Your home deserves better than dark hallways and sky-high electric bills. When we install your new skylight, you get immediate transformation – rooms that were once dim and uninviting become bright, airy spaces your family actually wants to spend time in.
But here’s what really matters: you’ll see the difference on your energy bills too. With Suffolk County electric bills averaging $300 monthly, reducing your dependence on artificial lighting adds up fast. Plus, you get the health benefits that come with natural daylight – better mood, better sleep, better productivity.
Most importantly, you get peace of mind. Our installations come with a leak-free guarantee because we understand what’s at stake in your Head of the Harbor home.
We’ve been serving Head of the Harbor and surrounding Suffolk County communities as a full-service exterior home improvement specialist. We focus exclusively on residential work, which means we understand exactly what homeowners in this area need.
Your 3,600+ square foot homes on multi-acre properties present unique challenges – large interior spaces that don’t get natural light, luxury finishes that need protection during installation, and the expectation of quality workmanship that matches your investment.
We’re not the cheapest option, and that’s intentional. You’re investing in professional installation, premium materials, and the kind of service that protects your property value.
We start with a thorough roof inspection to determine the best placement for maximum light and structural integrity. Our team evaluates your roof structure and designs the optimal skylight solution for your specific home.
Next comes precise installation. We handle everything from cutting the opening to framing, flashing, and sealing. Every skylight is installed with precision, and we don’t consider the job complete until it’s leak-proof and interior finishes are cleaned.
The final step is your walkthrough. We show you how everything works, explain maintenance requirements, and provide you with warranty documentation. You’ll know exactly what to expect from your new skylight for years to come.

Your skylight installation includes premium materials designed for Long Island’s climate conditions. We use VELUX skylights, including solar-powered “Fresh Air” options that meet ENERGY STAR guidelines for maximum efficiency.
Professional flashing installation is critical here in Suffolk County. Most skylight leaks aren’t flashing problems – they’re skylight failures, which is why we use only proven, high-quality units. Our installation includes proper ice and water shield, step flashing, and weatherproofing designed to handle everything from nor’easters to summer heat.
Advanced features are available including blinds, remote controls, and automatic rain sensors that close your skylight when weather hits. For Head of the Harbor homes, these aren’t just conveniences – they’re practical features that protect your investment and enhance your daily comfort.
Skylight installation costs vary based on type, size, brand, and roof complexity. For Head of the Harbor homes, expect to invest anywhere from $1,500 to $4,000+ per skylight depending on features and installation requirements.
The total project cost is typically 3-4 times the skylight unit price when you factor in materials, labor, interior work, and proper weatherproofing. This isn’t a corner-cutting situation – proper installation protects your home and prevents costly water damage down the road.
We provide detailed estimates that break down exactly what you’re getting, so there are no surprises. The investment pays for itself through energy savings and increased home value.
Not if it’s installed correctly with quality materials. The biggest misconception is that skylights just need new flashing – actually, 3 out of 4 skylight leaks are caused by skylight failure, not flashing issues.
That’s why we use premium skylights designed for longevity, not cheap units that fail within a few years. We’re so confident in our installation process that we offer a leak-free guarantee. Our comprehensive approach includes proper structural assessment, quality materials, and installation techniques proven to work in Suffolk County’s climate.
Most leaks happen because flashing is damaged, corroded, or improperly installed. We eliminate those variables through professional installation and premium materials.
Most residential skylight installations take 1-2 days depending on roof complexity and interior finishing requirements. We work efficiently to minimize disruption to your daily routine.
Day one typically involves roof work – cutting the opening, framing, installing the skylight, and weatherproofing. Day two handles interior finishing, drywall work, and final details. Weather can affect timing, but we’ll communicate any delays immediately.
We don’t consider the job complete until interior finishes are cleaned and polished, and we always clean up thoroughly each day. Your home should look better than when we arrived, except for the beautiful new natural light.
Yes, skylight installation typically requires building permits in Suffolk County, and we handle the permit process for you. Skylight installation is required by building codes in many New York areas, especially for interior spaces that lack natural light.
The permit process involves submitting installation plans, structural calculations, and ensuring compliance with local building codes. This protects you by ensuring the work meets safety standards and won’t cause issues during future home sales or insurance claims.
We’re familiar with Suffolk County building requirements and work with local inspectors regularly. The permit cost is typically included in your project estimate, and we coordinate all inspections so you don’t have to manage the bureaucracy.
Fixed skylights provide natural light only, while vented skylights can open for airflow and ventilation. Fixed skylights are excellent for hallways or areas where you need light but not ventilation, while vented options are ideal for kitchens and bathrooms where moisture can accumulate.
For Head of the Harbor homes, vented skylights often make sense in master bathrooms, kitchen areas, or anywhere you want to reduce humidity naturally. They improve air circulation and help reduce cooking odors and moisture buildup.
Modern vented skylights include features like automatic rain sensors that close the skylight when weather hits, so you don’t have to worry about forgetting to close them before storms. The choice depends on your specific room needs and preferences.
Absolutely, especially with Suffolk County’s high electricity costs. With average electric bills of $300 monthly ($3,600 annually) – 25% higher than the national average – energy-efficient skylights pay for themselves through reduced lighting costs.
ENERGY STAR certified skylights provide superior insulation and efficiency, which means less heat loss in winter and reduced cooling costs in summer. Advanced technology provides UV protection and energy savings that protect your furnishings while reducing utility bills.
The upfront investment difference is typically $200-500 per skylight, but the long-term savings in energy costs, plus increased home value, make energy-efficient options the smart choice for Head of the Harbor properties. You’re not just buying a skylight – you’re investing in long-term comfort and efficiency.
