You’re tired of dark rooms that need lights on all day. You’re watching your energy bills climb every month. You know your home could feel more open and inviting, but you’re not sure how to get there without a major renovation.
A professionally installed skylight changes everything. Suddenly, that dim hallway becomes bright and welcoming. Your kitchen gets the natural light it deserves. Your energy bills drop because you’re not running lights during the day. And when it comes time to sell, buyers see a home that feels larger, brighter, and more valuable than the house next door.
The difference isn’t just about the light—it’s about how your home feels when you walk through it every day.
We’ve been serving Suffolk County homeowners for years, specializing in exterior home improvements that actually make a difference. We understand Mastic Beach’s unique weather patterns—from coastal storms to winter freeze-thaw cycles—and how to install skylights that perform year after year.
Unlike general contractors who treat skylights as a side project, we focus on getting the details right. Proper flashing. Quality materials. Installations that don’t leak. We’ve seen too many homeowners deal with water damage from poorly installed skylights, which is why we guarantee our work.
When you’re ready to bring natural light into your home, you want a team that knows Suffolk County homes inside and out.
First, we assess your home’s structure and your lighting goals. Not every room is right for every type of skylight, and we’ll tell you exactly what works best for your space. We measure precisely, check for any obstacles like wiring or plumbing, and recommend the right size and style for your needs.
Next comes the installation itself. We cut the roof opening with surgical precision, install proper flashing to prevent leaks, and mount the skylight using techniques that handle Suffolk County’s weather. The interior finishing includes drywall work and trim that matches your existing decor.
Finally, we test everything. Water testing to ensure no leaks. Functional testing for any moving parts. A thorough cleanup that leaves your home looking better than when we started. You get a skylight that works perfectly from day one and keeps working for years to come.

Every skylight installation includes high-quality materials designed for Long Island’s climate. We use premium flashing systems that handle everything from summer thunderstorms to winter ice buildup. The skylights themselves feature energy-efficient glazing that lets in light while keeping heat transfer to a minimum.
In Mastic Beach, where homes range from 1940s colonials to modern construction, we customize each installation to fit your home’s specific architecture. Older homes might need additional structural support, while newer construction allows for more flexibility in placement and size.
The installation also includes proper insulation around the skylight frame, interior finishing that matches your existing trim, and exterior work that complements your roofline. You’re not just getting a hole in your roof with glass—you’re getting a complete lighting solution that looks like it was always part of your home.
Skylight installation in Mastic Beach typically ranges from $1,500 to $4,000, depending on the size, type, and complexity of your project. A standard fixed skylight on a simple roof pitch costs less than a large venting skylight that requires structural modifications.
The price includes the skylight unit itself, professional installation, flashing, interior finishing, and cleanup. Factors that affect cost include your roof type (asphalt shingle is easier than slate), the need for electrical work if you want remote controls, and whether you’re installing during new construction or cutting into an existing roof.
Most homeowners find the energy savings and increased home value justify the investment within a few years.
A properly installed skylight with quality flashing should not leak. The key is professional installation that follows manufacturer specifications and local building codes. Poor installation is the leading cause of skylight leaks, which is why choosing an experienced contractor matters.
Modern skylights use advanced flashing systems and sealants designed to handle Suffolk County’s weather extremes. When installed correctly, these systems create multiple barriers against water penetration. The flashing directs water away from the skylight opening, while proper insulation prevents condensation issues.
We guarantee our installations against leaks because we use proven techniques and quality materials that stand up to Long Island’s coastal weather patterns.
For Suffolk County’s climate, energy-efficient skylights with Low-E coatings work best. These reduce heat gain in summer while still providing excellent natural light. Fixed skylights are most popular for areas like hallways and living rooms, while venting skylights work well in kitchens and bathrooms where moisture control matters.
In Mastic Beach’s coastal environment, skylights need to handle salt air and strong winds. Deck-mounted skylights with proper flashing systems perform better than older curb-mounted designs. The glazing should be impact-resistant to handle occasional hail and debris from storms.
For homes built in different eras, the choice also depends on your roof structure. Older homes might benefit from tubular skylights in tight spaces, while newer construction can accommodate larger traditional skylights.
Most skylight installations take one to two days, depending on the complexity of your project. A simple fixed skylight on a straightforward roof can be completed in a single day, while larger venting skylights or installations requiring structural work might take two days.
The process starts with precise measurements and cutting the roof opening. This is followed by flashing installation, skylight mounting, and interior finishing work. Weather conditions can affect timing—installations are typically postponed during rain or high winds for safety and quality reasons.
We schedule installations when weather conditions are optimal and keep you informed throughout the process. We also protect your home’s interior during installation to prevent any weather-related issues.
Yes, properly installed energy-efficient skylights can reduce energy costs by up to 13% according to the U.S. Department of Energy. The savings come from reduced need for artificial lighting during daylight hours and passive solar heating in winter months.
In Mastic Beach, where summer cooling costs can be significant, skylights with Low-E coatings help by providing natural light without excessive heat gain. During winter, the same skylights can help warm your home naturally on sunny days, reducing heating costs.
The exact savings depend on your home’s orientation, the skylight’s placement, and your current energy usage patterns. Most homeowners see noticeable reductions in their electricity bills within the first few months after installation.
Skylights can be installed on most roof types, but the approach varies depending on your roofing material and roof pitch. Asphalt shingle roofs are the easiest for skylight installation, while tile, slate, or metal roofing requires specialized techniques and flashing systems.
The roof pitch also matters—skylights work best on roofs with at least a 15-degree slope for proper water drainage. Flat roofs require curb-mounted skylights with special drainage considerations. Very steep roofs need additional safety measures during installation but can accommodate most skylight types.
We evaluate each roof individually to determine the best installation approach. We’re experienced with all common roofing materials found in Suffolk County and can recommend the right skylight solution for your specific roof type.
