When your skylight stops leaking, you get your peace of mind back. No more water stains spreading across your ceiling. No more scrambling for buckets when it rains. No more worrying about mold growing in your walls.
You’ll have a skylight that actually protects your home instead of threatening it. Your energy bills stay reasonable because conditioned air isn’t escaping through gaps and cracks. Most importantly, you can focus on enjoying your home instead of constantly watching for the next leak.
The difference between a quick patch and a permanent fix is everything. We address the root cause so you’re not calling for repairs again next season.
We’ve been solving skylight problems for Suffolk County homeowners as a family-owned business rooted in the community. We understand how Greenport’s coastal weather affects your skylights – the salt air, the storms, the temperature swings.
Our team knows the difference between a skylight problem and a roof problem. We’ve seen how improper flashing installation from other contractors creates leaks that homeowners blame on the skylight itself. That’s why we start every job with a thorough inspection.
You’re working with licensed, insured professionals who’ve built our reputation on permanent solutions, not quick fixes that fail when you need them most.
We start with a comprehensive inspection of your skylight, flashing, seals, and surrounding roof materials. Most leaks aren’t coming from the skylight glass itself – they’re usually flashing failures, seal deterioration, or installation issues around the skylight.
Once we identify the real problem, we explain exactly what’s wrong and how we’ll fix it. No surprises, no upselling, just straight answers about what your skylight needs.
The repair includes everything necessary for a permanent solution. We replace damaged flashing, update seals and weatherstripping, and handle any roof work around the skylight. All materials are premium grade and designed for Long Island’s weather extremes. After completion, we test everything to ensure it’s completely leak-free and clean up thoroughly.

Your skylight repair covers all components needed for lasting protection. We handle flashing replacement, seal repairs, weatherstripping updates, glass repairs for minor cracks, and any necessary roof work around the skylight installation.
For Greenport homes near the water, we pay special attention to salt air corrosion and wind-driven rain patterns. Coastal properties face unique challenges that require specific materials and installation techniques. We use marine-grade sealants and corrosion-resistant flashing materials that stand up to Suffolk County’s coastal environment.
Every repair includes a thorough cleaning of the skylight and surrounding area, plus testing to verify the repair is completely watertight. We also inspect your attic space for any existing water damage that needs attention before it becomes a bigger problem.
Most skylight repairs in Greenport range from $450 to $1,000, depending on the extent of damage and what needs to be fixed. Simple seal repairs cost less, while flashing replacement or glass repairs cost more.
The good news is that repair is almost always more cost-effective than replacement. A new skylight installation typically costs 3-4 times the price of the actual unit when you factor in labor, materials, and interior work. We provide detailed written estimates so you know exactly what you’re paying for before any work begins.
Emergency leak repairs may have different pricing due to urgency, but we’re always upfront about costs and won’t surprise you with hidden fees.
Most skylight leaks aren’t actually caused by the skylight itself. The most common culprits are damaged or improperly installed flashing, deteriorated seals around the skylight frame, or roof issues near the skylight installation.
In Suffolk County’s coastal environment, salt air accelerates corrosion of metal flashing and hardware. Temperature swings cause expansion and contraction that can crack seals over time. Heavy rains and wind-driven moisture find their way through even small gaps in the flashing system.
Poor initial installation is another major cause. If the flashing wasn’t installed correctly or the wrong materials were used, leaks are inevitable. That’s why we always inspect the entire skylight system, not just the obvious problem areas.
A properly executed skylight repair using quality materials should last 10-15 years or more in Suffolk County’s climate. The key is using the right materials for coastal conditions and addressing all underlying issues, not just the visible symptoms.
We use marine-grade sealants and corrosion-resistant flashing materials specifically chosen for Long Island’s salt air and weather patterns. Cheap materials or quick fixes might last a year or two, but they’ll fail when you need them most – during the next big storm.
The longevity of your repair also depends on addressing any roof issues around the skylight. If the surrounding roof materials are compromised, even a perfect skylight repair won’t solve the problem long-term.
Minor cracks in skylight glass can often be repaired, but it depends on the size, location, and type of crack. Small stress cracks or chips can sometimes be sealed to prevent water infiltration and further damage.
However, significant cracks, shattered glass, or multiple crack patterns usually require complete glass replacement. Safety is our primary concern – damaged skylight glass can fail catastrophically, especially during storms or temperature changes.
We’ll assess your specific situation and give you honest advice about whether repair or replacement makes more sense. Sometimes a glass replacement is more cost-effective than trying to patch multiple small problems that will likely worsen over time.
Yes, we provide emergency skylight leak repair services for Greenport homeowners dealing with active leaks. We understand that skylight leaks don’t wait for convenient timing – they happen during storms when you need immediate protection.
Our emergency service focuses on stopping the immediate water intrusion to prevent further damage to your home’s interior. We’ll secure the area with temporary waterproofing measures, then schedule a time for permanent repairs once conditions allow for proper work.
Emergency calls receive priority scheduling, and we’ll work with you to minimize disruption to your home while ensuring the leak is properly contained. Keep in mind that some permanent repairs may need to wait for appropriate weather conditions for optimal results.
This is exactly why we start every job with a comprehensive inspection. Many homeowners assume their skylight is leaking when the real problem is with the roof around the skylight installation.
Water can travel along roof decking, rafters, or other structural elements before appearing near your skylight. Damaged shingles, deteriorated roof penetrations, or ice dam issues can all cause water to show up around your skylight even when the skylight itself is perfectly fine.
Our experienced technicians know how to trace water infiltration to its actual source. We examine the entire area – skylight, flashing, surrounding roofing materials, and interior signs of water damage. You’ll get an honest assessment of what’s really causing the problem and what it will take to fix it permanently.
