Your skylight stops leaking. Your ceiling stays dry. Your home stays protected from water damage that could cost thousands in repairs.
Most homeowners think skylight problems need complete replacement, but that’s rarely true. Three out of four skylight leaks we fix stem from the skylight unit itself, not the flashing around it. We diagnose the real problem first, then fix it properly.
Whether it’s resealing around the edges, replacing weather stripping, or fixing cracked glass, we handle skylight repairs that actually last. No more buckets on your floor during rainstorms.
SkyLuxe Construction has been serving Central Islip and Suffolk County families for years as a trusted exterior home improvement specialist. We’re not just another roofing company – we’re your neighbors who understand exactly what Suffolk County weather does to skylights.
Our team knows the common skylight problems Central Islip homeowners face. From freeze-thaw cycles that crack seals to Long Island storms that test every flashing joint, we’ve seen it all. We’re licensed, insured, and available when you need us most.
You get honest assessments, fair pricing, and repairs that actually solve the problem instead of just covering it up temporarily.
First, we inspect your skylight thoroughly to find the real source of the leak. Most contractors just slap tar around the edges and call it fixed, but that only works about 25% of the time.
We check the skylight unit itself, examine the flashing system, test the seals, and look for signs of structural damage. Then we explain exactly what’s wrong and what it’ll take to fix it properly.
Our repairs range from simple resealing jobs that cost a few hundred dollars to complete skylight replacement when that’s truly necessary. We use quality materials designed for Suffolk County’s climate, and we guarantee our work. Most repairs are completed the same day we start them.

We handle every type of skylight repair Central Islip homeowners need. Leaking around the edges, cracked or foggy glass, broken operating mechanisms, damaged flashing – if it’s skylight-related, we fix it.
Our service includes emergency leak repairs when storms hit, routine maintenance to prevent problems, and full skylight replacement when repair isn’t cost-effective. We work on all skylight brands and types, from basic fixed units to motorized venting skylights.
Central Islip’s weather is tough on skylights. Hot summers expand materials, cold winters contract them, and heavy rains test every seal. We use materials and techniques specifically chosen to handle these conditions, giving you repairs that last years instead of months.
Most skylight repairs in Central Islip cost between $450 and $1,000, depending on what’s actually wrong. Simple resealing jobs are on the lower end, while replacing glass or major flashing work costs more.
The key is proper diagnosis first. Many homeowners get quoted for complete skylight replacement when they only need new weather stripping or flashing repair. We always start with the most cost-effective solution that actually solves your problem.
Complete skylight replacement typically costs 3-4 times more than the skylight unit itself when you factor in materials, interior work, and labor. That’s why we focus on repairs that extend your skylight’s life instead of pushing unnecessary replacements.
Skylights can leak during dry weather due to condensation buildup or delayed water infiltration from previous storms. Water often travels along roof structures before appearing inside your home, sometimes days after the actual rain.
Condensation happens when warm, humid indoor air meets the cooler skylight surface. This creates water droplets that can drip down just like a leak. Poor ventilation around the skylight area makes this worse.
We check for both actual leaks and condensation problems during our inspection. The solutions are different – leaks need sealing or flashing repair, while condensation issues require improved ventilation or insulation adjustments around the skylight frame.
Most skylights can be repaired rather than replaced, even older units. We regularly fix skylights that are 15-20 years old by replacing seals, updating flashing systems, or repairing the operating mechanisms.
The deciding factor is usually cost-effectiveness. If repair costs approach 70-80% of replacement cost, we’ll recommend replacement. But often, a few hundred dollars in targeted repairs can give you several more years of reliable service.
Older skylights sometimes have better glass and frames than newer budget models. We’ve saved homeowners thousands by repairing quality older units instead of replacing them with inferior new ones that won’t last as long.
Properly done skylight repairs should last 5-10 years in Suffolk County’s climate, sometimes longer depending on the specific repair and materials used. We use commercial-grade sealants and flashing materials designed to handle temperature extremes and heavy weather.
The key is addressing the root cause, not just the symptoms. Slapping caulk around a leaking skylight might stop water for a few months, but it won’t last because it doesn’t fix why the skylight is leaking in the first place.
We guarantee our repair work and use materials specifically chosen for Long Island’s weather conditions. Quality repairs cost a bit more upfront but save money long-term by avoiding repeated service calls and water damage.
Yes, we provide emergency skylight leak repair throughout Central Islip and Suffolk County. When storms damage skylights or sudden leaks threaten your home, we respond quickly to minimize water damage.
Emergency repairs focus on stopping water infiltration immediately, then scheduling proper permanent repairs once conditions allow. We carry tarps, temporary sealants, and basic repair materials for urgent situations.
We’re available 24/7 for true emergencies where water is actively entering your home. For non-emergency repairs, we typically schedule service within 1-2 days and complete most repairs the same day we start them.
Skylight resealing specifically addresses deteriorated seals around the skylight frame or glass, while skylight repair covers a broader range of problems including glass replacement, flashing work, and mechanical issues.
Resealing involves removing old, failed sealant and applying new weatherproof materials around joints and connections. This fixes leaks caused by seal deterioration but won’t help if the problem is cracked glass, damaged flashing, or structural issues.
We determine what type of service your skylight needs during our inspection. Sometimes resealing is all that’s required, but other times the leak source requires different repair approaches. We explain exactly what we find and recommend the most effective solution for your specific situation.
