You wake up to natural sunlight streaming through your ceiling instead of reaching for the light switch. Your electric bill drops because you’re using less artificial lighting during the day. The dark hallway that always felt cramped now feels open and welcoming.
That’s what happens when skylights are installed correctly. You get the energy savings you want, the natural light your home needs, and the peace of mind that comes from working with contractors who know how to prevent leaks from day one.
Your home becomes brighter, more comfortable, and more valuable. The rooms that used to feel closed off now connect with the outdoors, even when the windows can’t.
We’ve been serving Suffolk County homeowners for decades, bringing the kind of craftsmanship that only comes from family-owned businesses who care about their reputation. We’ve installed skylights across Aquebogue and the surrounding areas, and we understand what works in our local climate.
Every skylight we install gets personal oversight from our team. We combine traditional installation techniques with modern materials to ensure your skylight enhances your home without creating problems down the road.
When you work with us, you’re working with contractors who live and work in your community. We’re not going anywhere, and our reputation depends on getting your project right the first time.
First, we assess your roof and discuss where the skylight will work best for your space and lighting goals. We measure everything precisely and explain exactly what the installation will involve, including any structural considerations.
Next, we carefully cut the opening in your roof, ensuring proper framing and support. The skylight gets installed with professional-grade flashing that’s designed to direct water away from the opening – this is where most contractors cut corners, but it’s the most critical part of preventing leaks.
Finally, we complete the interior work, including any drywall finishing around the light well, and conduct a thorough inspection to ensure everything is sealed and functioning properly. You get a skylight that works as intended without the worry of future problems.

Your skylight installation includes everything needed for a complete, leak-free installation. We handle the roof opening, proper flashing installation, structural framing, and interior finishing. All materials are sourced from trusted manufacturers who stand behind their products.
For Aquebogue homeowners, we pay special attention to our local weather patterns. Suffolk County gets its share of storms and seasonal weather changes, so we use flashing techniques and sealants that can handle temperature fluctuations and heavy rain without failing.
We also coordinate with any existing roofing work if you’re planning other exterior improvements. Many homeowners find it cost-effective to install skylights during roof replacement, and we can integrate both projects seamlessly to save you time and money.
Skylight installation in our area typically ranges from $2,500 to $6,000, depending on the size and type of skylight you choose. Fixed skylights are less expensive than vented or electric models, and the complexity of your roof affects labor costs.
The total includes the skylight unit, professional installation, proper flashing, and any interior finishing work. We provide detailed estimates that break down all costs upfront, so you know exactly what you’re paying for. Most homeowners find that the energy savings and increased home value make it a worthwhile investment.
Fixed skylights are designed purely for natural light – they don’t open, which makes them less expensive and simpler to install. They’re perfect for areas like living rooms or hallways where you want brightness but don’t need ventilation.
Vented skylights can be opened to allow fresh air circulation, making them ideal for kitchens, bathrooms, or any space where you want both light and airflow. They come with manual or electric controls, and some electric models even have rain sensors that automatically close the skylight when moisture is detected. The choice depends on your specific needs and budget.
Proper flashing is everything when it comes to preventing leaks. We install step flashing and continuous flashing around the entire skylight perimeter, creating multiple barriers against water infiltration. The flashing integrates with your existing roofing materials and directs water away from the opening.
We also use high-quality sealants designed for the temperature changes we experience in Suffolk County. Many leak problems happen because contractors use generic sealants that crack or fail when the roof expands and contracts. We select products specifically rated for our climate conditions and install them according to manufacturer specifications, not shortcuts.
Yes, we regularly install skylights in existing roofs. The process involves carefully cutting an opening, adding proper framing for support, and integrating the flashing with your current roofing system. It’s more complex than installing during new roof construction, but it’s absolutely doable with the right expertise.
We assess your roof structure first to ensure it can support the skylight and determine if any additional framing is needed. The key is working with contractors who understand how to maintain your roof’s integrity while adding the new opening. Done properly, a skylight installation won’t compromise your roof’s performance or warranty.
Well-installed skylights require minimal maintenance. You should clean the glass periodically to maintain optimal light transmission, and check the surrounding flashing annually for any signs of wear or damage. Most homeowners can handle the cleaning themselves, though professional cleaning is available.
The flashing and seals should be inspected as part of regular roof maintenance. We recommend having your skylight checked whenever you have other roofing work done. Quality skylights with proper installation typically last 20-30 years with minimal intervention, making them a low-maintenance way to improve your home’s lighting and energy efficiency.
Yes, skylights can significantly reduce your lighting costs by providing natural illumination during daylight hours. The amount you save depends on how much artificial lighting you currently use in the areas where the skylights are installed. Many homeowners see noticeable reductions in their electric bills, especially during longer daylight periods.
Beyond direct lighting savings, skylights can provide passive solar heating in winter, reducing heating costs. Vented skylights also help with natural cooling in summer by allowing hot air to escape. The energy efficiency benefits, combined with increased home value, typically make skylight installation a smart financial decision for most Suffolk County homeowners.
