Brand matters less than proper installation technique. Even the best skylight will fail if not installed correctly for our local climate challenges and building requirements.
When installed correctly with proper flashing and sealing techniques, modern skylights should not leak. Most skylight leaks result from improper installation, degraded sealing materials, or inadequate flashing around the roof penetration.

We’re familiar with Northport’s specific building requirements and have established relationships with local building officials. This experience helps streamline the permit process and avoid common delays.
We can replace skylights during winter months, but installations require additional weatherproofing steps and favorable weather windows. Winter installations take extra time due to temperature-sensitive sealing materials and safety considerations.
We prefer scheduling skylight replacements during spring through fall when conditions are optimal for proper sealing and curing. However, emergency replacements for severely leaking skylights can be performed year-round with appropriate precautions.
Winter installations include temporary weatherproofing during the process and may require multiple visits to complete sealing steps as temperatures allow. We never compromise installation quality for speed, regardless of season.
