What is included
What our skylight service includes
Every skylight job is different, but most installs and repairs include the same core work. We handle the roof work, the flashing, and the cleanup. If you need a custom curb or a specialty unit, we quote that separately before we start.
Full leak inspection
We get on the roof and check the skylight glass, frame, curb, flashing, and surrounding shingles. You get photos and a written report of what we find, plus a fixed price to fix it.
New skylight installation
We supply and install Velux and other major-brand units. The job includes cutting the opening, building or repairing the curb, installing ice and water shield, and flashing it into your roof system.
Flashing and seal repair
Most leaks come from failed flashing or dried sealant. We remove the old material, reset the step flashing, and apply fresh sealant rated for Texas heat. This is the core of skylight leak repair in Huntsville Texas.
Glass or dome replacement
Cracked or hazy glass gets replaced with a matching unit. We check the frame for damage at the same time, because a new pane on a bent frame will leak again within a year.
Water test and cleanup
We run a 20-minute hose test on every install and most repairs. Then we blow the roof clean and run a magnetic sweeper over the yard. You should not find a single nail after we leave.

Service overview
Skylight Installation and Repair Huntsville TX done right
Skylight Installation and Repair Huntsville TX covers everything from swapping a cracked acrylic dome to building a new curb and flashing a fresh Velux unit into your roof deck. We pull the old skylight, inspect the framing for rot, replace any damaged sheathing, then set the new unit on a properly sealed curb with ice and water shield and step flashing. The job ends with a water test, not a guess.
Huntsville sits in a storm belt where hail and 60 mph wind gusts hammer roofs every spring. That is hard on skylights. We see skylight leak repair Huntsville calls after nearly every big blow, usually because the flashing lifted or the sealant dried out. If you have been searching for skylight repair near me Huntsville, we can get a crew out, find the entry point, and stop the water before it stains your ceiling.
- Leak-free flashing — We use ice and water shield, step flashing, and a roofing nail gun to lock the skylight curb into your roof system. That is the difference between a dry ceiling and a recurring stain. Every install gets a 24-hour water test before we pack up.
- Velux and major brands — We install Velux, GAF, and Owens Corning skylight systems, so you get a unit that matches your roof and carries a real manufacturer warranty. Cheap off-brand domes fail in five years. We would rather sell you one that lasts twenty.
- Storm-ready repairs — After hail or wind, skylight leak repair in Huntsville Texas becomes urgent. We tarp the opening the same day if water is coming in, then return with the right flashing and sealant to make the repair permanent. No repeat callbacks.
- Local code knowledge — Huntsville and Walker County follow Texas building codes for roof penetrations and egress. We know what inspectors look for, and we build skylight curbs that pass the first time. That saves you a re-inspection fee and a delay.
- Same-day leak response — If your skylight is leaking, we can usually get a tech out the same day to tarp or seal it. Water damage spreads fast. A $300 repair today beats a $3,000 ceiling repair next month.
- Manufacturer-backed materials — We install Velux, GAF, and Owens Corning products because they hold up. Each unit comes with a manufacturer warranty on top of our workmanship coverage. You get the paperwork in writing.
- Real local reviews — Homeowners in Huntsville, Texas, have trusted us for 26 years. We have a 4.9-star average across Google and BBB. That is not marketing. That is neighbors telling neighbors.

The service timeline
Our skylight installation and repair process
Inspection and estimate
We get on the roof, check the skylight, the flashing, and the surrounding shingles. You get a written scope and a fixed price before we start. Most inspections take 30 to 45 minutes.
Material staging
We order your Velux unit or replacement glass, plus underlayment, ice and water shield, and new flashing. Materials arrive within 3 to 5 business days for standard sizes. Custom curbs can take a week.
Removal and prep
On install day we pull the old skylight, cut back any rotten decking, and inspect the framing. We use a pry bar and shingle cutter to keep the surrounding roof intact. This step takes 1 to 2 hours.
Install and seal
We set the new unit on a properly pitched curb, layer ice and water shield, and weave step flashing into the shingle courses. Every fastener gets sealed. The whole install runs 3 to 5 hours for a standard 2x4 skylight.
