When your skylights stop leaking, you stop worrying. No more buckets catching drips or stained ceilings reminding you of the problem. No more wondering if today’s rain will cause new damage.
You get back to enjoying the natural light that drew you to skylights in the first place. Your energy bills stay manageable because properly sealed skylights aren’t letting conditioned air escape. And you avoid the expense of water damage repairs that can cost thousands more than fixing the skylight right the first time.
Most importantly, you get peace of mind knowing the job was done by Suffolk County contractors who understand how Long Island weather affects your home.
SkyLuxe Construction has been fixing skylights across Suffolk County for years, and we’ve seen every type of leak, crack, and flashing failure that affects homes in our area. We’re not just another roofing company that dabbles in skylights—we’re specialists who understand exactly what causes skylight problems in Shoreham’s climate.
Our team knows how freeze-thaw cycles affect skylight seals, how coastal humidity impacts flashing, and why some repairs fail while others last decades. When you call us, you’re getting contractors who’ve solved these exact problems for your neighbors.
We’re licensed, insured, and locally owned, which means we’re invested in our reputation right here in Suffolk County. Your skylight repair isn’t just another job—it’s our name on the line in the community where we live and work.
First, we inspect your skylight thoroughly—not just the obvious problem area, but the flashing, seals, glass, and surrounding roof structure. Most leaks have multiple contributing factors, and we find them all before we start any work.
Next, we explain exactly what’s wrong and what it’ll take to fix it permanently. No surprises, no upselling—just straight talk about your options and what each approach will cost. We’ve found that most skylight problems in Shoreham fall into predictable categories, and we can usually give you a clear timeline right away.
Then we fix it using the right materials for Long Island weather. That might mean replacing deteriorated flashing, resealing glass panels, or addressing structural issues that caused the problem. We don’t just patch the symptoms—we solve the underlying cause so you don’t call us back in six months.

We handle the full range of skylight issues that affect Shoreham homes. Leaking flashing around the skylight perimeter, cracked or fogged glass panels, failed seals that let in drafts and moisture, and vented skylight mechanisms that won’t open or close properly.
We also repair the less obvious problems that cause bigger headaches later—like inadequate insulation around the skylight that creates condensation, or structural settling that throws the whole assembly out of alignment. Suffolk County homes deal with specific challenges from coastal weather, and we’ve developed solutions that work reliably in our climate.
Our repair work includes emergency leak fixes when storms cause immediate problems, planned maintenance to prevent issues before they start, and complete skylight replacement when repair isn’t cost-effective. We use quality materials designed for Long Island conditions, not generic products that might work fine in Arizona but fail here after one winter.
Most skylight repairs in Shoreham range from $450 to $1,000, depending on what’s actually wrong. Simple resealing or flashing repairs are on the lower end, while glass replacement or structural work costs more.
The key is getting an accurate diagnosis upfront. We’ve seen too many homeowners pay for temporary fixes that don’t address the root cause, then end up paying again when the problem returns. Our approach is to identify everything that needs attention and give you options—sometimes a $600 repair now prevents a $3,000 replacement later.
We provide detailed estimates that break down exactly what work is needed and why. No hidden fees, no surprise charges, and no pressure to choose the most expensive option if a simpler fix will solve your problem permanently.
The most common culprit is flashing failure—the metal strips that seal your skylight to the roof deteriorate faster than other roofing materials, especially in our coastal climate. Salt air, freeze-thaw cycles, and UV exposure all accelerate this process.
We also see a lot of problems from improper installation. Skylights that weren’t installed with adequate slope for water drainage, insufficient flashing coverage, or poor integration with the existing roof structure. These issues might not show up for years, but they eventually cause leaks.
Glass seal failure is another frequent problem, particularly in older skylights. The seals around glass panels break down over time, letting in water and creating that fogged appearance that blocks your view. Sometimes the glass itself develops stress cracks from thermal expansion or impact damage.
If your skylight is less than 15 years old and the structural components are sound, repair usually makes financial sense. Most leak problems come from replaceable parts like flashing, seals, or glass panels that can be fixed for a fraction of replacement cost.
Replacement makes more sense when the skylight frame is damaged, when you’re dealing with repeated failures, or when the unit is so old that parts aren’t available. We also recommend replacement if you’re planning other roof work—it’s more cost-effective to coordinate everything at once.
We’ll give you an honest assessment of both options. Sometimes a homeowner thinks they need a full replacement when a $500 repair will solve the problem. Other times, trying to repair a skylight that’s beyond its useful life just throws good money after bad.
When done correctly with quality materials, skylight repairs should last 10-15 years or more. The key factors are using the right materials for Long Island weather and addressing all contributing problems, not just the obvious symptoms.
Flashing repairs using proper marine-grade materials typically outlast the surrounding roof. Glass seal replacement with modern compounds handles our temperature swings much better than older materials. And structural repairs that address the underlying cause of movement or settling prevent the same problem from recurring.
We warranty our repair work because we’re confident in our methods and materials. But longevity also depends on regular maintenance—keeping gutters clear, checking seals annually, and addressing small issues before they become big problems. We can set up a maintenance schedule that keeps your skylights functioning properly for decades.
Yes, we respond to emergency skylight leaks throughout Shoreham and Suffolk County. Storm damage, sudden seal failure, or glass breakage can’t wait for a convenient appointment—water damage gets worse every hour you wait.
Our emergency service includes temporary weatherproofing to stop immediate water intrusion, followed by permanent repairs once conditions allow proper work. We carry materials for common emergency fixes and can usually stop the leak the same day you call.
We’re available 24/7 for true emergencies, but we also help you understand when a leak is urgent versus something that can wait for normal business hours. Not every drip requires emergency service, and we won’t charge emergency rates unless the situation actually demands immediate response.
Regular inspection is your best protection—check skylight seals, flashing, and glass condition at least twice a year, especially after severe weather. Look for small cracks, loose flashing, or signs of water stains around the interior frame.
Keep gutters and roof areas around skylights clear of debris. Leaves, branches, and other material can dam water flow and force moisture into places it shouldn’t go. Also trim back tree branches that might impact the skylight during storms.
Address small problems immediately. A tiny crack in glass or a loose piece of flashing might seem minor, but they let in water that causes much bigger problems over time. Most of our emergency calls could have been prevented with timely attention to early warning signs that the homeowner noticed but didn’t act on.
