Recent skylight work
The Bronx has no dedicated skylight specialist, skylight work here is handled by roofers as a sideline, which shows in the callbacks. We treat the borough as first-class territory: row houses in Mott Haven and Melrose with aging steel-framed skylights due for full replacement, private homes in Riverdale and Throgs Neck adding deck-mounted units and roof windows, and commercial buildings needing code-compliant custom units.
Leaking skylight in the Bronx? Start with a professional assessment from New York's original skylight specialists. Skylights are all we have done since 2005: licensed and insured (LIC# 2084179), VELUX Trained & Approved, an official VELUX dealer, 4.8 stars on Google, and a 10-Year No Leak Warranty on every unit we install. Roofers and handymen do skylights on the side; we are the specialists the roofers call. Leaks are the number one reason the Bronx calls us. Water dripping from the skylight, a stain on the ceiling, a drip that only shows up when it rains: none of that tells you what actually failed. On the row houses of Mott Haven and Melrose it is usually an aging steel-framed unit with a rotted curb; in Riverdale and Throgs Neck it is usually a deck-mounted unit that has reached the end of its life. We come out, find the real cause, and give you a straight answer and a price for the right fix, which is usually a new unit installed properly, priced on the spot through the Skylight Finder. Active leaks go to the front of the schedule.
Every Bronx quote works like every quote we write: unit priced from the current VELUX book with tax included, flashing always in the number, 10-year No Leak Warranty on our installations, and honest advice when your existing curb is sound and only the unit needs replacing. Start with the Skylight Finder or call for a free estimate.
Call the skylight company first. A roofer sees a roof problem and caulks around the unit; it holds for a season and comes back, and in the Bronx that is how most skylight leaks have been handled for years. A skylight specialist can tell you in one visit whether it is the flashing, the curb or the unit itself, and what the honest fix costs. If the roof around it turns out to be the problem, we will tell you that too.
If it drips on cold clear mornings and stops when it warms up, it is usually condensation on an old single-pane or acrylic unit, and the cure is a modern insulated glass skylight, not sealant. If it comes in during or right after rain, it is a leak, and the assessment tells you where.
Usually not for long. Steel-framed units and acrylic domes fail at the frame and the curb, not at one spot. We will tell you if yours is the rare exception, but the right answer on most of them is a new unit on a proper curb or flashing kit, and we price that on the spot.
Active leaks go to the front of the schedule, and our phone is answered evenings and weekends, not just office hours. Call (718) 646-7053 any time, tell us it is leaking now, and it is flagged to us the same day so we can get someone out in the Bronx to look at it.
That is the point of this page. Skylight work in the Bronx is mostly handled by roofers as a sideline, and the callbacks show it. We are a skylight company. It is all we do, and the borough gets the same crews and the same warranty as anywhere else we work.
Almost never worth it. Old steel framed units on Mott Haven and Melrose row houses have usually lost the seal, the glazing and the frame together. We replace the full unit, matched to the existing curb where the curb is sound, and we will tell you honestly if it is.
Yes, and doing them together is the cheapest way to do them. Access is paid once, multiple unit discounts apply, and you get one schedule instead of returning every time another unit fails. Certificates of insurance naming the owner are standard.
Yes. Supply only is a real part of the business. We spec the unit from your field dimensions, confirm the rough opening and curb, include the correct flashing for the roof type, and deliver. Published prices are the starting point rather than a phone call.
A 10 year No Leak Warranty on installations by our crews and a 5 year labor warranty, on top of the manufacturer's warranty on the unit. We are licensed and insured, LIC# 2084179.