Water test and cleanup
We run a hose test for 20 minutes to confirm no leaks, then blow the roof clean with a leaf blower and sweep the yard with a magnetic sweeper for nails. You get a walkthrough and a warranty packet before we leave.
Tools and methods01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09
Tools and methods we use on skylight jobs
Roofing nail gun
Drives shingle fasteners at the correct depth and angle around the skylight curb. Hand-nailing is slower and less consistent on a steep roof.
Shingle cutter and pry bar
Lifts and trims shingles cleanly around the skylight opening. This keeps the surrounding roof intact so we do not create a new leak while fixing the old one.
Ice and water shield
Self-adhering membrane that seals the skylight curb and the first course of shingles. It is the primary defense against wind-driven rain in Huntsville storms.
Roofing ladder and safety harness
Gets us on the roof safely and keeps us tied off while working near the skylight opening. OSHA-compliant fall protection on every job.
Magnetic sweeper and leaf blower
Cleans the roof and yard after the job. The magnetic sweeper picks up stray nails that would otherwise end up in your driveway or lawn.
Velux curb-mount installation
We build a pitched curb, set the Velux unit on it, and flash with step flashing and ice and water shield. This is the manufacturer-approved method and keeps the warranty valid.
Hose water testing
After every install or major repair, we run water over the skylight for 20 minutes and check inside the attic for moisture. If it leaks, we fix it before we leave.
GAF and Owens Corning flashing details
We follow the published flashing details from GAF and Owens Corning for roof penetrations. That means the skylight is integrated into the roof system, not just caulked and hoped for.
Attic-side inspection
We go inside the attic to check the underside of the roof deck around the skylight. Stains, soft wood, or daylight tell us exactly where the water is getting in.
Where this service helps
When Huntsville homeowners call us for skylights
You are replacing your roof and want to add a skylight at the same time.
We frame the curb during the tear-off, install ice and water shield, and flash the skylight into the new shingle courses. It is the cheapest time to add one because the roof is already open. You get a factory-fresh skylight with a new roof warranty, and you save the cost of a separate tear-off later.
A hailstorm cracked your acrylic dome and rain is coming in.
We tarp the opening within hours, document the damage for your insurance claim, and order a replacement unit. Once it arrives, we install and water-test it. Your home stays dry, your claim is documented, and the new skylight is stronger than the one that failed.
Your skylight has leaked three times and previous repairs did not hold.
We pull the unit, inspect the curb and framing, and rebuild the flashing from scratch. No more smearing sealant over a failed system. We fix the cause, not the symptom. The leak stops for good, and you stop paying for repeat repairs every season.
You are selling your home and the buyer's inspector flagged the skylight.
We inspect the unit, repair any active leak, and provide a roof certification letter. The report shows the skylight is watertight and properly flashed. The sale moves forward without a repair credit, and the buyer gets a documented, leak-free skylight.
Local execution
How skylight work runs in Huntsville, Texas
Huntsville roofs take a beating. Spring brings hail and straight-line winds. Summer bakes shingles at 140 degrees on the surface. Winter rain finds every failed seal. That cycle is hard on skylights, especially older acrylic domes that get brittle after a decade. We see a spike in skylight repair Huntsville calls every April and May after storm season. Most homes here have asphalt shingles, so we flash skylights with step flashing and ice and water shield, the same detail GAF requires for warranty coverage. If you are in ZIP code 77340 or 77320, we are probably working nearby this week. For skylight installation and repair Walker County TX homeowners can count on, we bring the right materials and the local experience.
Downtown Huntsville
Older homes near the courthouse often have original wood curbs that need rebuilding before a new skylight goes in.
Pine Hill
Many homes here have steep roofs and tall trees. We watch for shade and debris that speed up flashing failure.
Crabbs Prairie
Newer construction with architectural shingles. Skylights here usually need proper flashing, not a full replacement.
Dodge
Rural properties with metal and shingle roofs. We carry both flashing kits so we can handle either on the first trip.
