A Windsor Skylight Leaks in Wind-Driven Rain: What Should Be Checked?
Separate the skylight unit, flashing and surrounding roof when investigating moisture around a Windsor skylight.
Read the guideFlashing protects the places where a roof changes direction or meets another surface. Mario Contreras Roofing repairs roof flashing around penetrations, walls, valleys, and roof edges in Santa Rosa and throughout Sonoma County.

A roof can have shingles that look serviceable while a nearby transition allows water in. Pipe penetrations, roof-to-wall intersections, valleys, and other details each need a connection suited to the roofing materials and the way water flows across the surface.
We assess the visible flashing and surrounding roofing rather than assuming one exposed seam explains the whole problem. Rust, displaced components, previous patching, and damaged material nearby can affect whether a local repair or replacement of the detail makes sense.
Some flashing repairs require lifting or removing adjacent roofing so the new work can connect to the underlying layers. A bead of sealant on the exposed surface is not automatically an equivalent repair. Ask which parts will be reused, which will be replaced, and how the surrounding material will be restored.
If you have interior water stains, tell us their location and when they appear. Chimney and skylight leaks may need a more specific assessment of those assemblies. We connect that information with the exterior condition before recommending the scope.
No. The appropriate repair depends on the failed detail. It may involve replacing flashing and working beneath adjacent roofing. Sealant is only suitable where the roof system and the specific detail call for it.
Based in Santa Rosa, we also serve Windsor, Rohnert Park, Petaluma, and communities throughout Sonoma County.
