South Fort Collins neighborhoods around Drake Road and College Avenue feature many 1980s and 1990s ranch homes with original skylights that leak during spring snow melt. Cold winter nights followed by warm days cause repeated expansion and contraction that breaks seals on older units. Fort Collins Skylight Experts reaches these streets quickly from our base at 1093 W Elizabeth St to stop water before it reaches ceilings.
Access via Harmony Road and South College often means working around mature trees and narrow side yards common in Prospect Park and nearby subdivisions. We schedule most jobs between 8am and 6pm weekdays or 9am to 2pm Saturdays so residents can stay home while we work. Our crews know which south-facing roofs here get the heaviest sun exposure and which ones sit in wind channels off the plains.
Nearby Loveland and Windsor customers sometimes cross into South Fort Collins for the same service because the housing stock and weather patterns match. We focus on precise flashing work that matches the roof pitch and membrane types already on these homes.

Skylight Leak Repair in South Fort Collins — Local Notes
- •Many South Fort Collins lots sit on slight grades that direct snowmelt toward skylight curbs, so we often add custom cricket diverters during replacement.
- •Ranch homes from the 1980s-1990s here frequently have curb-mounted skylights that sit too low for current code; we raise them during leak repairs to improve drainage.
- •Freeze-thaw cycles hit harder along the western edge near Cathy Fromme Prairie where wind strips snow unevenly and leaves ice dams on north skylights.
- •Narrow driveways off streets like Stover and Lemay require smaller equipment and careful staging so we do not block neighbors during multi-day replacement jobs.
