Your mornings start brighter. Your electric bills shrink. Your home feels bigger, warmer, and more welcoming.
That’s what happens when skylights are installed right. You get natural light flooding the spaces that need it most—dark hallways, windowless bathrooms, cramped kitchens. The kind of light that makes you want to spend time in those rooms again.
But it’s more than just light. It’s about cutting your energy costs by up to 13% while your home value climbs. It’s about opening your space to the sky without sacrificing privacy or comfort.
SkyLuxe Construction Inc has been transforming Suffolk County homes with professional exterior improvements for years. We understand what Dix Hills homeowners need—quality work that lasts, from contractors who show up when we say we will.
In a community where home values average nearly $1 million, details matter. That’s why we focus on leak-proof installations using premium materials and proven techniques. No shortcuts, no surprises, no callbacks for problems that shouldn’t exist.
Our full-service approach means you’re working with exterior specialists who know roofing, siding, and all the details that make skylight installation successful.
First, we assess your roof structure and help you choose the right skylight for your space. Size matters—too small and you won’t get the light you want, too large and you’ll create glare and temperature issues.
Next comes the precision work. We cut the opening, install proper flashing and waterproof barriers, then mount your skylight with the kind of attention to detail that prevents leaks for decades. The interior finishing creates a seamless light well that looks like it was always part of your home.
Finally, we clean up completely and walk you through everything. You’ll know how your new skylight works, what to expect, and how to maintain it. Most importantly, you’ll have the confidence that comes from working with professionals who guarantee their work.

Every skylight installation includes proper structural assessment, premium ENERGY STAR certified skylights, professional-grade flashing systems, and complete interior finishing. We handle permits, coordinate with your schedule, and ensure everything meets Suffolk County building codes.
For Dix Hills homeowners, this means skylights designed to handle Long Island weather—from summer heat to winter storms. The coastal climate demands installation techniques that account for humidity, temperature swings, and the occasional nor’easter.
You’ll also get guidance on placement and sizing specific to your home’s architecture. A skylight in the wrong spot or wrong size can create problems instead of solutions. Our experience with local homes means recommendations that actually work for your lifestyle and your budget.
Skylight installation in Suffolk County typically ranges from $1,060 to $5,303, depending on skylight size, roof complexity, and interior finishing requirements. The investment includes the skylight unit, professional installation, proper flashing, and interior light well completion.
Your specific cost depends on factors like roof pitch, roofing material, and whether you want basic or finished drywall light wells. Steeper roofs or tile/slate materials require more labor and care, which affects pricing.
Most Dix Hills homeowners find the investment pays for itself through reduced energy bills and increased home value. ENERGY STAR certified skylights can reduce heating and cooling costs by up to 13%, and the natural light reduces electricity usage during daylight hours.
Properly installed skylights don’t leak. The problems you hear about come from improper installation—inadequate flashing, poor sealing, or shortcuts that create water entry points.
Professional installation includes multiple waterproof barriers: proper flashing around the skylight frame, underlayment beneath your roofing material, and sealants designed for Long Island’s climate conditions. This creates overlapping protection that directs water away from the opening.
The key is working with experienced contractors who understand roof systems and use manufacturer-approved installation methods. That’s why many insurance companies won’t cover water damage from DIY or unprofessional skylight installations—they know the difference between proper and improper work.
Skylight size should be no more than 5% of your room’s floor area if the space has other windows, or up to 15% if it’s a room with few windows. This maximizes natural light without creating overwhelming glare or temperature issues.
For example, a 200-square-foot bathroom with no windows could handle a skylight up to 30 square feet, while a 300-square-foot kitchen with existing windows should stay around 15 square feet. These guidelines prevent the hot spots and cold zones that make rooms uncomfortable.
Your contractor should also consider ceiling height, room usage, and sun exposure when recommending size. A skylight that works perfectly in one room might be too large or too small for another, even if the square footage is similar.
Modern ENERGY STAR certified skylights are highly energy efficient when properly selected and installed. They reduce artificial lighting needs during daylight hours, provide passive solar heating in winter, and can include ventilation options that reduce cooling costs.
The key is choosing skylights with appropriate U-factor and Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC) ratings for Long Island’s climate. Lower U-factors mean better insulation, while SHGC ratings help balance winter heat gain with summer cooling needs.
Energy-efficient skylights often pay for themselves through reduced utility bills. Many homeowners see 10-15% reductions in lighting costs plus additional heating and cooling savings, especially in rooms that previously required lights during daytime hours.
Most single skylight installations take one full day, though complex installations or multiple skylights may require additional time. Weather conditions can affect scheduling since roof work requires dry conditions for proper sealing.
The process includes roof preparation, cutting the opening, installing flashing and waterproofing, mounting the skylight, and completing interior finishing. Professional crews work efficiently while maintaining the attention to detail that prevents future problems.
You’ll have a functioning skylight by the end of the installation day, though interior painting or trim work might extend into a second day depending on your finishing preferences. Most homeowners are surprised how quickly the transformation happens once the work begins.
Yes, skylight installation typically requires building permits in Suffolk County. The permit process ensures your installation meets local building codes and structural requirements, which protects your investment and maintains insurance coverage.
Professional contractors handle permit applications and inspections as part of their service. We understand local requirements and have established relationships with building departments, which streamlines the approval process.
Attempting installation without proper permits can create problems when selling your home or filing insurance claims. It’s also a safety issue—permits ensure installations meet structural and weatherproofing standards that protect your home long-term.
