No more buckets catching drips. No more stained ceilings or warped floors. When we finish your skylight repair, you get back to living without worrying about the next storm.
Most Oak Beach homeowners think their whole skylight needs replacing when they see water damage. The truth? Many leaks come from simple flashing issues or worn seals that cost a fraction of full replacement. We’ll tell you exactly what’s wrong and what it’ll take to fix it.
Your home deserves better than temporary patches. Our repairs address the root cause, whether it’s damaged flashing from coastal winds or cracked glass from debris. You get lasting protection that holds up to Oak Beach’s weather year after year.
We’ve been serving Oak Beach and Suffolk County families for years. We’re not a big corporate outfit – we’re your neighbors who understand what coastal weather does to skylights.
Our team knows the difference between a skylight problem and a roof problem. Too many contractors blame the skylight when the real issue is elsewhere on your roof. We diagnose it right, fix it right, and guarantee our work.
When you call us, you’re working with licensed, insured professionals who’ve seen every type of skylight issue Oak Beach homes face. From storm damage to age-related wear, we know what works and what doesn’t in this climate.
First, we inspect your skylight and the surrounding roof area. Many leaks aren’t actually skylight failures – they’re flashing problems or roof issues that show up around the skylight. We find the real source.
Next, we explain exactly what’s wrong and what it’ll cost to fix. No upselling, no scare tactics. If your skylight just needs new seals, we’ll tell you that. If the glass is cracked beyond repair, we’ll be honest about that too.
Then we fix it using quality materials designed for coastal conditions. Whether it’s resealing, flashing repair, or glass replacement, we do it right. Most repairs are completed the same day, weather permitting.

We handle everything from emergency leak fixes to complete skylight overhauls. Cracked glass, damaged flashing, failed seals, foggy double-pane units, broken venting mechanisms – we’ve repaired them all in Oak Beach homes.
Living near the water means your skylight faces salt air, strong winds, and driving rain. Standard repairs don’t always hold up here. We use marine-grade sealants and corrosion-resistant flashing materials that can handle what the Atlantic throws at them.
Our service includes a thorough inspection of not just the skylight, but the surrounding roof structure. Oak Beach’s sandy soil can cause settling that affects skylight alignment. We check for structural issues that could cause future problems and address them during the repair.
Many homeowners blame their skylight when water appears nearby, but the leak often comes from somewhere else on the roof. Real skylight leaks typically show water coming directly through the glass or around the frame edges.
If water appears during heavy rain but not light rain, it’s usually a flashing or roof issue, not the skylight itself. We see this constantly in Oak Beach – the coastal winds drive rain into roof penetrations and damaged shingles, and it shows up around the skylight.
The only way to know for sure is professional inspection. We check the skylight, flashing, surrounding shingles, and roof structure to find where water actually enters. Don’t spend money on skylight replacement when you might just need roof repair.
Salt air is the biggest culprit. It corrodes metal flashing and degrades rubber seals faster than inland areas. The constant temperature changes from ocean breezes also cause expansion and contraction that can crack seals over time.
Wind-driven debris is another major factor. Oak Beach gets everything from sand to tree branches hitting skylights during storms. Even small impacts can crack glass or damage the frame enough to let water in.
UV exposure is intense near the water, especially with reflection off the ocean. This breaks down plastic components and makes rubber seals brittle. Quality materials designed for marine environments last much longer here than standard residential products.
Fogging between glass panes means the seal has failed and moisture has entered the airspace. This can’t be fixed by cleaning – the sealed unit needs to be replaced or rebuilt.
For double-pane skylights, we can often replace just the glass unit without disturbing the frame or flashing. This costs much less than full skylight replacement and solves the fogging problem permanently.
Single-pane skylights that appear cloudy might just need thorough cleaning, especially in Oak Beach where salt spray leaves residue. We’ll assess whether it’s surface buildup or actual glass damage before recommending replacement.
Quality repairs using marine-grade materials typically last 10-15 years in Oak Beach’s coastal environment. Cheap fixes with standard residential products might only last 2-3 years before failing again.
The key is using the right materials for the location. We use sealants and flashing designed for marine applications, not standard residential products. These cost more upfront but save money long-term by lasting much longer.
Proper installation matters as much as materials. Flashing must be installed to shed water effectively in driving rain, and all penetrations must be sealed to prevent salt air infiltration. Shortcuts here lead to premature failure.
Yes, we provide same-day emergency service for active leaks. We understand that skylight leaks don’t wait for convenient times – they happen during storms when you need help most.
Emergency repairs focus on stopping water entry immediately, then scheduling permanent fixes once weather permits. We carry tarps, temporary sealants, and emergency flashing materials to protect your home until proper repairs can be completed.
For Oak Beach homes, we stock materials specifically for coastal emergency repairs. Standard emergency patches often fail in salt air and high winds. Our emergency solutions are designed to hold up until we can return for permanent repairs.
Most skylight repairs in Oak Beach cost between $450-$1000, depending on what needs fixing. Simple seal replacement might be $450-$600, while flashing repair or glass replacement runs $600-$1000.
Full skylight replacement typically costs $1000-$4000 or more, depending on size and features. The unit itself runs $500-$2500, plus installation costs. Vented units and specialty features increase the price significantly.
Many leaks can be repaired for a fraction of replacement cost. We’ll always tell you honestly whether repair makes sense or if replacement is the better long-term investment. Sometimes a $600 repair buys you 10+ more years, making it much more cost-effective than replacement.
