Velux, Fakro, and curb-mount skylights — flashed and installed without leaks.
Roughly 1 in 6 Orland Park leak calls trace back to a skylight — and 90% of those leaks come from failed flashing, not the skylight itself. Skylights installed before 2008 are nearly all due for replacement; the seals, gaskets, and flashing kits weren't engineered for the 25+ freeze-thaw cycles southwest Cook County puts them through.
Orland Park Roofing Pros matches you with contractors who specialize specifically in skylight install and repair . Ask whether the contractor holds manufacturer certifications such as Velux 5-Year No Leak installer status, and what warranty that actually provides.
Local contractors handle the full skylight scope across Orland Park homes.
Skylights installed in the 1990s and 2000s used flashing kits that depended on long-term sealant adhesion. After 15+ years of Orland Park sun and freeze-thaw, those sealants fail. The leak shows up at the ceiling drywall, but the source is almost always the flashing — replacing the unit with a current-generation Velux deck-mount with a step-flashing kit solves it permanently.
