You know that room in your house that always feels dark, even during the day. The one where you’re constantly flipping light switches and watching your electric bill climb. A properly installed skylight changes everything.
Natural light floods in where you need it most. Your morning coffee tastes better when you’re not squinting under harsh ceiling lights. Evening meals feel warmer when sunlight streams across your table.
But here’s what matters most: when we install your skylight, it stays dry. No mysterious water stains appearing on your ceiling six months later. No emergency calls during Suffolk County’s next nor’easter. Just consistent, beautiful light that works the way it should.
SkyLuxe Construction isn’t just another contractor. We’re a family business that’s been perfecting exterior renovations in Suffolk County for decades, with our team living and working right here in your community.
What makes us different? We understand how Long Island weather tests every roof, every seal, every piece of flashing. When winter storms roll through Greenlawn, we know exactly what your skylight needs to withstand ice dams and driving rain.
Our certified technicians combine old-school craftsmanship with modern installation techniques. Every skylight gets personal oversight from start to finish because our reputation travels fast in communities like ours.
First, we assess your space and roof structure during a free consultation. Not every location works for every type of skylight, so we identify the best spots that maximize light while maintaining your roof’s integrity and matching your home’s architecture.
Next comes precise measurement and material selection. We work exclusively with premium brands like Velux because quality materials matter when you’re cutting into someone’s roof. Cheap skylights become expensive problems within a few years.
Installation day showcases our decades of experience. We protect your home’s interior, cut the opening with surgical precision, and install professional-grade flashing systems that actually prevent leaks. Most residential skylight installations complete in a single day.
Final inspection ensures everything meets our standards and yours. We walk through the completed work, explain simple maintenance basics, and guarantee you’re completely satisfied before we leave your property.

Every skylight installation includes professional-grade flashing systems specifically designed for Long Island’s challenging climate. We don’t use generic materials that work “most places.” Suffolk County gets hit with everything from hurricanes to ice storms, so your skylight flashing needs to handle it all.
You’ll get energy-efficient glass that actually reduces heat transfer during Greenlawn’s humid summers and bitter winter nights. Proper glazing means your HVAC system doesn’t work overtime, and you’ll notice the difference in your monthly utility bills.
We also handle all interior finishing work. Your new skylight gets properly trimmed and sealed so it looks like it was always part of your home’s original design. No exposed rough edges, no obvious patch jobs, no shortcuts that show up later.
Most importantly, everything comes with our leak-free guarantee. If water gets through our installation, we return immediately to fix it at no charge.
Skylight installation in the Greenlawn area typically ranges from $1,500 to $4,500, depending on size, type, and installation complexity. Fixed skylights cost less than vented models, and straightforward installations are more affordable than projects requiring structural modifications or custom interior work.
The total includes the skylight unit, professional installation, premium flashing materials, and interior finishing. We provide detailed written estimates that break down every cost so you know exactly what you’re paying for before we start.
Factors that affect pricing include roof pitch, accessibility, skylight dimensions, and whether you choose standard features or premium options like remote controls, rain sensors, or motorized blinds.
For Suffolk County homes, we typically recommend either fixed skylights for maximum light or vented skylights for spaces needing ventilation. Fixed units are perfect for living rooms and hallways where you want consistent natural light without airflow concerns.
Vented skylights work exceptionally well in kitchens and bathrooms where moisture control matters. They can be manual or electric, with electric models offering rain sensors that automatically close when Long Island storms hit.
We also install tubular skylights for smaller spaces like closets, pantries, or interior bathrooms. These channel sunlight through reflective tubes and work well where traditional skylights won’t fit or where roof structure limits options.
Proper flashing installation is everything. We use step flashing that integrates seamlessly with your existing roof system, not generic flashing that simply sits on top. This creates multiple water barriers that redirect moisture away from the opening during heavy rains.
We also install ice and water shield around the entire skylight perimeter. Long Island winters create ice dams regularly, and this extra protection prevents water from backing up under shingles during freeze-thaw cycles that damage poorly protected installations.
Quality sealants designed for our climate’s temperature swings and UV exposure complete the weatherproofing system. Professional-grade materials maintain flexibility for decades, unlike cheap caulk that fails within a few years and causes expensive leak repairs.
Most roof types can accommodate skylights, but installation methods vary significantly. Asphalt shingle roofs are straightforward, while tile, slate, or cedar shake requires specialized techniques to maintain the roof’s integrity and appearance.
Roof pitch matters more than material type. Very low-slope roofs need different flashing systems and drainage considerations than steep roofs. We assess your specific situation and recommend skylight types that work with your roof’s design rather than forcing incompatible solutions.
Metal roofs, cedar shakes, and even modified bitumen flat roofs can get skylights with proper planning and technique. The key is matching installation methods to your roof’s unique characteristics rather than using one-size-fits-all approaches that create problems later.
Most residential skylight installations complete in one day. Simple fixed skylights on accessible roofs often finish in 4-6 hours, while complex installations with extensive interior finishing work might require a full day.
Weather affects timing since we can’t install during rain, high winds, or when ice makes roof work dangerous. We monitor forecasts closely and schedule installations during stable weather windows to ensure proper sealing and safety.
Multiple skylights or installations requiring structural modifications take longer. We provide realistic timelines during your free estimate and keep you updated throughout the process if weather conditions change our schedule.
Yes, when properly installed and positioned. South-facing skylights provide maximum winter heating benefits by capturing low-angle sunlight, while north-facing units offer consistent light without excessive summer heat gain that overworks your air conditioning.
Energy-efficient glazing makes a significant difference in Long Island’s climate. Double or triple-pane glass with Low-E coatings reduces heat transfer in both directions, keeping your home comfortable year-round while reducing HVAC workload.
Proper installation technique also affects efficiency dramatically. Air leaks around poorly installed skylights waste more energy than the natural light saves. Our sealed installations ensure you get all the benefits without energy penalties that cheap installations create.
