You’re not just getting more light. You’re getting spaces that feel completely different – bathrooms that don’t need overhead lights during the day, kitchens where you can actually see what you’re cooking, and living rooms that feel twice as big.
Energy-efficient skylights can reduce your heating and cooling costs by up to 13% annually. That’s real money back in your pocket, month after month. On summer evenings, opening a skylight brings in cool breezes without running the air conditioner, making your indoor air feel fresher while cutting costs.
The difference between a properly installed skylight and a rushed job? Skylights have a tendency to leak – unless they’re installed properly. When done right, you get decades of natural light without the headaches.
SkyLuxe Construction is a family legacy brought to life in Suffolk County, NY, with decades of exterior renovation experience. We specialize in solutions tailored for everyday homeowners, and each project receives personal oversight, combining traditional craftsmanship with modern techniques.
We hold all necessary licenses and certifications required in Suffolk County, plus comprehensive insurance coverage that provides peace of mind. Our owner Al personally inspects work on job sites, maintaining professional standards from start to finish.
You’re not getting a fly-by-night contractor. You’re getting a local business that’s built its reputation one satisfied homeowner at a time in Suffolk County communities like Bayport.
Most installations take just 1-2 days when done by experienced contractors. Here’s what actually happens when you work with professionals who know what they’re doing.
We start with a thorough site inspection. Our technicians check your roof structure, measure the space, and confirm the best location for maximum light. No guesswork – we identify potential issues before they become expensive problems.
We handle everything from cutting the opening to framing and sealing the skylight, and our job isn’t done until we’ve ensured it’s leak-proof and interior finishes are cleaned and polished. We use a three-layer weatherproofing system for lasting protection, because proper flashing separates professional installation from future headaches.

We use only premium skylights from leading brands like Velux, known for their durability and performance. You get fixed skylights for maximum light, venting skylights for improved airflow, or solar-powered options that open and close using solar energy, with no electrical wiring required.
Long Island’s weather demands proper installation. Our energy-efficient solutions include Low-E coatings that minimize heat transfer and impact-resistant glazing designed to withstand everything from hailstorms to high winds.
We’re so confident in our workmanship that we offer a no-leak guarantee on installations. We deliver high-quality results using the best materials for lasting satisfaction, committed to completing projects efficiently and on time. Every installation comes with manufacturer warranties plus our commitment to make things right if issues arise.
Most homeowners spend between $1,200 and $4,500 for complete skylight installation, with the price range depending on skylight type, roof complexity, and finishing work. In Suffolk County, you’re typically looking at the middle to upper end of that range due to local labor rates and building requirements.
Custom skylights cost 40-60% more than standard sizes, so sticking with common dimensions like 22″x46″ or 30″x54″ keeps costs manageable. Fixed units cost less than venting options, and steep roofs and tile materials add complexity. We provide transparent estimates upfront so you know exactly what you’re investing in, with no surprise charges later.
Not if it’s installed properly. Skylights are the most likely windows to leak if installed improperly, but that’s exactly why professional installation matters so much. Skylights can leak due to improper installation, environmental degradation, debris causing cracks, or improper sealant.
DIY attempts might save labor costs, but one small mistake can cost thousands in water damage repairs, requiring serious carpentry skills and specialized tools. Hiring a licensed contractor protects you with proper code compliance, warranty coverage, and insurance protection. We guarantee leak-free installation because we use proper flashing techniques and weatherproofing systems that actually work.
Most installations take just 1-2 days when done by experienced contractors, despite what many homeowners expect. Installation typically takes between half a day to three days, depending on the project scope.
The process happens in two phases: rooftop installation involving cutting the opening and securing the skylight, followed by interior finishing work. Simple installations on accessible roofs move faster, while complex roof configurations or multiple skylights take longer. We explain what needs to be done and provide estimates in one visit, then return to complete the job. Most of our Bayport customers are surprised how quickly their dark spaces transform.
It depends on what you’re trying to accomplish. We offer fixed, vented, or tubular skylights for small spaces. Fixed skylights work great when you primarily want natural light, while venting skylights are perfect for humid areas like bathrooms or kitchens, improving airflow and reducing condensation.
Options include manual opening skylights for fresh air and ventilation, electronic skylights that sync with smart-home systems, and sun tunnels for spaces that can’t accommodate full-sized skylights. Modern skylights with Low-E coatings and solar-powered options reduce energy consumption, which matters for Long Island’s variable weather. We help you choose based on your specific room needs and energy goals.
Absolutely, when installed properly. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, ENERGY STAR certified skylights can reduce energy bills by up to 13% on heating and cooling costs. More daylight means less need for lamps and overhead lights, helping minimize electricity use and lower energy bills.
Energy-efficient skylights allow passive solar heat to warm living spaces in cooler months, reducing furnace use, while venting skylights release hot air in warmer months, helping keep homes cooler without overworking air conditioners. The key is choosing ENERGY STAR certified models with proper installation. We’ve seen Bayport homeowners reduce their lighting costs significantly, especially in spaces that used to need lights on all day.
The general rule is to replace skylights every 10 years, though some signs tell you it’s time sooner. Skylights that become discolored or murky over time stop light from coming into rooms, defeating the whole purpose.
Cracked glass means it’s time to replace the skylight – it’s not appealing and dangerous to have overhead. If you’re seeing water damage or mildew developing around your skylight, that’s a clear sign of problems. Broken skylights need complete replacement – there’s no way to repair them, though you can upgrade to energy-efficient, strong multi-layered tempered glass. We provide honest assessments about repair versus replacement options based on what makes financial sense for your situation.
