A properly repaired skylight means no more water stains on your ceiling. No more buckets catching drips during storms. No more worrying about mold growing in your walls.
You get back to enjoying natural light without the constant stress of wondering when the next leak will start. Your home stays dry, your belongings stay safe, and you stop throwing money at temporary fixes that never work.
When we finish your skylight repair, you’ll have a watertight seal that handles whatever Bay Wood weather throws at it. That’s what decades of Suffolk County experience delivers.
SkyLuxe Construction has been fixing Suffolk County skylights since before most companies even existed. Three generations of family knowledge means we’ve seen every possible skylight problem Bay Wood homes can develop.
We’re not the guys who show up, slap some caulk around the edges, and call it fixed. We dig into why your skylight is leaking in the first place. Bad flashing? We replace it properly. Worn seals? We use materials that actually last in Long Island weather.
Every repair comes with our family’s reputation behind it. When your neighbors ask who fixed your skylight leak for good, you’ll have a name you’re proud to recommend.
First, we inspect your skylight from both inside and outside your home. We’re looking for the real problem, not just the obvious symptoms. Most leaks aren’t where you think they are.
Next, we explain exactly what’s wrong and what it’ll take to fix it permanently. No surprises, no upselling. Just straight talk about what your skylight needs.
Then we get to work with the right materials and proven techniques. We replace damaged flashing, reseal glass properly, and make sure water has no way to sneak past our repairs. When we’re done, we clean up completely and show you exactly what we fixed so you understand why this repair will last.

We handle everything from simple resealing to complete skylight replacement. Cracked glass, damaged flashing, foggy double-pane units, broken opening mechanisms – if it’s part of your skylight, we know how to fix it.
Bay Wood homes deal with specific challenges other areas don’t face. The salt air, temperature swings, and storm patterns here put unique stress on skylights. We’ve been working in these conditions for decades, so we know which materials and techniques actually hold up.
You’re not getting a cookie-cutter repair job. Every skylight repair is customized for your specific home, your specific problem, and Bay Wood’s specific weather patterns. That’s why our repairs last while others fail within a year or two.
Most skylight repairs in Bay Wood run between $450 and $1,000, depending on what’s actually wrong. A simple resealing job costs less than replacing damaged flashing or cracked glass.
The real question isn’t what repair costs – it’s what happens if you don’t fix it. Water damage from a leaking skylight can easily cost thousands in ceiling repairs, wall damage, and mold remediation.
We always give you an honest assessment upfront. If your skylight can be repaired cost-effectively, we’ll tell you. If replacement makes more sense, we’ll explain why. No games, no pressure – just the facts you need to make the right decision for your home and budget.
The biggest culprit is damaged or improperly installed flashing around the skylight frame. Flashing is the metal barrier that directs water away from the opening, and it takes a beating from Long Island weather.
Worn seals around the glass are another common problem. The constant temperature changes we get here cause materials to expand and contract, eventually breaking down the watertight seal.
Sometimes the problem isn’t even the skylight itself – it’s how water flows across your roof. Poor drainage, clogged gutters, or damaged shingles nearby can force water to find its way past even good flashing. That’s why we always inspect the whole area, not just the skylight.
Fogging between glass panes means the sealed unit has failed and moisture is getting inside where it shouldn’t be. This isn’t something you can fix with a simple repair – the glass unit needs to be replaced.
The good news is we can usually replace just the glass without tearing apart your whole skylight. We measure your existing frame and order a new sealed glass unit that fits perfectly.
Condensation on the inside of your skylight is different – that’s usually a ventilation or insulation problem. We can identify what’s causing moisture to build up and recommend solutions that actually work, whether that’s improving attic ventilation or adjusting how the skylight is insulated.
A properly done skylight repair should last 15-20 years minimum, even with Bay Wood’s challenging weather conditions. The key is using the right materials and techniques for Long Island’s climate.
Cheap fixes with standard caulk or basic flashing materials might hold for a year or two, but they’ll fail when the next big storm hits. We use marine-grade sealants and properly sized flashing that’s designed to handle salt air and temperature extremes.
The repairs that fail quickly are usually done by contractors who don’t understand how water behaves on Long Island roofs. We’ve been fixing skylights here for decades, so we know which approaches actually work long-term versus which ones just look good for a few months.
Yes, we handle emergency skylight repairs when storms damage your skylight or when a leak suddenly gets much worse. We understand that water coming into your home can’t wait for regular business hours.
For true emergencies, we can do temporary weatherproofing to stop immediate water damage, then come back to do the permanent repair when conditions allow. This protects your home and gives you time to make informed decisions about the best long-term fix.
Keep in mind that emergency repairs often cost more than planned work, and weather conditions might limit what we can do safely. But we’ll always do whatever it takes to protect your home from further damage while we work toward a permanent solution.
If your skylight is less than 15 years old and the frame is in good condition, repair usually makes sense. Problems with flashing, seals, or minor glass damage can be fixed cost-effectively.
But if your skylight is older, has multiple problems, or has been repaired before without success, replacement often ends up being the smarter investment. Old skylights with outdated designs or materials will just keep causing problems no matter how many times you patch them.
We’ll give you an honest assessment of your skylight’s condition and life expectancy. Sometimes spending a little more upfront on replacement saves you from repeated repair costs and ongoing headaches. Other times, a targeted repair gives you years more life at a fraction of replacement cost.
