A leaking skylight is a threat to the structural integrity of your Shelter Island property. Given the age and historic significance of many homes in The Heights, water intrusion is a particularly urgent issue. Even a small drip can lead to:

• Stained Wood and Plaster: Damaging the historic interiors that give your home its charm.

• Hidden Mold Growth: The humid coastal environment can make moisture trapped in roof cavities a breeding ground for mold.

• Structural Rot: Constant salt-air dampness can accelerate decay in older roof framing.

• Electrical Hazards: Water traveling along rafters can pose risks to wiring in light fixtures.

At Golden Hands Construction, we specialize in rapid, effective leak detection. We don’t just patch the problem; we solve it. By using premium, marine-grade flashing kits and high-performance, weather-resistant sealants, we ensure your home stays dry through every storm, from breezy spring mornings to harsh winter nor’easters.
