I had been dealing with a leaking skylight throughout the year and got used to having a bucket in the hallway for when a storm was upon us. Not being the owner at the time of the installation, I found out the skylight was at least 10 years old through a neighbor.
I had called a roofing company to take a look at it but they said that sealing the crack would be sufficient and the job is too small for them to handle and it call a general contractor.
I put it off but did notice the crack getting bigger and knew something had to be done.
I found Skylights unlimited and gave them a call. They came over, went on top of my roof and told me it needed to be replaced. In their estimate, they provided me with an updated skylight and would create a slope during the installation to make leakages and puddling less likely.
Waiting for the skylight to be ordered unfortunately took the longest and was the delay but I didn't expect them to carry inventory so I knew I had to be patient.
Luckily, the skylight arrived before my big summer trip and it got installed over the course of a few hours in the day.
Being a north-fronting house, we normally don't get a lot of natural sunlight but the new skylight makes the hallway a lot brighter during the day.

Hello........thanks for your feedback! We appreciate your patience in waiting for delivery of your skylight.....sometimes if a skylight is customized it does take a little longer to be delivered. Our crew did mention that the hallway looks so amazing now with all the bright sunshine entering the area. I'm sure you will enjoy your skylight, for many more years to come. All the best, Susan
