Your skylight leak isn’t just an annoyance—it’s a threat to your walls, ceiling, and everything below. Water finds its way into places you can’t see, creating mold, rot, and expensive damage that grows worse every day you wait.
When we fix your skylight properly, you get back to enjoying natural light without the stress of buckets and towels. No more staring at water stains on your ceiling or worrying about the next storm.
The difference between a quick patch and a real repair is whether you’ll be dealing with this problem again next year. We handle skylight issues the right way, so you can forget about them.
SkyLuxe Construction has been solving Suffolk County’s toughest exterior problems for years. We’re not just another contractor—we’re your neighbors, dealing with the same coastal weather, salt air, and intense summer sun that beats down on your skylights.
We’ve seen what Long Island weather does to skylights. The freeze-thaw cycles that crack seals, the UV exposure that breaks down materials, the nor’easters that test every weak point. That local knowledge makes all the difference between a repair that holds and one that fails.
Our family business built its reputation on being straight with people. We’ll tell you if your skylight needs a simple reseal or if it’s time for replacement. No games, no upselling—just honest assessments from people who’ve been doing this work in Sagaponack and surrounding areas long enough to know what actually works.
We start with a complete inspection of your skylight and the surrounding roof area. Most contractors just look at the obvious problem, but skylight leaks often stem from flashing issues, compromised roofing materials, or attachment problems that aren’t immediately visible.
Once we identify the real source of the problem, we explain what needs to happen and why. You’ll understand exactly what we’re fixing and how it prevents future issues. We don’t just patch symptoms—we address the underlying cause.
The repair itself uses quality materials matched to your existing skylight and roofing system. We pay attention to details like proper sealing, flashing integrity, and weatherproofing that holds up to Suffolk County’s challenging climate. When we’re done, we clean up completely and walk you through what we’ve accomplished, so you know your skylight is truly fixed.

Whether you’re dealing with a minor leak or major damage, we handle every type of skylight repair common to Sagaponack homes. Cracked glass, failed seals, damaged flashing, foggy double-pane units, broken motors on vented skylights—we’ve seen it all and know how to fix it properly.
Suffolk County’s coastal location creates unique challenges for skylights. Salt air accelerates corrosion of metal components, intense summer sun degrades seals and gaskets faster than inland areas, and winter storms test every seal and joint. We stock materials specifically chosen to handle these local conditions.
Our repair services include emergency leak fixes when storms cause immediate damage, routine maintenance to extend skylight life, and complete restoration of older skylights that are worth saving. We can also advise when replacement makes more sense than continued repairs, helping you make informed decisions about your home’s needs.
Any water coming through your skylight should be addressed quickly, but some signs indicate more urgent problems. If you see water stains spreading on your ceiling, notice wet drywall, or smell musty odors near the skylight, these suggest water is getting into places where it can cause structural damage and mold growth.
Even small leaks can become big problems fast in Suffolk County’s climate. The freeze-thaw cycles we get each winter cause small cracks to expand, and our humid summers create perfect conditions for mold in damp areas.
The safest approach is to have any skylight leak inspected professionally as soon as you notice it. What looks like a minor drip could indicate failing flashing or compromised seals that will only get worse with time.
A properly diagnosed and repaired skylight leak can absolutely be fixed permanently. The key is identifying the actual source of the problem, not just treating the symptoms. Many failed repairs happen because contractors only address where water is visible, not where it’s actually entering.
Common causes include deteriorated flashing around the skylight frame, failed seals between glass and frame, or problems with how the skylight connects to your roof structure. Each requires a different repair approach using appropriate materials and techniques.
When we fix a skylight leak, we address the root cause and use materials designed for Long Island’s climate conditions. That means considering salt air exposure, UV intensity, and temperature extremes that affect material performance. Done right, a skylight repair should last for many years without recurring issues.
Skylight repair costs vary significantly based on what’s actually wrong and how extensive the damage is. Simple resealing jobs might cost a few hundred dollars, while replacing damaged flashing or glass components can run into the thousands.
The good news is that many skylight leaks we see are caused by relatively minor issues like deteriorated weather seals or loose flashing that can be repaired affordably. We always start with a thorough inspection to determine exactly what needs attention before providing cost estimates.
We’re upfront about pricing and won’t try to sell you repairs you don’t need. If your skylight is beyond economical repair, we’ll tell you honestly and help you understand your replacement options. Our goal is solving your problem in the most cost-effective way possible.
Skylight repairs involve working on your roof and require proper diagnosis of often-hidden problems, so we strongly recommend professional service. What appears to be a simple seal replacement might actually be a flashing issue or structural problem that needs expert attention.
DIY repairs often create bigger problems by addressing symptoms rather than causes. Applying sealant over a failing flashing system, for example, might stop the immediate leak but allows water to accumulate in areas where it causes hidden damage.
Professional skylight repair also requires specific materials and techniques for Long Island’s climate conditions. The wrong sealant or flashing material might seem to work initially but fail quickly under our weather extremes. We use materials and methods proven to last in Suffolk County’s challenging environment.
Most skylight repairs can be completed in a single day, though complex issues or extensive damage might require additional time. The inspection and diagnosis usually take an hour or two, followed by the actual repair work.
Weather plays a role in scheduling since we need dry conditions for proper sealing and flashing work. We monitor forecasts carefully and will reschedule if necessary to ensure quality results rather than rushing work in poor conditions.
Emergency repairs to stop active leaks can often be done quickly to protect your interior, followed by permanent repairs when conditions allow. We prioritize getting your home protected from further damage while ensuring the final repair is done properly.
Skylight repair addresses specific problems like leaks, damaged seals, or broken components while keeping your existing skylight unit. Replacement involves removing the entire skylight and installing a new one, which is necessary when the frame is severely damaged or the unit is beyond economical repair.
Many skylights that homeowners think need replacement can actually be repaired effectively. Cracked glass can be replaced, failed seals can be renewed, and damaged flashing can be rebuilt. The decision usually comes down to cost-effectiveness and the skylight’s overall condition.
We evaluate each situation individually and provide honest recommendations based on your skylight’s condition, your budget, and your long-term needs. Sometimes repair makes perfect sense; other times replacement is the smarter investment. We’ll explain the pros and cons of each option so you can make an informed decision.
