Skylight Repair Process Peconic

Here's Exactly What We Do

First, we actually find the real problem. Most skylight leaks aren’t where you think they are. We inspect the flashing, check the glass seals, and examine how your skylight connects to the roof structure. No guessing, no band-aid fixes. Next, we explain exactly what’s wrong and what it’ll take to fix it permanently. You’ll understand whether you need new flashing, glass replacement, or just professional resealing. We give you the real story, not a sales pitch. Then we fix it right the first time using materials that can handle Peconic’s weather. We’re not interested in callbacks – we want your skylight working perfectly for years. When we’re done, we test everything thoroughly and clean up like we were never there. You get a repair that actually solves the problem, not just covers it up until the next storm.

Every Type of Skylight Problem Fixed

We handle everything from minor resealing jobs to complete skylight overhauls. Cracked glass, failed flashing, broken mechanisms on vented skylights, foggy double-pane units – if it’s broken, we can fix it. Living in Peconic means your skylights face unique challenges. Our coastal location means salt air that corrodes flashing faster than inland areas. We get nor’easters that test every seal, and summer humidity that reveals any weak spots in your skylight’s vapor barrier. We stock the right materials for our climate – marine-grade sealants that won’t fail in salt air, flashing designed for coastal wind loads, and glass units that can handle our temperature swings. Most contractors use whatever’s cheapest. We use what actually works here. Every repair comes with our guarantee because we stand behind our work. When you’re dealing with something over your head that could cause serious water damage, you want contractors who take responsibility for getting it right.

How do I know if my skylight leak is actually fixable?

Most skylight leaks are absolutely fixable, even ones that look pretty bad. The key is getting the right diagnosis first. If you’re seeing water stains or actual dripping, that doesn’t automatically mean you need a whole new skylight. Often it’s damaged flashing around the edges, worn-out seals, or debris that’s created a pathway for water. These are straightforward repairs when done properly. The skylights that usually need replacement are ones with cracked glass that can’t be sealed, units where the frame itself is rotted out, or very old plastic skylights that have become brittle. But even then, sometimes a repair can buy you time to plan for replacement properly instead of dealing with an emergency. We always start with a thorough inspection to tell you exactly what you’re dealing with. No point in replacing something that just needs new flashing.

Why does my skylight only leak during certain types of storms?

This actually tells us a lot about what’s wrong with your skylight. Different leak patterns point to different problems. If it only leaks during heavy rain with strong winds, that usually means the flashing is compromised but not completely failed. Wind-driven rain finds ways through small gaps that normal rain can’t penetrate. If it leaks during any rain at all, you’re probably looking at more significant seal failure. Leaks that only happen with ice dams or snow buildup are different altogether – that’s usually a drainage or insulation issue rather than basic seal failure. And if you only get leaks during rapid temperature changes, that points to expansion and contraction problems with the sealing materials. The good news is that each pattern gives us a roadmap for the most effective repair. We don’t have to guess what’s failing when the symptoms tell us exactly where to look.

How long do skylight repairs typically last in Peconic's climate?

When done right with proper materials, skylight repairs should last 10-15 years minimum in our coastal environment. The key is using materials designed for salt air and temperature swings. Most repair failures happen because contractors use standard residential sealants and flashing that aren’t rated for coastal conditions. Regular caulk might last two years here before salt air breaks it down. Marine-grade sealants and properly coated flashing materials hold up much longer. We also see failures when repairs don’t address the underlying cause. If your skylight leaks because of improper drainage, just resealing it won’t solve anything long-term. The water will find another way through within a season or two. That’s why we focus on comprehensive repairs that fix the root problem, not just the symptoms. A properly executed repair using the right materials should handle everything Peconic weather throws at it for many years.

What's the difference between repairing and replacing my skylight?

The decision usually comes down to the condition of the frame and glass, plus the cost difference. Repairs make sense when the basic structure is sound but seals or flashing have failed. If your skylight frame is solid, the glass isn’t cracked, and the leak is coming from perimeter sealing or flashing issues, repair is almost always the smart choice. You’re looking at a fraction of replacement cost for results that can last just as long. Replacement makes sense when the glass is cracked beyond repair, the frame is rotted or warped, or you’re dealing with an old plastic skylight that’s become brittle. Also, if you want to upgrade to energy-efficient glass or add features like remote operation, replacement gives you those options. We’ll always tell you honestly which approach makes more sense for your situation. Sometimes a repair can give you several more years while you plan for eventual replacement. Other times, replacement is the only real solution.

Can you fix skylights that fog up between the glass panes?

Fogging between glass panes means the seal around the insulated glass unit has failed, and that specific problem usually requires glass replacement rather than repair. When you see condensation or fogging between the panes, moisture has gotten into the sealed airspace. Once that happens, you can’t just reseal it from the outside – the moisture trapped inside will keep causing problems even if you stop new moisture from getting in. However, replacing just the glass unit is often much less expensive than replacing the entire skylight. If your frame and flashing are in good shape, we can often install a new insulated glass unit in the existing frame. The exception is single-pane skylights, where fogging usually happens on the interior surface due to humidity and temperature differences. That can often be addressed with better ventilation or minor sealing improvements rather than glass replacement.

How quickly can you respond to emergency skylight leaks?

For genuine emergencies where water is actively coming into your home, we can usually get someone out the same day to at least stop the immediate damage. Emergency response depends on the situation and weather conditions, but we understand that skylight leaks don’t wait for convenient timing. If you’re dealing with active water intrusion, we’ll prioritize getting a temporary fix in place to protect your home while we plan the permanent repair. Sometimes that means tarping or temporary sealing until weather permits proper repair work. Other times we can complete the full repair immediately if conditions allow and we have the right materials on hand. We keep common skylight repair materials in stock specifically so we don’t have to tell customers to live with buckets for a week while parts are ordered. When you call with a leak, our goal is to stop the water damage as quickly as safely possible.
