Hear from Our Customers
Your Blue Point home deserves more than just another window. When we install your skylight, you’re getting a transformation that floods your rooms with natural light while cutting your electricity costs.
The difference is immediate. Dark hallways become bright and welcoming. Stuffy bathrooms get fresh air circulation. And those high electricity bills? They start dropping the moment we finish your installation.
Modern energy-efficient skylights with low-E coatings don’t just bring light—they bring smart climate control. In winter, they capture passive solar heat to warm your space. In summer, venting models release hot air naturally, reducing the load on your air conditioning.
We specialize in exterior home improvement throughout Suffolk County, with deep roots in communities like Blue Point. We hold the required Suffolk County Home Improvement Contractor license and carry full liability and workers’ compensation insurance.
What sets us apart is our focus on residential work in Suffolk County. We understand Long Island’s unique climate challenges—from harsh winters in areas like Stony Brook to humid summers that demand proper ventilation.
Our team knows the local building codes, permit requirements, and installation techniques that work best for Blue Point’s mix of traditional and contemporary homes. When you hire us, you’re working with contractors who’ve been serving your neighbors for years.
We start with a thorough roof inspection to determine the best skylight placement for maximum light and energy efficiency. Our team evaluates your roof structure, checks for any existing issues, and identifies the optimal location based on your room’s purpose and your home’s orientation.
Next comes the precision work. We measure and mark the exact opening, then carefully cut through your roof while protecting your home’s interior. Our experienced installers handle all the structural modifications, including adding headers if needed and ensuring proper support.
The final step is where our expertise really shows. We install the skylight with professional-grade flashing and weatherproofing systems designed for Long Island’s climate. Every seal is tested, every connection is verified, and we don’t consider the job complete until your skylight is completely leak-proof and your interior finishes are restored to perfect condition.

All installations include precision roof cutting, structural modifications as needed, professional flashing and waterproofing, interior finishing work, and complete cleanup. We handle the permit process and ensure all work meets Suffolk County building codes.
Blue Point homeowners benefit from our local expertise with coastal climate considerations. We select skylights and installation methods that handle everything from winter snow loads to summer heat and humidity. Every installation comes with manufacturer warranties plus our guarantee on workmanship, giving you complete peace of mind about your investment.
Skylight installation costs in Blue Point typically range from $2,500 to $6,000, depending on the type of skylight, roof complexity, and finishing work required. Fixed skylights are the most affordable option, while venting skylights with electric operation cost more due to additional features.
The total cost includes the skylight unit, professional installation, flashing, waterproofing, and interior finishing. Factors that affect pricing include your roof’s pitch and material, the skylight’s size and features, and any structural modifications needed. We provide detailed estimates that break down all costs upfront, so you know exactly what to expect with no surprise charges.
Professional skylight installation with proper flashing and sealing prevents leaks when done correctly. The key is working with experienced contractors who understand Long Island’s climate and use quality materials designed for our weather conditions.
Leaks typically occur from poor installation, inadequate flashing, or using substandard materials. That’s why we use professional-grade flashing systems and follow manufacturer specifications exactly. We also provide warranties on both materials and workmanship, and we stand behind every installation with our no-leak guarantee.
DIY installations are far more likely to develop leaks because proper skylight installation requires specialized knowledge of roofing, flashing techniques, and weatherproofing methods that most homeowners don’t possess.
Most skylight installations in Blue Point take 1-2 days for new installations and 3-5 hours for replacements. The timeline depends on factors like roof complexity, weather conditions, and whether structural modifications are needed.
New installations require more time because we need to cut the roof opening, install proper framing, and complete interior finishing work. Replacement installations are faster since the opening and structural work already exist. We work efficiently while maintaining our quality standards, and we always clean up completely before considering the job finished.
Weather can affect timing, especially during Long Island’s winter months. We schedule installations during optimal conditions and communicate clearly about any delays to ensure your project stays on track.
Yes, skylight installation in Blue Point requires building permits since it involves structural modifications to your roof. As licensed Suffolk County contractors, we handle the entire permit process for you, ensuring all work meets local building codes and inspection requirements.
The permit process typically takes a few days to a week, depending on the town’s workload. We submit all necessary documentation, including installation plans and product specifications, and coordinate with building inspectors for required inspections during and after installation.
Working with licensed contractors ensures your permits are handled correctly and your installation meets all Suffolk County requirements. This protects you from potential issues if you ever sell your home or file insurance claims.
For Blue Point’s climate, we recommend energy-efficient skylights with low-E coatings and insulated glazing to handle Long Island’s temperature variations. Venting skylights work well for bathrooms and kitchens where humidity control is important, while fixed skylights are ideal for living areas where you primarily want natural light.
Double or triple glazing provides better insulation and noise reduction, which is beneficial for Long Island’s varying weather conditions. Solar-powered venting skylights offer the best of both worlds—they provide ventilation when needed and automatically close during rain or storms.
The skylight’s orientation matters too. South-facing skylights maximize winter solar heat gain, while north-facing installations provide consistent, cool illumination. We evaluate your specific situation and recommend the optimal skylight type and placement for your Blue Point home’s unique needs.
Yes, properly installed energy-efficient skylights can reduce your energy bills by up to 13% on heating and cooling costs. The savings come from reduced artificial lighting needs during daylight hours and passive solar heating in winter months.
Skylights with low-E coatings and quality glazing minimize heat loss in winter and reduce heat gain in summer. Venting models provide natural cooling by releasing hot air that rises to the ceiling, reducing your air conditioning load during Blue Point’s humid summers.
The actual savings depend on your home’s current energy efficiency, the skylight’s size and placement, and your family’s lighting habits. Most Blue Point homeowners see noticeable reductions in their electricity bills within the first month after installation, with the energy savings continuing for the skylight’s 15-40 year lifespan.
