You’ve seen the horror stories. Water stains on ceilings, damaged drywall, thousands in repairs from leaking skylights. Here’s the thing most homeowners don’t realize until it’s too late: the skylight itself isn’t usually the problem.
It’s the installation. In Suffolk County’s harsh coastal weather, there’s zero margin for error. One improperly sealed flashing joint, one shortcut in the waterproofing process, and you’re dealing with water damage that costs more than the skylight itself.
When we install your skylights, you get natural light that transforms your space without the nightmare. Your dark hallways become welcoming. Your cramped kitchen feels twice as large. And you sleep soundly knowing your investment is protected by professionals who understand what Suffolk County weather can do to a roof.
SkyLuxe Construction has been serving Suffolk County homeowners who refuse to compromise on quality. We’re not the cheapest option in Greenport, and that’s exactly why you should choose us.
Cheap skylight installation in this market means corners cut on flashing, inferior sealants that fail in two years, and contractors who disappear when problems arise. We’ve built our reputation fixing the disasters left by bargain installers.
Every member of our team understands the unique challenges of installing skylights in coastal New York. We know how nor’easters test every seal, how temperature swings affect materials, and how to build installations that last decades, not years.
Our installation process starts with what most contractors skip: a thorough structural assessment. We examine your roof deck, check for proper ventilation, and identify potential problem areas before we cut a single hole.
Next comes precision cutting and framing. We don’t just hack through your roof and hope for the best. Every cut is measured twice, every frame is properly supported, and every penetration is sealed using commercial-grade materials designed for coastal environments.
The flashing installation is where we separate ourselves from everyone else. We use a multi-layer waterproofing system with premium underlayment, step flashing, and continuous sealant barriers. This isn’t the basic flashing kit that comes with big-box store skylights.
Finally, we test everything. We don’t just install and leave. We simulate heavy rain conditions, check for air leaks, and ensure your new skylight performs exactly as promised before we consider the job complete.

When you choose SkyLuxe Construction for your Greenport skylight installation, you’re getting VELUX skylights – the industry standard for quality and reliability. These aren’t the plastic dome skylights that yellow and crack. We’re talking about energy-efficient, tempered glass units with built-in condensation channels and premium weather seals.
Your installation includes our comprehensive waterproofing system designed specifically for Suffolk County’s coastal climate. We account for wind-driven rain, ice dam formation, and the thermal cycling that destroys inferior installations.
In Greenport’s high-value housing market, your skylight needs to enhance your home’s worth, not become a liability. Our installations use materials and techniques that add value rather than create future problems. When you eventually sell, buyers will see professional installation documentation, not red flags that kill deals.
Skylight installation costs in Greenport typically range from $1,500 to $4,000 per unit, depending on size, type, and installation complexity. Fixed skylights start around $1,500, while vented units with remote controls can reach $4,000 or more.
The wide price range reflects the difference between basic installation and professional work that lasts. Cheap installations often cost twice as much long-term when you factor in leak repairs, energy loss, and eventual replacement.
We provide detailed estimates that break down materials, labor, and warranty coverage. Most Greenport homeowners find our pricing competitive when they compare true professional installation rather than basic contractor work.
Professional skylight installation, when done correctly, actually strengthens your roof structure around the opening. We add proper framing, improve insulation, and create multiple waterproof barriers that often exceed the original roof’s weather resistance.
The key is working with contractors who understand structural requirements. We never just cut holes and hope for the best. Every installation includes engineered framing that distributes loads properly and prevents sagging or structural weakness.
Amateur installations absolutely can damage your roof through improper cutting, inadequate support, or poor weatherproofing. That’s why we carry comprehensive insurance and provide written warranties on both materials and workmanship.
Leak prevention starts with understanding that Suffolk County’s coastal climate is harder on skylights than inland areas. We deal with wind-driven rain, ice dams, and temperature swings that test every seal.
Our waterproofing system uses multiple redundant barriers. We install premium ice and water shield underlayment, step flashing integrated with your existing roof system, and continuous sealant barriers that flex with thermal movement. Most importantly, we properly integrate the skylight flashing with your roof’s existing water management system.
We also address condensation issues that cause interior “leaks” even when the skylight itself is watertight. Proper insulation, vapor barriers, and ventilation prevent the moisture problems that many homeowners mistake for actual leaks.
Yes, we specialize in retrofitting skylights into existing Greenport homes with minimal disruption to your living space. Most installations can be completed in one to two days, depending on complexity and weather conditions.
The process involves cutting through your roof deck and ceiling, but we use dust containment systems and protective coverings to minimize mess inside your home. We coordinate the exterior and interior work to keep your home weather-tight throughout the installation.
For homes with cathedral ceilings or complex roof structures, we may need additional time for proper framing and finishing work. We always provide realistic timelines during our initial assessment and keep you informed of any changes as work progresses.
Fixed skylights provide natural light only and are typically less expensive, starting around $1,500 installed. They’re ideal for areas where you want illumination but don’t need ventilation, like hallways or living rooms with existing HVAC systems.
Vented skylights can open for fresh air circulation and are perfect for bathrooms, kitchens, or any space where humidity control matters. They start around $2,500 installed and can include remote controls, rain sensors, and automatic operation features.
For Greenport’s coastal humidity, vented skylights often provide better long-term performance by allowing moisture to escape naturally. This reduces condensation issues and helps maintain healthier indoor air quality, especially during humid summer months.
Quality skylights professionally installed in Suffolk County typically last 20-30 years with minimal maintenance. VELUX skylights, which we exclusively install, often exceed these timeframes when properly maintained.
The coastal environment does present challenges – salt air, temperature swings, and severe weather – but proper installation and quality materials address these issues. We use marine-grade sealants, corrosion-resistant flashing, and tempered glass designed for harsh conditions.
Regular maintenance extends skylight life significantly. We recommend annual inspections to check seals, clean condensation channels, and ensure flashing remains intact. Most maintenance is simple and can prevent minor issues from becoming major problems.
