kylight Maintenance – Annual Inspection, Cleaning & Tune-Up Service

Keep Your Skylight Performing Like New

Even high-quality VELUX skylights need periodic maintenance to stay clear, efficient, and leak-free.
Over time, dirt, dust, debris, and weather exposure can affect performance.

Typical signs your skylight needs maintenance:

  • Skylight looks dull or dirty

  • Dust or spider webs inside the shaft

  • Light is noticeably dimmer

  • Small drafts appear in winter

  • Debris buildup around flashing

  • Shade fabric becomes dusty or uneven

  • Condensation forms more often

  • Skylight motor sounds louder than before

Regular maintenance helps avoid future leaks, noisy operation, and expensive repairs.

What’s Included in Our Skylight Maintenance Service

✔️ Full Exterior Skylight Cleaning

We clean glass, frames, and exterior components to restore clarity and daylight.

✔️ Interior Glass & Shaft Cleaning

Removes dust, streaks, and buildup inside the light well.

✔️ Flashing & Roof Integration Check

We inspect the surrounding roof materials to prevent water intrusion.

  • look for lifted shingles or tiles

  • examine caulking and membrane layers

  • check for early signs of water damage

✔️ Seal Inspection

We check all visible seals for:

  • cracks

  • UV damage

  • shrinkage

  • age-related wear

Weak seals often cause the first signs of leaks.

✔️ Motor & Chain Lubrication (for Operable Skylights)

We inspect and lubricate:

  • chain mechanisms

  • hinges

  • moving hardware

This reduces noise and ensures smooth operation.

✔️ Solar Panel Cleaning (for Solar Models)

Dust or tree debris reduces charging efficiency.
A clean solar panel dramatically improves motor response.

✔️ Shade Health Check

For both solar and manual shades:

  • clean fabric

  • check alignment

  • test the motor

  • ensure remote pairing

  • verify battery charge

✔️ Condensation Prevention Check

We identify weak insulation points that can cause interior moisture buildup.

Why Skylight Maintenance Matters

Regular service:

  • extends skylight lifespan

  • prevents leaks before they start

  • keeps the skylight bright

  • improves indoor comfort

  • helps motors run smoother and quieter

  • reduces long-term repair costs

  • protects drywall and paint around the shaft

A small tune-up once a year can prevent thousands of dollars of roof damage later.

When You Should Schedule Maintenance

We recommend:

  • annual tune-up for all skylights

  • twice per year if your home is under trees

  • immediately after major storms or roof work

  • after installing solar panels or HVAC roof penetrations
