When your skylights leak, every rainstorm becomes a source of stress. Water stains on your ceiling. Drips hitting your floor. The constant worry about what’s happening inside your walls.
We fix that. Our skylight repairs don’t just stop the immediate leak – they address the root cause so you can enjoy natural light without the anxiety. No more buckets. No more water damage. Just skylights that work the way they should.
You’ll sleep better knowing your home is protected, and your family can enjoy those bright, naturally-lit spaces without worrying about the next storm.
We’ve been solving skylight problems for East Shoreham homeowners who refuse to settle for quick fixes. We understand what Suffolk County weather does to skylights – the coastal humidity, the winter freeze-thaw cycles, the summer heat that warps seals.
This isn’t just another service call for us. We live here too. We know that your $542,000 home deserves contractors who take the work seriously and get it right the first time.
Our certified professionals have seen every type of skylight failure, from improper flashing installation to worn weather seals. When we show up, we’re not just fixing today’s problem – we’re preventing next year’s headache.
First, we inspect everything. Not just the obvious leak, but the flashing, the seals, the surrounding roofing materials, and the skylight’s overall condition. Many “skylight leaks” are actually roofing issues nearby, and we find the real source.
Next, we explain exactly what we found and what it’ll take to fix it properly. No surprises, no upselling – just straight talk about your options and what each one costs.
Then we fix it right. Whether that’s replacing damaged flashing, resealing the skylight, repairing cracked glass, or addressing condensation issues, we use quality materials and proven techniques. Our goal isn’t just to stop today’s leak – it’s to prevent future problems so you don’t have to deal with this again.

East Shoreham’s coastal location creates unique challenges for skylights. The salt air accelerates metal corrosion. Temperature swings cause expansion and contraction that can crack seals. High humidity leads to condensation problems that many contractors don’t properly address.
We handle all of it. Skylight leak repair, flashing replacement, glass repair for cracked or foggy skylights, resealing services, and emergency repairs when storms cause sudden damage. We work with all major skylight brands – Velux, Wasco, Pella, Anderson – because each has different weak points that require specific knowledge.
For East Shoreham homeowners, we also understand the importance of maintaining your property values. A properly functioning skylight adds natural light and appeal to your home. A leaking one can cause thousands in interior damage and hurt your investment.
If you’re seeing active dripping, water pooling on your floor, or new water stains spreading on your ceiling, that’s an emergency. Don’t wait – water damage gets exponentially more expensive the longer it continues.
Call us immediately if you notice water coming through during or right after rain. We offer same-day emergency service because we know that every hour of delay means more damage to your drywall, insulation, and potentially your home’s structure.
Even if the leak seems small, Suffolk County’s humid climate means that moisture trapped in your walls can lead to mold growth within 24-48 hours.
Most skylight problems can be repaired if caught early. Common fixes include replacing damaged flashing, resealing around the frame, replacing worn gaskets, or repairing cracked glass. These repairs typically cost a fraction of full replacement.
However, if your skylight is over 20 years old, has multiple seal failures, or the frame itself is warped or corroded, replacement might be more cost-effective long-term. We’ll give you honest advice about which option makes sense for your situation and budget.
During our inspection, we’ll show you exactly what we found and explain your options clearly, so you can make an informed decision.
This is usually condensation, not a traditional leak, but it can cause just as much damage. In East Shoreham’s climate, warm humid air from inside your home hits the cooler skylight glass and forms water droplets that drip down.
Poor insulation around the skylight frame, inadequate ventilation, or damaged weather seals can all contribute to condensation problems. Sometimes the skylight was installed without proper vapor barriers or insulation techniques.
We fix condensation issues by improving insulation, upgrading ventilation, replacing seals, and sometimes recommending ventilating skylights that allow moisture to escape. The key is addressing the root cause, not just the symptoms.
When done properly with quality materials, most skylight repairs should last 10-15 years or more. The key factors are using the right materials for Suffolk County’s coastal environment and addressing all the underlying issues, not just the obvious ones.
Cheap fixes using hardware store caulk might stop the leak temporarily, but they’ll fail within a year or two. We use professional-grade sealants, proper flashing materials, and time-tested installation techniques.
We also provide guidance on simple maintenance you can do to extend the life of your repair, like keeping gutters clean and checking seals annually for early signs of wear.
Flashing is the metal barrier that directs water away from the skylight opening in your roof. When flashing is damaged, corroded, or improperly installed, water gets behind it and into your home. This requires removing the old flashing and installing new materials.
Resealing involves replacing the rubber gaskets and sealants around the skylight frame itself. These materials naturally degrade over time due to UV exposure and temperature changes, especially in our Long Island climate.
Sometimes you need both – flashing repair to fix structural water intrusion and resealing to address frame leaks. During our inspection, we’ll determine exactly what’s needed and explain the difference so you understand what you’re paying for.
Yes, we provide same-day emergency service for urgent skylight leaks. We understand that when your skylight starts leaking during a storm, waiting until next week isn’t an option.
Our emergency service includes temporary weatherproofing to stop immediate water intrusion, followed by permanent repairs once conditions allow. We carry emergency materials on our trucks and can typically provide temporary protection within hours of your call.
For true emergencies – active leaking that’s causing interior damage – we’re available 24/7. Call our emergency line and we’ll walk you through immediate steps you can take while we’re en route to minimize damage to your home.
