The customer contacted us through our website to address an issue with their Velux skylight, which had been in place for 25 years. The main concern was water leaking from the bottom corners—a common issue with aging skylights.
When dealing with a leaky skylight, homeowners generally have two options: repair or replacement. Repairs can sometimes extend the skylight’s life for a few more years, depending on the condition. In this case, after a thorough evaluation, we determined that a repair was possible. However, the customer chose not to take the risk of future leaks and opted for a complete replacement instead.
