Why Choose Red Maple for Skylight Repair & Replacement?
Most skylight leaks we see in Metro Vancouver are not the glass. They come from the flashing around the skylight: old step flashing, caulk that has dried out, a curb that was never flashed properly, or debris and moss damming water on the uphill side. Heavy fall and winter rain finds those gaps fast, and the first sign is usually a stain on the drywall around the opening.
We tell you honestly whether the skylight can be resealed and reflashed or whether the unit itself has failed (fogged double glazing, cracked domes, rotted frames). If you are replacing the roof, that is the best time to replace an older skylight, because the flashing can be done properly with the new underlayment.
How We Work
Find the Real Leak
We check the skylight, flashing and the roof above it, and look inside the well for where water is actually getting in. Condensation on a cold skylight can look like a leak, so we check for that too.
Photos & Written Quote
You see the cause in photos and get a written price for reflashing, resealing or replacing the unit before any work starts.
Reflash or Replace
Old flashing comes off, ice-and-water protection goes around the curb, and new step and head flashing is installed with the shingles woven back in. Failed units are replaced with a new skylight and flashing kit.
Water Test & Clean-Up
We check the finished work, clean up the roof and the room below, and give you before-and-after photos.

Skylight Leak Repair
If the unit is sound, a leak is usually fixed by removing the old flashing, adding ice-and-water protection and installing new step flashing woven into the shingles. Caulk alone is a short-term patch and we do not sell it as a repair.
Skylight Replacement
Fogged double glazing, cracked domes and rotted frames mean the unit has failed. We replace it with a new skylight and matching flashing kit, and fix any rotted curb or decking we find while it is open.
Skylight Flashing Repair
Most skylight leaks are flashing failures. Rebuilding the flashing properly is often all a skylight needs, and it costs far less than a new unit.
Skylights During a Reroof
If your roof is being replaced, older skylights should usually be replaced at the same time so the new flashing ties into the new underlayment. We will quote it as an option so you can decide.

If your skylight only needs new flashing, we will not sell you a new unit. And if the "leak" is actually condensation, we will tell you that instead of charging for a repair.
