Skylight Installation & Repair

A skylight brings light into a room, but it also adds a penetration through the roof deck and membrane that has to be flashed and sealed correctly to stay watertight. SoffitSmith by Smithbuilt Roofing installs new skylights and repairs existing units for homes and buildings in Bradenton, working the flashing, curb, and seal as one connected system rather than treating the glass on its own.

Finding the Real Problem

Leaks around a skylight do not always show themselves where the water actually enters. We use tools built for that kind of tracing before any repair begins.

Handheld Infrared Cameras — thermal scanning that reveals wet insulation and hidden leak paths around the skylight opening.
Moisture Meters — direct readings that separate an active wet deck from an old stain left behind by a past leak.
Core Sampling Tools — test cuts that show what is really happening in the roof layers surrounding the unit.

Installation & Sealing Work

New openings are cut cleanly, and seals are renewed with attention to how the curb, flashing, and roofing surface come together.

Hole Saws & Vent Cutting Jigs — clean, correctly sized openings for the skylight curb.
Caulking Guns & Heat Guns — sealant applied at the right temperature so it bonds and holds.

This work pairs with our broader chimney and skylight leak sealing, sun tunnel and solar tube installation, and general leak detection services when a wider assessment is needed.
