You’ll notice the difference immediately. Rooms that used to need lights all day now stay bright naturally. Your monthly energy costs drop as you rely less on artificial lighting during daylight hours.
The real savings add up over time. Energy Star certified skylights reduce heating and cooling costs by an average of 13% nationwide. That’s money back in your pocket every month, year after year.
But it’s more than just savings. Natural light improves your mood, helps regulate sleep patterns, and creates a more comfortable living environment. Your home feels bigger, brighter, and more welcoming to family and guests alike.
SkyLuxe Construction isn’t just another contractor. We’re a family business built on decades of exterior renovation experience right here in Suffolk County.
We know Fort Salonga homes. We understand how Long Island weather affects roofing systems and what it takes to install skylights that won’t leak or fail. Our team has worked on everything from historic homes in Huntington to modern builds in Smithtown.
Every skylight installation gets personal oversight from our experienced crew. We combine old-school craftsmanship with modern materials and techniques because your home deserves both quality and innovation.
First, we inspect your roof structure and determine the best skylight placement for maximum light and energy efficiency. We measure everything twice and check for any structural considerations that might affect the installation.
Next, we carefully cut the roof opening and install proper flashing systems. This is where most contractors cut corners, but we don’t. Proper flashing prevents leaks and ensures your skylight performs for decades.
Finally, we install the skylight unit, seal everything properly, and complete any interior finishing work. We clean up completely and walk you through your new skylight’s features and maintenance requirements.

Every skylight installation includes professional-grade flashing systems designed for Long Island’s weather patterns. We use materials that handle everything from summer storms to winter freeze-thaw cycles.
You get energy-efficient glazing options including Low-E coatings and insulated glass. These features block harmful UV rays while maximizing natural light transmission. Your furniture won’t fade and your cooling costs stay manageable.
Fort Salonga homes face unique challenges with coastal weather and varying roof styles. We stock skylights specifically rated for high-wind zones and salt air exposure. Your installation comes with manufacturer warranties plus our guarantee on workmanship and leak-free performance.
Skylight installation costs in Suffolk County typically range from $1,060 to $5,303, depending on the size, type, and complexity of the installation. A basic fixed skylight installation usually costs less than a vented or solar-powered unit.
The total cost includes the skylight unit itself ($500-$2,500), professional installation labor ($500-$1,500), and any necessary structural modifications. Installing during a roof replacement saves money since we’re already accessing the roof structure.
We provide detailed written estimates that break down all costs upfront. No surprises, no hidden fees. Most Fort Salonga homeowners find the energy savings pay for the installation within 5-7 years through reduced electricity bills.
Properly installed skylights don’t leak. Period. The problem with most leaking skylights comes from poor installation, not the skylight itself.
We use professional flashing systems specifically designed for your roof type and pitch. Our installation process includes multiple waterproof barriers and proper integration with your existing roofing materials. We’ve been installing leak-free skylights in Suffolk County for decades.
Every installation comes with our leak-free guarantee. If water gets in due to our workmanship, we fix it at no cost to you. We stand behind our work because we do it right the first time.
Long Island homes need skylights rated for high winds and salt air exposure. We recommend fixed skylights with Low-E glazing for maximum energy efficiency and weather resistance.
For areas like kitchens and bathrooms, vented skylights provide natural ventilation while handling coastal humidity. Solar-powered venting skylights offer convenience without electrical work, and they qualify for federal tax credits.
Tubular skylights work well for smaller spaces like hallways or closets. They bring in natural light through reflective tubes and create less impact on your roof structure. We’ll recommend the best option based on your specific room and roof configuration.
Most skylight installations take one full day from start to finish. Simple installations on accessible roofs can be completed in 4-6 hours, while complex installations involving structural modifications may take up to two days.
Weather affects timing since we can’t install skylights during rain or high winds. We monitor forecasts carefully and schedule installations during optimal conditions to ensure proper sealing and curing.
We complete all interior finishing work as part of the installation. You won’t need to hire additional contractors for drywall or painting touch-ups. When we’re done, your new skylight is ready to use immediately.
Yes, when installed properly. Energy Star certified skylights reduce heating and cooling costs by an average of 13% nationwide. The natural light reduces your need for artificial lighting during daylight hours, cutting electricity usage.
In winter, south-facing skylights provide passive solar heating that reduces furnace usage. In summer, proper placement and Low-E glazing prevent excessive heat gain while maintaining natural light.
Fort Salonga homeowners typically see $200-$400 annual savings on energy bills. Over a skylight’s 20+ year lifespan, the energy savings often exceed the initial installation cost. Plus, you get the comfort and health benefits of natural light every day.
We install skylights on most roof types including asphalt shingle, metal, slate, and tile roofs. Each material requires specific flashing techniques and installation methods to ensure proper waterproofing.
Roof pitch affects skylight placement and performance. Steeper roofs provide better water runoff but may require different mounting systems. Flat or low-slope roofs need specialized curb-mounted skylights for proper drainage.
We evaluate your specific roof structure, age, and condition before recommending skylight options. Sometimes roof repairs or reinforcement are needed before installation. We’ll explain everything upfront so you can make informed decisions about your project.
