Why is skylight repair different in Central Austin?

Central Austin's older bungalow and ranch roofs see flashing failures as sealant and metal age past 15 to 20 years, and the mature oak canopy over neighborhoods like Allandale and Crestview means falling branches are a real cause of cracked glazing after storms. Historic-district homes in Hyde Park and Clarksville sometimes need repair work matched carefully to the original roofline for Certificate of Appropriateness compliance.

A full flashing kit replacement, needed when the metal step flashing itself has failed, runs $500 to $1,200 depending on your roofing material and pitch.

Is my skylight leaking or just condensing?

Condensation shows up as moisture on the inside of the glass, usually on cool mornings, and it's normal to some degree on any glazed surface. A real leak shows up as water staining, dripping, or a wet spot on the drywall around the light well, usually tied to rain events. If you're not sure which you have, the crew checks both during the inspection rather than guessing.
