Hear from Our Customers
You’re tired of buckets on the floor every time it rains. You’re done with water stains spreading across your ceiling and the constant worry about what that moisture is doing to your home’s structure.
Here’s what changes when we fix your skylight properly. No more emergency calls during storms. No more anxiety when you hear rain starting. Your home stays dry, your energy bills drop because heated and cooled air isn’t escaping, and you can actually enjoy the natural light your skylight was meant to provide.
The difference is in how we approach the problem. Most skylight leaks aren’t coming from the skylight itself – they’re coming from damaged flashing, failed seals, or installation issues around the unit. We find the real source and fix it permanently.
We’ve been solving skylight problems for Suffolk County homeowners for decades. We’re a family-owned business that understands what matters to Speonk residents – quality work, honest pricing, and repairs that actually last.
We know the challenges your skylights face here. The harsh winters, heavy spring rains, and summer storms that test every seal and flashing joint. We’ve seen what Long Island weather does to skylights over time, and we know exactly how to fix it.
When you call us, you’re working with licensed, insured professionals who live and work in this community. We’re not here to oversell you or disappear after the job. We’re here to solve your skylight problem once and for all.
First, we do a complete inspection. Not just the skylight glass, but the flashing, seals, surrounding roof materials, and everything that could be causing water to get in. Most contractors skip this step and end up treating symptoms instead of causes.
Next, we explain exactly what we found and exactly how we’ll fix it. You’ll know what’s wrong, why it’s wrong, and what we need to do before any work starts. No surprises, no upselling, no confusion.
Then we handle the repair completely. If your flashing needs replacement, we replace it with premium materials designed for Long Island’s weather extremes. If seals have failed, we install new ones that will actually hold up. If there’s roof damage around the skylight, we fix that too. When we’re done, we test everything to make sure it works properly and clean up completely.

Your skylight repair includes everything needed for a permanent fix. We handle flashing replacement, seal repairs, weatherstripping updates, and any necessary roof work around the skylight. All materials are premium grade and designed for Long Island’s weather extremes.
Here in Speonk, your skylights deal with unique challenges. Salt air from nearby water can accelerate corrosion of metal components. Temperature swings from winter lows to summer highs cause expansion and contraction that stress seals. Heavy snow loads test structural connections. We account for all of these local factors in every repair.
We also understand that most Speonk homes were built in the 1960s, which means many skylights are reaching the end of their designed lifespan. Sometimes a repair makes sense, sometimes replacement is the better investment. We’ll give you an honest assessment of what your skylight needs and how much longer it can realistically last with proper maintenance.
The decision depends on the skylight’s age, the extent of damage, and cost-effectiveness. If your skylight is less than 15 years old and the issue is isolated to flashing, seals, or minor glass damage, repair usually makes sense.
However, if you’re dealing with multiple problems – like damaged flashing, failed seals, and structural issues – or if the skylight is over 20 years old, replacement often provides better long-term value. We’ll inspect everything thoroughly and give you an honest assessment of both options, including expected lifespan and costs, so you can make the right decision for your situation.
Most skylight leaks in our area result from damaged or improperly installed flashing – the metal barrier that seals the skylight to your roof. Long Island’s weather extremes cause this flashing to expand, contract, and eventually crack or pull away from the roof.
Salt air from nearby water accelerates corrosion of metal components. Heavy snow loads can shift the skylight slightly, breaking seals. Summer heat makes rubber seals brittle over time. Poor original installation is also common – many skylights weren’t properly integrated with the roof’s water management system when first installed.
The key is identifying whether water is coming through the glass itself, around the frame, or from roof issues near the skylight. Each requires a different repair approach.
Most skylight repairs take 4-8 hours, depending on what needs to be fixed. Simple seal replacement might be done in half a day, while complete flashing replacement can take a full day, especially if we need to remove and reinstall roofing materials around the skylight.
Weather plays a role in timing – we can’t work on your roof safely during storms or when surfaces are icy. We’ll schedule your repair for optimal conditions and keep you informed if weather delays are necessary.
Emergency temporary repairs to stop active leaking can often be done within hours of your call. These aren’t permanent solutions, but they’ll protect your home until we can complete the proper repair work.
Yes, we warranty all our skylight repair work. The specific warranty terms depend on what type of repair we’re doing – seal replacement, flashing work, or glass repair each have different coverage periods based on the materials and methods used.
We use premium materials designed for Long Island’s climate, and we stand behind our workmanship. If a repair fails due to our work or materials within the warranty period, we’ll fix it at no charge.
Keep in mind that warranties cover the repair work itself, not damage from new storms, settling, or normal wear over many years. We’ll explain exactly what’s covered when we provide your repair estimate.
Skylight repair costs vary based on what needs to be fixed. Simple seal repairs might cost a few hundred dollars, while complete flashing replacement can run $800-1,500 depending on the skylight size and roof complexity.
Multiple issues – like damaged flashing plus failed seals plus minor roof repairs – will cost more than a single problem. Emergency repairs during storms may include premium charges for immediate response.
We provide detailed written estimates that break down exactly what work is needed and what each component costs. No surprises, no hidden fees. If we discover additional issues during the repair, we’ll discuss options and costs before proceeding with any extra work.
Yes, we provide emergency response when skylights are actively leaking and causing damage to your home. We understand that skylight leaks don’t wait for convenient times – they happen during the worst weather when you need help most.
Emergency service focuses on stopping the immediate water intrusion with temporary but effective measures. This might involve tarping, temporary sealants, or other methods to protect your home until permanent repairs can be completed safely.
We can’t do permanent repairs during active storms – it’s not safe for our crew and the work won’t hold up if done in poor conditions. But we can stop the immediate damage and schedule proper repairs as soon as weather permits.
