Skylight Repair and Installation in Boca Raton, FL

A skylight brings daylight into a room, and when it fails it can bring water in too. Atlantic Window Repair repairs and installs skylights for homes and commercial buildings in Boca Raton and across Palm Beach, Broward, and Miami-Dade counties. We start by finding where the problem actually is, because a stain on the ceiling is not always the skylight’s fault.

Our licensed and insured in-house team has served South Florida since 2020. Estimates are free and done in person at your property.

Skylight Leak Repair

Water around a skylight usually comes from one of a few places: dried-out seals in the glazing, joints around the frame that have opened up, or cracked glass. We inspect the skylight and the area around it, then reseal what has failed. This is the same sealing work we do under window leak repair and caulking, applied to the skylight and its frame.

When the Leak Is Not the Skylight

Sometimes the water traces back to the roof around the skylight instead of the skylight itself. When that is the case, we tell you so, because that repair belongs with a roofer and resealing the glass will not stop it.

Condensation or a Leak

Moisture on the surface of the glass is condensation, while stains, drips, or damp spots on the ceiling and the frame point to a leak. Telling them apart is the first thing we do on site.

Skylight Glass Replacement

A cracked or broken skylight needs attention quickly, because an open or damaged unit lets in rain and heat. When the frame is sound, we measure the unit, order matching glass, and replace it in the existing frame. If the skylight is old enough that matching glass can no longer be sourced, the whole unit may need replacing, and we tell you that up front. Skylight glass replacement is part of our broader glass replacement work.

Foggy Double Pane Skylights

A double pane skylight that fogs between the panes has a failed seal, the same failure behind foggy window repair. Cleaning will not clear it, and the fix is a new sealed glass unit set into the existing frame.

New Skylight Installation

We install new skylights in homes and commercial buildings, in places where there is no skylight today and as replacements for old units. Before we quote, we look at the roof, the attic framing, and the ceiling, so you know what the opening involves and what the finished room will look like.

  • Fixed skylights for light only.
  • Venting skylights that open for air.
  • Replacement of old or damaged skylight units.

Residential and Commercial Properties

We work on skylights in single-family homes, condos, and commercial buildings. For multi-unit and commercial properties, we coordinate access with the building office or property manager.

How a Skylight Job Works

  1. Free on-site estimate. We inspect the skylight, the frame, and the surrounding area, and find where the problem actually starts.
  2. Repair or replace. We tell you whether resealing, new glass, or a new unit is the right fix, and what each involves.
  3. Measuring and ordering. For new glass or a new skylight, we measure on site and order what the job needs.
  4. Work, testing, and cleanup. We carry out the repair or installation, check the seals, and clean up before we leave.

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I tell if my skylight is leaking or just has condensation?

Condensation shows up as moisture on the surface of the glass, while a leak leaves stains, drips, or damp spots on the ceiling and around the frame. We inspect both the skylight and the area around it to tell you which one you have.

Can you replace the glass without replacing the whole skylight?

Often, yes. When the frame is sound and matching glass can be sourced, we replace the glass in the existing unit.

Why is my double pane skylight foggy?

The seal around the glass unit has failed and moisture has gotten between the panes. Cleaning will not clear it, and the fix is a new sealed glass unit.

Can you install a skylight where there is not one now?

Yes, we can. We check the roof, the attic framing, and the ceiling first, so you know what the opening involves before any work begins.

Could my leak be coming from the roof instead of the skylight?

It can. If the water traces back to the roof around the skylight, we say so, because that repair belongs with a roofer.

Do you work on skylights in commercial buildings?

Yes, we do. Commercial buildings are part of our skylight work, and we coordinate access with the property manager.
