Emergency Skylight Leak Fix

We Fix What Others Miss

Here’s what most homeowners don’t know: three out of four skylight leaks aren’t caused by bad flashing or old caulk. They’re caused by failures in the skylight itself—cracked glass, failed seals, or manufacturing defects. That’s why slapping tar around the edges rarely works long-term. You need someone who understands the difference between a flashing problem and a skylight failure. We diagnose the real issue first, then fix it properly. Our approach saves you money because we don’t waste time on repairs that won’t last. We’ll tell you honestly whether your skylight needs repair or replacement—and why.

Skylight Repair FAQs

Common Questions About Our Service

How much does skylight repair cost in Long Island?

Skylight repair costs typically range from $450 to $1,000 depending on the issue. Simple seal repairs or minor flashing work costs less, while extensive flashing replacement or glass repair costs more. The key is proper diagnosis—many "repairs" fail because they don't address the actual problem. We provide honest estimates after inspecting your specific situation. Keep in mind that professional repair almost always costs less than dealing with water damage to your interior or needing full skylight replacement later.

Can you repair a cracked skylight or does it need replacement?

It depends on the type and extent of cracking. Small cracks in the glass can sometimes be sealed temporarily, but most cracked glass requires replacement for safety and effectiveness. Cracks in the frame or flashing can often be repaired if caught early. The real question is whether the skylight's overall condition makes repair worthwhile. We'll assess the age, condition, and extent of damage to recommend the most cost-effective solution. Sometimes spending money on repairs for an old, failing skylight isn't smart when replacement provides better long-term value.

Why does my skylight keep leaking after repairs?

Most recurring skylight leaks happen because the original repair didn't address the real problem. Many contractors assume it's a flashing issue and apply caulk or tar, but three out of four skylight leaks are actually caused by failures in the skylight itself—cracked glass, failed seals, or manufacturing defects. Another common issue is improper flashing installation or using the wrong materials for Long Island's weather conditions. We diagnose the actual cause first, which is why our repairs last. If your skylight keeps leaking, you need proper diagnosis, not another quick fix.

How long do skylight repairs last?

Professional skylight repairs should last many years when done correctly. The lifespan depends on the type of repair, materials used, and Long Island's weather exposure. Flashing repairs with proper materials typically last 10-15 years. Glass replacement can last as long as the skylight itself. However, repairs on very old skylights may only buy you a few years before replacement becomes necessary. We're honest about expected lifespan because we want you to make informed decisions. Quality repairs with proper materials and installation techniques always last longer than quick fixes.

Do you handle emergency skylight leaks?

Yes, we provide 24/7 emergency skylight repair services throughout Long Island. Skylight leaks can cause serious water damage quickly, especially during storms. Our emergency service includes temporary leak stopping measures and permanent repairs as soon as weather permits. We understand that water damage doesn't wait for business hours. When you contact us for emergency service, we'll guide you through immediate steps to minimize damage and get someone out as quickly as possible. Fast response prevents minor leaks from becoming major interior damage.

Should I repair or replace my leaking skylight?

This depends on your skylight's age, condition, and the extent of problems. Generally, skylights under 10 years old with isolated issues are good candidates for repair. Older skylights with multiple problems—leaks, drafts, fogging, and frame damage—often make more sense to replace. We consider repair costs versus replacement benefits, including energy efficiency improvements and warranty coverage. Sometimes spending $800 on repairs for a 20-year-old skylight isn't wise when replacement provides decades of trouble-free service. We'll give you honest recommendations based on your specific situation and budget.
