Common Skylight Window Problems<br><span class="darken"> We Fix</span>

Common Skylight Window Problems
We Fix

Skylights face extreme weather exposure and unique structural stresses. Our technicians are trained to solve all skylight window issues:

leaky-window

Active Leaks and Water Damage

Water intrusion around skylights can destroy ceilings, insulation, and structural components. We trace leaks to their source, whether flashing failure, seal degradation, or frame damage, and implement permanent solutions that keep water out.
water-infiltration

Condensation and Interior Moisture

Excessive condensation indicates ventilation problems or seal failure that can lead to mold and rot. We identify moisture sources and repair ventilation systems, seals, and thermal breaks to eliminate damaging condensation.

Cracked or Broken Glass

From hail damage to thermal stress, skylight glass takes serious abuse. We replace damaged glazing with impact-resistant options while maintaining proper dome height and thermal performance.

Stuck or Inoperable Venting Units

When venting skylights won't open or close properly, you lose natural ventilation and temperature control. We repair motors, cranks, chains, and control systems to restore reliable operation.
drafts-and-energy-loss

Deteriorated Gaskets and Weatherstripping

UV exposure and temperature extremes destroy skylight seals faster than vertical windows. We replace all degraded gaskets and weatherstripping with materials designed for skylight applications.
structural integrity

Structural Sagging or Distortion

Improper installation or roof movement can cause skylight frames to sag or separate. We realign and reinforce the entire assembly to ensure proper pitch and drainage.

Types of Skylight
Windows We Repair

We service all skylight types installed throughout the greater Chicagoland area, including:

Fixed Skylights

Fixed Skylights

Common in living rooms, hallways, and stairwells, these non-operable skylights are popular for their sleek profile. We repair seals, glass, frames, and flashing without disrupting your ceiling or roof structure.

Vented (Manual or Electric) Skylights

Vented (Manual or Electric) Skylights

Often found in kitchens, bathrooms, and sunrooms, vented skylights offer airflow but also present more failure points. We restore hinges, motors, and crank mechanisms, and we reseal all edges to eliminate leaks and improve operation.

Tubular or Sun Tunnel Skylights

Tubular or Sun Tunnel Skylights

These compact, reflective units brighten smaller spaces like closets or hallways. We fix leaks at the dome, tunnel gaps, and ceiling diffusers, ensuring even light transmission and leak-free function.

Domed Skylights

Domed Skylights

Made of acrylic or polycarbonate, domed skylights are common on flat or low-slope roofs. We repair cracks, replace warped domes, and reseal roof seams to keep moisture out and light flowing in.

Custom and Architectural Skylights

Custom and Architectural Skylights

No matter the shape — pyramid, barrel vault, polygon, or combination units — we provide custom-fit repair and resealing solutions that preserve the design while improving weather protection.

What Our Clients Say

Apex experts came by quickly, were professional, and finished the estimate on the spot. The office followed up with me over the next few weeks as I wasn't ready to make a decision. I then affirmed to move ahead, they scheduled within a week. The installation crew was polite, and professional and did great work. The cost was a good value for the work done. I would highly recommend it. I'm delighted to have my two windows fixed. The one I can open again and the other I can see clearly out again.

Apex Window Werks replaced the foggy glass on our kitchen window. They carefully removed the old glass pane and installed a new one, ensuring precise measurements and using silicone to secure it properly. From the first person I spoke to on the phone, to the couple of gentlemen who installed the glass, everyone was easy to talk to and they were all very professional. Highly recommended!

Ofelia Miguel, Joliet, IL

Service technicians were polite and professional. They removed damaged parts of the window, cut new pieces to fit, stained the wood, and installed them nicely. The team cleaned up as if they were never there. I would recommend Apex Windows Werks for your window repair. Friends living near me ordered window repairs based on my recommendation as well.

Had someone come out to look at a few windows I’m having issues with - none of them needed a full frame replacement at the moment but the technician was incredibly kind and informative. The technician determined that replacing the entire window frame was not necessary, which saved me both time and money. I feel confident about caring for my current windows, I know what to look for to let me know replacements are needed, and I will definitely be coming back to Apex when that is the case. Thank you!

Alyssa Nickow, Elgin, IL

I was thrilled that Apex Windows Werks had the right parts, and was able to come right out and repair my window on site. They were very prompt, and they saved me quite a bit of money over the replacement quote I got from another window company that didn’t do repairs.

Frequently Asked
Questions

Can you repair a skylight without replacing the whole thing?

Yes. In most cases, we repair or replace individual components like glass panes, domes, flashing, or seals without touching the entire skylight assembly.

How long does skylight window repair take?

Most skylight repairs are completed in a single visit, typically within 2–4 hours. More complex issues may require a follow-up, but we’ll give you a clear timeline upfront.

Is skylight repair cheaper than replacement?

Almost always. Repair is usually 50–80% less expensive than full replacement and avoids the cost of drywall, painting, or roof patching.

Is skylight repair covered by homeowners' insurance?

Coverage depends on your policy and the damage cause. Storm damage is often covered, while wear and tear typically isn’t. We provide detailed documentation and work with insurance adjusters to support your claim.
