Not when installed properly by experienced professionals. Most skylight leaks aren’t actually from the skylight itself – they’re caused by improper flashing installation or poor roof integration around the opening.
We use premium flashing systems and advanced weatherproofing techniques specifically designed for Long Island’s weather extremes. Every installation includes multiple layers of protection against water intrusion, from the initial roof preparation through final sealing.
Our installations come with comprehensive leak-free warranties because we’re confident in our methods. We’ve been installing skylights in Suffolk County for decades and understand exactly what it takes to keep them watertight through nor’easters, summer storms, and freeze-thaw cycles.
The best skylight depends on your specific room and goals. Fixed skylights work well for spaces needing maximum light without ventilation, like hallways or living rooms. Venting skylights are ideal for kitchens and bathrooms where moisture control matters.
For East Shoreham’s climate, we often recommend energy-efficient models with low-E coatings that provide excellent insulation. These help with both summer cooling costs and winter heat retention. Solar-powered venting models are increasingly popular for their convenience and energy savings.
We’ll assess your home’s orientation, room usage, and energy efficiency goals to recommend the perfect skylight type and placement. Our experience with local homes means we know what works best for different architectural styles and roof configurations common in the area.
Most residential skylight installations are completed in one day. Simple installations in accessible locations often take 4-6 hours, while more complex installations requiring structural modifications may take a full day.
The timeline depends on factors like roof accessibility, whether structural changes are needed, and interior finishing requirements. We’ll give you an accurate timeframe during our initial assessment and keep you informed throughout the process.
We work efficiently to minimize disruption to your daily routine. Our team arrives prepared with all materials and tools needed, completes the work systematically, and thoroughly cleans up before leaving. You’ll be enjoying natural light in your newly transformed space by evening.
Yes, properly installed energy-efficient skylights provide measurable savings on electricity costs. A single well-placed skylight can reduce your annual electric bill by $50-200 by eliminating the need for daytime artificial lighting in that space.
The savings come from natural light that’s equivalent to multiple 100-watt bulbs, plus passive heating benefits in winter and natural ventilation in summer with venting models. ENERGY STAR certified skylights can reduce overall heating and cooling costs by up to 13%.
Beyond direct energy savings, skylights increase your home’s value and may qualify for federal tax credits. The combination of immediate utility savings, long-term property value increase, and potential tax benefits makes skylight installation a smart financial investment for most East Shoreham homeowners.
We successfully install skylights on most roof types common in East Shoreham, including asphalt shingle, metal, slate, and tile roofs. Each material requires specific installation techniques and flashing systems, which our experienced team handles expertly.
Roof pitch, age, and structural considerations all factor into the installation approach. Steeper roofs may require additional safety measures, while older roofs might need reinforcement. We assess these factors during our initial evaluation to ensure proper installation.
