You know that sinking feeling when you spot water stains around your skylight again. Another storm, another leak, another cleanup. The truth is, most skylight repairs fail because contractors treat the symptoms instead of the actual problem.
Here’s what changes when we fix your skylight right. No more buckets catching drips during Long Island nor’easters. No more worrying about ceiling damage or mold growth threatening your $500,000+ Aquebogue investment. No more watching your energy bills climb because your skylight isn’t sealing properly.
Your home stays dry, your stress disappears, and you get back to enjoying the natural light your skylight was meant to provide. That’s the difference between a quick patch job and professional skylight repair that lasts.
SkyLuxe Construction has been solving Suffolk County’s toughest skylight problems for years. We’re the family-owned company your Aquebogue neighbors call when they’re tired of temporary fixes and ready for permanent solutions.
We understand Long Island’s weather patterns, from nor’easters that test every seal to summer storms that expose weak flashing. We know how salt air from the Sound affects different skylight brands and which materials hold up in our climate.
When you choose us, you’re working with contractors who live here, work here, and stake our reputation on every job. We’re not the cheapest option in Aquebogue – we’re the one that gets it right the first time so you don’t need us again for years.
First, we inspect everything – not just the obvious problem areas. Most skylight leaks aren’t where you think they are. We check the flashing, seals, glass condition, weep holes, and surrounding roof area to find the real source of your problem.
Next, we explain exactly what’s wrong and why it happened. No technical jargon, no upselling – just straight talk about what needs to happen to stop your leak permanently. You’ll know the cost upfront before any work begins.
Then we fix it using the right materials for your specific skylight brand and Suffolk County’s demanding climate. Whether it’s Velux, Pella, or another manufacturer, we know their common failure points and how to address them properly. The repair comes with our guarantee, and we clean up completely when we’re done.

Your skylight repair includes complete diagnostic inspection, professional-grade materials, and guaranteed workmanship. We handle everything from simple seal replacement to complex flashing reconstruction and emergency leak fixes.
In Aquebogue’s climate, skylights face unique challenges. Salt air from nearby Peconic Bay accelerates corrosion of metal components. Temperature swings between seasons stress seals and frames. Seasonal storms test every weak point. We factor in these local conditions when selecting materials and repair methods.
You’ll also get maintenance recommendations specific to your skylight type and age. Most skylight issues are preventable with proper care, and we’ll show you what to watch for between professional inspections. Our goal isn’t just fixing today’s problem – it’s preventing the next one.
If you see water stains, feel drafts, or notice condensation buildup around your skylight, it’s time for professional attention. Many Aquebogue homeowners try DIY fixes with caulk or roofing cement, but these rarely work long-term because they don’t address the root cause.
The real issue is usually deeper – damaged flashing, failed seals between glass panels, blocked weep holes, or problems with the skylight frame itself. We see this constantly in Suffolk County homes. What looks like a simple leak often involves multiple failure points that require proper diagnosis and professional-grade materials to fix permanently.
Don’t wait until water damage spreads to your ceiling or walls. Early intervention saves money and prevents bigger problems that could affect your home’s value and your family’s health.
Three out of four skylight leaks we repair stem from the skylight unit itself, not just the flashing around it. This surprises most homeowners who assume it’s always a roofing issue.
Common causes include deteriorated seals between glass panels, cracked skylight frames, blocked weep holes that can’t drain properly, and manufacturing defects that show up after several years of Long Island weather exposure. Different brands fail in different ways – Velux skylights have different weak points than Pella or Anderson units.
Suffolk County’s coastal climate makes these problems worse. Our temperature swings cause expansion and contraction that stress seals and frames. Salt air from the Sound accelerates corrosion of metal components. Understanding these local factors is crucial for repairs that actually last.
Professional skylight repairs should last 10-15 years minimum when done correctly with quality materials. However, the lifespan depends heavily on the repair method and materials used for our specific climate conditions.
Quick fixes with generic caulk or roofing cement typically fail within 1-2 years, especially in our salt air environment. Proper repairs using manufacturer-specific parts and marine-grade sealants designed for coastal conditions perform much better. We warranty our labor for up to 10 years because we’re confident in our methods and materials.
The key is addressing all failure points during the initial repair, not just the obvious ones. Half-measures lead to callbacks and frustrated homeowners dealing with the same leak repeatedly. We’d rather invest time doing it right the first time than see you again next year for the same problem.
Yes, we work on all major skylight brands including Velux, Pella, Anderson, Wasco, and older brands like Insuladome and Thermovue. Each manufacturer has different design quirks and common failure points that require specific knowledge and techniques.
For example, Velux skylights often develop issues with their flashing system integration, while older Insuladome units commonly have problems with their dome sealing and weep hole drainage. We keep manufacturer-specific parts in stock for the most common repairs and can source specialized components when needed.
Some contractors avoid certain brands or try to use generic parts that don’t fit properly. We believe in fixing skylights the right way, which means using the correct parts and proven techniques for each specific unit, regardless of age or manufacturer.
Absolutely. Skylight leaks don’t wait for convenient times, and water damage gets exponentially worse with each passing hour. We provide same-day emergency service for urgent situations where water is actively entering your Aquebogue home.
Emergency repairs focus on stopping immediate water intrusion and preventing further damage to your ceilings, walls, and belongings. This might involve temporary weatherproofing while we order proper replacement parts, or it could be a complete permanent repair if we have the necessary materials on hand.
We understand that skylight emergencies are stressful, especially during storms when other contractors might not be available. That’s why we maintain emergency response capability and keep common repair materials in stock for quick deployment throughout Suffolk County.
Repair makes sense when the skylight frame and glass are structurally sound but seals, flashing, or minor components have failed. Replacement is necessary when the skylight itself is cracked, severely warped, or has multiple failure points that make repair uneconomical.
Most skylight problems we encounter in Aquebogue homes can be repaired effectively and economically. Complete replacement is typically needed only for skylights over 20 years old, severely storm-damaged units, or cases where homeowners want to upgrade to more energy-efficient models with better insulation properties.
We’ll always give you honest advice about repair versus replacement based on your skylight’s condition and your long-term goals. Sometimes investing in a quality repair buys you many more years of reliable service. Other times, replacement makes more financial sense for your situation and budget.
