You get back to enjoying natural light without the constant worry about water damage. No more buckets catching drips or stained ceilings reminding you of the problem.
Your skylight stays watertight through Long Island’s harsh weather conditions. You avoid the costly headache of interior repairs, mold remediation, and structural damage that leaky skylights cause when ignored.
The peace of mind is worth everything—knowing your home is protected and your skylight investment is working properly again.
We bring decades of exterior renovation experience specifically to Remsenburg and Suffolk County homeowners. We understand how Long Island’s intense sun and frequent storms affect skylights differently than other regions.
Our family-owned approach means you get personal attention on every repair. We’ve seen what improper skylight installation and repairs do to homes here, and we’ve built our reputation fixing those problems the right way.
When you call us, you’re working with certified technicians who know the difference between a quick patch and a lasting solution.
We start with a thorough inspection of your skylight and surrounding roof area. Many contractors guess at the problem, but we identify exactly what’s causing your leak—whether it’s damaged flashing, failed seals, or glass issues.
Next, we explain what we found and give you honest options. Sometimes it’s a simple resealing job that costs a few hundred dollars instead of a full replacement that runs thousands.
Then we complete the repair using quality materials designed for Long Island weather conditions. You get a warranty on our work because we stand behind what we do.

Your repair covers everything needed to stop the leak permanently. We inspect and replace damaged flashing, reseal glass panels, and check the structural integrity around your skylight.
In Remsenburg, we see specific issues caused by coastal weather patterns and temperature fluctuations. Your repair addresses these local conditions with materials that handle salt air, high winds, and the freeze-thaw cycles common in Suffolk County.
You also get a detailed explanation of what caused the problem and how to prevent it from happening again. Most skylight issues are preventable with proper maintenance, and we show you exactly what to watch for.
Most skylight repairs in our area cost between $450 and $1,000, depending on what needs fixing. Simple resealing jobs might cost $200-400, while flashing repairs or glass replacement can run $600-1,000.
That’s significantly less than skylight replacement, which typically costs $1,000-4,000 or more. We always give you an honest assessment of whether repair makes sense or if replacement is the better long-term investment.
The exact cost depends on your skylight’s size, type, and accessibility. We provide free estimates so you know exactly what you’re looking at before any work begins.
Most skylights can be repaired successfully, especially if you catch problems early. Common issues like damaged flashing, worn seals, or minor glass cracks are usually repairable at a fraction of replacement cost.
Replacement makes sense when the skylight frame is rotted, the glass is severely damaged, or you’re dealing with an old unit that’s had multiple repairs. We’ll tell you honestly which option makes the most financial sense.
In Suffolk County, we see many skylights that just need proper flashing repair or resealing. The harsh weather here causes specific types of wear that experienced contractors can address without full replacement.
Skylights can leak during dry weather due to condensation issues or thermal expansion problems. Long Island’s temperature swings cause materials to expand and contract, which can open gaps in seals even when there’s no precipitation.
Indoor humidity also plays a role—warm, moist air hitting the cooler skylight glass creates condensation that can look like a leak. Poor ventilation around the skylight makes this worse.
Sometimes what looks like a skylight leak is actually water from another source that’s traveling along roof structures and dripping near the skylight. That’s why proper diagnosis is crucial before starting any repair work.
Most skylight repairs take 2-4 hours to complete, depending on the problem and weather conditions. Simple resealing jobs might be done in an hour, while flashing replacement or glass work takes longer.
We schedule repairs when weather permits proper curing of sealants and materials. In Suffolk County, we work around coastal weather patterns to ensure repairs cure properly and last.
Emergency leak repairs can often be done the same day to prevent further water damage. We’ll install temporary protection if needed while waiting for proper weather conditions to complete permanent repairs.
Suffolk County’s coastal environment is tough on skylight flashing. Salt air accelerates corrosion of metal flashing, while temperature swings cause expansion and contraction that loosens connections over time.
Ice damming in winter and intense summer heat also stress flashing systems. Many skylights here were installed with flashing that wasn’t designed for these specific conditions.
Poor initial installation is another major factor—flashing that isn’t properly integrated with your roof’s water management system will fail prematurely. That’s why we use high-quality materials specifically chosen for Long Island’s climate challenges.
Skylight repair requires working on your roof with specialized materials and techniques, making it risky for most homeowners. Improper repairs often make problems worse and can void manufacturer warranties.
The real issue is diagnosis—what looks like a simple seal problem might actually be structural damage or improper installation that requires professional assessment. DIY fixes often address symptoms rather than root causes.
Professional repairs come with warranties and insurance coverage that protect you if something goes wrong. Given that skylight leaks can cause thousands in interior damage, professional repair is usually the smart financial choice.
