Your dark kitchen doesn’t have to stay that way. Neither does that dim hallway or that bathroom where you’re squinting at the mirror every morning.
A properly installed skylight changes everything. You’ll use your overhead lights less during the day, which means lower electric bills. The natural light makes spaces feel bigger and more welcoming. And when it’s time to sell, buyers notice homes that feel bright and open.
But here’s what matters most: you get to enjoy your home more. Natural light improves your mood, especially during those long Suffolk County winters when daylight feels scarce.
SkyLuxe Construction isn’t just another contractor. We’re a family-owned business that’s been serving Suffolk County homeowners for years, and we understand what matters to you.
You want the job done right the first time. You want clear communication about timeline and cost. You want to work with people who show up when they say they will and clean up after themselves.
That’s exactly what you get with us. Our owner Al oversees every project personally, ensuring the work meets our standards before we consider it complete. We’re licensed, insured, and committed to treating your home with the same care we’d give our own.
First, we’ll assess your roof and discuss your goals. We’ll identify the best location for your skylight based on your home’s structure and the light you want to achieve. No guesswork, no surprises.
Next, we handle all the technical details. We carefully cut the roof opening, install proper flashing to prevent leaks, and ensure the skylight is properly sealed and insulated. Our team works efficiently to minimize disruption to your daily routine.
Finally, we complete the interior work, including any necessary drywall finishing around the skylight shaft. We clean up thoroughly and walk through the completed installation with you to ensure everything meets your expectations.

Today’s skylights aren’t the leaky, energy-wasting units from decades past. The skylights we install feature Low-E glass coatings that reflect heat while allowing natural light through. Double or triple glazing provides excellent insulation.
In Central Islip’s climate, this matters. Your skylight will help warm your home naturally during sunny winter days, reducing heating costs. In summer, vented models allow hot air to escape, keeping your home cooler without overworking your air conditioner.
We work with quality manufacturers who back their products with solid warranties. And because we integrate skylight installation with our other roofing services, we can often coordinate the work with roof repairs or replacement, saving you time and money.
Skylight installation in Central Islip typically ranges from $2,500 to $6,000, depending on the size, type, and complexity of the installation. Fixed skylights are the most affordable option, while vented or motorized models cost more but offer additional benefits.
The final cost depends on your roof type, the interior finishing work needed, and any additional features like blinds or remote controls. We provide detailed, written estimates that clearly outline what’s included, so you know exactly what to expect before we begin work.
When properly installed by experienced professionals, modern skylights are highly resistant to leaks. The key is proper flashing installation and sealing, which we handle meticulously on every job.
We use high-quality flashing materials and follow manufacturer specifications exactly. We also apply waterproof membranes and ensure proper integration with your existing roofing system. Our installation process is designed to prevent water intrusion, and we stand behind our work with comprehensive warranties.
Poor installation is usually the culprit when skylights leak, which is why choosing an experienced contractor matters so much.
Absolutely, and this is often the most cost-effective approach. When we’re already working on your roof, adding skylight installation makes perfect sense from both a timing and cost perspective.
We can coordinate the skylight installation with roof replacement, ensuring proper integration between the new roofing materials and the skylight flashing. This approach often saves money compared to separate projects and ensures everything is installed as a cohesive system.
If you’re considering both a new roof and skylights, discussing both projects together allows us to provide the most efficient and economical solution.
Energy-efficient skylights can reduce your heating and cooling costs by up to 13% according to the U.S. Department of Energy. They provide natural lighting during the day, reducing your need for artificial lighting and lowering electric bills.
In winter, skylights allow passive solar heating, helping warm your home naturally on sunny days. In summer, vented skylights release hot air that rises to the ceiling, reducing the load on your air conditioning system.
Modern skylights with Low-E coatings and proper insulation perform much better than older models. They’re designed to maximize light while minimizing unwanted heat gain or loss, making them a smart investment for Suffolk County homeowners.
For Central Islip’s climate, we typically recommend skylights with Low-E glass and good insulation properties. Fixed skylights are cost-effective for adding light, while vented skylights provide both light and ventilation benefits.
Tubular skylights work well for smaller spaces like bathrooms or hallways where you want light but don’t need a view. For larger spaces like kitchens or living areas, traditional skylights provide more dramatic lighting effects.
We’ll assess your specific needs, roof structure, and budget to recommend the best skylight type for your situation. Every home is different, and the right choice depends on your goals and preferences.
Most skylight installations take one to two days to complete, depending on the complexity and number of skylights being installed. Simple installations on accessible roofs can often be completed in a single day.
More complex installations involving structural modifications or extensive interior finishing work may take longer. We’ll provide a clear timeline during our initial consultation and keep you informed throughout the process.
Weather can affect outdoor work, so we monitor conditions and adjust schedules as needed to ensure safe, quality installation. Our goal is to complete your project efficiently while maintaining the high standards you expect.
