Your rooms stay brighter longer, cutting electricity costs while natural light improves your mood and energy levels. No more switching on lights during the day or dealing with stuffy, closed-off spaces.
Modern skylights with proper installation reduce your monthly energy bills by up to $13 while flooding your home with the kind of natural light that makes everything feel more open and welcoming. You get the privacy you need without sacrificing the brightness you want.
The difference shows up immediately – darker hallways become inviting walkways, cramped bathrooms feel spacious, and living areas transform into the kinds of spaces where you actually want to spend time.
We bring a family legacy of exterior renovation expertise to every skylight project in Brightwaters and throughout Suffolk County. We’ve spent decades learning how Long Island weather affects roofing systems and skylights.
Local homeowners trust us because we understand the unique challenges Suffolk County properties face – from harsh winter freeze-thaw cycles to summer heat that can turn improperly installed skylights into problems. Our team combines traditional craftsmanship with modern installation techniques.
Every project receives personal oversight from our family-owned business, ensuring the quality and attention to detail that has built our reputation in communities like Brightwaters, where word-of-mouth recommendations matter most.
We start with a thorough assessment of your roof structure and the rooms where you want more natural light. Our team identifies the optimal placement for maximum light while ensuring proper water runoff and structural integrity.
The installation process typically takes one day for most residential projects. We carefully cut the roof opening, install premium flashing systems, and mount your new skylight with precision sealing techniques that prevent leaks. All work includes proper insulation and interior finishing.
After installation, we conduct a complete inspection and walk you through your new skylight’s features. You’ll see the difference immediately – more natural light, better ventilation if you chose a venting model, and the peace of mind that comes with professional installation backed by our comprehensive warranty.

Our skylight installations include everything needed for long-term performance in Brightwaters’ climate. We use premium VELUX and other leading brand skylights designed specifically for Long Island weather conditions, from winter storms to summer heat.
Each installation features advanced flashing systems, proper insulation, and leak-prevention techniques that address the common problems Suffolk County homeowners face. You get low-E coatings for energy efficiency, impact-resistant glazing for durability, and professional-grade sealing that withstands freeze-thaw cycles.
Local building permits and inspections are handled as part of our service, ensuring your installation meets all Suffolk County requirements. Whether you’re adding skylights to a new construction project or installing them in your existing Brightwaters home, we provide the complete solution from planning through final inspection.
Skylight installation in Brightwaters typically ranges from $1,000 to $3,000 per skylight, depending on size, type, and installation complexity. Fixed skylights cost less than venting models, and tubular skylights offer the most budget-friendly option for smaller spaces.
The total cost includes the skylight unit, professional installation, flashing, insulation, interior finishing, and any necessary permits. We provide detailed written estimates that break down all costs upfront, so you know exactly what to expect.
Most homeowners find the investment pays for itself through energy savings and improved home value. A properly installed skylight can save up to $50 annually in lighting costs while adding natural light that makes your home more attractive to potential buyers.
Not when installed correctly by experienced professionals. Skylight leaks typically result from improper installation, inadequate flashing, or using inferior materials that can’t handle Long Island’s freeze-thaw cycles.
We use advanced flashing systems and premium sealing techniques specifically designed for Suffolk County weather conditions. Our installation process includes proper insulation around the skylight opening and professional-grade underlayment that prevents water intrusion even during heavy storms.
Every skylight installation comes with our leak-free guarantee. We’ve been installing skylights in Brightwaters and throughout Suffolk County long enough to know what works and what doesn’t – and we stand behind our work with comprehensive warranties that protect your investment.
Most residential skylight installations in Brightwaters are completed in one day. Simple installations on accessible roofs with standard framing can often be finished in 4-6 hours, while more complex projects may take a full day.
The timeline depends on factors like roof type, skylight size, whether interior work is needed, and weather conditions. We’ll provide a realistic timeframe during your initial consultation and keep you informed throughout the process.
Our team arrives prepared with all necessary materials and equipment, minimizing disruption to your daily routine. We also handle complete cleanup, so your property looks better than when we started – just brighter inside.
For Suffolk County homes, we recommend skylights with low-E coatings and impact-resistant glazing to handle our climate extremes. Venting skylights work well for bathrooms and kitchens where moisture control matters, while fixed skylights are ideal for living areas and hallways.
VELUX and other premium brands offer the durability and energy efficiency that Long Island homeowners need. These skylights feature advanced glazing systems that minimize heat loss in winter and reduce heat gain in summer, helping control energy costs year-round.
The best choice depends on your specific room, roof type, and goals. During our consultation, we’ll assess your home’s unique characteristics and recommend skylights that deliver the natural light and performance you’re looking for.
Yes, skylight installation typically requires building permits in Brightwaters and throughout Suffolk County. Permits ensure the work meets local building codes and safety standards, protecting both your investment and your family’s safety.
We handle all permit applications and inspections as part of our service, working directly with local building departments to ensure compliance. This includes submitting proper documentation, scheduling required inspections, and addressing any questions from building officials.
Attempting to skip permits can result in fines, insurance complications, or problems when selling your home. Our experience with Suffolk County building requirements means your project proceeds smoothly from start to finish with all necessary approvals in place.
Modern skylights significantly reduce your need for artificial lighting during daylight hours, cutting electricity costs by up to $50 annually for a typical room. The natural light from one 2×4 skylight provides illumination equivalent to eleven 100-watt light bulbs.
Energy-efficient skylights with low-E coatings also help regulate indoor temperatures. In winter, they allow passive solar heating that reduces heating costs. In summer, venting skylights let hot air escape naturally, reducing air conditioning usage.
Properly installed skylights with quality glazing and insulation create a more comfortable indoor environment while lowering your overall energy consumption. The combination of reduced lighting and HVAC costs means most homeowners see meaningful savings on their monthly utility bills.
