Skylight repair in Bixby. Builder-installed skylights showing their age.
Bixby homes south of 121st often came with builder-installed skylights in master baths and great rooms. Those skylights used generic flashing kits and standard gaskets that are now 8 to 15 years into their life. The glass is fine. The weatherproofing needs attention. We repair Bixby skylights from the roof with OEM parts.
Q: Why is my Bixby home's skylight leaking?
Production builders in Bixby install skylights as an upgrade option. The unit itself is typically a quality Velux or Fakro product. The flashing kit and installation details are where corners get cut to keep costs down.
Generic adhesive flashing instead of manufacturer metal flashing kits. Caulk instead of butyl sealant. These shortcuts save the builder $50 per skylight and create a leak 10 years later.
We repair skylights in the 74008 ZIP code. The inspection is free.
Why builder skylight installs fail on schedule.
Builder-grade skylight installations use adhesive flashing membranes instead of the manufacturer's metal flashing kit. These membranes degrade under UV exposure and begin lifting at the edges after 8 to 12 years.
The curb seal is the other failure point. Builders apply a bead of polyurethane sealant instead of the manufacturer-specified butyl gasket. That sealant dries, cracks, and lets water in.
We replace the generic materials with OEM parts: the manufacturer's metal flashing kit and butyl gasket. This brings the installation up to the manufacturer's spec and extends the watertight life to match the skylight unit itself.
The repair typically takes one day and costs a fraction of a full skylight replacement.
Four steps. No surprises.
