When your skylight stops leaking, you stop worrying. No more buckets catching drips. No more stains spreading across your ceiling. No more wondering if that water is rotting your roof structure or growing mold behind your walls.
You get back to enjoying the natural light your skylight was meant to provide. Your heating bills stay reasonable because conditioned air isn’t escaping through damaged seals. Your home maintains its value instead of losing equity to water damage.
Most importantly, you sleep better knowing your Amagansett property is protected by repairs that actually work—not the tar-and-pray approach that fails when the next nor’easter hits.
We’ve been fixing skylights in Suffolk County homes since before most contractors knew what proper flashing looked like. We’re the family business your Amagansett neighbors call when their skylights start leaking—again.
Here’s what three decades of local experience teaches you: most skylight leaks aren’t caused by bad weather. They’re caused by contractors who don’t understand how skylights actually work with Long Island’s coastal conditions and older home construction.
We know which skylight brands were popular in different decades. We understand how salt air affects flashing. We’ve seen every botched repair job imaginable, and we know how to fix them permanently.
First, we find the real problem. That water stain on your ceiling? It might be coming from damaged flashing three feet away from your skylight. Most contractors just look at the obvious spot and start applying caulk. We trace the water to its actual source.
Then we explain what’s actually wrong and what it takes to fix it permanently. No technical jargon, no upselling, just straight talk about what needs to happen and what it costs.
Finally, we make the repair using materials and techniques that work with your specific skylight brand and roof type. We don’t use tar. We don’t use generic caulk from Home Depot. We use the right parts, installed the right way, so you don’t have to deal with this problem again.

We fix everything skylight-related. Cracked glass from hail damage. Foggy double-pane units that block your view. Flashing that’s pulling away from your roof. Venting skylights that won’t open or close. Even those old bubble skylights that everyone says can’t be repaired.
Amagansett’s coastal location creates specific challenges other areas don’t face. Salt air corrodes metal components faster. Temperature swings between summer heat and winter cold stress seals and glass. Nor’easters test every connection point.
Our repairs account for these local conditions. We use marine-grade sealants where appropriate. We inspect surrounding roof areas for salt damage. We provide maintenance schedules based on local weather patterns, not generic manufacturer recommendations.
Most skylight repairs run $450 to $1,000, depending on what’s actually broken. Simple resealing jobs are on the lower end. Glass replacement or extensive flashing work costs more but still beats the $3,000-$5,000 you’d pay for complete skylight replacement.
Here’s the thing about repair costs: the longer you wait, the more expensive it gets. That small leak that just needs new flashing today becomes a major interior renovation project if you ignore it for six months.
We give you honest pricing upfront. No surprise charges, no “while we’re here” upselling. Just straight numbers for the work that actually needs doing.
Poor contractor work causes more skylight leaks than storms, age, and manufacturing defects combined. We fix “repairs” done with roofing tar, bathroom caulk, and duct tape every single week. These Band-Aid fixes actually make leaks worse by trapping water in places it can’t escape.
Age matters too, especially for skylights installed in the 1980s and 1990s when many Amagansett homes were built. Seals deteriorate, flashing corrodes, and glass units can fail. Coastal conditions accelerate this process.
Storm damage happens, but it’s usually not the skylight itself that fails—it’s the connection between skylight and roof that gets compromised when shingles blow off or flashing gets damaged.
Yes, we provide emergency skylight leak repair even during active storms. Water doesn’t wait for good weather, and neither do we. We can often provide immediate weatherproofing to stop active leaks, then return to complete permanent repairs when conditions improve.
Emergency repairs focus on stopping water damage right now. We might use temporary materials to get you through the storm, but we always follow up with permanent solutions that address the underlying problem.
Our emergency service covers all of Suffolk County, and we understand that skylight leaks in expensive Amagansett homes can cause thousands of dollars in interior damage very quickly.
Proper skylight repairs typically last 10-15 years or longer when done with correct materials and techniques. Flashing repairs often last as long as your roof. Glass replacement can last the life of the skylight. Even resealing work should give you many years of trouble-free performance.
The key word is “proper.” Repairs done with tar, generic caulk, or wrong materials fail quickly—sometimes within months. That’s why we use manufacturer-approved parts and proven installation methods, not whatever’s cheapest.
We also provide maintenance recommendations specific to your skylight type and local conditions, so you know what to watch for and when to call for preventive service.
If your skylights are over 20 years old, replacement during roof work usually makes financial sense. You’re installing a roof that should last 30-50 years, so having skylights that can go the distance makes sense.
Newer skylights in good condition can often be properly integrated with new roofing. The critical factor is flashing condition and ensuring the skylight doesn’t get damaged during the roofing process—which happens more often than you’d think.
We can evaluate your skylights before roof work starts and give you honest advice about repair versus replacement. Sometimes a perfectly good skylight starts leaking after a roof replacement because the work wasn’t done carefully.
We repair every major skylight brand including Velux, Wasco, Pella, Anderson, and older discontinued brands like Insuladome, Thermovue, and Ventorama. Each manufacturer has different design quirks and common failure points, so brand-specific experience matters.
Fixed skylights, venting skylights, tubular skylights, solar-powered units—we handle them all. Whether it’s a simple seal replacement, cracked glass, or broken motor mechanism on a venting unit, we have the parts access and technical knowledge to fix it right.
Many Amagansett homes have unusual or discontinued skylight models that other contractors won’t touch. We often repair skylights when others insist replacement is the only option, saving homeowners thousands of dollars.
