You shouldn’t have to worry about water dripping through your ceiling every time it rains. When your skylight is properly repaired, you get back to what you loved about it in the first place – beautiful natural light flooding your space without the stress.
Most skylight problems don’t require expensive replacements. A skilled repair can restore your skylight’s function for a fraction of replacement cost, often saving you thousands. You’ll have peace of mind during storms, lower energy bills from restored natural lighting, and protection for your home’s interior.
The right repair means no more buckets catching drips, no more stained ceilings, and no more wondering if this storm will be the one that causes serious damage.
SkyLuxe Construction isn’t just another contractor – we’re a family legacy built on decades of exterior renovation experience right here in Suffolk County. We’ve seen every type of skylight problem Elwood homeowners face, from winter freeze damage to summer storm destruction.
Our certified technicians understand how Suffolk County’s weather affects skylights differently than other areas. We know which repairs will hold up to nor’easters and which materials work best in our coastal climate.
When you call us, you’re getting local knowledge that comes from generations of working on homes just like yours. We’re not learning on your roof – we already know what works.
We start with a thorough inspection to find the real source of your problem. Many leaks aren’t actually coming from where you think they are – water finds the path of least resistance, so the drip in your living room might be caused by flashing failure fifteen feet away.
Our technicians check everything: the skylight glass for cracks, the flashing around the edges, the weather seals, and the roof structure underneath. We’ll show you exactly what we find and explain your options in plain English.
Most repairs can be completed the same day. We fix what needs fixing – whether that’s resealing, replacing flashing, or addressing structural issues. You’ll know exactly what we’re doing and why, with regular updates throughout the process.

Every skylight repair includes a comprehensive assessment of your entire skylight system. We don’t just patch the obvious problem – we identify potential issues before they become expensive emergencies.
Our repairs cover everything from simple resealing to complex flashing reconstruction. We handle cracked glass, failed weather seals, damaged frames, and structural problems around the skylight opening. Each repair comes with our no-leak guarantee because we stand behind our work.
Elwood’s coastal location means your skylights face unique challenges. Salt air, temperature swings, and severe storms all take their toll. We use materials specifically chosen for Suffolk County’s climate, ensuring your repair lasts through whatever weather comes next. Emergency service is available 24/7 because we know skylight leaks don’t wait for convenient times.
Most skylight repairs in Elwood cost between $450 and $1,000, depending on what needs fixing. Simple resealing or weather seal replacement is on the lower end, while flashing reconstruction or structural repairs cost more.
The key is catching problems early. A $500 repair today can prevent a $3,000 replacement next year. We always provide upfront pricing after our inspection so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
Many repairs that seem expensive are actually much more affordable than replacement. The average skylight replacement costs 3-4 times more than most repairs, making professional repair the smart financial choice for most situations.
Yes, we perform skylight repairs year-round, including winter months. Emergency leaks can’t wait for spring, and we have the equipment and experience to work safely in cold weather.
Winter repairs are actually critical in Suffolk County. Water that gets into skylight gaps freezes and expands, making small problems much worse. What starts as minor seepage can become major structural damage after a few freeze-thaw cycles.
We take extra precautions during winter repairs, including temporary weatherproofing while work is in progress. Our materials are rated for cold-weather application, ensuring repairs hold up even when installed in challenging conditions.
Most skylights can be repaired rather than replaced, even when damage looks severe. We recommend repair when the skylight frame is sound and the problem is isolated to specific components like flashing, seals, or glass.
Replacement is usually only necessary for extensive frame damage, multiple system failures, or when the skylight is very old and parts are no longer available. Even cracked glass can often be replaced without replacing the entire skylight.
During our inspection, we’ll show you exactly what’s wrong and explain whether repair or replacement makes more financial sense. We’re honest about when replacement is the better long-term investment, but repair is usually the right choice.
The most common cause is flashing failure. Flashing is the metal barrier that seals your skylight to the roof, and it’s prone to wearing out faster than other roofing components due to constant temperature changes and weather exposure.
Weather seals around the glass also deteriorate over time, especially with Suffolk County’s intense summer sun and winter freeze cycles. Improper installation is another major cause – if the skylight wasn’t installed correctly initially, problems will develop within a few years.
Storm damage, debris impact, and simple age can also cause leaks. The good news is that most of these problems are repairable without replacing the entire skylight, especially when caught early.
Yes, we provide 24/7 emergency skylight repair throughout Elwood and Suffolk County. Skylight leaks can cause serious damage quickly, especially during storms when water is actively pouring in.
Our emergency service includes temporary weatherproofing to stop immediate water intrusion, followed by permanent repairs as soon as conditions allow. We carry emergency materials and have the equipment to work safely even in challenging weather.
Most emergency calls can be temporarily secured the same day, preventing further damage to your home’s interior. We’ll return to complete permanent repairs once weather permits, usually within 24-48 hours of the initial emergency response.
Professional skylight repairs should last 10-15 years or more when done correctly with quality materials. Our repairs come with warranties because we use materials specifically rated for Suffolk County’s climate conditions.
The longevity of your repair depends on the quality of materials used and the thoroughness of the work. Cheap quick fixes might last a year or two, while professional repairs using premium flashing and sealants will protect your home for decades.
We also provide maintenance recommendations to extend the life of your repair. Simple annual inspections and minor maintenance can help your skylight repair last as long as a new installation, giving you maximum value from your investment.
