Cracked Skylight Replaced With a Proper Curb-Mount Double Dome

Skylights take a beating over the years. The dome gets brittle, the flashing starts to fail, and before long you're dealing with water stains on your ceiling or a draft you can't explain. It's one of those things homeowners tend to put off - until they really can't anymore.

This one needed a full replacement. We swapped out the old unit for a new 2'x4' curb-mount double dome skylight. The double dome design is worth calling out - it provides better insulation than a single dome and holds up significantly longer under UV exposure and temperature swings. It's just a smarter unit.

The flashing is where a lot of skylight installs go wrong. We made sure everything was properly sealed and integrated with the surrounding shingles. No shortcuts. A skylight that leaks almost always comes down to flashing that wasn't done right the first time - so we take that part seriously on every job.

What you end up with is a watertight fit that should hold up for years without any issues. No more water sneaking in. No more worrying every time it rains. Just a clean, solid install that does exactly what it's supposed to do.

If your skylight is showing its age - cracked dome, soft flashing, water stains inside - it's worth getting it looked at before the damage spreads to the decking or interior. We handle skylight replacements as part of our broader roof repair and roof maintenance work, so we're used to making sure everything around the unit is in good shape too.
