You’re not just getting a hole cut in your roof. You’re getting a carefully planned lighting solution that transforms how your home feels every single day.
When done right, skylight installation floods your East Hampton home with natural light that reduces your energy bills and creates spaces you actually want to spend time in. No more dark corners or rooms that feel closed off from the outside world.
The difference between amateur work and professional installation shows up immediately. Our installations stay leak-free, maintain proper insulation, and deliver the energy savings you’re expecting from day one.
SkyLuxe Construction Inc brings years of exterior home improvement experience specifically to Suffolk County homeowners. We understand East Hampton’s weather patterns, local building requirements, and the architectural styles that define this area.
As a full-service contractor specializing in residential work, we’ve seen what happens when skylights are installed by companies that don’t understand Long Island’s unique challenges. That’s why we focus exclusively on quality installations that last.
Our team knows the difference between a quick job and work that protects your investment. When you’re dealing with your roof, that difference matters.
First, we assess your roof structure and discuss exactly what you want to achieve with your new skylight. Every home in East Hampton is different, and we plan accordingly.
Next comes the precise installation work. We cut the opening, install proper flashing and weatherproofing, and mount your skylight using manufacturer specifications. This isn’t where you want shortcuts.
Finally, we complete the interior finishing work and walk you through everything we’ve done. You’ll know exactly how your new skylight operates and what to expect in terms of maintenance.
The entire process typically takes one to two days, depending on your specific situation and any interior finishing work required.

Your skylight installation includes everything needed for a complete, weatherproof installation. That means proper structural assessment, precise cutting, professional-grade flashing, and interior finishing work.
We work with premium skylight brands that are built for Long Island’s weather conditions. These aren’t the basic models you’ll find at big box stores – they’re designed for durability and energy efficiency.
East Hampton homeowners particularly benefit from vented skylights in kitchens and bathrooms, where moisture control matters. Fixed skylights work well in living areas where you want maximum light without the complexity of moving parts.
Every installation comes with manufacturer warranties plus our guarantee on the installation work itself. That’s protection you won’t get from general contractors who only occasionally install skylights.
Skylight installation costs in East Hampton typically range from $1,850 to $5,000 per skylight, depending on the size, type, and complexity of your roof. Fixed skylights are the most affordable option, while vented or solar-powered models cost more but offer additional functionality.
Labor costs in Suffolk County run about 10-15% higher than the national average due to the skilled expertise required and local cost of living. However, this investment in professional installation prevents the expensive water damage that often results from improper DIY installation.
The total cost includes the skylight unit, professional installation, proper flashing, interior finishing work, and any necessary structural modifications. We provide detailed estimates that break down all costs upfront, so there are no surprises.
Fixed skylights don’t open – they’re designed purely to bring natural light into your space. They’re the most affordable option and work well in living rooms, dining areas, or anywhere you want bright, consistent lighting without ventilation.
Vented skylights can be opened manually or automatically to provide both light and air circulation. They’re particularly valuable in East Hampton homes for kitchens, bathrooms, or any space where moisture control and fresh air matter.
For Suffolk County’s climate, vented skylights help reduce humidity during our humid summers and prevent condensation problems that can lead to mold or interior damage. The choice depends on your specific room and what you’re trying to achieve.
Proper installation is the most critical factor in preventing skylight leaks. This means using correct flashing techniques, ensuring proper roof integration, and following manufacturer specifications exactly. Most skylight leaks result from installation shortcuts, not skylight defects.
The flashing system around your skylight is what keeps water out, and it needs to be installed by someone who understands how water moves across East Hampton roofs during our storms and snow loads.
Regular maintenance also matters. We recommend annual inspections to check that seals remain intact and that no debris has damaged the flashing. Small issues caught early prevent major water damage later. Professional installation with quality materials gives you the best chance of a leak-free skylight for decades.
Yes, properly installed skylights can reduce energy costs by decreasing your need for artificial lighting during daylight hours and providing natural heating in cooler months. In East Hampton’s climate, this translates to measurable savings on your electric bill.
The key is strategic placement and choosing energy-efficient models. South-facing skylights provide maximum light and winter heating benefits, while north-facing installations offer consistent, cooler light that doesn’t create hot spots in summer.
Modern skylights with low-E coatings and proper glazing help maintain your home’s insulation value while still providing the light benefits. However, these energy savings only work with professional installation that maintains proper sealing and insulation around the skylight opening.
We primarily work with Velux skylights because they’re specifically engineered for climates like ours and offer the best combination of durability, energy efficiency, and weather resistance. Velux has been the industry standard for decades and provides excellent warranties.
For Suffolk County homes, we also recommend brands that use premium materials designed to handle coastal weather conditions, including salt air exposure and storm conditions. The frame materials and sealing systems need to withstand Long Island’s temperature swings and humidity levels.
Cheaper skylights might save money upfront, but they often fail prematurely in our climate, leading to leaks and energy loss. We focus on brands that will perform reliably for 20+ years, which makes them a better long-term investment for East Hampton homeowners.
Most residential skylight installations in East Hampton take one to two days to complete. Single skylight installations on straightforward roofs typically finish in one day, while multiple skylights or complex roof configurations may require two days.
The timeline depends on factors like your roof material, accessibility, interior finishing requirements, and weather conditions. We always plan installations during favorable weather to ensure proper sealing and curing of materials.
We coordinate the work to minimize disruption to your daily routine. The roof work happens first, followed by interior finishing. We protect your home’s interior throughout the process and clean up completely before considering the job finished.
