Skylight installation and repair in Austin, TX. Natural light done right — with proper flashing and waterproofing that will not cause leaks for decades.
Skylights bring natural light into spaces that would otherwise be dependent on artificial lighting. Done right, they are reliable and low-maintenance for decades. Done wrong, they become the source of chronic leaks that are frustrating and expensive to resolve. The difference is almost entirely in the quality of the flashing installation.

Skylights are a great addition to any Austin home — when they are flashed correctly from day one.
The skylight unit itself rarely fails. What fails is the integration between the skylight frame and the surrounding roof — the step flashing, counter flashing, and sill flashing that direct water away from the opening and back onto the roof plane. In Austin, where thermal cycling causes repeated expansion and contraction at every joint, and where summer UV degrades sealants rapidly, this flashing work needs to be done with premium materials and correct technique. A properly flashed skylight in Austin will perform without issue for the life of the roofing material around it.
We evaluate the proposed installation location for rafter spacing, roof pitch, and drainage suitability. We confirm the unit will be properly oriented to avoid heat gain issues and positioned for structural compatibility.
The roof opening is cut correctly, framing is reinforced per code requirements, and the skylight curb is built or the low-profile frame is positioned.
This is the critical step. Step flashing, head flashing, sill flashing, and counter flashing are installed in the correct sequence, integrated with the surrounding shingles or roofing material. We do not rush this.
We take skylight flashing seriously because we know what a poorly flashed skylight looks like ten years later. Every skylight installation we do is flashed correctly from the start.
We flash skylights properly because we understand what happens when this step is rushed. Natural light without the leaks.

Most standard skylight installations are completed in a single day. The timeline is straightforward when the structural assessment is done in advance and the unit is on hand.
Usually not. Most skylight leaks are a flashing problem, not a failed unit. We inspect the flashing in detail and in many cases can re-flash the existing unit correctly, stopping the leak without skylight replacement.
Poorly placed or wrong-glass skylights can add unwanted heat gain. We advise on the right orientation — typically north-facing is cooler — and glass specifications (low-E coatings) that minimize heat gain while maximizing daylight. Modern skylights from quality manufacturers can be very energy-efficient even in Austin.
