You shouldn’t have to live with buckets catching drips or worry about water staining your ceiling. When we repair your skylight, the leak stops – period.
Most skylight problems aren’t actually flashing issues like many contractors assume. Three out of four skylight leaks we see come from failures in the skylight unit itself. That’s why we start with proper diagnosis instead of guessing.
Once we identify the real problem, we fix it right. Whether it’s resealing around the frame, replacing damaged glass, or addressing motor issues in vented skylights, you get a solution that lasts. No more emergency calls during the next storm.
SkyLuxe Construction Inc has been serving Suffolk County homeowners for years as a full-service exterior home improvement specialist. We focus exclusively on residential work because that’s where our expertise makes the biggest difference.
Living in Halesite means dealing with Long Island’s intense sun, coastal weather, and seasonal temperature swings that put extra stress on skylights. We understand how these conditions affect your home’s exterior systems and what it takes to make repairs that hold up year after year.
Our team handles everything from roof repair and replacement to siding installation and skylight services. When you call us, you’re working with contractors who see the bigger picture of how your skylight fits into your home’s overall weather protection system.
First, we inspect your skylight properly. Not just a quick look at the flashing, but a thorough examination of the entire unit, surrounding roof area, and interior damage patterns. This tells us exactly what’s causing the leak.
Next, we explain what we found and give you realistic options. Sometimes it’s a simple resealing job that costs a few hundred dollars. Other times the skylight unit itself has failed and needs replacement. We’ll tell you the difference and let you decide.
Then we do the work right. If it’s a repair, we use quality materials and proven techniques that address the root cause. If replacement makes more sense, we handle the entire process from removing the old unit to properly installing and flashing the new one. Either way, you get a skylight that works without leaking.

We repair all types of skylights commonly found in Suffolk County homes. Fixed skylights that just need new sealing or glass replacement. Vented skylights with motor problems or damaged opening mechanisms. Even tubular skylights that have developed leaks around their flashing systems.
Halesite homeowners deal with specific challenges that come with coastal Long Island weather. Salt air accelerates corrosion of skylight hardware. Intense summer sun breaks down sealing materials faster. Winter freeze-thaw cycles stress glass and frames. We’ve seen it all and know how to address each problem properly.
Our repair services include everything from emergency leak fixes to complete skylight restoration. Cracked glass replacement, flashing repair, motor replacement for automated units, resealing services, and foggy glass solutions. Whatever’s wrong with your skylight, we have the experience and tools to fix it correctly the first time.
Most skylight repairs in our area run between $200 and $800, depending on what needs to be fixed. Simple resealing jobs typically cost $200-400, while glass replacement or flashing repairs range from $400-800.
Motor replacement for vented skylights costs more – usually $500-1,000 depending on the type. But even the most expensive repairs cost far less than full skylight replacement, which can run $2,000-5,000.
We always give you an honest assessment of whether repair makes sense or if replacement would be more cost-effective long-term. For most skylights under 15 years old, repair is the smart choice.
Most people assume skylight leaks come from damaged flashing around the edges, but that’s only true about 25% of the time. Three out of four skylight leaks we repair are actually caused by failures in the skylight unit itself.
The glass seal may have failed, allowing water to get between panes. The frame might have developed cracks from thermal expansion and contraction. Or the weather stripping around a vented skylight could be worn out.
Sometimes the problem isn’t even the skylight – it’s condensation from poor insulation that looks like a leak. That’s why proper diagnosis is so important. We inspect the entire system to find the real source before recommending any repairs.
For emergency leak situations, we offer same-day service in most cases. If your skylight is actively leaking and causing interior damage, we’ll get someone out to assess the problem and provide temporary protection right away.
Simple repairs like resealing or replacing weather stripping can often be completed the same day. More complex repairs that require ordering parts might take a few days, but we’ll secure the area to prevent further water damage while we wait for materials.
We keep common skylight repair supplies in our trucks, so many repairs can be completed on the spot. For Halesite residents dealing with an active leak, don’t wait – call us immediately to prevent expensive interior damage.
If your skylight is less than 15 years old and the frame is structurally sound, repair usually makes the most sense. Modern skylights are built to last 20-25 years with proper maintenance, so a good repair can give you many more years of service.
Replacement makes sense when the skylight is very old, has multiple problems, or when repair costs approach 50% of replacement cost. Also, if you’re getting a new roof, that’s often the ideal time to upgrade your skylights.
We’ll inspect your skylight and give you honest recommendations based on its age, condition, and your long-term plans for the home. Our goal is to solve your leak problem in the most cost-effective way possible.
Yes, we repair all common skylight types found in Suffolk County homes. Fixed skylights, vented skylights (both manual and motorized), tubular skylights, and even older bubble skylights that many contractors won’t touch.
We’re familiar with all the major brands – Velux, Andersen, Pella, Wasco, and others. Each manufacturer has different design quirks and common failure points, so knowing these details helps us diagnose problems faster and repair them correctly.
Whether your skylight opens manually with a crank, automatically with a motor, or doesn’t open at all, we have the experience and parts sources to get it working properly again. Even custom or unusual skylights can usually be repaired with the right approach.
Long Island’s climate is particularly tough on skylights. The combination of intense summer sun, salt air, and freeze-thaw cycles creates unique challenges you don’t see in other parts of the country.
UV radiation breaks down sealing compounds faster here, especially on south-facing skylights. Salt air accelerates corrosion of metal components. Winter ice dams can force water under flashing that would normally shed moisture properly.
Age is also a factor – many homes in our area have skylights installed in the 1980s and 1990s that are reaching the end of their expected lifespan. The good news is that most problems can be repaired effectively if caught before they cause major structural damage to the surrounding roof area.
