StormBear installs new skylights and fixes leaking ones — flashing, curbs and seals — for homes across Chicago and the nearby suburbs. Your next step is to book a free inspection so we can find whether the leak is the unit or the roof around it.
Every job includes a written warranty with terms in your estimate; see our insurance claim guide for claim questions.
Skylight repair: $500 – $1,500, for resealing the skylight, replacing flashing or repairing surrounding shingles. New installations and unit replacements are priced in writing after we see it.
See all roofing pricesA localized skylight repair usually needs less time than creating a new roof opening. Unit availability, roof access, weather and any damaged framing affect the schedule, so the expected sequence is discussed once the scope is clear.
No: a sound unit may need attention at its flashing or curb rather than complete replacement. Cracked glazing or deterioration of the unit can point toward replacement, which we explain after inspecting the actual condition.
Yes, warm indoor air can condense on a cold surface, particularly during Chicago winters. The timing and location of moisture help guide the inspection, but appearance alone does not confirm the source.
New skylights can be considered during a reroof so the opening and roof details are coordinated. Suitability depends on the roof layout and framing, and the estimate must identify the installation work separately from a simple leak repair.
Generally not. Flashing that aged with the old unit may not seal correctly to a new one, so replacement usually includes new flashing integrated with the surrounding shingles or flat-roof surface. The inspection confirms what the opening and curb need.
Tell us whether dripping follows wind-driven rain, melting snow or cold mornings without precipitation. Photos taken safely from indoors can help show how the staining has changed, but they do not replace inspecting the roof connection. You should not climb onto the roof or apply sealant yourself, since that can obscure the condition we need to evaluate.
