Campus Corner homes sit right against the University of Oklahoma campus and see heavy use from students and long-time residents alike. Many houses here date from the 1950s through the 1970s with original skylights that crack or seal fail after repeated Norman thunderstorms. Norman Skylight Experts reaches these addresses quickly from our base at 17409 S Sooner Rd, bringing ladders and flashing stock sized for the tight lots along Asp Avenue and Boyd Street.
Warm humid summers followed by cold winters create constant expansion and contraction on skylight frames in this neighborhood. We focus on leak repair first, then full replacement only when the existing unit cannot be made watertight again. Every job includes checking the roof deck around the opening because the older asphalt shingles common on Campus Corner properties often need matching patches at the same time.
Access is usually straightforward from the street side, though some homes back up to Reaves Park and require extra care moving equipment across narrow driveways. We schedule around OU event days at nearby Lloyd Noble Center to avoid traffic delays.

Skylight Leak Repair in Campus Corner — Local Notes
- •Older wood-frame houses along Asp Avenue and Boyd Street often have skylights installed over finished attic spaces with limited headroom, requiring smaller replacement units.
- •Frequent spring thunderstorms dump water faster than the original curb flashings can handle, so we upgrade to larger step flashing and new counter flashing on every repair.
- •Tight lots near the campus mean we stage materials on the street and carry them by hand rather than using large equipment.
- •Winter freezes followed by rapid thaws in Cleveland County push water under old skylight seals, so we test every repaired unit with a hose before leaving the job.
