You’ll notice the difference immediately. Natural light floods rooms that used to feel cramped and dark. Your electric bills drop as you rely less on artificial lighting during the day. The space feels bigger, brighter, and more welcoming.
Energy-efficient skylights don’t just add light—they add value. Modern installations with proper insulation can reduce heating and cooling costs while creating that open, airy feeling you’ve been wanting. Your home becomes the kind of place people actually want to spend time in.
The health benefits are real too. Natural light exposure helps regulate sleep patterns, reduces eye strain, and boosts mood. It’s not just about aesthetics—it’s about creating a healthier living environment for you and your family.
We’ve been serving Suffolk County homeowners for decades. We’re not just another contractor—we’re your neighbors, and we understand exactly what Long Island homes need to withstand our coastal weather.
Our family-owned business combines traditional craftsmanship with modern installation techniques. Every skylight project gets personal oversight from our experienced team. We know Suffolk County’s building requirements, weather patterns, and the specific challenges that come with installing skylights in this area.
When you choose us, you’re working with contractors who’ve built our reputation one satisfied customer at a time. We’re licensed, insured, and committed to transparent communication throughout your entire project.
We start with a thorough assessment of your roof structure and the rooms you want to brighten. Our team examines the existing roof materials, determines the best skylight placement for maximum light, and explains your options clearly.
Installation typically takes one to two days depending on complexity. We cut the roof opening with precision, install proper flashing and weatherproofing materials, and mount your new skylight using manufacturer-approved techniques. Every step focuses on preventing leaks and ensuring long-term performance.
The final step is a complete walkthrough with you. We test the skylight operation, check all seals, and clean up thoroughly. You’ll know exactly how to operate and maintain your new skylight, plus you’ll have our warranty backing the installation quality.

We install high-quality skylights designed to handle Long Island’s challenging weather conditions. Our preferred brands include Velux and other industry-leading manufacturers known for durability and energy efficiency. These aren’t basic skylights—they’re engineered for performance.
Suffolk County homes face unique challenges. Salt air, high winds, and temperature fluctuations demand skylights that can perform year after year. We use proper flashing systems, high-grade sealants, and energy-efficient glazing options that make sense for our local climate.
Your installation includes everything needed for long-term success: professional-grade flashing, insulation materials, and weatherproofing that prevent the leaks and problems you hear about with poor installations. We stand behind our work because we use the right materials and proven installation methods.
Skylight installation costs typically range from $1,500 to $3,000 per skylight, including materials and professional installation. The final price depends on skylight size, type (fixed or venting), roof complexity, and any additional features like remote controls or energy-efficient glazing.
Fixed skylights are generally less expensive than venting models. Larger skylights require more materials and labor. Complex roof lines or steep pitches may increase installation time. We provide detailed estimates that break down all costs so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
The investment pays for itself through reduced electric bills and increased home value. Energy-efficient skylights can lower your lighting costs significantly, and many homeowners see a positive return when they sell their homes.
Properly installed skylights with quality flashing systems don’t leak. The key is using the right materials and following manufacturer installation specifications exactly. We install new flashing kits with every skylight and use proven weatherproofing techniques.
Most skylight leaks happen because of poor installation or using inadequate flashing materials. We use step flashing, proper sealants, and ice and water shield where needed. Our installation process includes multiple layers of protection against water infiltration.
Suffolk County gets significant rainfall and snow. Our installations are designed specifically for these conditions. We warranty our installation work because we’re confident in our weatherproofing methods and the quality materials we use.
Yes, we regularly install skylights in existing roofs. Most installations don’t require major structural changes. We work with your current roof system and make precise cuts to accommodate the new skylight opening.
The process involves cutting through roofing materials and roof decking, then installing the skylight with proper flashing and sealing. We inspect the roof structure first to ensure it can support the skylight. Most Suffolk County homes have adequate framing for standard skylight installations.
Installation typically takes one to two days. We protect your home’s interior during the process and complete weatherproofing the same day we make the roof opening. You won’t have an open hole in your roof overnight.
Fixed skylights provide natural light but don’t open. They’re less expensive and work well for rooms where you primarily want more daylight. Venting skylights can be opened to provide fresh air circulation along with natural light.
Venting skylights are ideal for bathrooms, kitchens, or any space where you want to improve ventilation. They can be manual (opened with a crank) or electric (operated by remote control or wall switch). Some models include rain sensors that automatically close when precipitation starts.
The choice depends on your goals and budget. Fixed skylights cost less initially but venting skylights provide more functionality. Both types offer the same energy efficiency and natural light benefits when properly installed.
Yes, energy-efficient skylights can significantly reduce lighting costs and may help with heating in winter. Natural daylight reduces your need for artificial lighting during daytime hours. Quality skylights with low-E coatings also provide insulation benefits.
The energy savings depend on skylight placement and your current lighting usage. Rooms that currently require lights during the day will see the biggest impact. Some homeowners report 20-30% reductions in daytime lighting costs after skylight installation.
Winter benefits include passive solar heating. Well-placed skylights can warm rooms naturally during sunny winter days. Combined with proper insulation and energy-efficient glazing, skylights become part of your home’s overall energy efficiency strategy.
Quality skylights properly installed typically last 15-20 years or more. The key factors are using durable materials designed for coastal conditions and maintaining proper seals and flashing over time.
Long Island’s salt air and weather extremes require skylights built for these conditions. We install brands known for durability in coastal environments. The glazing, frame materials, and flashing systems are all selected specifically for Suffolk County’s climate challenges.
Regular maintenance helps maximize lifespan. This includes occasional cleaning, checking seals, and ensuring proper drainage around the skylight. We provide maintenance guidelines with every installation and offer ongoing service when needed.
