Hear from Our Customers
You know that sinking feeling when you spot water stains spreading across your ceiling. Or when you hear dripping during the next storm, wondering how much damage is happening inside your walls.
Here’s what changes when we fix your skylight right: no more buckets catching drips, no more worrying about mold growing in your attic, no more expensive emergency calls during the next big storm. Your home stays protected, your energy bills don’t spike from air leaks, and you can actually enjoy the natural light your skylight was meant to provide.
Most Lake Ronkonkoma homeowners are surprised how affordable the right repair can be—especially compared to the cost of ignoring the problem.
We at SkyLuxe Construction have been solving skylight problems for Suffolk County homeowners for years. We’re the family-owned company that understands what Lake Ronkonkoma’s unpredictable weather does to your roof.
From scorching summer heat that warps seals to harsh winter storms that test every flashing joint, we’ve seen how Long Island’s climate creates unique challenges. That’s why we don’t just patch problems—we fix them permanently using methods that work in our local conditions.
We’re fully licensed and insured, with the certifications Suffolk County requires and the experience your home deserves.
First, we inspect the obvious spots and the hidden ones. Most skylight leaks aren’t where you think they are—water travels along roof decking before it drips into your home.
We check the flashing around your skylight, examine the roof cement and sealants, test the skylight’s weather-stripping, and look for any structural issues that could cause future problems. Many companies stop at the visible damage, but we find the root cause.
Then we explain exactly what needs fixing and why. No surprises, no upselling services you don’t need. We handle everything from simple resealing to complete flashing replacement, using materials designed for Suffolk County’s weather patterns.
Same-day service is available for most repairs, and we guarantee our work stops the leak.

We handle the full range of skylight issues Lake Ronkonkoma homeowners face: leaking frames, cracked glass, foggy double-pane units, damaged flashing, failed weather seals, and motor problems on vented skylights.
Suffolk County’s weather is particularly hard on skylights. The coastal humidity causes condensation issues, winter freeze-thaw cycles crack seals, and summer heat warps materials over time. We’ve developed repair methods specifically for these local conditions.
Whether your skylight needs new flashing, glass replacement, motor repair, or complete resealing, we use quality materials and proven techniques. Most repairs cost between $450-$1,000 depending on the scope—much less than the water damage you’ll face if the problem continues.
Most skylight leaks can be repaired effectively without full replacement. The key factors are the age of your skylight, the extent of water damage to surrounding materials, and whether the skylight frame itself is compromised.
If your skylight is less than 20 years old and the leak is coming from failed flashing, worn weather seals, or minor glass cracks, repair is usually the smart choice. However, if the skylight frame is rotted, the glass is severely damaged, or you’re dealing with repeated leaks despite previous repairs, replacement might be more cost-effective long-term.
We’ll give you an honest assessment during our inspection and explain your options clearly, including the pros and cons of each approach.
This is actually more common than you’d think, especially in Suffolk County’s humid climate. When your skylight leaks during dry weather, it’s usually a condensation problem rather than a traditional water leak.
Poor insulation around the skylight shaft allows warm, humid air to hit the cold glass surface, creating condensation that drips down like a leak. This often happens in bathrooms, kitchens, or during temperature swings between day and night.
The solution involves improving ventilation around the skylight, adding proper insulation, and sometimes installing a vapor barrier. We can identify whether you’re dealing with condensation or an actual leak and fix the underlying cause.
Most skylight repairs in our area range from $450 to $1,000, depending on what’s actually wrong. Simple resealing jobs might cost less, while extensive flashing replacement or glass repair can be on the higher end.
The good news is that proper repair is almost always much cheaper than replacement (which can run $1,500-$4,000) and definitely cheaper than the water damage you’ll face if you ignore the problem. We’ve seen homeowners spend thousands on drywall, insulation, and mold remediation that could have been prevented with a $600 repair.
We provide upfront pricing after our inspection, so you know exactly what you’re paying before we start work. No surprises or hidden fees.
Yes, we offer same-day service for most skylight repairs, especially emergency situations where water is actively entering your home. We understand that skylight leaks can’t wait, particularly during storm season.
For emergency repairs, we can often provide temporary weatherproofing within hours to stop immediate damage, then return to complete permanent repairs when conditions allow. Our goal is to protect your home first, then provide the lasting solution you need.
Keep in mind that some complex repairs requiring special materials or extensive flashing work might take longer, but we’ll always communicate timing clearly and protect your home in the meantime.
Long Island’s weather is particularly tough on skylights. Our coastal humidity accelerates seal deterioration, while the freeze-thaw cycles we get in winter cause materials to expand and contract, eventually creating gaps where water can enter.
Summer heat is another major factor—it can warp plastic components and cause sealants to become brittle and crack. The combination of salt air, temperature extremes, and occasional severe storms creates the perfect storm for skylight problems.
That’s why we use materials specifically chosen for our local climate and install them using techniques that account for Suffolk County’s weather patterns. It’s not enough to fix the immediate problem—we need to prevent it from happening again.
Call us immediately if you see active water dripping, spreading ceiling stains, or any signs of electrical issues near the skylight. These situations can cause serious damage quickly and may pose safety risks.
Other urgent signs include large cracks in the glass, completely separated flashing, or water pooling around the skylight during or after storms. Even if the leak seems small, water damage accelerates rapidly in our humid climate, and mold can start growing within 24-48 hours.
When in doubt, it’s better to have us take a quick look than to risk extensive damage. We can often tell you over the phone whether your situation needs immediate attention or can wait for scheduled service.
