Your skylight stops being a problem and starts being what it was meant to be—natural light without the worry. No more water damage spreading through your ceiling or down your walls. No more scrambling for buckets during storms.
The real relief comes from knowing it’s actually fixed this time. Not patched with tar or sealed with whatever was handy, but properly diagnosed and permanently repaired with materials built for Suffolk County weather.
You get your peace of mind back. Your home stays dry, your investment stays protected, and you stop losing sleep every time it rains.
We’ve been handling exterior home improvements in Suffolk County for years, and we’ve seen what happens when skylights aren’t repaired properly the first time. Most of our skylight jobs are fixing work that other contractors messed up.
We’re a family-owned business that understands Brookhaven homeowners want straight answers and permanent solutions. When we inspect your skylight, we’ll tell you exactly what’s wrong and exactly how we’ll fix it—before any work starts.
Our approach is different because we actually diagnose the problem instead of just patching symptoms. We’ve built our reputation in Suffolk County by doing the work right the first time.
We start with a complete inspection of your skylight, flashing, seals, and surrounding roof area. Most skylight leaks aren’t coming from the skylight itself—they’re coming from damaged flashing or improper installation around it.
Once we identify the real source of the problem, we remove any damaged components and replace them with premium materials designed for Long Island weather. This includes flashing replacement, seal repairs, weatherstripping updates, and any necessary roof work around the skylight.
After the repair is complete, we test everything to make sure it’s actually leak-free. We also handle complete cleanup and can take care of any interior ceiling stain repairs or painting if needed. You get a permanent fix, not a temporary patch.

Your skylight repair includes everything needed for a permanent fix. We handle flashing replacement, seal repairs, weatherstripping updates, and any necessary roof work around the skylight. All materials are premium grade and designed for Suffolk County’s weather extremes.
In Brookhaven, we see a lot of skylights that were damaged by previous contractors who didn’t understand proper installation techniques. Many Long Island homes built in the 1960s and 1970s have skylights that were never properly integrated with the roofing system.
We also provide emergency skylight repair services for urgent leak situations. When storms hit Suffolk County, we understand that skylight leaks can cause immediate damage to your home’s interior. Our emergency response helps prevent further water damage while we plan the permanent repair.
Most skylight leaks can be repaired if the skylight glass itself isn’t cracked or broken. The majority of leaks we see in Brookhaven come from damaged flashing, worn seals, or improper installation around the skylight—not the skylight itself.
During our inspection, we’ll examine the flashing, seals, surrounding roofing materials, and the skylight’s overall condition. If the skylight frame is structurally sound and the glass is intact, we can typically repair it permanently. Even skylights that have been leaking for months or years can often be saved with proper flashing replacement and resealing.
The key is getting a proper diagnosis from someone who understands skylights, not just general roofing. We’ll give you a clear assessment of whether repair or replacement makes more sense for your situation.
Most skylight “repairs” fail because contractors don’t identify the actual source of the leak. They see water coming in and assume it’s the skylight, so they slap some tar or caulk around it and call it fixed.
The reality is that most skylight leaks come from damaged or improperly installed flashing—the metal material that seals the skylight to your roof. When flashing fails, water gets behind it and can travel several feet before it shows up as a leak inside your home.
We’ve fixed hundreds of skylights in Suffolk County that were “repaired” multiple times by other contractors. The difference is that we actually diagnose where the water is coming from and fix that specific problem with proper materials and installation techniques. That’s why our repairs last.
Most skylight repairs can be completed in one day, depending on the extent of the damage and weather conditions. Simple seal repairs or flashing replacement typically take 4-6 hours from start to finish.
More extensive repairs that involve roof work around the skylight or multiple components may take 1-2 days. If we need to coordinate interior ceiling repairs or painting, that adds additional time but we handle all of that work ourselves.
We always provide a realistic timeline during our initial inspection. Weather is obviously a factor in Suffolk County, so we’ll work with you to schedule the repair during favorable conditions. For emergency situations, we can often provide temporary weatherproofing to prevent further damage while we schedule the permanent repair.
Suffolk County’s weather puts a lot of stress on skylight flashing over time. The freeze-thaw cycles we get in winter cause expansion and contraction that can crack or separate flashing joints. Heavy rains and nor’easters can drive water into any small gaps.
Age is also a major factor. Many Brookhaven homes have skylights that are 20+ years old, and the original flashing materials weren’t designed to last that long. Aluminum flashing can corrode, and the sealants used around it break down over time.
Poor installation is another common cause. We’ve seen skylights where the flashing was never properly integrated with the roofing system, or where contractors used the wrong type of flashing for the roof pitch. When we replace flashing, we use materials and techniques that are specifically designed for Long Island’s climate conditions.
Yes, we handle both the exterior repair and any interior restoration needed. Skylight leaks often cause ceiling stains, paint damage, or even drywall repairs, and many roofing contractors won’t touch the interior work.
We take care of everything from start to finish. After we fix the leak, we can repair any damaged drywall, prime and paint stained areas, and even install new trim if needed. This saves you from having to coordinate with multiple contractors.
Most homeowners in Brookhaven appreciate having one company handle the complete job. You don’t have to worry about the roofer blaming the painter or the painter saying the leak isn’t fully fixed. We stand behind both the exterior repair and the interior restoration work.
Skylight repair costs typically range from $450 to $1,200 depending on what needs to be fixed. Simple seal repairs or minor flashing work are on the lower end, while complete flashing replacement or extensive roof work around the skylight costs more.
The good news is that repair is almost always much less expensive than replacement. A new skylight installation can cost $2,000 to $5,000 or more when you factor in the skylight, installation, and interior work.
We provide detailed written estimates that break down exactly what work is needed and what each component costs. No surprises, no hidden fees. Most Brookhaven homeowners find that investing in a proper repair saves them thousands compared to replacement and gives them years of trouble-free performance.
