You know that dark hallway or bathroom that never gets enough light? A properly installed skylight changes everything. Natural light floods in where you need it most, cutting your electric bill while making spaces feel twice as large.
The difference isn’t just what you see—it’s what you save. Homeowners typically see immediate reductions in lighting costs, and the right skylight placement can even help with heating bills during Suffolk County winters.
But here’s what matters most: our installations don’t leak. Period. We’ve seen too many homeowners deal with water damage from poorly installed skylights, and that’s exactly why we guarantee our work stays watertight.
We’ve been handling exterior home improvements for Suffolk County families for years, and we understand what works in our local climate. Huntington Station homes face specific challenges—from coastal humidity to winter freeze-thaw cycles that can wreak havoc on improperly installed skylights.
We’re a family-run business, which means when you call, you’re talking to people who live and work in this community. Our team knows Suffolk County building requirements, weather patterns, and exactly how to install skylights that perform year after year.
Every project gets the same attention to detail, whether you’re adding a single skylight or integrating multiple units during a roof replacement. We use premium materials, maintain transparent communication, and stand behind our work with guarantees that actually mean something.
First, we assess your home’s structure and discuss exactly where you want more natural light. Not every location works equally well, so we’ll recommend optimal placement for both light distribution and structural integrity.
Next comes the precision work. We carefully cut the roof opening, install proper flashing and waterproofing systems, and mount your skylight with techniques that prevent the leaks that plague so many installations. If you’re adding skylights to a room with an attic above, we’ll also build the light shaft and handle all interior finishing work.
The final step is testing and cleanup. We verify everything is properly sealed, check that any ventilating features work correctly, and leave your property spotless. You get natural light that transforms your space, plus the peace of mind that comes with professional installation.

We install three main types of skylights, each suited to different needs and budgets. Fixed skylights are the most cost-effective option, perfect for adding natural light to hallways, stairwells, or any space where ventilation isn’t a priority.
Ventilating skylights open to provide both light and fresh air circulation. These work especially well in bathrooms and kitchens, where you need to remove moisture and cooking odors. We offer both manual and electric options, depending on ceiling height and your preferences.
For Huntington Station’s climate, we typically recommend energy-efficient skylight installation with low-E glass coatings and proper insulation. These reduce heat transfer in both directions—keeping your home cooler in summer and retaining warmth in winter. The upfront investment pays for itself through lower utility bills, and many of our customers qualify for energy efficiency rebates that reduce the overall cost.
Skylight installation in Huntington Station typically ranges from $1,500 to $4,000 per unit, depending on size, type, and complexity of the installation. Fixed skylights are the most affordable option, while ventilating models with electric operation cost more due to additional features and wiring requirements.
The total cost includes the skylight unit, professional installation, flashing, waterproofing, and any necessary interior work like light shaft construction. We provide detailed estimates upfront, so you know exactly what you’re investing in. Many homeowners find the energy savings help offset the initial cost over time.
Not when installed correctly by experienced professionals. Skylight leaks are almost always the result of improper installation or inadequate flashing systems, not the skylight itself.
We use proven waterproofing techniques specifically designed for Suffolk County’s climate, including freeze-thaw cycles and coastal humidity. Our installations include proper flashing integration with your existing roof system and high-quality sealants that maintain their integrity for years. We guarantee our work stays leak-free because we know how to do it right the first time.
Absolutely, and it’s often the most cost-effective approach. When we’re already working on your roof, adding skylights requires minimal additional labor since we have full access to the roof structure and sheathing.
Combining skylight installation with roof replacement also ensures perfect integration between your new roofing materials and skylight flashing systems. This coordinated approach typically saves money compared to separate projects and guarantees everything works together as a complete system. We handle all the planning and coordination to make the process seamless.
Quality skylights properly installed typically last 15-25 years in Long Island’s climate, with premium brands like Velux often exceeding that lifespan. The key factors are professional installation, quality materials, and regular maintenance.
Suffolk County’s coastal environment and temperature swings can be tough on building materials, but modern skylights are designed to handle these conditions. We use materials specifically rated for our climate zone and install them with techniques that account for thermal expansion, moisture management, and wind loads. Regular inspections and minor maintenance keep them performing optimally for decades.
Yes, when properly selected and installed. Natural light reduces your need for artificial lighting during daylight hours, and strategic skylight placement can provide passive solar heating in winter months.
The average Suffolk County home sees noticeable reductions in electric bills, especially during long summer days when skylights can provide most of your interior lighting needs. Energy-efficient models with low-E coatings and proper insulation also help maintain comfortable temperatures year-round. Many homeowners report savings that help offset the installation cost over several years.
Most skylight installations in Huntington Station require building permits, and some may need additional permits depending on electrical work or structural modifications. The specific requirements depend on the size and type of skylight, plus any interior work involved.
We handle all permit applications and inspections as part of our service, ensuring your installation meets local building codes and safety requirements. This protects your investment and ensures your homeowner’s insurance remains valid. The permit process typically adds a few days to the project timeline but is essential for proper legal compliance.
