Your dark hallways and dim bathrooms don’t have to stay that way. A properly installed skylight transforms those spaces from forgotten corners into bright, welcoming areas you actually want to spend time in.
You’ll notice the difference immediately – natural light streaming in where you used to flip switches during the day. Your energy bills drop as you rely less on artificial lighting. And with energy-efficient models, you can qualify for federal tax credits up to 30% of the installation cost.
The real benefit comes from working with contractors who know what we’re doing. No surprise leaks six months later. No water stains on your ceiling. Just reliable natural light that works the way it should from day one.
SkyLuxe Construction isn’t just another contractor – we’re your neighbors. This family-owned business has been serving Suffolk County homeowners for years, and we understand exactly what works in Center Moriches homes.
We’ve seen too many skylight horror stories from improper installations. That’s why we do things differently. Every installation gets the same attention we’d give our own family’s home, with proper flashing, quality materials, and the kind of workmanship that prevents problems before they start.
When you’re dealing with something as important as cutting into your roof, you want contractors who’ve built their reputation one satisfied customer at a time. That’s exactly what you get with SkyLuxe Construction.
We start with a thorough inspection of your roof and the space below. Not every location works for every type of skylight, and we’ll tell you honestly what makes sense for your specific situation.
Once we’ve identified the best placement, we handle all the structural work – cutting the opening, installing proper framing, and ensuring everything is weatherproofed correctly. The skylight itself goes in with precision flashing that prevents leaks, not the shortcuts that cause problems later.
Interior finishing comes next, including any drywall work and trim to make everything look seamless. We clean up completely when we’re done, leaving you with nothing but the natural light you wanted. Most installations complete in a single day, weather permitting.

Every skylight installation includes professional-grade flashing systems designed specifically for Long Island weather conditions. We use materials that handle our coastal humidity and temperature swings without failing over time.
You’ll get energy-efficient glass options that qualify for federal tax credits – up to 30% of your installation cost back through 2032. These aren’t just marketing claims; they’re verified savings that show up on your energy bills and your tax return.
Center Moriches homes benefit from our local expertise with Suffolk County building codes and permit requirements. We handle all the paperwork and inspections, so you don’t have to navigate the bureaucracy yourself. Plus, our installations come with warranties that actually mean something when you need them.
Skylight installation in Center Moriches typically ranges from $2,300 to $3,200 for most residential projects, though costs can vary from $1,100 to $5,400 depending on size, type, and complexity.
The biggest factors affecting your cost are the type of skylight you choose and any structural modifications needed. Fixed skylights cost less than vented models, and standard sizes cost less than custom dimensions. If we need to build a light shaft through an attic space, that adds to the project scope.
Remember that energy-efficient models qualify for federal tax credits up to 30% of the cost, which can significantly offset your investment. We’ll help you understand which models qualify and provide all the documentation you need for your tax filing.
A properly installed skylight shouldn’t leak, period. The leak problems you hear about almost always come from poor installation, not the skylight itself.
The key is proper flashing installation and understanding how water moves on your specific roof. We use step flashing and continuous flashing systems designed for Long Island’s weather patterns, not generic solutions that work somewhere else but fail here. Every penetration gets sealed with materials rated for coastal conditions.
We also inspect the surrounding roof area before installation. If your shingles are compromised or your roof deck has issues, we’ll address those first. There’s no point installing a perfect skylight on a roof that’s already having problems. That’s why our installations come with leak-free guarantees we actually stand behind.
Absolutely, and it’s actually the ideal time to add skylights. When we’re already working on your roof replacement, adding skylight installation makes the project more efficient and cost-effective.
You get better integration between the new roofing materials and skylight flashing when everything goes in together. Plus, you avoid the cost of removing and replacing roofing materials twice – once for the roof, then again for the skylight later.
We coordinate the entire project so your skylights are properly positioned and flashed with your new roofing system. This approach gives you the most reliable, longest-lasting results while saving you money compared to separate projects. If you’ve been thinking about skylights and need roof work, now’s the perfect time to do both.
Energy-efficient fixed and vented skylights perform best in Suffolk County’s climate. Fixed skylights work great for areas where you just want natural light, like hallways or living rooms. Vented skylights are perfect for bathrooms and kitchens where you need both light and air circulation.
For our coastal conditions, we recommend skylights with Low-E glass coatings and argon gas fills. These handle our humidity and temperature swings better than basic models, and they qualify for federal tax credits. Tubular skylights work well for smaller spaces like closets or interior bathrooms.
We typically avoid south-facing installations unless you specifically want the extra heat gain. East and north-facing skylights provide excellent natural light without turning your room into a greenhouse during summer months. The key is matching the right skylight type to your specific room and how you use it.
Yes, skylight installation requires building permits in Center Moriches, and we handle all the permit applications and inspections for you. This isn’t just bureaucratic paperwork – permits ensure the work meets Suffolk County building codes and safety standards.
The permit process typically takes 1-2 weeks, depending on the town’s current workload. We submit all the required structural drawings and specifications, coordinate with building inspectors, and make sure everything passes inspection before we consider the job complete.
Some contractors try to skip permits to save time or money, but that creates problems when you sell your home or file insurance claims. We do everything by the book because it protects you long-term. Plus, permitted work often qualifies for better warranty coverage and insurance protection.
Quality skylights properly installed in Suffolk County typically last 20-30 years, similar to your roof. The key factors are using materials rated for coastal conditions and professional installation that prevents water infiltration.
Our climate is tough on building materials – salt air, temperature swings, and occasional severe weather. That’s why we use skylights with tempered glass, corrosion-resistant frames, and flashing systems designed for marine environments. Cheap materials or poor installation can fail in just a few years.
Regular maintenance helps maximize lifespan. We recommend annual inspections to check flashing and seals, plus cleaning the glass and clearing any debris from around the skylight. Most homeowners can handle basic cleaning, but we’re always available for inspections or repairs when needed. Properly maintained skylights often outlast the roof they’re installed on.
