My Research On Bellevue Skylight Repair ServicesRoyal Glass Co 1216 S Weller St, Seattle, WA 98144, 206-324-1340 Comment: very good and professional service. Price is quite affordable, highly recommend! Glass Doctor 402 Baker Blvd, Tukwila, WA, 98188, 1-800-965-4147 Comment: This company is said to have good service. So I asked they for a free quote. The guy came and after looking at the broken skylight window, he quoted about $600 to get it replaced. Bellevue Roofing 13212 N.E. 16th Street #3, Bellevue, WA 98005, 425-746-9867 Comment: I see quite some people had very nice reviews on them for the repair, replace or seal an existing skylights. But I haven't got time yet to call them up for a quote yet. It appears to me that probably not cheap either. Mings Glass 6761 Martin Luther King Jr Way S, Seattle WA 98118, 206-722-8662 Comment: They offer window glass repair, recommended by some friends. But I don't know if they would repair skylight, probably yes. Bellevue WA Skylight Companies Registered with BBB For skylight repair, I think it is best to check the company on Better Business Bureau to see if they are creditable. I also asked Home Depot and Lowes, unfortunately, they don't do skylight repair or replacement. They mentioned that I need to find a handyman for that. It turns out that some handyman listed on Bellevue Contractor List could do the work. Lastly, I also asked my home insurance company if they would cover the skylight repair expense. They said that they would only reimburse the glass replacement for up to $1000. So there are couple of options I still need to further investigate. But overall, the hole was on the outer-layer of the skylight, the inner layer is still ok. Short-term wise, there is no danger of water leakage.

| You might want to put some transparent sealant to cover the hole for now. | |

| @lb, Thanks for your suggestion. I didn't realize that replacing just one skylight window is costing that much of money. For now I will probably get by with a temporary fix. By the way, according to the previous owner of my house, the skylight is a standard item from home depot or lowes, so, I might just do the installation myself. | |

| let me know if you need help. You probably want to wait until next summer, it takes more than a day for the roof to dry. It is very slippery when it's wet. | |

| @lb, Thanks so much! You brought up a very good point, I haven't considered the roof being slippery. | |

| I finally got in contact with Royal Glass Co at the recommendation of a friend. They were able to come in and do an appraisal. I am happily surprised that they could replace the glass only. So, I got them to do that and it only cost $230. Had I went with the full skylight replacement, that would be MUCH expensive, easily could be $600. | |
