That water stain on your ceiling isn’t just ugly – it’s a warning. Every day you wait, moisture spreads deeper into your walls, creating the perfect environment for mold and structural damage.
Most homeowners think their skylight just needs some caulk around the edges. Here’s what we’ve learned after decades in Suffolk County: three out of four skylight leaks aren’t coming from where you think they are.
The real culprits? Failed flashing, compromised seals, or roof issues around the skylight. We start every repair with a comprehensive inspection because guessing costs you more money and doesn’t solve the problem.
SkyLuxe Construction isn’t just another contractor – we’re a Suffolk County family business built on four generations of construction knowledge. We’ve been solving skylight problems in Dix Hills long enough to know that every leak tells a story.
Dix Hills homeowners deal with unique challenges. Your affluent neighborhood demands quality work that lasts, and the Long Island climate puts serious stress on roofing systems. We understand both.
Our team has seen every type of skylight failure Suffolk County weather can create. From freeze-thaw damage that splits flashing to summer heat that warps seals, we know how to fix it permanently the first time.
We don’t start swinging hammers until we know exactly what’s wrong. Every skylight repair begins with a thorough inspection of the skylight itself, all flashing, seals, and the surrounding roof area.
You get a detailed explanation of what we found and a transparent quote before any work begins. No surprises, no hidden costs, no shortcuts.
Once you approve the plan, we handle everything: flashing replacement, seal repairs, weatherstripping updates, and any necessary roof work around the skylight. All materials are premium grade, designed specifically for Long Island’s weather extremes.
We test everything when we’re done and clean up completely. You get a detailed walkthrough of what we fixed and how to maintain your skylights going forward.

Skylight leak repair isn’t one-size-fits-all. We handle everything from simple resealing jobs to complete flashing replacement and motor repairs for vented skylights.
Dix Hills homes often feature high-end skylights with complex mechanisms. Whether you’re dealing with a basic fixed skylight or a solar-powered venting system, we have the expertise and parts to get it working properly.
Our repair services include cracked glass replacement, foggy skylight restoration, emergency leak fixes, flashing repair, weatherstripping replacement, and motor mechanism repairs. We work with all major skylight brands and can source parts for even discontinued models.
Suffolk County’s weather is particularly hard on skylights. The freeze-thaw cycles we get here cause materials to expand and contract repeatedly, creating gaps that let water in. We use materials specifically rated for these conditions to prevent recurring problems.
Skylight repair costs in Dix Hills typically range from $450 to $1,000, depending on what needs to be fixed. Simple resealing jobs start around $450, while more complex repairs involving flashing replacement or motor issues can reach $1,000.
The key is getting the right diagnosis upfront. Most skylight leaks aren’t actually coming from the skylight itself – they’re caused by damaged flashing, improper installation, or roof issues around the skylight. We always start with a comprehensive inspection to identify the real problem.
Trying to save money with temporary fixes usually backfires. We’ve seen homeowners spend hundreds on repeated “quick fixes” when a proper repair would have cost less and actually solved the problem. Our repairs come with materials designed for Long Island’s weather extremes, so you won’t be dealing with the same issue again next year.
Water stains on your ceiling or walls around the skylight are the most obvious sign, but don’t wait for visible water damage. Other warning signs include condensation between glass panes, drafts near the skylight, peeling paint around the frame, or difficulty opening and closing vented skylights.
In Suffolk County, freeze-thaw cycles create unique problems. You might notice leaks that only happen during certain weather conditions, or skylights that work fine in summer but leak during winter storms. This usually indicates seal or flashing problems that will only get worse.
If your skylight is more than 10 years old and you’re noticing any of these issues, it’s time for a professional inspection. Skylights in Dix Hills face intense sun exposure, heavy snow loads, and temperature swings that can cause materials to fail gradually. Catching problems early prevents expensive water damage to your interior.
Emergency skylight repairs can be done in most weather conditions, but permanent repairs require dry conditions for proper sealing. If you have an active leak during a storm, we can provide temporary weatherproofing to stop immediate damage.
For permanent repairs, we need at least 24-48 hours of dry weather to ensure new seals and flashing cure properly. Long Island’s winter weather can be unpredictable, so we monitor forecasts carefully and schedule repairs during stable weather windows.
Emergency situations get priority. If water is actively coming through your skylight and threatening your interior, we’ll respond quickly with temporary solutions to stop the immediate damage. Once conditions allow, we’ll return to complete the permanent repair. Our materials are designed to cure properly in temperatures down to 40 degrees, giving us more working days than some contractors.
Yes, all our skylight repairs come with a comprehensive warranty covering both materials and workmanship. The specific warranty period depends on the type of repair, but most leak repairs are warrantied for at least two years.
We use premium materials designed specifically for Long Island’s climate extremes. These aren’t the same products you’ll find at big box stores – they’re contractor-grade materials with proven track records in coastal environments like ours.
If a repaired area fails during the warranty period, we’ll return and fix it at no charge. This includes materials and labor. We stand behind our work because we know the materials we use and the techniques we employ. Most of our skylight repairs in Dix Hills are still leak-free years later, which is why we’re comfortable offering strong warranties.
Most skylight leaks can be repaired effectively for much less than replacement cost. Skylight replacement typically costs 3-4 times more than repair, so we always explore repair options first.
The age and condition of your skylight matter. If your skylight is less than 15 years old and the glass is in good condition, repair is usually the smart choice. However, if you have an older skylight with multiple problems – cracked glass, corroded frame, and failed seals – replacement might be more cost-effective long-term.
We’ll give you honest advice based on what we find during our inspection. Sometimes homeowners are surprised to learn their “old” skylight just needs new flashing and seals to work like new again. Other times, we’ll recommend replacement because the cost of multiple repairs would approach replacement cost anyway. Our goal is to give you the most cost-effective solution that actually solves your problem permanently.
Most skylight repairs in Dix Hills can be completed in 4-8 hours, depending on the complexity of the problem and accessibility of the skylight. Simple resealing jobs might take just a few hours, while complete flashing replacement can take a full day.
Weather conditions affect timing. We need dry conditions for proper sealing, so repairs might be spread across multiple days if rain is forecast. We’ll never rush a repair just to finish quickly – proper curing time is essential for long-term performance.
Complex repairs involving multiple issues or hard-to-reach skylights may take longer. Steep roofs require additional safety equipment and slower work pace. We’ll give you a realistic timeline during our initial inspection and keep you updated if conditions require any adjustments. Most of our customers are surprised how quickly we can solve problems that have been bothering them for months.