Spring hail and wind storms
Hail cracks acrylic domes and wind lifts flashing. We see a rush of skylight leak calls from March through May. Same-day tarping is often needed.
Summer heat above 100 degrees
Heat dries out sealant and warps cheap domes. We use heat-rated sealants and recommend Velux units that hold up to Texas sun.
Winter rain and occasional freeze
Freeze-thaw cycles open small gaps in flashing. A fall inspection catches these before the winter rains find them.
Before and after
What a successful service visit changes.
Hail-cracked dome replaced in Pine Hill
Before
A homeowner in Pine Hill called after a hailstorm cracked the acrylic dome on their 15-year-old skylight. Rain was dripping into the hallway ceiling, and the stain was spreading fast.
After
We tarped the opening the same day, ordered a new Velux unit, and installed it three days later. The new skylight is hail-rated and the ceiling stain stopped growing. Total cost was $1,850.
Maintenance: Keep trees trimmed back from the roof and check the flashing every fall. A quick sealant touch-up every 3 to 4 years will keep the unit watertight.
Failed flashing repaired in Crabbs Prairie
Before
A Crabbs Prairie homeowner had a recurring leak around their skylight. Two previous roofers had smeared sealant over the flashing, but the leak came back every time it rained hard.
After
We pulled the shingles back, removed the old flashing, and installed new step flashing with ice and water shield. The repair took 3 hours and cost $620. It has been dry through two storm seasons.
Maintenance: Inspect the flashing after any storm with wind over 40 mph. If you see lifted metal or missing sealant, call us before the next rain.
New skylight added during roof replacement in Dodge
Before
A Dodge homeowner was replacing a 20-year-old shingle roof and wanted to add a skylight in a dark kitchen. The old roof had no skylight, so the curb had to be built from scratch.
After
We framed the curb during the tear-off, installed a 2x4 Velux unit, and flashed it into the new shingle roof. The kitchen is now bright during the day, and the skylight carries a manufacturer warranty.
Maintenance: Clean the glass twice a year with mild soap and water. Check the curb flashing each spring and reseal if you see cracking.
Problems we solve
Skylight problems we solve in Huntsville TX
Skylights fail in predictable ways, especially in a climate with hail, wind, and 100-degree summers. Here are the calls we get most often and how we handle them.
Water staining on the ceiling below the skylight
If ignored, the drywall softens, insulation gets wet, and mold can start within 48 hours. The stain keeps growing even after the rain stops. We trace the leak to the flashing or seal, repair it, and water-test the unit. If the drywall is already wet, we tell you so you can get it dried out before mold sets in.
Cracked or shattered skylight dome after hail
An open skylight lets rain straight into the attic. One storm can soak insulation and ruin the ceiling below. It also creates a safety hazard on the roof. We tarp the opening the same day, then order a replacement unit. Most standard domes arrive in 3 to 5 days. We install it and flash the curb so the repair is permanent.
Condensation between the glass panes
A failed seal lets moisture inside the unit. It looks foggy, cuts the light, and eventually leads to water dripping into the room. The unit cannot be repaired, only replaced. We replace the sealed unit with a new Velux or equivalent. The old frame is inspected for rot. If the curb is sound, the swap takes about 2 hours.
Rotted wood around the skylight curb
Soft framing cannot hold flashing or fasteners. The leak gets worse every rain, and the damage can spread into the roof deck and rafters. We cut out the rotten wood, sister in new framing, and rebuild the curb. Then we flash and install the skylight as if it were a new build. This is a 1 to 2 day job.

Customer stories
What Huntsville homeowners say about our skylight work
Karen M.Homeowner, Pine Hill TX
Our skylight started leaking after the April hailstorm. Pro Roofing came out the next day, tarped it, and had a new Velux unit installed by the end of the week. The ceiling stain has not come back. They even swept the yard for nails. Fair price and no runaround.
David R.Homeowner, Crabbs Prairie TX
I had three roofers tell me I needed a whole new roof because of a skylight leak. Pro Roofing found the actual problem, a failed flashing boot, and fixed it for $480. That was two years ago and it is still dry. Honest crew.
