You get natural light streaming into dark hallways, bathrooms, and living spaces without the constant worry about leaks. Your home feels more open and spacious while reducing your reliance on artificial lighting during the day.
Energy-efficient skylights help regulate indoor temperatures naturally. Less strain on your heating and cooling systems means lower monthly utility bills and a more comfortable home year-round.
The right skylight placement transforms cramped spaces into bright, welcoming areas your family actually wants to spend time in.
We’ve been installing leak-free skylights across Suffolk County for decades. We’re the local contractor Mattituck homeowners call when they want the job done right the first time.
Our team understands Long Island weather patterns and building codes. We know how coastal humidity, winter storms, and summer heat affect skylight performance, so we install accordingly.
Every installation includes proper flashing systems, premium materials, and the kind of attention to detail that comes from being locally owned and operated. When your neighbors need skylight work, they recommend us.
We start with a thorough assessment of your roof structure and interior space. You’ll know exactly where your skylight will go, what size works best, and how it’ll look before any cutting begins.
The installation begins inside with precise measurements and proper framing. We cut the ceiling opening, reinforce the structure, then move to the roof to create the opening and install the skylight unit.
The critical step is the flashing system – sill flashing at the bottom, step flashing along the sides, and saddle flashing at the top. Each piece works together to channel water away from your skylight. We finish by restoring your roofing materials and completing any interior drywall work.

Your skylight installation includes everything needed for a permanent, leak-free result. We handle structural framing, roof cutting, skylight mounting, complete flashing systems, and interior finishing work.
All materials are premium grade and selected for Suffolk County’s climate conditions. You get proper underlayment, ice and water shield protection, and flashing components designed to last decades.
Mattituck homes face unique challenges with coastal weather and seasonal temperature swings. Our installations account for these local conditions with extra attention to thermal expansion, wind resistance, and moisture management. The result is a skylight that performs reliably through Long Island’s weather extremes.
Skylight installation costs in Mattituck typically range from $1,500 to $4,000, depending on the size, type, and complexity of your project. Fixed skylights are the most affordable option, while vented or solar-powered units cost more due to additional components and electrical work.
The total includes the skylight unit, professional installation, proper flashing systems, and any necessary structural modifications. Installations on steep roofs or those requiring extensive interior work may cost more.
We provide detailed written estimates that break down all costs upfront, so you know exactly what you’re paying for before any work begins.
Deck-mount skylights install directly onto your roof deck and work best on steeper roofs with a pitch above 3:12. They sit lower profile and integrate seamlessly with your roofline, making them popular for residential applications.
Curb-mount skylights require a raised curb structure and are typically used on flatter roofs or commercial applications. The curb elevates the skylight above the roof surface for better water drainage on low-slope roofs.
For most Mattituck homes with standard pitched roofs, deck-mount skylights are the preferred choice. They offer better weather protection and a cleaner appearance while being more cost-effective to install.
Most residential skylight installations take one to two days to complete. Single skylight projects on accessible roofs typically finish in one day, while multiple skylights or complex installations may require an additional day.
Weather conditions can affect timing, especially during Suffolk County’s winter months. We schedule installations during optimal weather windows to ensure proper sealing and curing of materials.
The interior work, including drywall finishing and painting, may add another day depending on your preferences. We coordinate all phases to minimize disruption to your daily routine while ensuring quality results.
Properly installed skylights with correct flashing systems don’t leak, even during Suffolk County’s heaviest storms. The key is using a complete flashing kit with sill, step, and saddle components that work together to channel water away from the opening.
Most skylight leaks actually come from improper installation or damaged flashing, not the skylight itself. We install multiple layers of protection including ice and water shield, proper underlayment, and engineered flashing systems designed for Long Island weather.
Our installations come with warranties that cover both materials and workmanship. If any leak issues develop, we return to diagnose and fix the problem at no charge during the warranty period.
Skylights can be installed in most rooms, but the location depends on your roof structure and interior layout. Bathrooms, kitchens, hallways, and living areas are popular choices, especially spaces that lack adequate natural light.
The key consideration is having clear roof space above the intended location without interference from structural beams, HVAC equipment, or plumbing. We assess your specific situation during the initial consultation to determine the best placement options.
Some rooms benefit more from vented skylights that provide both light and ventilation, while others work better with fixed units focused purely on illumination. We help you choose the right type based on your room’s function and your preferences.
Most skylight installations in Mattituck require building permits since they involve structural modifications to your roof and ceiling. The permit process ensures your installation meets local building codes and safety requirements.
We handle the permit application process for you, including submitting plans and coordinating inspections. This saves you time and ensures all paperwork is completed correctly according to Suffolk County requirements.
The permit cost is typically included in our project estimates, and we schedule required inspections at appropriate stages of the installation. Having proper permits protects you and ensures your skylight installation adds value to your home.
