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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

“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.”

✓ Verified“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.”

✓ Verified“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.
