Picture walking into your home without worrying about water stains on your ceiling or scrambling for buckets when it rains. That’s what happens when your skylight repair is done right the first time.
Most skylight problems aren’t actually skylight problems at all. They’re flashing issues, seal failures, or installation mistakes that keep coming back because they weren’t properly diagnosed. We find the real source and fix it permanently.
You get a dry home, lower energy bills from proper sealing, and the peace of mind that comes with knowing your repair won’t fail next season. No more emergency calls, no more interior damage, no more headaches.
We’ve been protecting Suffolk County homes for years as a family-owned business that actually understands what Mastic homeowners deal with. We’ve seen every type of skylight problem this area throws at properties.
From the freeze-thaw cycles that crack seals to the heavy storms that test flashing, we know how Long Island weather affects your skylights. That local knowledge means faster diagnosis and repairs that last.
Our team doesn’t just fix the obvious problem and leave. We inspect the entire skylight system, identify potential issues before they become expensive problems, and make sure you won’t be calling another contractor in six months.
First, we inspect your skylight from both inside and outside to find the real source of the problem. Most leaks aren’t where you think they are, and fixing the wrong spot just wastes your money.
Next, we explain exactly what’s wrong and what needs to happen. No confusing technical jargon or unnecessary upselling. Just straight talk about what will actually solve your problem and what it will cost.
Then we fix it using the right materials and proper techniques. Whether it’s replacing damaged flashing, resealing glass, or addressing structural issues, we do it once and do it right. You get a written guarantee, and we clean up completely before we leave.

Our skylight repair covers every problem you’re likely to face in Mastic. Leaking flashing gets completely replaced with high-grade materials designed for Long Island’s weather patterns. Cracked or foggy glass gets professionally replaced with energy-efficient options that actually improve your home’s insulation.
Worn seals and gaskets get updated with modern materials that expand and contract properly through our seasonal temperature swings. If your skylight mechanism isn’t opening or closing correctly, we repair or replace the hardware with components built to last.
We also handle the problems that aren’t obvious from the ground. Condensation issues that create mold problems, structural settling that throws skylights out of alignment, and roof deck problems that cause recurring leaks. When we’re done, your skylight works like it should and stays that way.
Most skylight leaks can be repaired effectively without full replacement. The key is proper diagnosis of the actual problem source.
If your skylight glass is cracked, severely fogged, or the frame is structurally damaged, replacement makes more sense. But if the issue is damaged flashing, worn seals, or installation problems, repair is usually the better option both financially and practically.
We inspect the entire system before recommending anything. Age matters too – skylights over 15-20 years old with multiple issues often benefit from replacement, while newer units with isolated problems typically just need targeted repairs.
The most common cause in our area is flashing failure due to Long Island’s freeze-thaw cycles. Water gets into small gaps, freezes, expands, and creates bigger openings that let more water in.
Improper installation is another major culprit. Many skylights leak because they weren’t sealed correctly during initial installation or roof work. The flashing wasn’t integrated properly with the roofing system, or the wrong materials were used.
Weather seal deterioration happens naturally over time, especially with our sun exposure and temperature swings. These seals become brittle, crack, and allow water penetration around the skylight frame.
Properly done skylight repairs should last 10-15 years or more when quality materials and correct techniques are used. The longevity depends on what exactly was repaired and how well the work was executed.
Flashing repairs using high-grade materials and proper installation methods typically outlast the surrounding roof. Seal replacements with modern compounds designed for temperature cycling can last decades in our climate.
The key is addressing the root cause, not just the symptoms. Quick fixes that don’t solve the underlying problem might stop leaks temporarily but fail within a few seasons. That’s why proper diagnosis and quality repair work matter so much.
Yes, most skylight repairs can be completed year-round, though timing and weather conditions affect the process. Emergency leak repairs often can’t wait for perfect weather anyway.
Interior work like replacing damaged drywall or addressing condensation issues can be done anytime. Exterior repairs require dry conditions and temperatures above freezing for proper sealant curing, but we can often work around weather windows.
For non-emergency situations, spring and fall offer the best conditions for comprehensive repairs. But if your skylight is actively leaking and causing interior damage, we’ll find a way to stop the water intrusion even in challenging conditions.
Skylight repair addresses specific problems like leaks, cracks, or mechanical failures. Maintenance is preventive work that keeps problems from developing in the first place.
Repair work involves replacing damaged components, fixing leaks, or addressing structural issues. This is reactive – something is already wrong and needs fixing. Repairs typically come with warranties and solve immediate problems.
Maintenance includes cleaning, inspecting seals, checking flashing condition, and minor adjustments before problems develop. Regular maintenance can extend skylight life significantly and catch small issues before they become expensive repairs. Most homeowners should have skylights inspected every few years.
Skylight repair costs vary widely depending on what actually needs fixing. Simple seal replacement or minor flashing repairs might cost a few hundred dollars, while extensive flashing replacement or structural work can run into thousands.
The age and type of skylight affects pricing too. Standard residential skylights are generally less expensive to repair than custom or commercial units. Accessibility also matters – skylights on steep roofs or hard-to-reach areas cost more to service.
We always provide upfront pricing after proper inspection. Many repairs are surprisingly affordable compared to full replacement, and catching problems early usually means lower repair costs. Emergency service during storms or severe weather may include premium pricing for immediate response.
