A custom 13x13 skylight continues to leak despite repeated sealing efforts, and replacement quotes are prohibitively expensive.
Existing sealants fail repeatedly, and custom replacement skylights are too expensive. No affordable, durable solution exists for large skylight leaks.

App Concept
SkySeal Retrofit Panels
SkySeal Retrofit Panels are custom-sized, rigid polycarbonate panels with a integrated drainage frame that can be installed over existing leaky skylights. They provide a durable, sealed cover without the cost of full skylight replacement, using UV-stable materials and a sloped design to shed water effectively.
Key Features
- Custom sizing to fit any skylight dimensions up to 20 ft
- Integrated drainage frame with slope for water runoff
- UV-stabilized polycarbonate panels (clear or tinted)
- Pre-drilled mounting brackets with rubber gaskets
- DIY installation kit with step-by-step video guide
Target Users: Homeowners with large or odd-sized skylights experiencing persistent leaks who want a one-time fix affordable alternative to full replacement.
Revenue Model: $399-$799 per panel set (size-dependent) + $49 shipping, with future revenue from replacement gaskets and mounting kits.
