You wake up to water stains on your ceiling again. That slow drip from your skylight isn’t just annoying—it’s expensive. Every day you wait, that water finds new places to go, soaking into your walls, your insulation, creating the perfect environment for mold.
Here’s what changes when we fix your skylight properly. The dripping stops completely. Your ceiling stays dry. You stop worrying every time it rains. Your home stays protected, and you get back to enjoying the natural light your skylight was meant to provide.
We don’t just patch problems. We find the real source—whether it’s damaged flashing, worn seals, or improper installation—and fix it right the first time.
We’ve been serving Suffolk County homeowners for years, and we understand something important about this area. Selden homes face unique challenges—the mix of older and newer construction, the humidity that comes with Long Island weather, and the reality that not every contractor knows how to handle skylights properly.
We’re not the guys who show up, take your money, and disappear when problems arise. We live and work right here in Suffolk County. When we repair your skylight, we guarantee our work because we’ll be around to stand behind it.
Your neighbors trust us because we do what we say we’ll do. We show up on time, diagnose the real problem, and fix it properly so you don’t have to deal with it again.
First, we inspect everything—not just the obvious damage, but the flashing, seals, and surrounding roof area. Most leaks aren’t where you think they are. Water travels, and we need to find where it’s really getting in.
Next, we explain exactly what’s wrong and what it’ll take to fix it. No surprises, no upselling. If your skylight can be repaired for less than replacement, we’ll tell you. If it needs to be replaced, we’ll explain why.
Then we fix it using quality materials that match your existing roof and home. We don’t cut corners on flashing or sealants because those corners always come back to haunt you. When we’re done, your skylight works like it should—letting in light, keeping out water.

We handle every type of skylight problem Selden homeowners face. Leaking skylights, cracked or foggy glass, damaged flashing, worn weather seals, condensation issues, and skylights that won’t open or close properly.
Suffolk County homes deal with specific challenges. The humidity here creates condensation problems, especially in bathrooms. Older homes often have skylights that weren’t installed with modern techniques. Newer homes sometimes have skylights installed by contractors who didn’t understand Long Island weather patterns.
We know these local issues because we’ve been fixing them for years. Whether you need emergency leak repair, complete skylight replacement, or just want someone to check your skylights before they become a problem, we have the experience and materials to handle it right.
Most skylight repairs in our area cost between $400-$800, depending on what’s actually wrong. Simple flashing repairs or resealing typically run $400-$500. If we need to replace glass or major components, costs can reach $800-$1,200.
Here’s the thing—many companies will quote you for a full replacement when a repair would work fine. We always look for the most cost-effective solution first. If your skylight can be fixed properly for less money, that’s what we’ll recommend.
The real cost is waiting too long. Water damage to your ceiling, walls, and insulation can easily cost thousands more than fixing the skylight properly from the start.
Most skylight leaks happen because of flashing problems, not the skylight itself. Flashing is the metal barrier that seals your skylight to your roof, and it takes a beating from Suffolk County weather—snow, ice, summer heat, and humidity.
Over time, flashing can corrode, crack, or pull away from the roof. Sometimes it was installed incorrectly in the first place. Water finds these gaps and travels along your roof deck until it drips into your home, often far from where the actual leak is.
We stop leaks by replacing damaged flashing with quality materials and sealing everything properly. We also check the skylight seals, glass condition, and surrounding roof area to make sure we catch everything that could cause future problems.
Foggy skylights usually mean the seal between glass panes has failed, letting moisture get trapped inside. This is common in older skylights or ones that weren’t designed for Long Island’s humidity levels.
Unfortunately, you can’t repair a failed seal—the glass unit needs to be replaced. But here’s the good news: we can often replace just the glass unit without replacing the entire skylight frame, which saves you money.
Condensation on the inside of your skylight is different. That’s usually a ventilation issue, and we can often solve it by improving airflow or adjusting how your skylight is sealed. We’ll inspect your specific situation and explain your options.
When done properly with quality materials, skylight repairs should last 10-15 years or more. The key is using flashing and sealants designed for our climate—materials that can handle freeze-thaw cycles, summer heat, and the humidity we get here.
Cheap repairs fail quickly. We’ve seen patch jobs that last less than a year because the contractor used the wrong materials or didn’t address the underlying problem. That’s why we only use proven materials and techniques.
We also guarantee our work. If something fails because of our workmanship, we’ll fix it at no charge. Most problems we see are from previous repairs that weren’t done right the first time.
Yes, we provide emergency skylight leak repair throughout Suffolk County. If your skylight is actively leaking and causing water damage, don’t wait—call us right away.
We can often provide temporary weatherproofing to stop immediate damage while we schedule a proper repair. This is especially important during storms or when temperatures are changing rapidly, which can make existing problems worse.
Emergency calls get priority scheduling, usually within 24 hours. We understand that skylight leaks don’t happen at convenient times, and water damage gets worse every hour you wait.
It depends on the skylight’s age, condition, and what’s actually causing the leak. If your skylight is less than 15 years old and the frame is in good shape, repair is usually the smart choice.
We replace skylights when the frame is damaged, the glass is cracked beyond repair, or when repairs would cost more than 60% of replacement cost. We also recommend replacement for very old skylights that don’t meet current energy efficiency standards.
Here’s what we always do: inspect everything thoroughly and give you honest options with real costs. If repair makes sense, we’ll recommend repair. If replacement is the better long-term investment, we’ll explain why. You make the decision with all the facts.
