Water dripping through your ceiling stops. Those ugly brown stains disappear. You sleep better knowing the next storm won’t flood your living room.
That’s what happens when skylight leaks get fixed right the first time. No more buckets catching drips. No more worrying about mold growing in your walls. No more emergency calls to contractors during the next heavy rain.
Your skylight goes back to doing what it’s supposed to do – bringing beautiful natural light into your home while keeping every drop of water outside where it belongs.
We’ve been serving Shirley and Suffolk County families for years. We’re not the biggest company, and we’re not trying to be.
We’re the company that shows up when we say we will. We explain what’s wrong before we start tearing anything apart. We use materials that actually last through Long Island’s brutal winters and summer storms.
Our family name is on every job. That means something around here. When your neighbors ask who fixed your skylight, you’ll be proud to give them our number.
First, we climb up and actually look at your skylight. Not just the obvious stuff – we check the flashing, seals, surrounding roof materials, and anything else that could be letting water in.
Then we tell you exactly what’s wrong and exactly what it’ll cost to fix it. No surprises, no “we found more problems” calls halfway through the job.
The repair includes everything needed for a permanent fix. New flashing if that’s the problem. Fresh seals and weatherstripping. Sometimes we need to work on the roof around the skylight too. We handle all of it. When we’re done, we test everything to make sure it works, clean up completely, and show you what we did.

Every skylight repair comes with a thorough diagnosis of the actual problem. We fix skylight leaks, cracked glass, damaged flashing, worn seals, and foggy skylights. We also repair vented skylight mechanisms that stopped working.
Suffolk County homes face unique challenges. The salt air near the water corrodes flashing faster. Our winter freeze-thaw cycles crack seals that weren’t installed right the first time. Summer storms dump inches of rain in minutes, testing every weak spot.
We use premium materials designed specifically for Long Island weather. Our flashing won’t corrode in two years. Our seals stay flexible through temperature swings from 10 below to 95 degrees. Everything comes with warranties that actually mean something.
Most skylight repairs in Shirley cost between $450 and $1,000, depending on what’s actually wrong. Simple resealing jobs run closer to $450. Complex flashing replacement with roof work can hit $1,000.
The price depends on whether we’re fixing seals, replacing flashing, repairing glass, or dealing with roof damage around the skylight. We always give you a detailed written estimate before starting any work. No surprises, no “we found more problems” calls after we start.
Emergency repairs during storms cost more because we’re working in dangerous conditions. But most skylight problems can wait for normal business hours if you put a tarp over the leak temporarily.
Three main things cause skylight leaks around here: bad flashing, worn seals, and cracked glass. Flashing is the metal that connects your skylight to the roof – when it corrodes or gets installed wrong, water pours in.
Seals around the skylight glass get brittle from our temperature swings. They crack and let water seep through. Glass cracks from hail, falling branches, or just age and thermal stress.
Suffolk County’s salt air makes everything worse. It corrodes metal flashing faster than inland areas. Our freeze-thaw cycles are brutal on seals. And we get hit with some serious storms that test every weak point in your skylight system.
Don’t try to fix skylight leaks yourself. You’re working on a roof, often in wet conditions, with materials that need to be installed exactly right or they’ll fail again in six months.
Professional skylight repair isn’t just about stopping the current leak. We diagnose why it’s leaking, fix the root cause, and prevent future problems. We have the right materials, tools, and experience to do it once and do it right.
DIY skylight repairs usually make the problem worse. We’ve seen homeowners cause thousands in additional damage trying to save a few hundred on professional repair. Your insurance company won’t be happy if you fall through your roof either.
Professional skylight repairs should last 10-15 years minimum if done right with quality materials. We use flashing and seals designed for marine environments – they handle salt air, temperature swings, and heavy weather.
The key is using the right materials and installing them properly. Cheap caulk from the hardware store fails in two years. Professional-grade sealants and flashing last decades. We warranty our work because we’re confident in our materials and installation.
Regular maintenance helps too. Check your skylights after major storms. Clear debris from around the frame. Have them inspected every few years. Catch small problems before they become expensive disasters.
Yes, we provide emergency skylight repair when storms damage skylights and water is actively pouring into your home. We’ll get there as fast as safely possible and stop the immediate water intrusion.
Emergency repairs focus on preventing further damage until we can do permanent repairs. That might mean temporary tarping, emergency sealing, or quick flashing patches. Once the emergency is handled, we schedule proper repairs.
Emergency calls cost more because we’re working in dangerous conditions, often outside normal hours. But when water is pouring through your ceiling, you need help now, not next week. We understand that and we’re here for Suffolk County families when emergencies happen.
Repair fixes specific problems with your existing skylight – new seals, flashing work, glass replacement. Replacement means tearing out the whole skylight and installing a completely new unit.
We recommend repair when the skylight frame and basic structure are solid. If the frame is rotted, the skylight is the wrong size, or repairs would cost more than replacement, we’ll recommend a new skylight instead.
Most skylight problems can be repaired if caught early. Cracked seals, corroded flashing, even cracked glass can usually be fixed for much less than full replacement. But if you’ve ignored leaks for years and there’s structural damage, replacement might be your only option.
