story homes.
Safety Harness
OSHA-compliant fall protection for every roof worker, required on all skylight repairs above one story.
Real results
Before and after.
Leaking Skylight in Austin's Colony
Before
A homeowner in Austin's Colony had a ceiling stain that grew every time it rained. The skylight had been caulked twice by another company, but the leak kept coming back. Our inspection found the curb flashing had pulled away and the decking underneath was soft.
After
We replaced the flashing, cut out and replaced two square feet of rotted decking, and installed new ice and water shield. A 15-minute hose test showed no leaks. The ceiling stain stopped growing, and the homeowner avoided a drywall repair.
Hail Cracked Skylight in The Traditions
Before
A spring hail storm cracked the acrylic dome on a skylight in The Traditions. The homeowner did not notice until rain started dripping into the living room. The crack was small but let in wind-driven rain.
After
We tarped the skylight the same day and installed a new Velux replacement lens within a week. We also replaced three hail-damaged shingles around the curb. The skylight is now watertight and the new lens carries a manufacturer warranty.
Foggy Skylight in Historic Downtown Bryan
Before
A 1950s home in Historic Downtown Bryan had a skylight that fogged up between the panes. The seal had failed, and moisture was trapped inside. The homeowner also noticed a musty smell in the attic.
After
We replaced the failed sealed unit with a new dual-pane Velux skylight. The new unit cleared the fog and restored daylight. We also checked attic ventilation and found a blocked soffit vent, which we cleared.

What Bryan Homeowners Say
★★★★★
“Our skylight had been leaking for months and two other companies just wanted to caulk it. Bryan Roof Repair Experts found the flashing was actually the problem, replaced the ice and water shield, and resealed the whole curb. That was last spring and we have not seen a drop since. They showed me photos of everything.”

“Hail cracked the acrylic dome on our skylight and we did not notice until it rained. They came out the same day, tarped it, and had a new Velux lens installed within a week. The price was exactly what they quoted. No surprises.”

“Our 1940s home has an old skylight that had been patched for years. They pulled it, found rotted decking, replaced the wood, and installed new flashing. The ceiling stain has not grown at all. They cleaned up so well you could not tell anyone had been on the roof.”

✓ VerifiedMost skylight repairs in Bryan run $350 to $850 depending on whether we are replacing a lens, reflashing the curb, or repairing rotted decking. A simple reseal starts around $250. If the entire unit needs replacement, expect $900 to $1,800 installed. We give you a written price before we start, and we do not charge for the estimate.
The most common cause is failed flashing or dried-out sealant around the curb, not the glass itself. Bryan summers hit 100 degrees, which cooks the sealant and causes it to pull away from the frame. Hail can also crack acrylic domes. We inspect the flashing, lens, and curb to find the exact entry point.
Yes. We repair all major skylight brands, including Velux, Firestone, and Carlisle Syntec units. We handle cracked lenses, failed seals, rotted curbs, and condensation problems. If the unit is too far gone, we can replace it with a new Velux or Firestone skylight sized to your existing opening.
