You’ll notice the difference immediately. Rooms that felt cramped and dark suddenly feel spacious and welcoming. Your electric bills drop because you’re using natural light instead of artificial lighting during the day.
The real payoff comes during winter months when properly positioned skylights capture solar heat, reducing your heating costs. And unlike those cheap installations that leak within two years, our professional flashing systems keep water where it belongs—outside your home.
Your property value increases too. Buyers in Suffolk County pay premium prices for homes with quality skylights that actually work.
We have been installing leak-free skylights throughout Suffolk County for years. We understand East Setauket’s weather patterns—from harsh winter storms to humid summers—and design every installation to handle what Mother Nature throws at it.
We’re not the cheapest option, and that’s intentional. You’re investing in Velux-certified installation techniques, premium flashing systems, and materials that won’t fail when the next storm hits.
Our team is fully licensed and insured, because professional work requires professional credentials. When we complete your skylight installation, it’s backed by comprehensive warranties that actually mean something.
First, we assess your roof structure and positioning needs. Not every spot works for skylights, and we’ll tell you honestly what will and won’t deliver the results you want.
Next comes the precision work. We cut the opening, install the skylight unit, and create a multi-layer flashing system that prevents leaks for decades. This isn’t a one-day rush job—proper installation takes time to do correctly.
Finally, we handle the interior finishing work, ensuring your new skylight integrates seamlessly with your home’s existing architecture. You get natural light that transforms your space without the headaches that come with poor installation.

Every skylight installation includes professional-grade flashing systems designed for Suffolk County’s weather conditions. We use materials that handle temperature fluctuations, heavy rain, and snow loads without compromising the seal.
You get strategic positioning consultation to maximize natural light while minimizing heat gain during summer months. East Setauket homes benefit from specific orientation angles that capture morning light without creating afternoon glare.
Interior finishing work is included—no surprise charges for drywall repair, trim work, or paint touch-ups. Your skylight installation looks like it was always part of your home’s original design.
Skylight installation costs in East Setauket typically range from $1,000 to $4,000 depending on size, type, and roof complexity. The skylight unit itself costs $500 to $2,500, while professional installation adds $500 to $1,500.
Higher-end features like solar operation, venting capabilities, or complex roof modifications increase the total investment. However, energy-efficient skylights often qualify for tax credits that offset installation costs.
We provide detailed, transparent estimates that break down all costs upfront. No surprise charges, no hidden fees—just honest pricing for professional work that lasts.
Not when installed correctly with professional flashing systems. Skylight leaks are almost always caused by poor installation, not the skylight itself. We use multi-layer flashing techniques that create redundant water barriers around your skylight.
Our installation process includes step flashing, continuous flashing, and proper integration with your existing roof membrane. This system channels water away from the skylight opening even during Suffolk County’s heaviest storms.
We guarantee leak-free performance because we use proven installation methods that work. If water gets in, we fix it at no charge—that’s how confident we are in our workmanship.
Yes, we specialize in retrofitting skylights into existing roofs with minimal disruption to your home. The process requires careful planning and precision cutting, but it doesn’t require tearing off large sections of roofing.
We start by locating roof rafters and planning the opening size to minimize structural modifications. Most installations require cutting through shingles, decking, and creating the rough opening, but the surrounding roof structure remains intact.
Interior work is contained to the immediate skylight area. We protect your furniture and flooring, complete the installation efficiently, and clean up thoroughly when finished.
Most single skylight installations take one to two days to complete properly. Day one involves roof work—cutting the opening, installing the skylight unit, and completing the weatherproofing. Day two handles interior finishing work.
Complex installations or multiple skylights may require additional time. We never rush the critical flashing work because that’s what prevents leaks for decades. Weather conditions can also affect timing, as we won’t compromise quality for speed.
We provide realistic timelines upfront and keep you informed of progress throughout the project. You’ll know exactly when to expect completion before we start work.
Yes, skylight installations typically require building permits in Suffolk County. The permit process ensures your installation meets local building codes and safety requirements. We handle all permit applications as part of our service.
Permit requirements cover structural modifications, electrical work for motorized skylights, and compliance with energy efficiency standards. The approval process usually takes one to two weeks depending on local building department schedules.
We include permit costs in our project estimates and coordinate all inspections required for approval. You don’t need to navigate the bureaucracy—we handle the paperwork so you can focus on enjoying your new skylight.
Fixed skylights work best for most East Setauket homes because they provide maximum energy efficiency and weather resistance. Venting skylights add ventilation benefits but require more maintenance and have more potential leak points.
For Suffolk County’s climate, double-glazed skylights with Low-E coatings provide the best year-round performance. They capture winter solar heat while blocking excessive summer heat gain. Tubular skylights work well for smaller spaces like hallways and bathrooms.
We evaluate your specific needs, roof orientation, and room usage to recommend the optimal skylight type. The right choice depends on your goals—maximum light, energy efficiency, ventilation, or a combination of benefits.
