You know that sinking feeling when you spot water stains spreading across your ceiling. Every storm becomes a source of anxiety, wondering if this will be the time your skylight finally gives way completely.
When we fix your skylight properly, those worries end. No more strategically placed buckets during rainstorms. No more wondering if that dark spot on the drywall is getting bigger. Just the natural light you wanted from your skylight, without the constant threat of water damage eating away at your home’s structure and your peace of mind.
The difference is immediate and lasting – your home stays protected, your energy bills stay manageable, and you can actually enjoy the benefits your skylight was meant to provide.
We’ve been serving Suffolk County families for years, and we understand something important about skylight problems: they don’t wait for convenient timing. When your skylight starts leaking, you need someone who treats your home like their own.
We’re a family-owned business based right here in Suffolk County, which means we know exactly what Long Island weather does to roofs and skylights. We’ve seen every type of skylight failure that comes with coastal humidity, freeze-thaw cycles, and the occasional nor’easter that tests every seal and flashing joint.
What sets us apart is simple – we show up when we say we will, we diagnose the real problem instead of just patching symptoms, and we stand behind our work because our reputation in this community matters more than any single job.
First, we actually climb up and inspect your skylight properly – not just peek at it from the ground. Most skylight leaks aren’t where you think they are, so we check the flashing, examine the seals, and look for the real source of water infiltration.
Next, we explain exactly what’s wrong and what it’ll take to fix it. No upselling, no scare tactics – just honest assessment of whether you need a simple reseal, flashing repair, or if it’s time for replacement. We’ll show you photos of what we found so you can see the problem yourself.
Then we fix it right the first time using quality materials that can handle Suffolk County weather. We don’t just stop the current leak – we address the underlying issues that caused it so you don’t end up calling us back in six months. When we’re done, we clean up completely and test everything to make sure it’s watertight.

Whether you’re dealing with a slow drip that’s been getting worse or a sudden gush during the last storm, we handle all types of skylight repairs in Hauppauge and throughout Suffolk County. Cracked glass, failed flashing, worn seals, condensation issues, or mechanical problems with vented skylights – we’ve fixed them all.
Suffolk County homes face unique challenges with skylights. The salt air accelerates corrosion of metal components, temperature swings cause expansion and contraction that breaks seals, and our wet springs test every weatherproofing detail. We stock the right materials and know the techniques that work in our specific climate.
Our repair services include emergency leak stops, flashing replacement, glass replacement, seal renewal, and complete skylight replacement when repair isn’t cost-effective. We work with all major skylight brands and can match existing units or upgrade to more efficient models. Every repair comes with our guarantee because we want your skylight to outlast the next homeowner.
Most skylight repairs in Suffolk County range from $450 to $1,000, depending on what needs to be fixed. Simple resealing or minor flashing repairs are on the lower end, while glass replacement or extensive flashing work costs more.
The key is getting an honest diagnosis first. Many contractors will quote you for a full replacement when a targeted repair would solve the problem for much less. We always look for the most cost-effective solution that actually addresses the root cause, not just the symptoms.
Emergency repairs to stop active leaks can often be done the same day, with permanent fixes scheduled once weather permits proper installation.
Flashing failure is the number one culprit – the metal strips that seal the skylight to your roof deteriorate faster in our coastal environment. Salt air, temperature changes, and UV exposure all accelerate this process.
Seal degradation is also common, especially around older skylights where the original caulking has dried out and cracked. When seals fail, water finds its way in during storms and can cause extensive damage before you even notice the leak.
Ice dams during winter freezes can also force water under flashing and seals. Poor initial installation compounds all these problems – skylights that weren’t properly integrated with your roof system will always be vulnerable points.
A properly executed skylight repair should last 10-15 years in Suffolk County conditions, assuming quality materials and correct installation techniques. The longevity depends heavily on the specific problem that was addressed and the overall condition of your roof system.
Flashing repairs using high-grade materials and proper techniques typically outlast the surrounding roof. Seal replacements should handle our weather extremes without issues for at least a decade. Glass replacements obviously last as long as the new glass remains intact.
The key is addressing all related issues during the repair, not just the obvious problem. A comprehensive repair that fixes underlying causes will always last longer than a quick patch job.
We can perform emergency leak stops any time to prevent ongoing water damage, but permanent repairs require suitable weather conditions for proper installation and curing of sealants.
Emergency measures include temporary weatherproofing from the interior and exterior tarping to stop active leaks. These buy time until conditions allow for permanent repairs that will actually last.
For non-emergency situations, we typically schedule skylight repairs during dry periods when temperatures allow materials to cure properly. Rushing repairs in poor conditions often leads to callbacks and more expensive problems down the road.
If your skylight is less than 15 years old and the structural components are sound, repair is usually the smart choice. Most leaks come from replaceable components like flashing, seals, or glass rather than fundamental design problems.
However, if repairs would cost more than 60% of replacement cost, or if you’re dealing with repeated failures, replacement makes more financial sense. Older skylights with single-pane glass or outdated designs are often worth upgrading to modern, energy-efficient units.
We’ll give you an honest assessment of both options with realistic cost comparisons. Sometimes a $600 repair buys you another decade of service, while other times investing in replacement saves money long-term.
Yes, all our skylight repairs come with a comprehensive warranty covering both materials and workmanship. The specific terms depend on the type of repair, but we stand behind everything we do.
For most repairs, you’re covered for at least two years against leaks or component failures related to our work. If we replace major components like flashing or glass, those warranties extend longer based on manufacturer specifications.
More importantly, we’re a local Suffolk County business with a reputation to maintain. If something goes wrong with our work, we’ll be back to make it right – not because we have to, but because that’s how we do business in this community.
