Commercial roofing service
Clouded rooflights, cracked translucent panels and leaking curbs can reduce daylight and allow water into a commercial building. Total Cladding and Roofing reviews rooflights and roof openings in San Antonio for repair or replacement, including the connection to the surrounding roof.
The first question is where the water is coming from. A failed rooflight, a flashing defect and condensation need different solutions.

A drip that follows rainfall may come from a cracked unit, an open lap or the curb flashing. Moisture that appears during changing indoor or outdoor temperatures can have a different cause. We consider when the water appears and inspect both the unit and its roof connection before recommending work.
A replacement translucent sheet must fit the adjacent panel profile and support arrangement. For a curb-mounted skylight, the curb dimensions, height and surrounding flashing matter. A unit that fits the opening but does not connect correctly to the roof can leave the original leak unresolved.
An old rooflight may look solid from above while no longer being safe to load. Inspection and replacement need a planned access method and protection for people below. Do not walk onto a rooflight to examine a crack or blocked gutter.
Replace damaged sheets with a compatible profile and appropriate fixing details. Review the adjacent metal laps rather than treating the sheet in isolation.
Check the glazing or dome, frame, seals and curb flashing to identify the component that needs work.
Repair leaking flashings around rooftop equipment openings. Equipment removal or disconnection may need a separate mechanical contractor.
Close unused openings with a designed roof detail that restores support, insulation and weather protection rather than leaving an improvised cover.
The amount and distribution of roof glazing affect both daylight and heat gain. Replacing a cloudy panel can change light levels inside. For larger changes, the selected unit and glazing area need to fit the building’s lighting, thermal and safety requirements.
Removing a rooflight creates an opening above the building interior. The work area below may need to be isolated and covered. Let us know about production, stored goods and fixed equipment so access and temporary protection can be agreed before the unit is removed.
Size, roof height, panel profile, access and the number of units are key factors. Deteriorated curbs, wet insulation or damaged supports add work beyond replacing the visible rooflight. Grouping several aging units into one planned visit may change the access cost per unit.
A new rooflight still relies on sound adjacent panels and flashings. During a wider roof replacement, replacing old units at the same time can avoid disturbing new roofing later. If only one unit is being replaced, we assess the condition of the connections around it.

Frequently asked questions
Not always. The leak may be in the unit, frame, curb or surrounding flashing. Identifying the source determines the repair.
Yes. Moisture can form when indoor air reaches a cold surface. Leak timing and conditions help distinguish condensation from rainwater entry.
It needs a compatible profile and connection, not just the same width. Older products may require further identification before ordering.
Do not assume it can carry a person. Rooflights need appropriate access and fall protection arrangements for inspection and work.
The area below may need temporary isolation and protection because removal creates an opening through the roof.
They may change solar gain as well as daylight. Unit selection and glazed area need to suit the building's thermal and lighting requirements.
Yes, with a suitable detail that restores support, insulation and weather protection. A loose cover does not replace a complete roof connection.
We can review roof openings and associated flashings. Mechanical disconnection or alteration may require a separate equipment contractor.
Height, access, unit size, profile, quantity and the condition of the curb or adjacent roof all affect the work.
Photos from a safe location showing the unit and indoor concern. Include the address and whether the problem is damage, leakage or poor daylight.
Our business grew through roof and cladding refurbishment in the UK. That experience shapes the work we now offer from our Texas office.
We investigate the roof problem and explain what can be repaired, restored or replaced, so you can decide how to invest in the building.
We can coordinate roof, insulation, wall panel and drainage work, including the connections where separate repairs can leave problems behind.
We agree access, work areas and protection with your site team, including any restrictions needed while the roof is opened.
