When your skylight stops leaking, you stop worrying. No more water stains on your ceiling. No more scrambling for buckets when it rains. No more wondering if that damp spot will turn into mold.
You get back to enjoying the natural light your skylight was meant to provide. Your home stays dry and protected, and you can actually use the room underneath without constantly checking the weather forecast.
That’s what happens when the repair is done properly—by contractors who understand that a skylight isn’t just a window, it’s part of your roof system that needs to work perfectly with everything around it.
We’ve been fixing skylights for West Sayville homeowners who got tired of temporary patches and wanted permanent solutions. We’re a family-run business that specializes in exterior home improvements throughout Suffolk County.
What sets us apart is simple: we actually diagnose the problem before we start fixing it. Too many contractors just slap some caulk around the edges and call it done. We inspect the flashing, check the seals, and look for the real source of the leak.
West Sayville homes deal with everything from nor’easters to summer storms, and your skylight needs to handle it all. We use quality materials and proven techniques that work in Long Island’s climate, not quick fixes that fail when the next storm hits.
First, we inspect your skylight thoroughly—not just the glass, but the flashing, seals, and surrounding roof area. Most leaks aren’t actually coming from where you think they are, so we trace the water path to find the real problem.
Next, we explain exactly what’s wrong and what it’ll take to fix it permanently. Sometimes it’s a simple reseal. Sometimes the flashing needs replacement. Occasionally, the whole skylight needs to go. We’ll tell you which one applies to your situation.
Then we fix it using materials designed to last in Suffolk County weather. We don’t just patch the symptom—we eliminate the cause. When we’re done, your skylight works like it’s supposed to, and you get a guarantee that the leak won’t come back.

We handle every type of skylight problem West Sayville homeowners face. Leaking seals, damaged flashing, cracked glass, foggy double-pane units, and ventilation skylights that won’t open or close properly.
For West Sayville’s coastal climate, we pay special attention to salt air corrosion and wind-driven rain issues that inland contractors might miss. The proximity to Great South Bay means your skylight faces different challenges than homes further inland.
Our repair services include flashing replacement, glass replacement, seal restoration, and complete skylight replacement when repair isn’t cost-effective. We work with quality brands like Velux and can match your existing skylight’s style and size. Most repairs cost significantly less than full replacement—typically between $450-$1,000 compared to several thousand for a new skylight installation.
Most skylight repairs in West Sayville run between $450-$1,000, depending on what’s actually wrong. Simple resealing jobs are on the lower end, while flashing replacement or glass repair costs more.
The key is getting an accurate diagnosis first. Many homeowners spend money on temporary fixes that don’t address the real problem. We inspect thoroughly to determine whether you need a $500 repair or if the skylight is damaged enough to warrant replacement.
If replacement makes more sense, we’ll explain why and give you options that fit your budget. But often, a proper repair costs much less than replacement and solves the problem permanently.
This usually means condensation, not an actual leak from outside water. When warm, humid air inside your home hits the cold skylight glass, it creates water droplets that drip down just like rain would.
Poor insulation around the skylight frame makes this worse. If the skylight isn’t properly insulated, warm air flows up freely and condenses on the glass. Sometimes the insulation is touching the glass directly, which guarantees condensation problems.
The fix involves improving insulation and ventilation around the skylight. It’s not expensive, but it requires understanding the difference between a water leak and a condensation problem—something many contractors miss.
A properly done skylight repair should last 10-15 years or more. The key word is “properly”—which means using quality materials and addressing the actual cause, not just the symptoms.
Cheap fixes like caulking over old sealant might last a season or two. Quality flashing replacement with proper installation techniques lasts as long as the skylight itself. We use materials designed for Long Island’s weather conditions, including salt air and temperature swings.
The repairs that fail quickly are usually the ones that didn’t address the underlying problem. Water finds the path of least resistance, so if you don’t fix the real issue, it’ll just find another way in.
Yes, we can handle emergency skylight repairs year-round, including winter. Leaking skylights can’t wait for spring—water damage gets worse every day you delay.
For emergency repairs, we use cold-weather materials and techniques that work in freezing temperatures. The goal is stopping the leak immediately, then scheduling permanent repairs when weather permits if needed.
Some repairs are actually easier in winter because we can see exactly where the leak is coming from. Snow melt and ice dams reveal problems that aren’t obvious during dry weather. We’ve repaired skylights in all kinds of weather because West Sayville homeowners can’t wait months for a leak to be fixed.
Yes, we guarantee our skylight repairs. If the same problem comes back, we fix it at no charge. That’s how confident we are in our diagnosis and repair methods.
Our guarantee covers the specific issue we repaired—if we fixed a flashing leak and it starts leaking from the flashing again, that’s covered. Different problems that develop later aren’t covered, but we’ll diagnose those honestly too.
Most contractors won’t guarantee skylight work because they’re not confident in their repairs. We can offer a guarantee because we take the time to find and fix the real problem, not just treat the symptoms.
It depends on the skylight’s age, condition, and what’s wrong with it. Generally, if the skylight is less than 15 years old and the problem is fixable, repair makes sense. If it’s older or has multiple issues, replacement might be more cost-effective.
Cracked glass, failed seals in double-pane units, or severely corroded flashing usually mean replacement is the better choice. Simple seal failures, minor flashing issues, or condensation problems are often repairable at a fraction of replacement cost.
We’ll give you an honest assessment of both options with real numbers. Sometimes spending $800 on repairs for a skylight that needs replacing anyway doesn’t make sense. Other times, a $500 repair gives you years more life from a skylight that would cost $3,000 to replace.
