Picture this: the next big Suffolk County storm hits, and you’re not scrambling for buckets or towels. You’re not stressing about water stains spreading across your ceiling or wondering if that drip is going to turn into a flood.
Your skylight works exactly like it should – flooding your home with beautiful natural light while keeping every drop of rain outside where it belongs. Your energy bills stay reasonable because you’re not losing heated or cooled air through gaps and cracks.
Most importantly, you’re done dealing with this problem. When we fix your skylight in Brentwood, it stays fixed – not just until the next storm, but for years to come.
SkyLuxe Construction Inc isn’t just another roofing company that “also does skylights.” We’re Suffolk County skylight specialists who’ve been solving these exact problems for Brentwood homeowners for decades.
We know what Long Island weather does to skylights. Those brutal freeze-thaw cycles that crack seals every winter. The summer storms that test every weak point in your skylight’s defenses. The humidity that fogs up double-pane units and the ice that builds up around flashing.
Here’s what makes us different: we fix the actual problem, not just what you can see from inside your house. While other contractors are caulking around the edges and hoping for the best, we’re up on your roof finding exactly where water is getting in and fixing it permanently.
We start where the problem actually is – on your roof. Most skylight leaks aren’t visible from inside your house, so we inspect the flashing, seals, and surrounding roofing materials to find exactly where water is getting in.
Then we explain what we found in plain English. No confusing technical terms, no pressure to buy services you don’t need. Just a straight explanation of what’s wrong and exactly what it’ll take to fix it permanently.
The repair itself depends on what we discover, but most Suffolk County skylight problems can be solved in a few hours. We might need to replace deteriorated flashing, reseal glass units, or repair damage around the skylight frame. Whatever it takes, we use materials specifically chosen to handle Brentwood’s weather extremes.
Before we pack up, we test everything thoroughly. We don’t just hope the repair works – we make sure it works, and we guarantee it stays working.

We handle every type of skylight issue Suffolk County homeowners face. Leaking flashing, cracked glass, fogged double-pane units, broken seals, skylights that won’t open or close, emergency storm damage – if it involves a skylight, we can fix it.
Brentwood’s climate is particularly tough on skylights. Winter temperatures that drop into the teens followed by spring days in the 70s cause constant expansion and contraction that breaks seals and creates gaps. Summer thunderstorms dump inches of rain in minutes, testing every weak point in your skylight’s defenses.
That’s why we don’t use generic repair materials. Everything we install is specifically chosen for Long Island’s weather patterns. Our repairs aren’t just designed to work today – they’re engineered to handle the temperature swings, heavy rains, ice storms, and humidity that make Suffolk County challenging for skylights. We’re fixing your problem for the long term, not just until the next season.
Most skylight repairs in Suffolk County run between $450 and $1,000, depending on what needs to be fixed. Simple resealing or minor flashing repairs are on the lower end, while jobs involving glass replacement or major flashing work cost more.
Here’s the important part: most skylight problems can be repaired rather than replaced entirely. Full skylight replacement typically costs 3-4 times the price of the unit itself when you factor in labor, interior work, and materials. We always look for repair solutions first and only recommend replacement when it truly makes financial sense for your situation.
We provide detailed, written estimates before any work begins, so you know exactly what you’re paying for. No surprise charges, no hidden fees, no pressure to approve work on the spot.
Flashing problems cause about 80% of skylight leaks we see in Brentwood. Flashing is the metal barrier that seals the gap between your skylight and roof, and Suffolk County’s freeze-thaw cycles are brutal on these materials. When flashing cracks, separates, or corrodes, water finds its way in.
Poor original installation is another major cause. Skylights are actually the most leak-prone windows in your home if they weren’t installed correctly from the start. We regularly see shortcuts taken during installation that create problems 5-10 years later – improper flashing, inadequate sealing, or skylights installed without proper slope for drainage.
Normal aging also plays a role. Even perfectly installed skylights need maintenance as seals deteriorate, caulking shrinks, and materials break down from constant exposure to Long Island’s weather extremes.
Yes, in most cases. We stock common skylight repair materials and can complete typical leak repairs within 2-4 hours of arrival. For genuine emergencies – like skylights actively leaking during storms – we provide 24/7 service to Brentwood and surrounding Suffolk County areas.
Certain repairs require ordering specific parts, especially for newer skylight models or unusual sizes. When that happens, we can usually provide temporary weatherproofing to stop the leak immediately while parts are ordered. We understand that skylight leaks can’t wait – water damage gets exponentially worse every day it’s left unaddressed.
Our goal is always to get your skylight watertight as quickly as possible, then follow up with permanent repairs using the right materials for your specific situation.
Properly executed skylight repairs using quality materials should last 10-15 years or more in Suffolk County’s climate. We guarantee all our work and use materials specifically engineered for Long Island’s weather challenges – the freeze-thaw cycles, heavy rains, humidity, and temperature extremes.
The key difference is fixing the root cause rather than just treating symptoms. Many “repairs” fail within 1-2 years because they only address what’s visible from inside – water stains or active drips – without solving what’s actually allowing water penetration from outside.
We also recommend annual inspections, particularly after severe weather events. Catching small issues early prevents them from becoming major leaks requiring extensive interior repairs. Prevention is always less expensive than emergency fixes.
Absolutely. We repair every skylight type found in Suffolk County homes – fixed, vented, tubular, flat, domed, pyramid, and custom configurations. We work with all major brands including Velux, Andersen, CrystaLite, and even older models no longer in production.
Each skylight type has characteristic failure points we know how to address. Vented skylights often develop motor problems or seal failures around moving parts. Flat skylights are prone to ponding water issues and membrane deterioration. Domed skylights can develop stress cracks from thermal expansion. We’ve diagnosed and repaired them all.
Even for unusual sizes or discontinued models, we can fabricate custom flashing, source compatible replacement parts, or engineer solutions that restore full functionality while maintaining weather resistance.
When repair isn’t technically feasible or cost-effective, we’ll recommend replacement options tailored to your budget and needs. Some skylights are genuinely beyond repair – extensive glass damage, severely compromised structural integrity, or frame deterioration that makes sealing impossible.
We’re completely honest about when replacement makes more sense than repair. If fixing your current skylight would cost 70-80% of replacement cost, we’ll tell you straight. Our goal is helping you make the best decision for your home and budget, not maximizing our project size.
When replacement is necessary, we handle everything from permits and material selection to installation and cleanup. We also work directly with insurance companies when skylight damage results from covered events like storms or hail, helping you navigate claims processes and documentation requirements.
