Your skylight leak stops here. No more buckets catching drips, no more ceiling stains spreading across your room, no more wondering when the next storm will cause expensive interior damage.
Most skylight leaks aren’t actually coming from the skylight itself. Damaged flashing, improper installation, or roof issues around the skylight are often the real culprits. We start every job with a comprehensive inspection to identify the root cause, not just patch symptoms that’ll fail again in six months.
You get back to enjoying natural light in your home instead of dreading rainy weather. Your ceiling stays dry, your peace of mind returns, and you never have to deal with this particular headache again.
We’ve been solving exterior problems for Suffolk County homeowners for decades. We’re not just another roofing company rushing through jobs – we’re your neighbors who understand exactly what Long Island weather does to skylights.
As a family-owned business, every project gets personal oversight. When you call us, you’re getting craftsmen who combine traditional techniques with modern materials, not a corporate crew with quotas to meet.
We’ve diagnosed and fixed every type of skylight problem Stony Brook homes face. From 1980s skylights with failing seals to newer installations with flashing issues, we know how to repair them permanently the first time.
We start with a thorough inspection because most skylight repairs fail when contractors guess at the problem. Our technicians examine the flashing, seals, surrounding roofing materials, and the skylight’s structural condition.
You’ll know exactly what’s wrong and exactly how we’ll fix it before any work begins. No surprises, no upselling, no patch jobs that fail when the next storm hits.
Your repair includes everything needed for a permanent fix – flashing replacement, seal restoration, weatherstripping updates, and any necessary roof work around the skylight. All materials are premium grade and designed specifically for Long Island’s weather extremes. We clean up completely and test everything to ensure it’s leak-free before we consider the job finished.

Our skylight repair service covers every component needed to restore perfect function. We handle cracked skylight glass repair, damaged flashing replacement, seal restoration, weatherstripping replacement, and skylight resealing services.
Stony Brook’s coastal location creates unique challenges for skylights. Salt air accelerates metal component corrosion, while temperature swings cause seals to expand and contract more than inland areas. Our repairs use materials specifically chosen for Long Island’s climate – not generic products that work fine in Arizona but fail here.
Emergency skylight leak repair is available when storms cause sudden damage. Water coming through your ceiling can’t wait for normal business hours, especially when it’s threatening your home’s interior and your family’s comfort.
Skylight repair costs in Stony Brook typically range from $300 to $1,500 depending on what’s actually wrong and what needs to be fixed. Simple seal repairs or minor flashing work usually cost $300-600, while extensive repairs involving glass replacement or major flashing reconstruction can reach $800-1,500.
The key is getting an accurate diagnosis first. Many contractors automatically quote skylight replacement when repair is possible, or they quote cheap repairs when the skylight is beyond saving. We provide honest assessments so you know your real options and their actual costs upfront.
Most leaking skylights can be permanently repaired for significantly less than replacement cost. The investment in proper repair typically pays for itself by preventing interior water damage that can cost thousands to remediate.
The most common cause of skylight leaks in Stony Brook is damaged or improperly installed flashing around the skylight frame. Flashing is the metal barrier that directs water away from the skylight opening, and it bears the brunt of weather exposure year after year.
Stony Brook’s coastal environment accelerates flashing deterioration through salt air corrosion and thermal cycling from temperature changes. Many skylights were also installed during construction without proper attention to flashing details, creating problems that surface 10-15 years later.
Other common causes include failed seals around the glass, damaged weatherstripping, ice dam formation during winter storms, and normal settling of your home’s frame that shifts the skylight position slightly. The key is identifying which specific component has failed so the repair addresses the actual problem, not just the visible symptoms.
Most skylights can be successfully repaired regardless of age, as long as the frame structure remains sound and the glass isn’t severely cracked. We regularly restore skylights from the 1980s and 1990s to like-new condition using modern materials and techniques.
The decision between repair and replacement depends on the skylight’s overall condition, not just its age. A 20-year-old skylight with solid bones might just need new seals and flashing, while a newer skylight with structural damage or poor original installation might require replacement.
We evaluate each skylight individually and give you honest recommendations based on what makes the most sense for your situation and budget. If repair is viable, we’ll show you exactly what needs to be done and guarantee the work. If replacement is the better long-term option, we’ll explain why and provide solutions that fit your needs.
Properly executed skylight repairs using quality materials typically last 15-20 years in Long Island’s challenging climate, often matching or exceeding the lifespan of the original installation. The difference is using materials designed for coastal conditions and following proper installation procedures.
Our repairs include premium flashing materials, marine-grade sealants, and weatherstripping specifically designed for temperature extremes and salt air exposure. We also address any underlying roof issues that contributed to the original problem, preventing repeat failures from the same cause.
The longevity of your repair depends entirely on material quality and workmanship. Quick fixes using generic hardware store materials might last 2-3 years before failing again, while professional repairs using proper materials and proven techniques provide decades of reliable service. We guarantee our work because we use only materials we’d trust on our own homes.
