Your home transforms the moment natural light floods those dark spaces. Hallways feel wider. Bathrooms become spa-like retreats. Kitchen work becomes easier on the eyes.
Here’s what really matters: your electric bill drops. Those lights you flipped on during the day? You won’t need them anymore. Your HVAC system works less when vented skylights naturally release trapped hot air.
Most importantly, you sleep well knowing your skylight won’t leak. No water stains creeping across your ceiling. No emergency calls during storms. Just reliable, beautiful natural light that works exactly as promised.
We’ve been solving exterior problems for Suffolk County families for decades. We’re not the new guys trying to figure things out on your roof.
Our team knows exactly how Long Island weather tests every seal, every flashing detail, every connection point. We’ve seen what happens when skylights get installed by contractors who don’t understand our climate. That’s why we only use proven systems that actually work here.
When you call us, you’re getting a family business that treats your home like our own. Every skylight installation gets personal oversight because our reputation lives and dies on your satisfaction.
We start with a thorough roof assessment to determine the best skylight placement for your specific home. Our team examines your roof structure, considers sun angles, and discusses your lighting goals.
Next comes the precision work. We cut the roof opening with surgical accuracy, install proper framing, and integrate advanced flashing systems. Every step follows VELUX certification standards to prevent the leaks that plague amateur installations.
Finally, we complete the interior finishing and conduct a comprehensive inspection. You’ll see exactly how your new skylight performs before we consider the job done. No surprises, no callbacks, no problems down the road.

Every skylight installation includes professional-grade VELUX skylights designed specifically for Long Island’s weather patterns. These aren’t the plastic dome skylights that crack and leak after a few seasons.
Your installation features the VELUX No-Leak System with three layers of protection: advanced flashing, specialized underlayment, and weatherproof sealing. This system is engineered for our climate’s freeze-thaw cycles and storm conditions.
Great River homeowners particularly benefit from south-facing skylight placement, which captures maximum winter warmth while east-facing installations provide gentle morning light perfect for kitchens and bathrooms. Our local expertise ensures your skylight placement maximizes both light and energy efficiency for your specific property.
Skylight installation in Great River typically ranges from $1,500 to $4,500, depending on the skylight type, roof complexity, and finishing requirements. Fixed skylights are the most affordable option, while vented skylights with remote controls cost more but offer superior ventilation benefits.
The total cost includes the VELUX skylight unit, professional installation, proper flashing, and interior finishing work. Factors affecting pricing include your roof material, pitch, and accessibility. We provide detailed written estimates that break down every cost so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
Most Great River homeowners find the energy savings and increased home value justify the investment within a few years. We also offer financing options to make professional installation more accessible.
Not when installed properly with professional-grade materials and techniques. The biggest skylight problems come from improper installation, not the skylights themselves. That’s why we use the VELUX No-Leak System with three layers of protection.
Our installation process includes advanced flashing that integrates seamlessly with your existing roof, specialized adhesive underlayment, and weatherproof sealing techniques. These components work together to handle Long Island’s freeze-thaw cycles, heavy rains, and wind-driven moisture.
We back every installation with a comprehensive warranty and have decades of experience with Suffolk County weather patterns. Our skylights are designed to last 15-20 years without leaking when properly installed and maintained.
Absolutely. We regularly install skylights on existing roofs throughout Great River. The key is proper assessment and precision installation to maintain your roof’s structural integrity and weatherproofing.
Our team carefully evaluates your current roof condition, material type, and structural support before recommending the best skylight placement. We can work with asphalt shingles, metal roofing, and other common Long Island roofing materials.
While it’s most cost-effective to install skylights during a roof replacement, we’ve perfected techniques for adding skylights to existing roofs without compromising performance. The installation typically takes one to two days, and we handle everything from cutting the opening to completing interior finishes.
Fixed skylights provide maximum natural light at the lowest cost but don’t open for ventilation. They’re perfect for spaces where you want consistent light without needing airflow, like hallways, stairwells, or living rooms.
Vented skylights can open to allow fresh air circulation, making them ideal for kitchens, bathrooms, and other areas where moisture or odors need to escape. They’re particularly valuable in Great River’s humid summers when natural ventilation helps reduce cooling costs.
We also offer solar-powered vented skylights that automatically open and close based on temperature and weather conditions. These premium options provide the ultimate convenience and energy efficiency, though they do require a higher initial investment.
Proper maintenance is straightforward and essential for long-term performance. We recommend professional inspection and cleaning at least twice yearly, particularly after Long Island’s harsh winter and storm seasons.
Regular maintenance includes checking all seals and gaskets, cleaning the glass surface with appropriate cleaners (never use ammonia-based products on polycarbonate skylights), and ensuring drainage channels remain clear. Most skylights use tempered glass or specialized materials that require specific care techniques.
We provide detailed maintenance guidelines with every installation and offer ongoing service to keep your skylights performing optimally. Simple preventive care extends skylight life significantly and prevents the costly problems that develop when maintenance gets neglected.
We’re a family-owned Suffolk County business with decades of exterior renovation experience, which means we understand exactly how Long Island weather affects skylight performance. Unlike general contractors who occasionally install skylights, this is core expertise for us.
Our installations use only professional-grade VELUX systems with comprehensive leak protection, and we back every job with solid warranties. We handle the entire process from initial assessment through final inspection, so you work with one trusted team throughout.
Most importantly, we treat every installation like it’s going in our own home. Our reputation depends on your satisfaction, which is why we maintain an A+ Better Business Bureau rating and earn most of our business through referrals from satisfied Great River homeowners.
