Water dripping through your skylight isn’t just annoying—it’s a warning sign. Left alone, that small leak turns into rotted wood, damaged drywall, and potential mold growth throughout your Medford home.
When we fix your skylight properly, you get back to normal life. No more buckets catching drips. No more staring at water stains on your ceiling. No more wondering if the next storm will make it worse.
The difference is in the diagnosis. We don’t just patch what’s visible—we find why it’s leaking in the first place and fix it right.
We’ve been fixing skylights across Suffolk County since we started as a family business. We’ve seen every type of leak, from simple flashing issues to complex structural problems.
What sets us apart in Medford is straightforward: we actually show up when we say we will, we explain what’s wrong before we start, and we guarantee our work. Our team knows Suffolk County weather patterns, local building codes, and how homes in this area age over time.
We’re the contractors your neighbors recommend because we treat your home like it’s our own.
First, we inspect your entire skylight system—not just where you see the leak. Most homeowners think the water is coming from directly above the drip, but skylights are more complex than that. We check the flashing, seals, glass condition, and surrounding roof area.
Next, we explain exactly what we found and what needs to be fixed. No surprises, no upselling. If it’s a simple weatherstripping issue, we’ll tell you. If the flashing needs replacement, we’ll show you why.
Then we fix it properly using quality materials designed for Long Island weather. We test everything before we leave and clean up completely. You get a guarantee on our work because we’re confident it’s done right.

Every skylight repair includes a comprehensive inspection of your entire skylight system. We check flashing condition, seal integrity, glass for cracks or fogging, and the surrounding roof area for potential issues.
For Medford homes, we pay special attention to how Suffolk County’s coastal weather affects skylight components. The salt air, temperature swings, and storm patterns here create specific challenges that require local expertise.
Our repairs cover everything from simple resealing to complete flashing replacement. We use materials rated for coastal environments and back everything with a solid warranty. Most repairs cost significantly less than full replacement—typically $450 to $1,000 versus $3,000+ for a new skylight installation.
Most skylight repairs in Medford cost between $450 and $1,000, depending on what needs to be fixed. Simple resealing or weatherstripping replacement runs on the lower end, while flashing repair or glass replacement costs more.
The key is getting an accurate diagnosis first. Many leaks that seem major are actually simple fixes—but you won’t know until a professional inspects the entire system. We provide free estimates so you know exactly what you’re dealing with before any work begins.
Compare this to skylight replacement, which typically runs $3,000 to $4,000 or more. Proper repair is almost always the smarter choice unless your skylight is severely damaged or extremely old.
This is more common than you’d think, especially in Suffolk County homes. Skylights can leak during dry weather due to condensation issues, thermal expansion and contraction, or damaged seals that allow moisture infiltration.
Temperature changes cause skylight materials to expand and contract, which can open small gaps in seals or flashing. Humidity differences between your home’s interior and exterior can create condensation that appears as leaking. Poor ventilation around the skylight area makes this worse.
The solution requires identifying the specific cause through proper inspection. Sometimes it’s as simple as improving ventilation or replacing worn weather seals. Other times, the flashing needs adjustment to accommodate normal building movement.
Quality skylight repairs should last 10-15 years when done properly with the right materials. The longevity depends on what was repaired, the quality of materials used, and Suffolk County’s weather conditions.
Flashing repairs typically last the longest because metal flashing is durable and handles weather well. Seal and weatherstripping replacements may need attention sooner, usually every 8-12 years, depending on exposure and maintenance.
The key is using materials rated for coastal environments like ours in Medford. Cheaper materials might save money upfront but fail faster in salt air and temperature swings. We use marine-grade sealants and galvanized or aluminum flashing that stands up to Long Island weather.
Repair is usually the smarter choice unless your skylight is over 20 years old or severely damaged. Most leaks are caused by flashing issues, worn seals, or minor glass problems—all of which can be repaired effectively for much less than replacement cost.
Consider replacement if the skylight frame is rotted, the glass is severely cracked or fogged throughout, or if you’re already planning roof work. Replacement makes sense during roof replacement because the labor costs overlap.
We’ll give you an honest assessment of both options. If repair will cost more than 60% of replacement cost, or if the skylight will likely need more work soon, we’ll recommend replacement. But most of the time, proper repair gets you many more years of reliable service.
Yes, absolutely. Water from skylight leaks can cause extensive damage to your Medford home if not addressed quickly. The water doesn’t just stay where you see it dripping—it spreads through roof decking, insulation, and wall framing.
Common damage includes rotted roof decking, damaged insulation that loses effectiveness, mold growth in wall cavities, and ceiling and wall damage that requires extensive repair. In Suffolk County’s humid climate, mold can develop quickly once moisture gets into building materials.
The good news is that catching leaks early prevents most serious damage. If you see water stains, feel dampness, or notice any signs of moisture around your skylight, get it inspected immediately. Early repair costs a few hundred dollars—waiting can cost thousands in structural repairs.
Yes, we guarantee all our skylight repair work. The specific warranty depends on what type of repair we perform, but we stand behind our workmanship and materials. Most repairs come with a minimum 2-year guarantee on labor and materials.
For major repairs like flashing replacement, we typically provide longer warranties because these repairs should last many years when done properly. We use quality materials designed for Suffolk County’s coastal environment and install them according to manufacturer specifications.
If you have any issues with our repair work during the warranty period, we’ll return to fix it at no charge. We’ve been serving Medford homeowners for over two decades, and our reputation depends on standing behind our work. Most of our business comes from referrals, so we make sure every job is done right the first time.
