Your Fire Island home deserves natural light that doesn’t come with water damage. When we install your skylight, you get rooms that feel twice as large, energy bills that shrink, and peace of mind that lasts decades.
No more relying on lamps during the day. No more stuffy rooms that never get fresh air. Just bright, comfortable spaces that make your home feel completely different.
The right skylight installation transforms how you experience your home. You wake up to natural light, save money on electricity, and add real value to your property—all without worrying about leaks down the road.
We specialize in exterior home improvements for Suffolk County homeowners who demand quality work done right the first time. We understand Fire Island’s unique challenges—salt air, coastal storms, and seasonal weather extremes—and install skylights that handle it all.
As full-service exterior specialists, we’ve built our reputation on leak-proof installations and straightforward communication. You won’t find us cutting corners or disappearing after the job.
Fire Island homeowners choose us because we show up when promised, use quality materials, and stand behind our work. That’s not revolutionary—it’s just how business should be done.
We start with a thorough assessment of your roof structure and the rooms you want to brighten. Every home is different, so we measure everything and explain exactly what’s involved before cutting any holes.
Installation day means precision work. We cut the roof opening, install proper flashing systems, and mount your skylight using techniques that prevent leaks for decades. Interior finishing comes next—drywall, trim, and paint that matches your existing space perfectly.
The final step is our comprehensive quality check. We test everything, clean up completely, and walk you through your new skylight’s operation. You get natural light that works and a roof that stays dry—exactly what you paid for.

Your skylight installation includes premium VELUX or comparable units specifically designed for Long Island’s weather patterns. We use proper flashing systems—not shortcuts—and seal everything with materials engineered for coastal conditions.
Fire Island’s salt air and seasonal storms demand installation techniques that many contractors skip. We install ice and water shield, step flashing, and proper drainage systems because cutting corners leads to expensive callbacks and water damage.
Energy-efficient models qualify for federal tax credits up to 26%, reducing your actual cost while improving your home’s performance. You get better insulation, reduced condensation, and skylights that enhance comfort instead of creating problems.
Skylight installation in Fire Island typically ranges from $1,500 to $4,500, depending on size, type, and roof complexity. Fixed skylights start around $1,500, while vented models with remote controls can reach $4,500 or more.
Your roof’s pitch, accessibility, and interior finishing requirements affect the final price. Steep roofs require additional safety measures. Complex interior work like vaulted ceiling modifications adds cost but creates dramatic results.
Most Fire Island homeowners find the investment worthwhile when they see how natural light transforms their space and reduces electric bills. Quality installation prevents costly water damage that cheap work often causes.
Properly installed skylights don’t leak. Period. The problem with most leaking skylights is poor installation—specifically inadequate flashing or shortcuts during the sealing process that save contractors time but cost you money later.
We use step flashing, ice and water shield, and proper drainage techniques specifically designed for Fire Island’s coastal conditions. Every installation includes multiple layers of protection because your home faces salt air, high winds, and temperature extremes.
Our installations include warranties on both materials and workmanship. If water gets in due to our installation work, we fix it at no charge. That’s confidence you can only get from contractors who do the job right.
Absolutely. We regularly install skylights in existing Fire Island homes, working with all roof types common to the area—asphalt shingles, cedar shakes, and metal roofing. Each requires specific techniques, but all can accommodate skylights when done correctly.
The process involves cutting precise openings in your roof and ceiling, then installing the skylight with proper flashing and interior finishing. We protect your home’s interior throughout the process and complete roof sealing the same day.
We assess your roof structure, check for electrical or plumbing conflicts, and ensure adequate support before starting. Proper planning prevents surprises and ensures your new skylight integrates seamlessly with your home’s existing systems.
Most single skylight installations take one full day, weather permitting. We start early, work efficiently, and complete everything—including cleanup—in a single day whenever possible.
Larger projects or multiple skylights may require two days, especially with extensive interior finishing. Complex installations involving structural modifications or electrical work for motorized skylights take longer but we’ll give you a realistic timeline upfront.
We protect your home’s interior with tarps and plastic sheeting throughout the process. The roof opening is sealed the same day it’s cut, so you never have overnight exposure to weather.
Fixed skylights provide natural light but don’t open. They’re less expensive, have fewer potential leak points, and work perfectly for spaces where ventilation isn’t critical—living rooms, hallways, or bedrooms where you just want more light.
Vented skylights open for fresh air circulation, making them ideal for kitchens, bathrooms, or any stuffy space that needs better airflow. They cost more due to the opening mechanism and require more complex installation to maintain weather-tight seals.
Both types can include rain sensors, remote controls, and integrated blinds. Vented models with solar-powered operation qualify for additional tax credits. The choice depends on your specific needs and how you use each space.
Yes, skylight installation requires building permits in Suffolk County. The permit process ensures your installation meets local building codes and wind load requirements specific to coastal areas like Fire Island.
We handle permit applications as part of our service—submitting plans, coordinating inspections, and ensuring everything meets Fire Island’s specific building requirements. This includes proper structural support and wind resistance calculations.
Proper permits protect you during insurance claims and future home sales. Unpermitted work creates problems that can cost thousands to resolve later. It’s worth doing everything by the book from the start.
