Skylight Repair & Installation in West Des Moines

Natural Light Without the Roof Headaches

Skylights make a home feel larger and brighter, but a failed seal or improper installation turns that natural light into a water problem fast. At Mighty Dog Roofing of Greater Des Moines, we handle skylight repair and installation as part of a complete roofing and exterior service, which means we look at the flashing, roofing, and drainage around the skylight, not just the unit itself. With over 20 years of industry experience, we’ve seen what happens when a skylight issue gets treated in isolation and the water just finds another way in.

West Des Moines homeowners get one point of contact for everything from a cracked lens to a full new installation. No juggling contractors.

Why West Des Moines Homeowners Choose Us for Skylight Work

Our standing as an Owens Corning® Roofing Platinum Preferred Contractor reflects the quality standards we hold across all of our exterior work, skylights included. We back every installation and repair with a five-year workmanship warranty, so you aren’t left wondering whether the fix is designed to hold through next spring’s storms.

A few things that make working with us straightforward:

• Drone-assisted roof inspections catch flashing gaps, lifted seals, and hail impacts that aren’t visible from the ground.
• Curb appeal visualizer lets you see how a new skylight placement will look before any work begins.
• Flexible financing options help spread the cost when a full replacement makes more sense than a repair.
• Emergency services are available when a sudden leak can’t wait for a scheduled appointment.

Skylight Installation Options for Your Home

Choosing the right skylight depends on your roof pitch, room layout, and how much light you want to bring in. We work with you to figure out placement, style, and type before anything goes on the roof. Free estimates are available for all new installations.

We install the following skylight types:

• Traditional Skylights for fixed or venting natural light in living spaces and bedrooms.
• Sun Tunnel® Skylights for channeling daylight into smaller rooms and hallways where a full skylight won’t fit.
• Roof Windows for attic conversions and spaces where you want both light and ventilation access.
• Commercial Skylights scaled for larger flat- or low-slope roof applications.
• Modular Skylights for custom configurations covering larger openings.
• Skylight Blinds to control light and heat gain once your skylight is in place.

Skylight Repairs We Handle in the West Des Moines Area

Central Iowa weather is hard on skylights. Heavy snow loads, spring hail, and the humidity swings that come with Iowa summers all stress the seals, flashing, and glazing that help keep a skylight watertight. Polk County homeowners tend to see the same problems come up year after year, and we fix all of them.

Common skylight problems we repair:

• Leaks traced to the skylight unit, the surrounding flashing, or both.
• Condensation forming on the inside of the glass.
• Fogging between panes, indicating a failed seal.
• Cracked Glass from impact or thermal stress.
• Flashing that has lifted, corroded, or was never properly set.
• Drafts from gaps in the curb or weatherstripping.
• Hail Damage to the glazing or frame.
• Opening & Closing Issues with venting skylight mechanisms.

What to Expect When You Reach Out

We start with a free consultation to understand what you’re seeing, whether that’s a water stain, a draft, or a skylight you’d like added to a renovation. From there, our team uses drone inspection technology to get a complete picture of the roof surface and surrounding components, catching issues that a ground-level walk-around can miss. You get a detailed estimate before any work is scheduled, and we can walk you through exactly what we found and what we’re recommending.
