A skylight repair or replacement will depend on the type of skylight and how severe the damage. If there is a hole in the middle of the skylight, repairing it is probably not possible, but having a professional inspection of the skylight and the roof is recommended.

There are several ways a skylight gets cracked or damaged, the two most common reasons are hailstones and tree branches. During a thunderstorm with high winds, flying debris can land on a skylight, and fluctuating temperatures that cause the roof and house to shift can crack a skylight. Because a skylight is exposed to the sun all day, every day, the glass, or acrylic becomes weak and cracks.
