Skylight Frame Repair Services in Chicago
We provide precise and thorough skylight frame repairs tailored to the specific needs of Chicago properties. Our process includes careful damage assessment, expert repair techniques, and the use of high-quality materials to ensure durability and weather resistance.
Assessment of Skylight Frame Damage
We start by inspecting every part of the skylight frame for signs of wear, corrosion, cracks, or warping. Damage can result from weather exposure, structural shifts, or improper installation.
During the assessment, we look for water damage and potential leakage points, which are often linked to frame issues. We use specialized tools to measure frame alignment and structural integrity.
This precise evaluation helps us create a targeted repair plan. We make sure to identify all affected areas to prevent recurring problems after repairs.
Professional Frame Repair Methods
Our repair techniques vary depending on the frame material—aluminum, wood, or vinyl—and the extent of the damage. For minor cracks or bends, we perform straightening, sealing, or reinforcement.
In cases of corrosion or rot, we carefully remove damaged sections and replace them without compromising the rest of the structure. We also reseal joints to restore watertight performance.
Our team uses industry-standard adhesives, fasteners, and finishing tools to maintain frame strength and appearance. Repairs are carried out to extend the lifespan of your skylight efficiently.
Quality Materials and Replacement Parts
We use materials that match or exceed the original frame specifications to ensure compatibility and longevity. Our selection includes corrosion-resistant metals, treated woods, and durable weatherproof coatings.
Replacement parts come from trusted suppliers with certifications for performance and compliance with Chicago building codes. This avoids issues related to poor fit or premature wear.

Frequently Asked Questions About Skylight Frame Repair
How much does skylight frame repair cost in Chicago?
Skylight frame repair in Chicago typically costs between $350 to $1,800, depending on the extent of damage and frame material. Minor repairs like hardware replacement or small section rebuilds are on the lower end, while extensive structural repairs or frame reinforcement projects cost more. Factors like frame accessibility, material compatibility, and Chicago's building code requirements for structural integrity also influence repair pricing.
Can you fix my damaged skylight frame without full replacement?
Yes, we can repair most damaged skylight frames without full replacement, provided the structural integrity isn't completely compromised. We can rebuild rotted sections in wood frames, weld and reinforce damaged aluminum frames, and replace individual frame components while preserving the existing glass and flashing systems. We thoroughly assess frame condition to determine if repair provides long-term value or if replacement would be more cost-effective.
What's included in a skylight frame repair quote?
Our frame repair quotes include damage assessment, removal of damaged frame sections, installation of new materials or reinforcement components, and restoration of proper operation for movable skylights. We also include any necessary hardware replacement, weatherstripping updates, resealing work, and cleanup. The quote covers all labor, materials, and testing to ensure the repaired frame functions properly and maintains weather protection.
How long does skylight frame repair take to complete?
Most skylight frame repairs are completed in 4-8 hours, depending on the repair complexity and frame material. Simple hardware fixes or minor section repairs can often be finished in half a day, while extensive structural repairs or multiple component replacement may require a full day. Weather conditions and the time needed for adhesives or finishes to cure properly can extend the timeline slightly.
Do you repair both wood and aluminum skylight frames?
Yes, we repair both wood and aluminum skylight frames using specialized techniques and materials appropriate for each frame type. Wood frame repairs include rot removal, structural reinforcement with treated lumber, and protective finishing to prevent future deterioration. Aluminum frame repairs involve welding, component replacement, and corrosion treatment using materials that match original specifications while providing enhanced durability for Chicago's climate conditions.
