Class 4 Impact-Rated Steel
A leaking skylight gets blamed on the skylight unit far more often than it deserves. The actual point of failure in the overwhelming majority of skylight leaks is the flashing around the opening, not the glass or frame itself. Step flashing that wasn’t properly layered, underlayment that doesn’t extend far enough, or sealant that’s degraded under UV exposure all create entry points for water that have nothing to do with the skylight’s own construction.
Ark diagnoses the actual source of a skylight leak before recommending any repair, because patching the wrong component doesn’t fix the problem.
The VELUX Certified Installer training includes diagnosing flashing failures specific to VELUX systems, which is often where a non-certified installer’s repair attempt falls short, patching the symptom without correctly addressing VELUX’s specific flashing requirements.
The combination of intense UV exposure, hail impact, and dramatic seasonal temperature swings accelerates flashing and sealant failure around skylight openings faster than in milder climates. A skylight that was installed correctly five years ago in a different climate might still be holding up fine. In Central Texas, the same installation quality issue tends to surface sooner.
Wind-driven rain, hail impact, UV-degraded sealant, and improperly layered step flashing all leave different signatures on a skylight. Skipping the diagnostic step and going straight to a re-seal or a full replacement almost guarantees the leak comes back on a slightly different timeline. Ark’s process identifies the actual entry point first, then matches the repair to what the inspection shows.
Every project starts with a documented inspection of your roof, exterior, and attic. You receive the full report before any recommendation is made.

Ark not only replaced my roof, they totally redone my home's exterior. The best-looking work I have ever had done. Nice to have a local Georgetown business right up the road.
The company president is personally committed to excellence from start to finish. He conducted a detailed survey, including an inspection from inside the attic and a drone overview. One of the best experiences we have ever had with a contractor.
Luke and his team were very professional and good at communicating throughout the whole process. They took care of everything and made the work pretty painless. Don't hesitate to give them a chance.
