Skylight repair in Broken Arrow. The seal failed, not the glass.
Broken Arrow homes with skylights installed during the 2005 to 2015 building boom are hitting the age where seals and flashing begin to fail. The glass is fine. The weatherproofing around it needs attention. We repair skylight seals and flashing from the roof using OEM parts.
Q: Why is my Broken Arrow skylight leaking at the edges?
Skylights in Broken Arrow subdivisions from Forest Ridge to Indian Springs were installed by the builder's subcontractor. The skylight units are typically fine. The flashing kits were sometimes installed in a rush.
The flashing around a skylight is the most critical waterproofing detail on the roof. If the step flashing was not properly woven into the shingle courses, or if the upper curb counter-flashing was caulked instead of mechanically fastened, water finds a path within 10 to 15 years.
We repair skylights across all three Broken Arrow ZIP codes. The inspection is free.
Why BA skylights are reaching failure age.
During the building boom, skylight installations in BA were fast. The unit went in, a generic flashing kit went around it, and the crew moved to the next house. Generic flashing kits use adhesive membranes that degrade faster than the metal step-and-counter flashing systems recommended by Velux and Fakro.
The upper curb takes the most abuse. Every rainstorm sends a sheet of water down the roof slope directly into the skylight's upper flashing. If that flashing is adhesive membrane instead of metal, it lifts and separates under thermal cycling.
We replace generic flashing with OEM metal flashing kits designed specifically for the skylight model installed. This means the repair matches the manufacturer's specifications and is backed by their warranty.
Curb gasket failures are the second pattern. The rubber gasket between the skylight frame and the roof curb hardens and cracks under UV. We carry replacement gaskets for Velux and Fakro units.

Some roofers tell BA homeowners to remove the skylight and shingle over the opening. That eliminates natural light to solve a $600 flashing problem.
