Skylight repair in Sand Springs. Older skylights, fixable problems.
Sand Springs has older housing stock, and many of those homes have skylights from the 1990s and early 2000s. Twenty to thirty years of Oklahoma weather has taken a toll on the seals and flashing. But the units themselves are often still functional. We repair the seal and flashing without replacing the skylight.
Q: Can an older Sand Springs skylight be repaired instead of replaced?
Sand Springs skylights from the 1990s and early 2000s are reaching the end of their seal life. The glazing is typically double-pane tempered glass that holds up well. The weatherproofing around it does not.
We see a lot of Sand Springs skylights that have been caulked and re-caulked over the years. Layers of old sealant around the curb. It works for a while, then it does not. The right fix is to remove all the old sealant, inspect the curb and flashing, and re-seal with proper materials.
We repair skylights in the 74063 ZIP code. The inspection is free.
Why Sand Springs skylights are worth repairing.
A skylight unit from the 1990s or early 2000s was built better than many current units. Thicker glazing, heavier frames, and solid curb construction. Replacing it with a new unit does not necessarily get you a better product.
What these older units need is fresh weatherproofing: a new curb gasket, new step-and-counter flashing, and proper sealant. This costs $600 to $1,800 versus $1,500 to $3,500 for a full replacement.
We strip the old sealant layers, inspect the curb wood for rot, replace any damaged sections, and re-seal with manufacturer-spec materials. The result is a skylight that functions like new at a fraction of the replacement cost.
If the curb wood is significantly rotted, we rebuild the curb and re-seat the existing unit. This is still less expensive than a full replacement in most cases.
