Hear from Our Customers
Your home deserves more than just another window in the roof. When we install your skylight, you get spaces that feel bigger, brighter, and more alive with natural light that changes everything.
Dark hallways become welcoming. Cramped bathrooms feel spacious. Your energy bills drop because you’re using less artificial lighting during peak daytime hours. The air feels fresher with proper ventilation that actually works when you need it.
Most importantly, you get peace of mind knowing it’s installed right the first time. No leaks, no callbacks, no headaches down the road. Just the natural light you wanted without the problems you’ve heard about.
We’ve been serving Coram and Suffolk County homeowners who demand quality work from contractors they can trust. We’re the full-service exterior specialists who understand that your skylight isn’t just about letting in light—it’s about doing the job right the first time.
We know Suffolk County weather patterns and what it takes for skylights to perform through harsh winters and humid summers. That’s why we use proven installation methods and premium materials that stand up to Long Island’s climate challenges, from Coram’s freeze-thaw cycles to coastal humidity.
When you call us, you’re working with licensed contractors who live and work in your community, with the local knowledge and experience that actually matter for long-term performance.
First, we inspect your roof structure and discuss exactly what you want to achieve. We measure everything twice, check for potential obstacles, and explain what’s involved before any work begins. No surprises, no hidden complications discovered halfway through.
Next, we prepare the roof opening with precision cuts and proper structural framing. The skylight gets mounted with professional-grade flashing systems that create a watertight seal designed for Suffolk County weather. We don’t rush this critical step—it’s what prevents leaks five years down the road.
Finally, we complete the interior work, install proper insulation, and clean up completely. We walk through everything with you so you understand exactly how your new skylight operates and what to expect for maintenance. The whole process typically takes one to two days, depending on complexity and roof access.

Every skylight installation includes professional-grade step flashing, proper vapor barriers, and complete interior finishing work. We use energy-efficient models with low-E coatings that reduce heat transfer in summer and retain warmth in winter—essential for Coram’s temperature swings.
For Suffolk County homeowners, we recommend skylights specifically designed for our climate challenges. That means tempered glass that handles thermal stress, insulated frames that prevent condensation buildup, and ventilation options perfect for our humid summers and cold winters.
You also get our workmanship guarantee and expert guidance on choosing the best skylight type for your specific room and roof configuration. Whether you need fixed skylights for consistent natural light or ventilating models for moisture control in bathrooms and kitchens, we match the right product to your needs, budget, and home’s architecture.
Skylight installation in Coram typically ranges from $2,200 to $3,000 for most residential projects, though costs vary based on skylight type, roof complexity, and interior work needed. Fixed skylights are generally less expensive than ventilating models, while solar-powered options cost more upfront but offer long-term convenience.
The total includes the skylight unit, professional installation, step flashing, interior finishing, and complete cleanup. More complex installations requiring structural modifications or custom light shafts through attics cost more. We provide detailed estimates that break down all costs upfront so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
Energy-efficient models may qualify for tax credits, and the long-term energy savings often offset the initial investment within a few years through reduced lighting and cooling costs.
Not when installed properly with the right materials and techniques for Suffolk County’s climate. Leaking skylights are almost always the result of poor installation, inadequate flashing systems, or corners cut during the process—not the skylight itself.
We use advanced step flashing methods and high-quality sealants specifically designed for Long Island’s freeze-thaw cycles. Our installations include continuous ice and water shield, proper drainage systems, and flashing that directs water away from the opening under all weather conditions.
The key is working with experienced contractors who understand how water moves on roofs during different seasons and know the specific challenges of our local climate. We’re so confident in our leak-free installation methods that we guarantee our workmanship and stand behind every job.
For Suffolk County’s variable climate, we recommend double or triple-glazed skylights with low-E coatings and thermally broken frames. These handle our temperature extremes and significantly reduce condensation issues common during humid summers and cold winters.
Fixed skylights work well for living rooms and bedrooms where you want consistent natural light without ventilation. Ventilating skylights are perfect for bathrooms and kitchens where moisture control and air circulation matter most. Solar-powered ventilating models offer automated operation without electrical wiring.
The roof slope and orientation also affect performance. South-facing skylights provide maximum light and winter heating benefits but may require shades for summer comfort. North-facing installations offer gentler, more consistent illumination throughout the day without excessive heat gain.
Most residential skylight installations take one to two days to complete, depending on roof complexity, interior access, and weather conditions. Simple installations on accessible roofs with straightforward interior access often finish in a single day.
Projects requiring structural modifications, custom light shafts through attics, or multiple skylights take longer. We also factor in weather since we won’t compromise quality by rushing work in poor conditions that could affect the installation’s long-term performance.
We schedule installations during favorable weather windows and keep you informed throughout the process. The goal is quality workmanship that lasts decades, not speed that creates problems later. Most homeowners are surprised how quickly the transformation happens once we start.
Yes, most skylight installations in Coram require building permits, especially when cutting new roof openings or making structural modifications. The permit process ensures the work meets local building codes and safety requirements specific to Suffolk County.
We handle permit applications as part of our service and know exactly what Coram building officials require. This includes structural calculations for roof modifications, compliance with energy codes for new installations, and proper documentation for insurance purposes.
Working with permits protects your investment and ensures the installation meets all safety standards. It also prevents issues if you sell your home later, since buyers and home inspectors expect properly permitted work for major improvements like skylights.
Yes, properly installed energy-efficient skylights can significantly reduce lighting costs and provide natural heating benefits during cooler months. The key is choosing the right skylight type, placement, and glazing options for your specific home and energy goals.
Modern skylights with low-E coatings reduce unwanted heat gain in summer while allowing beneficial solar heat during winter months. This helps balance your home’s energy use throughout the year. Natural lighting during peak daytime hours reduces dependence on artificial lighting, which shows up directly on your electric bill.
Ventilating skylights also provide natural cooling by allowing hot air to escape during summer, reducing air conditioning loads. Many Coram homeowners see noticeable energy savings within the first year, and the benefits compound over time as energy costs continue rising.
