Your dark hallways, bathrooms, and interior rooms don’t have to stay that way. A professionally installed skylight changes everything—suddenly that unwelcoming space becomes bright, airy, and inviting.
You’ll notice the difference immediately. Natural light floods in during the day, reducing your need for electric lighting and lowering your energy bills. The space feels larger, more open, and actually becomes a room you want to spend time in.
Modern skylights aren’t the leaky problems of the past. With proper installation and quality materials, you get all the benefits of natural light without any of the headaches.

Today’s skylights aren’t just about letting light in—they’re designed for Long Island’s climate. Energy-efficient glazing reduces heat transfer, keeping your home comfortable year-round while lowering utility costs.
In Islip, where summer heat and winter cold both challenge your home’s energy efficiency, proper skylight selection matters. Low-E coatings minimize heat gain in summer and heat loss in winter. Venting options provide fresh air circulation when you need it.
Suffolk County homeowners also appreciate features like rain sensors that automatically close venting skylights during storms, and solar-powered options that operate without adding to your electric bill. These aren’t luxury features—they’re practical solutions for our local conditions.
Skylight installation costs in Islip typically range from $1,500 to $4,000, depending on the type of skylight, roof complexity, and features you choose. Fixed skylights are the most affordable option, while venting skylights with electric or solar operation cost more.
The total cost includes the skylight unit itself, professional installation, proper flashing, and any interior finishing work needed. Most homeowners find the energy savings from reduced lighting costs help offset the initial investment over time.
Getting an accurate estimate requires looking at your specific roof type, the room you want to brighten, and your preferences for features like blinds or automatic operation. Every home is different, which is why we provide detailed, written estimates for each project.
Skylight leaks are almost always the result of improper installation, not the skylight itself. Modern skylights, when installed correctly with proper flashing and sealing techniques, provide years of leak-free performance.
The key is working with contractors who understand Suffolk County’s weather patterns and use proven installation methods. This includes proper flashing around the skylight opening, quality sealants that can handle temperature changes, and attention to details like ice dam protection.
We stand behind our installations with comprehensive warranties. We use manufacturer-approved installation techniques and high-quality materials specifically designed for Long Island’s climate conditions. When done right, your new skylight will keep the weather outside where it belongs.
Most rooms can accommodate a skylight, but the best results come from careful planning about placement and type. Bathrooms, hallways, kitchens, and living areas are popular choices because they benefit most from additional natural light.
The key factors are having adequate roof space above the room, proper structural support, and choosing the right skylight type for the space. Small rooms might work better with tubular skylights, while larger spaces can handle traditional skylights.
Your roof’s pitch, direction, and existing structure all play a role in determining the best approach. We evaluate each situation individually to recommend the most effective solution for your specific home and goals.
Most skylight installations are completed in one to two days, depending on the complexity of the job and whether any additional framing work is needed. Simple installations on accessible roofs often finish in a single day.
The process involves cutting the roof opening, installing the skylight unit with proper flashing, and completing any interior finishing work. Weather conditions can affect timing, as installers need dry conditions to maintain your home’s weather protection during installation.
We schedule installations to minimize disruption to your daily routine. We protect your home’s interior during the work and clean up thoroughly when finished. You’ll have your bright, new skylight ready to enjoy without the mess and hassle.
Yes, modern skylights can significantly improve your home’s energy efficiency when properly selected and installed. The natural light reduces your need for electric lighting during the day, which lowers your electricity bills.
Energy-efficient skylights with Low-E coatings and proper glazing also help regulate indoor temperatures. They let in light while blocking excessive heat in summer and reducing heat loss in winter. Venting skylights provide natural air circulation, reducing your reliance on air conditioning.
The key is choosing the right skylight for Long Island’s climate and your specific needs. ENERGY STAR qualified skylights meet strict efficiency guidelines and often qualify for energy rebates. Over time, the energy savings help offset the installation cost.
Properly installed skylights require minimal maintenance, but regular care helps ensure long-term performance. Basic cleaning of the glass surface keeps light transmission at its best, and occasional inspection of seals and flashing catches any issues early.
In Suffolk County, it’s smart to check skylights after major storms and clear any debris that might accumulate around the flashing. Most maintenance tasks are simple enough for homeowners, though professional inspection every few years is recommended.
Quality skylights are built to handle our local weather conditions with minimal intervention. We provide maintenance guidelines with every installation and offer ongoing service if you prefer professional care. The goal is decades of trouble-free performance with just basic attention.
