Your skylight stops dripping water onto your floors. No more stained ceilings or soggy drywall. No more wondering when the next storm will bring problems.
You get back to enjoying the natural light your skylight was meant to provide. Your home stays protected from water damage that could cost thousands to repair. The leak gets fixed right the first time, so you’re not dealing with the same headache again next season.
Most importantly, you have confidence knowing your East Hampton home is in the hands of a licensed Suffolk County contractor who understands exactly what’s causing your skylight to leak—and how to fix it permanently.
SkyLuxe Construction Inc specializes in residential exterior home improvement throughout Suffolk County, with deep local knowledge of East Hampton’s unique coastal conditions and building requirements.
As a full-service exterior contractor, we handle everything from roof repair and replacement to siding installation and skylight repair. This comprehensive expertise means we understand how your skylight integrates with your entire roofing system—not just the skylight itself.
Our focus on residential work in Suffolk County means we’re familiar with the specific challenges East Hampton homeowners face, from salt air exposure to weather patterns that affect skylight performance over time.
The process starts with a thorough inspection to identify the real source of your skylight leak. Many contractors assume it’s a flashing issue, but three out of four skylight leaks actually stem from problems with the skylight unit itself.
We examine the skylight glass for cracks, check the seals around the frame, inspect the flashing and weatherstripping, and assess how the skylight connects to your roof structure. This comprehensive evaluation reveals whether you need a simple resealing job or more extensive repairs.
Once we’ve pinpointed the problem, we explain your options clearly. Sometimes it’s as straightforward as replacing weatherstripping or applying new sealant. Other situations might require flashing repair or glass replacement. You’ll know exactly what needs to be done and why, so you can make an informed decision about protecting your East Hampton home.

SkyLuxe Construction handles every aspect of skylight repair, from emergency leak fixes to complete skylight replacement. Our services include cracked glass repair, skylight resealing, flashing repair, and fixing foggy or condensation-damaged skylights.
For East Hampton homeowners, this local expertise matters. The coastal environment creates specific challenges—salt air can accelerate deterioration of seals and flashing, while the area’s weather patterns put extra stress on skylight systems. We understand these local conditions and use materials and techniques that hold up in Suffolk County’s climate.
Whether you’re dealing with a sudden leak during a storm or noticing gradual signs of skylight aging, we provide both emergency response and planned maintenance services. As a full-service exterior contractor, we can also coordinate skylight repairs with any related roofing or siding work your East Hampton property might need.
Skylights can leak even during dry weather due to condensation buildup or trapped moisture from previous storms. When warm, humid air inside your home meets the cooler skylight surface, condensation forms and can drip down like a leak.
Poor insulation around the skylight frame makes this worse by creating temperature differences that promote condensation. Sometimes what looks like a leak is actually moisture that got trapped during the last storm and is slowly working its way out through gaps in the seals.
This is why proper diagnosis matters—treating condensation issues requires different solutions than fixing actual water infiltration from outside your home.
Small issues like minor seal deterioration, loose flashing, or condensation problems can often be repaired effectively. However, cracked glass, severely warped frames, or skylights that have failed multiple times usually need replacement.
Age is also a factor—skylights over 15-20 years old may be worth replacing rather than repeatedly repairing, especially if you’re dealing with energy efficiency issues. Older skylights often lack the insulation and sealing technology that prevent problems in the first place.
A professional inspection can determine whether repair or replacement makes more financial sense for your specific situation. Sometimes spending a little more upfront for replacement saves money and hassle in the long run.
Three out of four skylight leaks stem from problems with the skylight unit itself, not the flashing around it. This includes deteriorated seals between glass panes, cracked glass from weather damage, or warped frames that no longer maintain a watertight seal.
East Hampton’s coastal environment creates additional challenges. Salt air accelerates deterioration of rubber seals and metal components, while temperature fluctuations from ocean breezes cause materials to expand and contract more than in inland areas.
Poor initial installation is another common culprit—if the skylight wasn’t properly sealed or flashed when first installed, even a high-quality unit will eventually develop leaks as the building settles and weather takes its toll.
Emergency skylight leaks need immediate attention to prevent water damage to your ceilings, walls, and belongings. SkyLuxe Construction provides emergency response to stop active leaks and protect your East Hampton home from further damage.
Our first priority is stopping water infiltration with temporary sealing measures if needed. Then we assess the damage and develop a plan for permanent repairs. Simple fixes like resealing or replacing weatherstripping can often be completed the same day.
More extensive repairs involving flashing work or glass replacement may take additional time to ensure the job is done right. However, we’ll make sure your home is protected from water damage while permanent repairs are scheduled and completed.
Properly repaired skylights actually improve energy efficiency by eliminating air leaks and ensuring proper insulation around the frame. Leaky skylights allow conditioned air to escape and outdoor air to infiltrate, forcing your heating and cooling systems to work harder.
Modern repair techniques include upgrading insulation around the skylight frame and using high-quality sealants that maintain flexibility in temperature changes. This creates a better thermal barrier than many older skylights originally had.
If replacement is needed, new skylights offer significantly better energy performance than units installed 15-20 years ago. Double or triple-pane glass, improved frame materials, and better sealing technology can actually reduce your energy costs while providing the same natural light benefits.
Quality skylight repairs using proper materials and techniques typically last 10-15 years or more, depending on the extent of the work and local weather conditions. Simple resealing jobs may need attention sooner, while more comprehensive repairs including flashing work tend to last longer.
The key is addressing the root cause of the problem, not just the symptoms. If the underlying issue is poor installation or structural problems, those need to be corrected for repairs to last. Using high-quality sealants and flashing materials designed for coastal environments also extends repair life.
Regular maintenance can significantly extend the life of skylight repairs. Annual inspections to check seals and clear debris, along with prompt attention to minor issues, prevent small problems from becoming major repairs that require more extensive work.
