You wake up to water stains spreading across your ceiling. Again. That skylight you thought was “just a small issue” is now threatening your drywall, your insulation, and your peace of mind.
Here’s what happens when we fix your skylight properly. No more buckets catching drips during rainstorms. No more watching your energy bills climb because heat escapes through damaged seals. No more worrying about mold growing in your walls.
Your skylight works like it should—keeping the weather out while letting natural light flood your space. Your home stays dry, comfortable, and energy-efficient, exactly how it’s supposed to be.
We’ve been solving skylight problems for Suffolk County homeowners for years. We’re not the fly-by-night contractors who disappear after cashing your check.
We’re the local family business that your neighbors call when their skylights leak at 2 AM during a storm. Every repair comes with our guarantee because we live and work right here in Suffolk County—our reputation depends on getting it right.
Shelter Island’s coastal weather can be brutal on skylights. Salt air, driving rain, temperature swings—we’ve seen how these conditions affect every type of skylight installation, and we know exactly how to fix them for good.
First, we climb up and find the real problem. Not the obvious water stain on your ceiling—the actual source of the leak. Could be damaged flashing around the frame, failed seals, cracked glass, or issues with the skylight’s mounting system.
Next, we explain exactly what’s wrong and give you options. Sometimes it’s a simple resealing job that costs a few hundred dollars. Sometimes the flashing needs replacement. We’ll tell you if a repair makes sense or if you’re better off with a replacement.
Then we fix it using the right materials and techniques for Suffolk County’s climate. No shortcuts, no temporary patches. When we’re done, your skylight is watertight and ready for whatever weather Shelter Island throws at it.

We repair every kind of skylight issue you’ll find in Suffolk County homes. Leaking seals around the glass, damaged flashing that lets water seep into your roof deck, cracked or foggy glass that needs replacement, and vented skylights with broken motors or mechanisms.
Here’s what makes Shelter Island skylights particularly challenging: the salt air corrodes flashing faster than inland properties, and the island’s exposure to nor’easters means your skylights take a beating from wind-driven rain. We stock marine-grade sealants and corrosion-resistant flashing specifically for coastal conditions.
Emergency repairs get priority scheduling because we know a leaking skylight during a storm can cause thousands in damage overnight. Most repairs are completed the same day, and we guarantee our work against leaks.
Most skylight repairs in Suffolk County run between $450 and $1,000, depending on what’s actually wrong. Simple resealing jobs are on the lower end, while flashing replacement or glass repair costs more.
The key is getting an honest diagnosis first. About 75% of skylight leaks we see are caused by failed seals or damaged skylight components, not just flashing issues. We’ll inspect everything—the glass, seals, flashing, and mounting system—before giving you a firm price.
Emergency repairs during storms might cost slightly more due to urgency, but we’re upfront about all pricing before we start work.
Most skylight leaks can be repaired if caught early. The biggest factor is the age and condition of the skylight itself, not just the flashing around it.
If your skylight is less than 15 years old and the glass is intact, we can usually fix it with new seals, flashing repair, or resealing. Older skylights with multiple seal failures or cracked glass often need replacement because repairs become a temporary band-aid.
We’ll give you both options with honest pricing. Sometimes spending $800 on repairs for a skylight that’s going to fail again in two years doesn’t make sense when replacement provides long-term peace of mind.
Most skylight repairs are completed in one day, weather permitting. Simple resealing jobs take 2-3 hours, while flashing replacement or glass repair can take 4-6 hours.
The timeline depends on accessing your roof safely and the extent of the damage. If we discover rotted roof decking or structural issues during the repair, that adds time and cost—but we’ll explain everything before proceeding.
Emergency leak repairs get priority scheduling. We can often provide temporary weatherproofing the same day you call, then return to complete permanent repairs when conditions are safe.
Three main culprits cause skylight leaks in Suffolk County: failed seals around the glass, damaged flashing where the skylight meets the roof, and problems with the skylight’s mounting system.
Shelter Island’s coastal environment accelerates these problems. Salt air corrodes metal flashing faster, temperature swings cause seals to crack, and storm winds can shift skylights enough to break seals. Poor installation also creates problems that show up years later.
Age is the biggest factor—most skylights start having seal issues after 10-15 years. Regular maintenance can extend their life, but once multiple seals fail, repair costs start approaching replacement costs.
Yes, we provide same-day emergency skylight repair throughout Suffolk County. A leaking skylight during a storm can cause thousands in water damage, so we prioritize these calls.
Emergency service includes temporary weatherproofing to stop immediate water intrusion, followed by permanent repairs once weather conditions are safe for roof work. We carry tarps, emergency sealants, and temporary patching materials on every service truck.
Most emergency calls involve applying temporary weatherproofing within a few hours, then scheduling permanent repairs within 24-48 hours. We guarantee our emergency patches will hold until we can complete proper repairs.
Look for these warning signs: water stains on walls or ceilings near the skylight, condensation between glass panes, visible cracks in the glass, or drafts around the skylight frame during cold weather.
Age is also a factor—skylights over 20 years old often need replacement even if repairs are technically possible. Multiple repair attempts on the same skylight usually indicate it’s time for replacement.
We’ll inspect your skylight and give you honest recommendations. If repairs will cost more than half the price of replacement, or if your skylight has multiple failing components, replacement usually makes more financial sense long-term.
