A leaking skylight doesn’t just drip water—it threatens your ceiling, walls, and everything below. You’ll sleep better knowing your skylight is properly sealed and weatherproofed against Suffolk County’s harsh winters and coastal storms.
No more buckets catching drips. No more stained ceilings or warped floors. No more wondering if today’s rain will cause more damage. When we finish your skylight repair, you get a watertight seal that keeps your home dry and your energy bills lower.
Your skylight will work the way it should—bringing in natural light without bringing in water, wind, or drafts.
We’ve been solving skylight problems for Suffolk County homeowners for years. We’re fully licensed, insured, and know exactly how Long Island weather affects your skylights.
Living near the water means your skylights face salt air, coastal storms, and freeze-thaw cycles that most contractors don’t understand. We do. We’ve repaired thousands of skylights in Patchogue, East Patchogue, and throughout Suffolk County.
When you call us, you’re not getting a fly-by-night operation or someone learning on your roof. You’re getting local professionals who stand behind our work with real guarantees.
First, we inspect your skylight and the surrounding roof area to find the real source of the leak. Most leaks aren’t actually from the skylight glass—they’re from flashing problems, worn seals, or installation issues that happened years ago.
Next, we explain exactly what’s wrong and give you options. Sometimes a simple reseal fixes everything. Other times you need new flashing or weatherstripping. We’ll never push an expensive replacement if a repair will solve your problem.
Then we fix it right the first time using high-quality materials designed for Long Island’s climate. We clean up completely and test everything to make sure your skylight is watertight before we leave.

We repair all types of skylight issues common in Patchogue homes. Cracked glass from hail or debris. Foggy double-pane units that have lost their seal. Leaking flashing around the skylight frame. Broken or stuck venting mechanisms that won’t open or close properly.
Suffolk County’s coastal location creates unique challenges. Salt air corrodes metal components faster. Winter ice dams put extra stress on seals. Summer heat expansion can crack older skylights. We’ve seen it all and know how to fix it permanently.
Whether your skylight is 5 years old or 25 years old, we work with all major brands including Velux, Wasco, Pella, Anderson, and older units like Insuladome and Thermovue. Each brand has different weak points, and we know exactly where to look.
Most skylight repairs in Patchogue cost between $300-$800, depending on what’s wrong. Simple resealing or weatherstripping replacement runs $300-500. Flashing repairs or glass replacement typically costs $500-800.
The good news is that most skylight problems can be repaired rather than replaced. We always look for the most cost-effective solution first. A full skylight replacement can cost $1,500-3,000, so repair usually makes more financial sense.
We provide free estimates so you know the exact cost before we start any work. No surprises, no hidden fees.
A properly done skylight repair should last 10-15 years in Suffolk County’s climate. We use marine-grade sealants and flashing materials designed to handle salt air, temperature swings, and coastal storms.
The key is addressing the root cause, not just the symptoms. If we only patch a leak without fixing the underlying flashing problem, you’ll have the same issue again in a few years. That’s why we do thorough inspections and fix everything properly the first time.
We guarantee our work because we’re confident in our materials and methods. If a repair fails within our warranty period, we come back and make it right at no charge.
We can handle emergency skylight repairs year-round, even in winter. If your skylight is actively leaking during a storm, we’ll get up there and stop the immediate water intrusion with temporary weatherproofing.
For permanent repairs, we prefer dry conditions when possible. But we understand that leaks don’t wait for perfect weather. We carry tarps, temporary sealants, and emergency patching materials to protect your home until we can complete the full repair.
Suffolk County winters are tough on skylights, so we often see more problems during freeze-thaw cycles. We’re prepared for emergency calls and typically respond the same day when weather permits.
Yes, we work on all skylight brands and types commonly found in Patchogue homes. Velux, Wasco, Pella, Anderson, and older brands like Insuladome, Thermovue, and Venterama. Fixed skylights, venting skylights, and tubular skylights.
Each brand has different design flaws and common failure points. Older plastic dome skylights crack differently than modern glass units. Some brands have notorious flashing problems. Others have seal issues. We’ve worked on them all and stock the right parts and materials for each type.
Even if your skylight is 20+ years old or a discontinued model, we can usually find a repair solution. Sometimes we have to fabricate custom flashing or source specialty parts, but we rarely encounter a skylight we can’t fix.
Most skylight leaks in Suffolk County come from three main causes: flashing problems, worn seals, and improper installation. The skylight glass itself rarely leaks unless it’s cracked.
Flashing is the metal or rubber barrier that seals the skylight to your roof. Over time, it can corrode from salt air, shift from house settling, or fail from poor installation. This is the most common leak source we see in Patchogue.
Seals around the glass can deteriorate from UV exposure and temperature swings. Winter freeze-thaw cycles are especially hard on rubber seals. Condensation problems often indicate seal failure or inadequate ventilation around the skylight.
Most leaking skylights can be successfully repaired for a fraction of replacement cost. Unless the skylight frame is severely damaged or the glass is shattered, repair is usually the smart choice financially.
We evaluate each situation honestly. If your skylight is over 20 years old with multiple problems, replacement might make more sense long-term. But if it’s a single issue like worn flashing or failed seals, repair typically gives you many more years of trouble-free service.
Age alone doesn’t determine repairability. We’ve successfully repaired 30-year-old skylights that had good bones but needed new seals and flashing. We’ve also recommended replacement for newer skylights that were poorly installed from the start.
