You’re tired of dark rooms that need lights on all day. You want natural light streaming in, but you’ve heard the horror stories about leaky skylights causing water damage and insurance headaches.
Here’s what changes when we install your skylight the right way. Your space fills with natural light that reduces your electric bill from day one. No more flipping switches in rooms that should be bright. No more worrying about whether your skylight will hold up during the next storm.
Our installations include proper flashing, premium sealing, and everything needed to keep water where it belongs – outside. You get the light you want without the problems you don’t.
SkyLuxe Construction isn’t just another contractor. We’re a family business that’s been handling exterior renovations in Suffolk County for decades, and we know exactly what works in Commack’s climate.
We’ve seen what happens when skylights are installed wrong. Water damage, insurance claims, frustrated homeowners calling us to fix someone else’s mess. That’s why we do it right the first time – with proper materials, correct techniques, and the kind of attention to detail that comes from caring about our local reputation.
Every skylight installation gets personal oversight from our team. We’re not rushing to the next job. We’re making sure your project meets the standards our family name stands for.
First, we inspect your roof and discuss exactly where you want more light. We’ll explain what’s involved, what it costs, and how we’ll handle everything from cutting the opening to finishing the interior work.
Next, we handle all the structural work – cutting the roof opening, installing proper flashing, and mounting your skylight with materials designed for Long Island weather. We coordinate any interior finishing so you’re not dealing with multiple contractors.
Finally, we test everything to make sure it’s completely sealed and working properly. You get a thorough walkthrough of your new skylight, and we clean up completely before we leave.

Your skylight installation includes everything needed for a permanent, leak-free result. We handle the roof opening, structural framing, premium flashing installation, and proper sealing with materials rated for Suffolk County’s weather extremes.
Commack homes face unique challenges – from nor’easters that test every seal to summer heat that can cause expansion issues. We use installation techniques and materials specifically chosen for Long Island conditions, not generic approaches that work elsewhere but fail here.
You also get interior finishing coordination, complete cleanup, and a thorough explanation of your new skylight’s operation. We’re not done until you’re completely satisfied with both the installation and the results.
Skylight installation in Commack typically ranges from $2,500 to $6,000, depending on the size, type, and complexity of your project. Fixed skylights cost less than venting models, and tubular skylights are the most budget-friendly option.
The final cost depends on your roof type, accessibility, interior finishing requirements, and whether you choose basic or premium features like remote controls or rain sensors. We provide detailed estimates that include all materials and labor, so you know exactly what you’re investing in.
We never surprise you with hidden costs or change orders. Every estimate includes a complete breakdown of what’s included and what’s optional.
Properly installed skylights don’t leak. The problems you hear about come from poor installation – inadequate flashing, wrong materials, or shortcuts that save time but cost you later.
Our installations use premium flashing systems and sealing materials specifically designed for Long Island weather. We follow manufacturer specifications exactly and add extra protection where Suffolk County conditions demand it. Every seal is tested before we consider the job complete.
Most skylight leaks aren’t actually from the skylight itself – they’re from damaged or improperly installed flashing around the skylight. That’s why we handle the entire installation as one integrated system, not separate components that might fail where they connect.
Yes, we can install skylights year-round in Commack, though timing affects the process. Winter installations require extra weather protection and careful scheduling around storms, but they’re completely feasible with proper planning.
We use temporary weatherproofing during installation to keep your home dry and warm. The actual roof opening and skylight installation typically takes one day, minimizing exposure time. We monitor weather forecasts carefully and only proceed when conditions allow for quality work.
Winter installations actually have some advantages – you immediately see the difference in natural light during the darkest months, and you’re ready to enjoy maximum benefits when spring arrives.
Most skylight installations in Commack require building permits, especially when cutting new roof openings or making structural modifications. We handle all permit applications and ensure your installation meets local building codes.
The permit process typically takes a few days to a week, depending on the scope of work. We include permit costs in our estimates and coordinate all inspections so you don’t have to deal with bureaucracy. Our installations consistently pass inspection because we know exactly what Commack building officials expect.
Skipping permits might seem like a shortcut, but it can cause serious problems when you sell your home or file insurance claims. We do everything by the book so your investment is protected.
The best skylight depends on your specific needs and room layout. Fixed skylights are most affordable and work well for spaces where you just want natural light. Venting skylights add fresh air circulation and work great in bathrooms or kitchens.
For Commack’s climate, we typically recommend double-glazed units with Low-E coatings to handle temperature extremes. Tubular skylights are excellent for smaller spaces like hallways or closets where traditional skylights won’t fit.
We evaluate your home’s orientation, roof pitch, and interior layout to recommend the optimal type and placement. South-facing skylights provide maximum light, while north-facing units offer consistent, indirect illumination without glare.
Quality skylights properly installed in Suffolk County typically last 15-20 years or more. The key factors are using premium materials rated for our weather conditions and professional installation that prevents the common failure points.
Cheaper skylights or poor installation might need replacement in 5-10 years, making professional installation a smart long-term investment. We use materials from leading manufacturers with proven track records in northeastern climates.
Regular maintenance – cleaning, checking seals, and clearing debris – helps maximize lifespan. We provide maintenance guidelines and remain available for service throughout your skylight’s life. Most issues we see are easily preventable with proper care.
