When your skylight stops leaking, everything changes. No more water stains creeping across your ceiling. No more scrambling for buckets during storms. No more worrying about what that dripping water is doing to your walls, floors, and belongings.
You get back to enjoying the natural light your skylight was meant to provide. Your energy bills stay predictable because you’re not losing heated or cooled air through gaps and cracks. Most importantly, you have peace of mind knowing the problem is actually fixed – not just temporarily patched.
That’s what happens when Suffolk County homeowners choose experienced skylight repair specialists who understand how Long Island’s weather affects these installations. You get solutions that work the first time and keep working for years to come.
We bring decades of exterior renovation expertise to every skylight repair in Islip and throughout Suffolk County. This isn’t a side business for us – it’s a family legacy built on solving exactly these kinds of problems for homeowners who need them fixed right.
We’re fully licensed and insured because that’s what serious contractors do. We understand how Long Island’s intense summer sun, winter storms, and coastal conditions affect skylights differently than other parts of the country. That local knowledge makes the difference between a repair that lasts and one that fails again next season.
Suffolk County homeowners have trusted us with their most important investment – their homes – because we combine old-school craftsmanship with modern techniques and materials. When we say we’ll fix your skylight problem, we mean it.
We start with a thorough inspection to find the real source of your skylight problem. Not just the obvious leak, but what’s actually causing it. Sometimes it’s damaged flashing. Sometimes it’s weather seals that have deteriorated from Long Island’s sun exposure. Sometimes it’s a structural issue that’s been building for years.
Once we know exactly what we’re dealing with, we explain everything in plain terms. What needs to be fixed, why it happened, and what it’ll take to prevent it from happening again. No surprises, no upselling, just honest assessment from contractors who’ve seen it all.
The actual repair work depends on what your skylight needs, but our approach stays the same. We use quality materials designed for Suffolk County’s climate. We work efficiently because we know you want your home back to normal. And we clean up completely because that’s what professionals do.

Skylight leak repair is just the beginning of what we handle for Islip homeowners. Cracked glass from hail damage, foggy double-pane units that have lost their seal, flashing that’s pulling away from the roof – we’ve repaired them all. We also handle the mechanical components on vented skylights when motors fail or controls stop responding.
What makes Suffolk County skylight problems unique is how our coastal weather accelerates certain types of damage. Salt air affects metal components differently. Temperature swings between summer and winter cause more expansion and contraction than inland areas experience. Our repair methods account for these local conditions.
For emergency situations – like when a storm damages your skylight and water is actively coming into your home – we provide rapid response service. Because we know that water damage doesn’t wait for business hours, and neither should quality repair service.
Most skylight repairs in Suffolk County range from $372 to $464 for standard issues like flashing problems or weather seal replacement. The exact cost depends on what’s actually wrong with your skylight and how extensive the damage is.
Simple fixes like replacing deteriorated weather seals might take just a few minutes and cost on the lower end of that range. More complex repairs involving structural work, electrical components on vented skylights, or significant flashing replacement will cost more. If your skylight has sustained major damage from hail or fallen debris, replacement might be more cost-effective than repair.
We provide honest, upfront estimates so you know exactly what you’re paying for before any work begins. No hidden fees, no surprise charges – just transparent pricing from licensed Suffolk County contractors.
Skylights can leak during dry weather due to condensation problems, which are especially common in Suffolk County’s humid climate. When warm, moist indoor air meets the cooler skylight surface, condensation forms and can drip down just like rainwater.
This happens more frequently when skylights lack proper insulation or when the insulation has shifted and touches the glass. Poor ventilation around the skylight area makes the problem worse. Sometimes what looks like a leak is actually condensation that’s been building up and finally dripping down.
Long Island’s temperature swings between seasons also cause skylight materials to expand and contract, which can create small gaps that let in moisture even when it’s not actively raining. That’s why professional diagnosis is so important – you need to fix the actual cause, not just the symptoms.
Most skylight repairs can be completed in a single day, often within a few hours depending on the complexity of the problem. Simple weather seal replacement or minor flashing adjustments might take just an hour or two. More extensive repairs involving structural work or electrical components typically require a full day.
Emergency repairs to stop active leaking can often be done immediately to protect your home, with permanent repairs scheduled for the next available appointment. We understand that skylight problems disrupt your daily life and work efficiently to get everything back to normal as quickly as possible.
The timeline also depends on whether we need to order specific parts or materials for your particular skylight model. Most repairs use standard materials we keep in stock, but some specialty skylights require manufacturer-specific components that might add a day or two to the process.
When skylight repairs are done correctly using quality materials and proper techniques, they should last for many years without recurring problems. That’s why we back our work with a lifetime warranty – we’re confident in the repairs we perform.
The key is addressing the root cause of the problem, not just the visible symptoms. Many skylight “repairs” fail because contractors only patch the obvious leak without fixing what’s actually causing it. We thoroughly inspect the entire skylight system – glass, frame, flashing, seals, and surrounding roof structure – to identify and fix everything that needs attention.
Suffolk County’s weather conditions do require repairs that account for our specific climate challenges. Contractors who understand how Long Island’s sun exposure, salt air, and temperature swings affect skylight materials are much more likely to provide repairs that last. That local expertise makes all the difference.
Yes, we handle storm damage repairs including cracked glass from hail, damaged frames from fallen branches, and compromised flashing from high winds. Storm damage often requires immediate attention to prevent water from entering your home and causing additional problems.
For emergency situations, we provide rapid response service to temporarily secure the area and stop active leaking. Then we work with you to develop a permanent repair plan. Many storm damage repairs are covered by homeowners insurance, and we can work with your insurance company to document the damage and ensure proper repairs.
Hail damage is particularly common in Suffolk County and often starts as small chips that gradually develop into larger cracks. Even minor storm damage should be addressed quickly because small problems become expensive problems when left untreated. Our experience with insurance claims helps streamline the process so you can get your skylight repaired without unnecessary delays.
We repair all types of skylights commonly found in Suffolk County homes, including fixed skylights, vented skylights with manual or electric operation, tubular skylights, and specialty shapes like domed or pyramid skylights. Each type has its own common problems and repair requirements.
Fixed skylights typically need flashing or seal repairs. Vented skylights often require mechanical component service in addition to weatherproofing work. Tubular skylights are particularly susceptible to water damage due to their structure and may need complete replacement more often than other types.
We also work with all major skylight brands including Velux, which is popular in this area due to their quality and durability. Whether your skylight is 5 years old or 25 years old, we have the experience and materials needed to restore it to proper working condition. Our decades of experience means we’ve seen virtually every skylight problem that occurs in Long Island homes.
