Skylights in St. Louis

Discuss skylight replacement, installation and leak concerns in St. Louis. Review roof flashing, opening condition and glass choices before scheduling.

Two glass skylights with flashing on an asphalt shingle roof

A skylight connects the roof, glass assembly and interior opening. Daylight is only part of the decision: roof pitch, flashing, water drainage and access all matter. Call Exterior Building Solutions to discuss the skylight services available for your property and the right assessment.

Replacing an existing skylight or creating a new opening

Replacement starts with the existing unit and surrounding roof condition. A new opening adds different questions about roof structure, the interior shaft and finishing work. Confirm the full scope rather than assuming a roofing visit includes every interior or structural task.

Fixed, opening and glazing options

Fixed skylights provide daylight without opening; venting units add an opening function and different operating details. Compare glass ratings, sun exposure and maintenance access. Product suitability depends on roof pitch, mounting method and the selected flashing system; confirm available options with our team.

Skylight leaks versus condensation

Moisture can involve roof flashing, the unit’s seals or interior condensation. Note whether it occurs with rain, in cold weather or between panes. A stain near a skylight does not establish the source by itself. A roof assessment helps determine which details need attention.

Record when moisture appears and where it is visible.
Share the approximate age of the unit and the roof.
Ask whether replacement should be coordinated with roof work.

Coordinate skylight work with the roofing system

Nearby shingles, underlayment and flashing may need attention when a unit is replaced. Review compatibility with the roof and the boundaries of the work. Confirm product and installation warranty terms and any interior finishing responsibilities before scheduling.

Common questions

Can skylights be added to an existing roof?

Often, yes. Roof framing, attic space and flashing details need to be assessed, and installation is easiest to coordinate with a roof replacement.

Does a leaking skylight always need replacement?

Not necessarily. Flashing or other roof details may be involved. The unit’s condition and source of moisture guide the repair or replacement recommendation.

Can skylight work happen during roof replacement?

It can be worth discussing together because the roof materials and flashing overlap. Product suitability, availability and the final scope must be confirmed.
