You know those rooms in your home that feel dim and unwelcoming? The bathroom where you always need the light on. The hallway that feels cramped. The kitchen that never gets enough natural light during the day.
A properly installed skylight changes everything. Suddenly, you’re using less electricity because natural light does the work. Your spaces feel larger, more open, more alive. You wake up to sunlight streaming in naturally instead of reaching for the light switch.
The difference isn’t just about brightness—it’s about how your home feels. When natural light fills a space, it transforms the entire atmosphere. Your energy bills drop. Your mood improves. Your home feels like the place you actually want to be.
We’ve been serving Huntington Bay and Suffolk County homeowners for decades. We’re not just another contractor—we’re your neighbors who understand exactly what Suffolk County weather does to roofs and skylights.
Our team knows the local building codes, the seasonal challenges, and what it takes to install a skylight that won’t leak when the next storm hits. We’ve seen too many homeowners deal with water damage from poorly installed skylights, which is why we guarantee our work.
When you work with us, you’re working with a family-owned business that’s built its reputation one satisfied customer at a time. We show up when we say we will, clean up after ourselves, and stand behind every installation with comprehensive warranties.
First, we come to your home and assess the space. We’ll look at your roof structure, discuss placement options, and help you choose the right skylight for your specific needs and budget. No pressure, just honest recommendations.
Once you’re ready to move forward, we handle all the permits and scheduling. Our certified installers cut the opening with precision, install proper flashing and waterproofing, and mount your new skylight using techniques that prevent leaks. We pay special attention to Suffolk County’s weather patterns and your roof’s specific requirements.
After installation, we test everything thoroughly and walk you through the operation if you’ve chosen a vented model. We clean up completely—you won’t even know we were there except for the beautiful natural light now filling your space. Then we provide you with warranty information and our contact details for any future questions.

Every skylight installation includes professional-grade flashing, proper insulation, and weatherproofing designed specifically for Long Island’s climate. We use premium materials from trusted manufacturers like Velux, known for their durability and performance in our region.
You’ll receive a comprehensive warranty covering both materials and workmanship. Our installations meet all local building codes and include proper permits. We also provide detailed care instructions and maintenance recommendations to keep your skylight performing perfectly for years to come.
For Huntington Bay homeowners, we understand the unique challenges of coastal weather and seasonal temperature changes. Our installations account for expansion and contraction, wind resistance, and the salt air that can affect materials over time. This local knowledge makes the difference between a skylight that lasts and one that becomes a problem.
Skylight installation costs in Huntington Bay typically range from $1,500 to $4,500, depending on the size, type, and complexity of your roof. Fixed skylights are the most affordable option, while vented or solar-powered models cost more but offer additional benefits.
The final price depends on factors like your roof’s pitch, the materials used, whether we need to build a light shaft through an attic, and any electrical work for motorized models. We provide detailed, written estimates that break down all costs upfront—no surprises or hidden fees.
Most homeowners find that the energy savings from reduced electricity usage help offset the initial investment over time. We also offer financing options to make your skylight installation more affordable.
When installed properly by experienced professionals, modern skylights shouldn’t leak. The key is proper flashing installation and understanding how water moves around roof penetrations during heavy rain and snow.
We use advanced flashing techniques and premium sealants designed for Long Island’s weather conditions. Our installations include multiple layers of water protection and are tested thoroughly before we consider the job complete. We’ve been installing skylights in Suffolk County for decades and understand exactly how to prevent the leaking issues that plague poorly installed units.
That’s why we back every installation with a comprehensive warranty. If you ever experience a leak related to our installation, we’ll return and fix it at no cost to you.
Most rooms can accommodate a skylight, but the best locations depend on your roof structure, the room’s layout, and your goals for the space. South-facing skylights provide the most natural light, while north-facing ones offer gentler, more consistent illumination.
If there’s an attic above the room, we’ll need to build a light shaft to channel the light down. This adds to the project cost but creates a beautiful, finished look. For rooms directly under the roof, installation is more straightforward.
We’ll assess your specific situation during our consultation and recommend the best placement for maximum light, energy efficiency, and aesthetic appeal. Some locations work better than others, and we’ll be honest about what will and won’t work well in your home.
Most skylight installations take one to two days, depending on the complexity. A straightforward installation on a simple roof with direct access typically takes one full day. More complex installations requiring light shafts, electrical work, or challenging roof access may take two days.
We always protect your home during installation with tarps and temporary coverings. If weather threatens, we can secure the opening quickly and return when conditions improve. We never leave your home exposed to the elements.
The timeline also depends on permit approval, which we handle for you. Once permits are in hand and materials arrive, we typically schedule installation within one to two weeks. We’ll give you a specific timeline when we provide your estimate.
Fixed skylights don’t open—they’re designed purely to bring in natural light. They’re the most affordable option and work great for spaces like living rooms, hallways, or bedrooms where you primarily want more light.
Vented skylights can open to provide both light and fresh air circulation. They’re perfect for bathrooms, kitchens, or any space where you want to remove moisture, cooking odors, or stale air. You can get manual models that you open with a pole, or electric models that operate with a switch or remote control.
Electric models often include rain sensors that automatically close the skylight if it starts raining. For Huntington Bay’s unpredictable weather, this feature provides peace of mind if you’re away from home when storms roll in.
Yes, skylight installation typically requires building permits in Huntington Bay and throughout Suffolk County. The permit process ensures your installation meets local building codes and safety requirements.
We handle all permit applications for you as part of our service. We know exactly what documentation is required, which inspections are needed, and how to navigate the local approval process efficiently. This saves you time and ensures everything is done correctly.
The permit process usually takes one to two weeks, depending on the town’s current workload. We factor this timeline into your project schedule so there are no delays. All permit fees are included in your project estimate—no surprise costs later.
