You wake up to water stains on your ceiling. Again. That skylight that once brought beautiful natural light into your home has become your biggest headache.
Here’s what changes when we fix it right. No more scrambling for buckets when it rains. No more watching water damage spread across your drywall. No more inflated heating and cooling bills from air leaks.
Your skylight works the way it should – bringing in light while keeping weather out. Your home stays dry, your energy costs drop, and you stop worrying every time storm clouds roll in over Suffolk County.
We’ve been fixing Suffolk County homes for years, specializing in the exterior work that protects your biggest investment. We know Flanders weather – the nor’easters that test every seal, the summer heat that expands materials, the freeze-thaw cycles that crack what wasn’t installed right the first time.
We’re not the cheapest option in town. We’re the one that gets called when other contractors’ work fails. Our crews live here, work here, and understand what it takes to make repairs last through Long Island’s changing seasons.
When your neighbors need skylight work done right, they call us. When you need it fixed once and fixed permanently, you should too.
First, we diagnose the real problem. Most skylight “leaks” aren’t actually skylight problems – they’re flashing issues, roof problems, or installation mistakes from years ago. We inspect everything: the glass, the frame, the flashing, and the surrounding roof area.
Next, we fix the root cause. If it’s damaged flashing, we replace it with proper materials that seal tight. If the glass is cracked, we source the right replacement. If the previous installer cut corners, we redo it correctly.
Finally, we test our work. Before we leave, we run water over the repair area and check for any signs of moisture intrusion. You get a repair that works immediately and keeps working through every storm season ahead.

We handle every type of skylight issue Flanders homeowners face. Leaking seals around VELUX, Wasco, or Pella units. Cracked glass from storm damage. Foggy double-pane windows that have lost their seal. Flashing that’s pulled away from the roof line.
Suffolk County’s weather is tough on skylights. The coastal humidity, temperature swings, and occasional severe storms create unique challenges. We stock materials designed for our climate and use installation techniques that account for Long Island’s specific conditions.
Whether you need emergency leak repair after a storm or want to upgrade an old plastic dome to energy-efficient glass, we have the experience and materials to handle it. Most repairs cost far less than replacement, and we’ll always give you honest options based on your skylight’s actual condition.
Most skylight repairs in the Flanders area range from $450 to $1,000, depending on what needs fixing. Simple resealing jobs cost less, while flashing replacement or glass repair costs more.
The key is getting it diagnosed correctly first. Many “skylight leaks” are actually roof problems that cost different amounts to fix. We always inspect the entire area and give you a clear breakdown of what’s wrong and what it costs to fix properly.
Repair almost always costs less than replacement. A new skylight installation typically runs 3-4 times the cost of the unit itself when you factor in labor, materials, and interior work.
The most common cause is damaged or improperly installed flashing – the metal strips that seal your skylight to the roof. Suffolk County’s weather cycles expand and contract these materials over time, and poor initial installation makes it worse.
Cracked or separated glass seals also let water in, especially on older skylights with single-pane or cheap double-pane construction. Sometimes the skylight itself is fine, but surrounding roof problems channel water toward the skylight area.
Age plays a role too. Seals become brittle after years of temperature changes. Even well-installed skylights eventually need maintenance as materials naturally wear out.
Yes, we work on all major skylight brands including VELUX, Wasco, Pella, Anderson, and others. Each manufacturer has different design characteristics and common failure points, so experience with the specific brand matters.
VELUX skylights, for example, have particular flashing systems that require specific techniques and materials. Older Wasco units have different seal configurations than newer models. We stock parts and materials for the brands most common in Suffolk County homes.
If your skylight is beyond repair, we can also handle replacement with upgraded units that perform better and last longer than what was originally installed.
Yes, we provide emergency skylight repair throughout the Flanders area, often with same-day service. When water is actively coming through your ceiling, waiting isn’t an option.
For emergency calls, we first stop the immediate water intrusion with temporary measures if needed. Then we assess what’s required for a permanent fix and get that work scheduled quickly.
Suffolk County storms can cause sudden skylight failures, especially on older installations. We keep emergency repair materials in our trucks and can often complete permanent repairs the same day we respond to your call.
Properly done skylight repairs should last 10-15 years or more, depending on the materials used and local weather conditions. We use high-quality sealants, flashing, and glass that are designed for Long Island’s climate.
The key is fixing the root cause, not just the symptoms. Quick patches with generic caulk might stop leaks temporarily, but they fail quickly when materials expand and contract with temperature changes.
We warranty our repair work because we use proven techniques and quality materials. When we fix a skylight leak, it stays fixed through multiple storm seasons and temperature cycles.
It depends on the skylight’s age, condition, and the extent of damage. Most leaks can be repaired effectively for much less than replacement cost. We’ll always give you honest options after inspecting your specific situation.
Repair makes sense when the frame and glass are in good condition but seals or flashing need attention. Replacement is better when the skylight is very old, has multiple problems, or you want to upgrade to more energy-efficient glass.
We won’t try to sell you a new skylight you don’t need. After 25+ years in business, our reputation depends on giving customers the right solution for their situation and budget.
