In many cases, yes. If the skylight itself is still in good condition, problems with flashing, seals, or the surrounding roofing may be repairable. Older or significantly damaged skylights may be better candidates for replacement.
FAQs / Skylights
It can be a good time to consider skylight replacement, particularly if the existing skylight is older or showing signs of deterioration. Replacing it during a roofing project can also make it easier to integrate the new flashing correctly with the roofing system.
Signs of a leaking skylight can include water stains around the opening, dripping water, damaged drywall, moisture between glass panes, or deterioration around the flashing. An inspection can determine whether the issue comes from the skylight itself, its flashing, or the surrounding roof.
