Manchester Skylight Experts handles skylight leak repair on the older homes that line Notre Dame Avenue and the side streets around Notre Dame de Lourdes Church. These houses often date to the early 1900s with original or aging skylights that sit on steep pitches and take the full force of Hillsborough County winters. Snow piles up fast, ice dams form along the glass edges, and meltwater finds every weak seal, especially on the north-facing slopes common in this neighborhood.
We also perform full skylight replacement when leaks have already damaged framing or when homeowners want better-insulated units that handle Manchester’s freeze-thaw cycles. Our crew works from 1095 Elm St Ste 406 and schedules around the tight parking and narrow driveways typical of Notre Dame blocks. Every job starts with an on-site look at roof access, existing flashing, and how the skylight sits relative to nearby chimneys and valleys.
Service runs Monday through Friday 8am–6pm and Saturday 9am–2pm. We focus on keeping water out during the long snowy season while minimizing disruption to the dense residential streets between the church and the West Side edge of the neighborhood.

Skylight Leak Repair in Notre Dame — Local Notes
- •Many Notre Dame roofs are slate or asphalt over 80- to 100-year-old rafters; skylight replacement often requires sistering joists before new units go in.
- •Heavy snow load from Manchester’s humid continental winters pushes water under old skylight curbs, so we always check for ice-dam damage along the glass line.
- •Narrow lots and tight driveways limit ladder placement and material staging, so crews stage from the street and work in smaller lifts.
- •South-facing skylights near Notre Dame Avenue catch more melt cycles; we favor units with better thermal breaks to reduce condensation inside these older homes.
