You wake up to rooms flooded with natural sunlight instead of reaching for light switches. Your energy bills drop because you’re using less artificial lighting during the day. The spaces that used to feel cramped and dark now feel open and inviting.
Most importantly, you never worry about leaks. No water stains on your ceiling. No emergency calls during storms. No regrets about your investment.
Your skylight works exactly like it should—bringing in light while keeping water out, year after year.
SkyLuxe Construction has been installing skylights across Suffolk County for years, and we understand what works here. We know how Long Island weather tests every roof penetration. We’ve seen what happens when skylights are installed wrong.
That’s why we only do permanent installations. Our certified technicians handle everything from flashing to weatherproofing, using premium materials designed for our climate. We’re licensed, insured, and local—which means we stand behind our work because we live here too.
When you need skylight installation in Islandia, you’re getting contractors who understand both the technical requirements and the local conditions that make the difference between a skylight that works and one that causes problems.
We start with a thorough inspection of your roof structure and interior space to determine the best skylight placement and size. This isn’t just about cutting a hole—we’re evaluating load-bearing considerations, drainage patterns, and interior finishing requirements.
Next, we handle all the structural work. We cut the roof opening with precision, install proper framing, and set up the skylight with professional-grade flashing systems. The flashing is critical—it’s what keeps water out, and we use techniques specifically designed for Suffolk County’s weather patterns.
Finally, we complete the interior finishing work and test everything. You get a detailed walkthrough of your new skylight, plus maintenance guidance to keep it performing perfectly. The job isn’t done until you’re completely satisfied and everything is cleaned up.

Your skylight installation includes everything needed for a complete, permanent solution. We provide the skylight unit, professional flashing installation, structural modifications, interior finishing work, and thorough cleanup.
In Islandia’s mature housing market, where most homes were built in the 1960s and 70s, we often work with existing roof structures that need special attention. We’re experienced with the architectural styles common in Suffolk County and know how to integrate modern, energy-efficient skylights seamlessly.
You also get our guarantee on the installation. We use premium materials designed to handle Long Island’s weather extremes—from summer heat to winter snow loads. Every installation is tested before we leave, and we provide you with maintenance guidelines to ensure your skylight continues performing for decades.
Skylight installation in Islandia typically ranges from $1,000 to $4,000, depending on the size, type, and complexity of your project. Basic fixed skylights cost less than vented or solar-powered units. The final price also depends on your roof’s complexity and any interior finishing work required.
We provide transparent pricing with detailed estimates before any work begins. Factors that affect cost include the skylight size and brand, roof accessibility, structural modifications needed, and interior work like drywall repair or painting. We’ll walk through all costs upfront so you know exactly what to expect.
Not when it’s installed correctly. Most skylight leaks happen because of improper flashing installation or using inferior materials. We use professional-grade flashing systems and techniques specifically designed for Suffolk County’s weather patterns.
Our installation process focuses heavily on waterproofing. We install ice and water shield, use premium sealants, and employ flashing methods that direct water away from the skylight opening. Every installation is tested before we consider the job complete, and we guarantee our work against leaks.
The key difference is experience and technique. We’ve seen what causes skylight failures, and we’ve developed installation methods that prevent those problems from the start.
Yes, we regularly install skylights in existing roofs throughout Islandia. While it’s more cost-effective to install skylights during a roof replacement, we can successfully add skylights to established roofing systems.
The process involves carefully cutting the roof opening, installing proper structural support, and integrating the skylight with your existing roofing materials. We take special care to match flashing and weatherproofing to your current roof system.
Most homes in Islandia were built in the 1960s and 70s, so we’re very experienced working with existing roof structures. We’ll assess your roof’s condition and let you know if any additional work is needed to ensure a proper installation.
For Suffolk County’s climate, we recommend premium skylights with tempered glass and robust flashing systems. VELUX skylights are excellent choices because they’re designed for durability and energy efficiency. Vented skylights work well for bathrooms and kitchens, while fixed skylights are perfect for living areas.
The key is proper installation rather than just the skylight brand. Even the best skylight will fail if the flashing isn’t installed correctly. We focus on creating a weatherproof seal that handles everything from summer storms to winter snow loads.
Solar-powered skylights are becoming popular because they provide ventilation without requiring electrical work. We’ll recommend the best option based on your specific room, roof type, and budget.
Most skylight installations are completed in one day, though complex projects may take longer. The timeline depends on your roof’s accessibility, structural modifications needed, and interior finishing work required.
We start early and work efficiently to minimize disruption to your daily routine. Weather can affect scheduling—we won’t install skylights during rain or high winds because proper installation requires dry conditions.
We’ll give you a realistic timeline during our initial consultation. Most homeowners are surprised how quickly we can transform a dark room into a bright, naturally lit space. The key is proper planning and having experienced installers who know exactly what we’re doing.
Yes, properly installed skylights can reduce your lighting costs significantly. Natural light from skylights is much more effective than regular windows—skylights can provide up to five times more light than vertical windows of the same size.
During daylight hours, you’ll use less artificial lighting, which directly reduces your electric bill. In winter, skylights can provide passive solar heating, though the effect varies depending on the skylight’s orientation and your home’s design.
Energy-efficient skylights with low-E coatings also help with temperature control, reducing both heating and cooling costs. The energy savings add up over time, making skylight installation a smart long-term investment for your Islandia home.
