A skylight leak in Milwaukee metro is nearly always the flashing rather than the glass.
At a glance
- Replace a skylight while the roof is off. Doing it later costs far more.
- A proper flashing kit made for that unit beats any amount of sealant.
- Condensation running down the inside is a ventilation problem, not a leak.
- Most skylights have a service life shorter than the roof around them.

Common questions
Should I replace a skylight during a reroof
If it is more than about fifteen years old, yes. Doing it later means opening a new roof you just paid for.
Why does my skylight drip only in winter
That is usually condensation rather than a leak. Cold glass plus humid indoor air makes water on the inside.
Can a leaking skylight be repaired
Sometimes, if the flashing is intact and the seal failed. Often the honest answer is that the unit is at the end of its life.
