When your skylight stops leaking, you get your peace of mind back. No more scrambling for buckets when it rains. No more worrying about water stains spreading across your ceiling or mold developing in hidden spaces.
Your energy bills stay predictable because drafts disappear and your home maintains consistent temperatures. The natural light you love flows through clear, properly sealed glass instead of fighting through foggy condensation.
Most importantly, you avoid the expensive domino effect that happens when small leaks turn into major structural problems. One properly fixed skylight today prevents thousands in water damage repairs tomorrow.
We’ve been serving Suffolk County families for years, understanding exactly how Long Island weather affects your skylights. We’re not just another contractor passing through—we’re your neighbors who live with the same nor’easters and freeze-thaw cycles.
Our family-owned business knows the specific challenges Poquott homes face, from coastal humidity that creates condensation issues to winter storms that test every seal. When we fix your skylight, we fix it for local conditions that matter.
You’ll work directly with our owner throughout your project. No subcontractors, no surprises, no wondering who’s actually responsible for the work. Just honest communication and skilled craftsmanship that reflects our commitment to your satisfaction.
We start with a thorough inspection to find the real problem, not just the obvious symptoms. Most skylight leaks stem from flashing failures, seal deterioration, or installation problems that aren’t immediately visible from inside your home.
Once we identify the root cause, we explain exactly what’s wrong and what it takes to fix it properly. No technical jargon, no overselling—just clear information so you can make the right decision for your home and budget.
The repair itself focuses on creating lasting solutions using premium materials designed for Long Island weather. We replace failed components, reseal everything to current standards, and test the repair thoroughly before considering the job complete. You get a skylight that works like it should, backed by our commitment to quality workmanship.

Our skylight repair services cover every common problem Poquott homeowners face. Leak repairs address failing flashing, deteriorated seals, and damaged weather stripping that lets water penetrate your roof system during Long Island’s unpredictable weather.
Glass replacement handles cracked or foggy panes that reduce natural light and energy efficiency. We also repair or replace operating mechanisms for vented skylights, ensuring smooth opening and closing for proper ventilation during humid Suffolk County summers.
Condensation issues get resolved through improved insulation and ventilation strategies specific to your home’s design and local climate conditions. Whether your skylight needs minor resealing or comprehensive restoration, we have the expertise and materials to deliver lasting results that protect your investment.
Skylight leak repair typically costs between $225 and $800 in the Poquott area, depending on the source and extent of the problem. Simple resealing jobs might cost as little as $150, while complex flashing repairs or glass replacement can reach $600 or more.
The final cost depends on whether we’re fixing damaged flashing, replacing deteriorated seals, addressing condensation issues, or handling structural problems. Most repairs cost significantly less than full skylight replacement, which can run $2,000 to $5,000.
We provide detailed estimates after inspecting your skylight, so you know exactly what the repair involves and why it costs what it does. No surprises, no hidden fees—just transparent pricing for quality work that lasts.
The most common cause is flashing failure around the skylight perimeter, where metal sealing strips deteriorate or pull away from the roof surface. Long Island’s freeze-thaw cycles cause expansion and contraction that gradually loosen even properly installed flashing.
Seal deterioration also creates leak paths, especially in older skylights where rubber gaskets have hardened and cracked from UV exposure and temperature extremes. Poor original installation compounds these problems by creating weak points that fail prematurely.
Condensation can mimic leak symptoms when warm indoor air meets cold glass, creating water droplets that drip into your home. This happens more frequently in poorly insulated or inadequately ventilated skylights during our humid summers and cold winters.
Yes, foggy skylights can often be repaired depending on what’s causing the cloudiness. If condensation is forming between double-pane glass layers, the sealed unit has failed and needs glass replacement, which typically costs $150 to $600.
Surface fogging on the interior usually indicates humidity problems that we can resolve through improved ventilation and insulation adjustments. This type of repair is generally less expensive and addresses the root cause rather than just the symptoms.
Discolored or yellowed plastic skylights may need complete replacement if the material has degraded beyond repair. However, many apparent “replacement” situations can be resolved with targeted repairs that restore clarity and function at a fraction of replacement cost.
Properly executed skylight repairs using quality materials typically last 10 to 15 years in Long Island’s challenging climate. The longevity depends on the specific repair type and the materials we use to address your skylight’s problems.
Flashing repairs with premium metal components and proper sealants generally outlast the original installation when done correctly. Seal replacements using modern weatherstripping materials resist UV damage and temperature cycling better than older rubber gaskets.
The key is addressing problems completely rather than applying temporary fixes. When we repair your skylight, we use techniques and materials designed for Long Island weather conditions, ensuring repairs hold up through nor’easters, summer heat, and everything in between.
Yes, we provide emergency skylight leak repair when severe weather or sudden failures threaten your home with water damage. We understand that skylight leaks don’t wait for convenient timing, especially during heavy rainstorms or rapid snowmelt.
Our emergency response focuses on immediate water intrusion control through temporary sealing and tarping, followed by permanent repairs once conditions allow safe roof work. We’re available 24/7 because we know water damage gets worse every hour it’s not addressed.
Emergency repairs typically cost more than scheduled work due to urgency and weather conditions, but preventing extensive water damage usually makes the premium worthwhile. We’ll provide temporary solutions to protect your home, then schedule permanent repairs at the earliest safe opportunity.
Repair makes sense when the skylight structure is sound and the problems are isolated to specific components like seals, flashing, or glass. Most skylights under 15 years old with localized issues benefit from targeted repairs that cost much less than replacement.
Replacement becomes the better choice for skylights over 20 years old with multiple problems, extensive frame damage, or outdated single-pane glass that wastes energy. Persistent leaks despite previous repair attempts also indicate replacement is more cost-effective long-term.
We’ll assess your specific situation and recommend the most practical approach based on your skylight’s condition, age, and your budget. Sometimes a $400 repair solves the problem completely, while other situations justify investing in a new skylight for better performance and reliability.
