★★★★★ 5.0 on Google (48 reviews) · GAF Certified™ · Fully insured ($2M liability) · Photo documentation on every job
Most skylight leaks aren’t the glass—they’re the flashing around it. Iron Badger Roofing replaces and installs skylights in South Portland, Maine with the roof details done right: proper underlayment, step flashing, and a clean tie-in to your existing roof. We’re owner-operated, so you deal directly with the person who looks at your roof and explains the options.
We install VELUX skylights as our preferred brand, including options with built-in blinds and solar-powered openers, plus VELUX Sun Tunnels for hallways, bathrooms, and other spots that need natural light without a full skylight.
Skylight Work We Do
- Skylight replacement (leaking, fogged, cracked, or outdated units)
- New skylight installation
- Re-flashing an existing skylight that leaks
- VELUX Sun Tunnels (tubular skylights)
- Deck-mounted and curb-mounted skylights, depending on the roof and the unit
- Roof windows, reviewed case-by-case before we commit to scope
Skylight-Only Job or Part of a Reroof?
Both work. Replacing a skylight during a roof replacement is often the cleanest option because the flashing and underlayment are already opened up. But you don’t need a new roof to fix a skylight—we take skylight-only jobs too, and we’ll tell you plainly if the roof around it is in good enough shape for a targeted repair.

Common Skylight Problems We See in South Portland
South Portland’s mix of older homes, coastal wind, and winter freeze/thaw is hard on skylight flashing. Common calls include:
- Water stains or drips around the skylight frame
- Leaks that only show up in wind-driven rain or during snowmelt
- Fogging between the panes (failed seal)
- Ice building up on the uphill side of the skylight
- Old self-flashing or caulk-only skylights that were never properly flashed
Workmanship Warranty
Skylight work on an existing roof carries our 5-year workmanship and leak warranty on the roofing and flashing work. The skylight unit itself is covered separately by the manufacturer’s warranty. Your exact terms are confirmed in writing with your quote/contract.

Skylight FAQ
Why does my skylight leak only sometimes?
Leaks that show up only in heavy, wind-driven rain or during snowmelt usually point to flashing, not the glass. Water gets past worn step flashing or an old sealant joint when it’s pushed sideways or backs up behind ice.
Should I replace my skylight when I replace my roof?
Often, yes—especially if the skylight is older. Replacing it while the roof is open means new flashing and underlayment go in together, instead of tying a new roof into old skylight flashing.
Can you install a skylight where there isn’t one now?
Yes. We’ll check the framing, roof pitch, and what’s above the ceiling before recommending a size and type. For tight spaces, a Sun Tunnel can be a simpler option.
Do you do skylight installation in South Portland?
Yes. We handle new skylight installation in South Portland, ME—deck-mounted and curb-mounted units, plus VELUX Sun Tunnels. After looking at your roof and framing, we’ll confirm the right size, type, and flashing approach before any work is scheduled.
Do you work with brands other than VELUX?
VELUX is our preferred brand. If you already have a different unit or a specific product in mind, ask and we’ll tell you honestly whether it’s a good fit for your roof.
