Skylight Repair and Replacement for Flat Roofs in Queens
Skylight repair and replacement by Flat Roofers NY fixes the skylight you have or puts in a new one. We stop edge leaks, reflash and reseal curbs, and replace cracked domes. We also set new curb-mounted units on rowhouse, two-family, co-op and storefront roofs.
The estimate's free and done on your roof.
Saved or replaced? Check in four steps
The card names the likely job. We confirm it on the roof.
- Edge leaks usually need only a reseal or reflash.
- Cracked or yellowed dome? Often swapped without touching the curb.
- Soft or rotted curb: new unit, rebuilt curb.

Your skylight leaks at the curb and the tie-in
The curb and its flashing
The curb is the framed box under your skylight. Its flashing wraps the sides and tucks under the frame. Split flashing or shrunken sealant lets water behind it.
The membrane tie-in
Then there's the membrane tie-in, where your EPDM, TPO or modified bitumen turns up the curb. When that seal fails, water runs under the membrane and onto your ceiling.
Membrane failing well past the curb? That's a roof leak, not a skylight one.
Acrylic, polycarbonate or glass in the new unit
New units go on a curb. The glazing is your call.

Roof-over
Don't need the light? We'll close the opening
Old, leaking units nobody uses are common on co-op and multi-family roofs. We pull the unit, frame and deck the opening, then patch in membrane to match.
Need roof access instead? We fit a roof hatch.
Whole roof due? Fold the skylight into the price of a full flat roof replacement. It's cheaper than two separate jobs.
Your skylight, inspected and quoted for free
Skylight repair and replacement quotes start with one visit. We check the unit, the curb, the flashing and the tie-in. We work across Queens from Elmhurst.
