Your mornings start brighter. Your electric bills get smaller. Your home feels bigger, warmer, and more inviting than you imagined possible.
That’s what happens when you stop settling for dark rooms and start letting Suffolk County’s natural light work for you. A properly installed skylight doesn’t just brighten your space—it transforms how your home feels and functions.
You’ll use less artificial lighting during the day. Your heating costs drop as natural sunlight warms your rooms. And your mood lifts along with your property value, because buyers love homes that feel bright and open.
We’ve been serving Suffolk County families for decades, and we understand what East Patchogue homes need. We’ve seen how Long Island weather affects roofs. We know which skylight styles work best with local architecture.
Our team combines traditional craftsmanship with modern installation techniques. Every project gets personal oversight because your investment matters to us.
When you choose us, you’re working with contractors who live and work in your community. We understand Suffolk County building requirements, weather patterns, and the quality standards that local homeowners expect.
First, we inspect your roof structure and determine the best placement for maximum light and energy efficiency. We consider your home’s orientation, existing framing, and how you use each room.
Next, we create precise openings and install proper flashing systems that prevent leaks for years to come. Our team uses advanced sealing techniques and premium materials designed for Suffolk County’s weather conditions.
Finally, we complete the interior finishing work and walk through everything with you. You’ll understand how your new skylights operate, what maintenance they need, and how to maximize their energy-saving benefits.

Every skylight installation includes professional roof assessment, precision cutting, weatherproof flashing installation, and complete interior finishing. We handle permits, cleanup, and final inspections.
In East Patchogue, we often recommend south-facing skylights for maximum winter warmth and east or west-facing options for softer light without overheating. Suffolk County’s building codes require specific energy efficiency ratings, and all our skylights exceed those standards.
Your installation comes with manufacturer warranties on materials and our craftsmanship guarantee on installation. We source skylights from trusted brands that perform well in Long Island’s climate, from summer storms to winter snow loads.
Most East Patchogue homeowners invest between $1,200 and $3,500 per skylight, depending on size, type, and roof complexity. Fixed skylights cost less than venting models, and standard sizes are more affordable than custom dimensions.
The total includes materials, professional installation, flashing, interior finishing, and cleanup. We provide detailed written estimates that break down all costs upfront, so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
Factors that affect price include your roof pitch, accessibility, whether you want manual or electric operation, and any structural modifications needed. We’ll assess your specific situation and give you an accurate quote during our free consultation.
Not when installed correctly with proper flashing systems. Skylight leaks almost always result from poor installation technique, not the skylight itself. That’s why professional installation matters so much.
We use multi-layer flashing systems designed specifically for Suffolk County weather conditions. This includes step flashing, continuous membrane barriers, and proper integration with your existing roofing materials.
Our installation process follows manufacturer specifications exactly, and we test every seal before considering the job complete. You get both the manufacturer’s warranty on materials and our guarantee on installation workmanship.
Most East Patchogue homeowners see 10-20% reductions in daytime lighting costs and noticeable heating savings during winter months. South-facing skylights provide the most energy benefits by capturing natural warmth.
The exact savings depend on your current lighting usage, room size, and skylight placement. Larger skylights in frequently used rooms typically provide the biggest impact on your monthly bills.
Beyond direct energy savings, skylights reduce wear on your HVAC system and light bulbs. Many homeowners also find they use their homes differently, spending more time in naturally lit spaces instead of running lights and fans in other rooms.
For East Patchogue homes, we typically recommend double-glazed skylights with Low-E coatings that handle both summer heat and winter cold efficiently. Venting skylights work well for bathrooms and kitchens where moisture control matters.
Fixed skylights are ideal for living areas where you want maximum light without the complexity of moving parts. They’re also more weather-resistant and energy-efficient than venting models.
The frame material matters too. Vinyl and fiberglass frames perform better than aluminum in Long Island’s climate, providing better insulation and less condensation during temperature swings.
Most single skylight installations take one full day, from roof work to interior finishing. Multiple skylights or complex roof configurations might require two days, especially if structural modifications are needed.
Weather affects scheduling since we can’t work safely on wet roofs. We monitor forecasts carefully and will reschedule if conditions aren’t safe for quality installation.
The actual roof opening and skylight installation usually takes 4-6 hours. Interior work, including drywall finishing and painting, adds another 2-4 hours depending on your ceiling height and finish requirements.
Yes, Suffolk County requires building permits for new skylight installations. The permit process typically takes 1-2 weeks, and we handle all paperwork and inspections as part of our service.
Permits ensure your installation meets local building codes for structural integrity, energy efficiency, and safety. This protects your investment and prevents issues if you sell your home later.
We’re familiar with East Patchogue’s specific requirements and have established relationships with local building departments. This helps streamline the permit process and avoid delays that can happen with less experienced contractors.
