Your mornings start brighter. Your energy bills drop. Your home feels more open and inviting than it has in years.
That’s what happens when skylights are installed correctly. You get abundant natural light streaming into spaces that used to feel dark and cramped. You stop reaching for light switches during the day because free sunlight does the work. Your heating and cooling systems don’t work as hard because strategically placed skylights help regulate temperature naturally.
The difference between professional installation and cutting corners isn’t just about avoiding leaks—though that matters plenty. It’s about getting skylights that actually deliver on their promise of transforming how your home feels and functions.
We bring years of specialized experience to every skylight installation in East Hampton North. We’re not general handymen trying to figure out skylights on your roof—we’re Suffolk County exterior specialists who understand exactly how skylights perform in our local climate.
We know the weather patterns that affect your home. We understand the building requirements specific to our area. Most importantly, we know what it takes to install skylights that won’t give you headaches down the road.
Our track record speaks for itself through completed projects across Suffolk County, where homeowners trust us with their most important exterior improvements.
First, we assess your roof structure and discuss exactly where you want more natural light. We measure everything precisely and explain what’s involved before we start cutting into anything.
Next comes the careful work—opening your roof in the exact right spot, installing proper flashing systems that keep water out permanently, and positioning your skylight for maximum light and energy efficiency. We handle all the structural work, weatherproofing, and interior finishing.
Finally, we test everything thoroughly and walk you through your new skylight’s features. You’ll know exactly how it works and what to expect. No surprises, no shortcuts, no coming back to fix problems that shouldn’t have happened in the first place.

Every skylight installation includes proper structural assessment, precision cutting, professional-grade flashing systems, and complete weatherproofing. We use energy-efficient skylights that meet ENERGY STAR standards, helping you qualify for federal tax credits up to 30% on solar-powered options.
In East Hampton North’s climate, proper installation means accounting for our seasonal weather patterns—from summer heat to winter storms. We orient skylights to maximize natural light while minimizing unwanted heat gain. Our flashing systems are designed to handle everything Long Island weather throws at them.
You also get our commitment to doing the job right the first time. That means no callbacks for leaks, no settling for “good enough,” and no wondering if your investment was worth it. Professional installation costs more upfront because it prevents the expensive problems that come from cutting corners.
Skylight installation in East Hampton North typically ranges from $1,500 to $4,500 per skylight, depending on size, type, and roof complexity. This includes the skylight unit, professional installation, proper flashing, and interior finishing work.
Energy-efficient models cost more initially but qualify for federal tax credits up to 30% and reduce your energy bills long-term. Simple installations on accessible roofs cost less than complex jobs requiring structural modifications. We provide detailed estimates that break down exactly what you’re paying for, so you can make informed decisions about your investment.
Properly installed skylights don’t leak. The key is professional installation with correct flashing systems and weatherproofing techniques designed for Long Island’s climate conditions.
Most skylight leaks happen because of improper installation—inadequate flashing, poor sealing, or incorrect positioning that creates water collection points. We use multi-layer flashing systems and proven weatherproofing methods that have protected Suffolk County homes for years. Our installation process accounts for thermal expansion, seasonal weather changes, and your roof’s specific characteristics to prevent leaks permanently.
Energy-efficient skylights typically reduce household energy bills by 10-15% through decreased artificial lighting needs and passive solar heating benefits. The exact savings depend on skylight placement, size, and your current energy usage patterns.
During daylight hours, skylights eliminate the need for electric lighting in most rooms. In winter, south-facing skylights provide free solar heating that reduces your heating system’s workload. Modern ENERGY STAR skylights are designed to maximize these benefits while minimizing summer heat gain through advanced glazing technology. Most homeowners see noticeable bill reductions within the first few months.
Skylight size should not exceed 5% of your room’s floor area if you have existing windows, or 15% if the room has few or no windows. This Department of Energy guideline ensures optimal light without excessive heat gain or loss.
For example, a 12×15 foot room (180 square feet) with several windows should have a skylight no larger than 9 square feet. The same room without windows could accommodate up to 27 square feet of skylight area. We help you determine the ideal size based on your room’s dimensions, existing light sources, and how you use the space.
Skylights can be installed on most roof types, but the installation method varies depending on your roofing material, pitch, and structural characteristics. Asphalt shingle roofs are the most straightforward, while tile, slate, or metal roofs require specialized techniques.
Roof pitch affects skylight performance and installation complexity. Very steep or very flat roofs present unique challenges that require experienced contractors to handle properly. We assess your specific roof conditions and explain exactly what’s involved before starting work. Some roof types may require additional structural support or modified flashing systems to ensure long-term performance.
Most single skylight installations take one to two days, depending on roof complexity and interior finishing requirements. Multiple skylights or complex installations may take longer.
Day one typically involves roof work—cutting the opening, installing flashing, and mounting the skylight unit. Day two covers interior work like drywall finishing and trim installation. Weather conditions can affect timing, and we never rush installation to meet arbitrary deadlines. Proper installation takes the time it takes to do it right, ensuring you get the results you’re paying for without future problems.
