No more buckets catching drips. No more ceiling stains spreading across your living room. No more lying awake during storms wondering if your skylight will hold up.
When we fix your skylight leak, you get a permanent solution that protects your home and your investment. Your ceilings stay dry, your walls stay intact, and you can actually enjoy the natural light your skylight was meant to provide.
Most importantly, you get the confidence that comes from knowing the job was done right the first time by Suffolk County specialists who understand exactly how Long Island weather tests every seal, flashing, and joint.
We’ve been fixing skylights for Wheatley Heights homeowners for decades. We’re not a national chain or fly-by-night contractor.
We’re a family-owned Suffolk County business that understands the unique challenges your home faces. From nor’easters that test every seal to summer heat that expands and contracts materials, we know exactly what causes skylight problems in this area.
When you call us, you’re getting local expertise backed by professional licensing, full insurance, and the kind of personal service that only comes from a business that’s built its reputation one satisfied neighbor at a time.
We start with a comprehensive inspection because 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.
Our technicians examine the flashing, seals, surrounding roofing materials, and the skylight’s overall condition. You’ll know exactly what’s wrong and exactly how we’ll fix it before any work begins.
Your 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.
We clean up completely when we’re done and test everything to make sure it’s working properly. No mess left behind, no surprises, just a skylight that works the way it should.

Whether you’re dealing with a minor drip or water pouring through your ceiling, we handle every type of skylight issue Wheatley Heights homeowners face.
Flashing repairs for those tricky spots where water finds its way around the skylight frame. Seal replacement when weatherstripping has failed from years of temperature changes. Glass replacement for cracked or broken skylights that can’t be repaired.
We also fix the problems that other contractors miss. Condensation issues that create mold problems. Improper installation from previous work that’s causing ongoing leaks. Even structural issues around the skylight opening that need attention before the leak can be permanently stopped.
In Wheatley Heights, where homes built in the 1960s and 70s often have skylights that haven’t been properly maintained, we see it all. That experience means we can diagnose problems quickly and fix them permanently.
Most skylight leaks aren’t actually coming from the skylight itself. Water often enters through damaged flashing, deteriorated seals around the skylight frame, or roof problems near the skylight opening.
The only way to know for sure is with a proper inspection. We examine the flashing, check all seals and weatherstripping, inspect the surrounding roof materials, and look at the skylight’s overall condition.
Water can travel along roof decking or rafters before dripping into your room, making it seem like the skylight is leaking when the actual problem might be several feet away. That’s why we don’t just patch the obvious spot – we find and fix the real source of the leak.
It depends on the age of your skylight, the extent of the damage, and the cost difference between repair and replacement. Many skylight problems can be fixed affordably with new flashing, seals, or weatherstripping.
If your skylight is over 20 years old, has multiple issues, or the glass is severely damaged, replacement might make more sense. We’ll give you honest recommendations based on what we find during our inspection.
For Wheatley Heights homes built in the 60s and 70s with original skylights, we often recommend replacement because the energy efficiency and leak-prevention technology has improved dramatically. But we’ll never pressure you into a more expensive option if a repair will solve your problem effectively.
Most skylight repairs can be completed in a single day, depending on the scope of work needed. Simple seal replacement or minor flashing repairs might take just a few hours.
More complex repairs involving extensive flashing work, roof deck repairs, or multiple components might take a full day or require a second visit if we need to order specific materials.
We’ll give you a clear timeline during our initial inspection so you know exactly what to expect. Emergency repairs to stop active leaks can often be done the same day you call, especially during business hours.
The most common causes are damaged or improperly installed flashing, deteriorated seals and weatherstripping, and settlement or movement in your home’s structure over time.
Long Island’s weather is particularly hard on skylights. Freeze-thaw cycles cause materials to expand and contract, eventually creating gaps. Heavy rains and snow loads test every seal. High winds can lift or damage flashing.
Poor initial installation is another major factor. If the flashing wasn’t installed correctly or the wrong materials were used, problems will develop within a few years. We see this frequently in Wheatley Heights homes where previous contractors cut corners or didn’t understand proper skylight installation techniques.
Yes, we provide same-day emergency service for active skylight leaks that are causing immediate damage to your home. Water coming through your ceiling can’t wait for a convenient appointment time.
We understand that skylight leaks often get worse during storms when you need help most. That’s why we make ourselves available for emergency calls and can often provide temporary leak stopping measures until permanent repairs can be completed.
For non-emergency repairs, we typically schedule within a few days of your call. But if water is actively entering your home, we’ll prioritize your repair and get someone out as quickly as possible.
Repair costs vary significantly depending on what needs to be fixed. Simple seal replacement might cost a few hundred dollars, while extensive flashing repairs or structural work can cost several thousand.
We provide detailed written estimates that break down exactly what work is needed and what each component costs. No surprises, no hidden fees, and no pressure to decide on the spot.
Most Wheatley Heights homeowners find that professional skylight repair costs much less than the water damage that occurs when leaks are ignored. Plus, a proper repair protects your home’s value and prevents much more expensive problems down the road.
