Hear from Our Customers
You wake up to water stains on your ceiling. Or maybe you hear that dreaded drip during the next storm. Either way, you know you’re looking at potential thousands in water damage if this doesn’t get fixed right.
Here’s what life looks like after we handle your skylight repair: no more buckets catching drips, no more worrying about the next storm, and no more watching water stains spread across your ceiling. Your home stays dry, your family stays comfortable, and you get back to living without that constant stress hanging over your head.
The difference between a quick patch job and actual skylight repair comes down to diagnosing the real problem. Most contractors assume it’s just the flashing, but three out of four skylight leaks we fix are actually due to the skylight itself failing, not just the flashing around it.
We’ve been solving exterior home problems for Suffolk County families for decades. We’re the company South Huntington homeowners call when they need skylight repair done right the first time.
What makes us different is simple: we actually understand how skylights fail. While other contractors are focused on slapping some tar around the edges, we’re trained to identify the real source of your leak and fix it properly. We’ve seen every type of skylight problem you can imagine, from the obvious cracks to the tricky condensation issues that fool other contractors.
Our team knows South Huntington’s weather patterns, understands how Long Island’s seasonal changes affect your skylights, and we’ve built our reputation by being the contractors who show up when we say we will and fix the problem for good.
First, we inspect your skylight properly. Not just a quick look from the ground, but an actual examination of the skylight, flashing, seals, and surrounding roof area. We need to understand exactly what’s causing your leak before we can fix it.
Next, we explain what we found and what needs to happen. You’ll know if it’s a simple seal replacement, damaged flashing, or if the skylight itself needs attention. We don’t believe in surprises when it comes to your repair costs.
Then we fix it right. Whether that means resealing, replacing damaged flashing, fixing cracked glass, or addressing the skylight mechanism, we use quality materials and proven techniques. Our work comes with guarantees because we stand behind what we do.

Your skylight repair service includes everything needed to stop the leak and prevent future problems. We handle cracked glass replacement, damaged flashing repair, worn seal replacement, and skylight resealing services. If your skylight mechanism isn’t working properly, we fix that too.
South Huntington homeowners deal with specific challenges other areas don’t face. Our proximity to the water means more humidity, which leads to condensation problems. The seasonal temperature swings we get here cause expansion and contraction that can crack seals faster than in other climates. Heavy storms off the Sound can damage flashing in ways that require specialized repair techniques.
We stock parts for all major skylight brands and can handle emergency repairs when storms hit. Same-day service is available because we understand that water damage doesn’t wait for convenient scheduling.
Most skylight repairs in Suffolk County range from $378 to $472, but the actual cost depends on what’s actually wrong with your skylight. A simple seal replacement might cost less, while replacing damaged flashing or cracked glass will cost more.
The key is getting an accurate diagnosis first. We’ve seen too many homeowners pay for flashing repairs that didn’t solve their leak because the real problem was with the skylight itself. We provide free inspections so you know exactly what needs to be fixed and what it will cost before any work begins.
Don’t let anyone give you a quote over the phone. Skylight problems require hands-on inspection to diagnose properly, and any contractor who tries to estimate costs without seeing your specific situation is probably not someone you want working on your roof.
Yes, we offer same-day skylight repair services for most problems, and we’re available 24/7 for emergency situations. If water is actively leaking into your home, that’s an emergency and we’ll prioritize getting out to stop the immediate damage.
Same-day repairs are possible for common issues like damaged seals, minor flashing problems, or simple resealing jobs. More complex repairs that require special parts or extensive flashing work might take a day or two, but we’ll always provide temporary protection to prevent further water damage while we get the permanent fix completed.
The sooner you call, the better. Water damage spreads quickly, and what starts as a small leak can turn into major ceiling and wall damage if it’s not addressed promptly.
Most skylight leaks are caused by one of four problems: damaged flashing around the skylight, worn seals that have deteriorated over time, cracks in the skylight glass itself, or condensation buildup that looks like a leak but is actually a humidity problem.
Here in South Huntington, we see a lot of seal failures because of our temperature swings and humidity levels. The constant expansion and contraction eventually causes seals to crack or pull away from the skylight frame. Flashing problems usually develop after severe storms or as the metal corrodes over time.
The tricky part is that three out of four skylight leaks we repair are actually caused by problems with the skylight unit itself, not the flashing around it. That’s why so many homeowners get frustrated when contractors keep trying to fix the flashing but the leak continues.
Absolutely. We guarantee all our skylight repair work, and we’re fully licensed and insured in Suffolk County. Our guarantees cover both the materials we use and the quality of our workmanship.
For most skylight repairs, we provide warranties that range from one year on labor up to manufacturer warranties on parts and materials. If we install a new skylight, you get the full manufacturer warranty plus our installation guarantee.
We’ve been serving South Huntington families for decades, and our reputation depends on standing behind our work. If something isn’t right, we come back and make it right at no additional cost to you.
It depends on the age and condition of your skylight, plus what’s causing the leak. If your skylight is less than 15 years old and the leak is due to damaged flashing or worn seals, repair usually makes sense. If it’s older or has multiple problems, replacement might be more cost-effective long-term.
Cracked or broken glass always requires replacement – there’s no way to properly repair damaged skylight glass. If your skylight has been leaking for a while and you’ve had multiple repair attempts, replacement is probably your best option to avoid ongoing problems.
We’ll always give you honest recommendations based on what makes the most sense for your situation and budget. Sometimes a $400 repair is the smart choice, and sometimes spending a bit more on replacement saves you money over the next few years.
Yes, skylight leaks can definitely lead to mold growth and other health issues if they’re not addressed quickly. When water gets into your walls or ceiling, it creates the perfect environment for mold and mildew to develop, especially in our humid Long Island climate.
Mold can start growing within 24-48 hours of water exposure, and once it takes hold, it can spread throughout your home’s ventilation system. This can cause respiratory problems, allergic reactions, and other health issues, particularly for children, elderly family members, or anyone with existing respiratory conditions.
The key is addressing skylight leaks immediately, before they have a chance to cause this kind of damage. Even small leaks that only show up during heavy storms can cause significant mold problems over time if they’re not properly repaired.
