Hear from Our Customers
You wake up to natural sunlight streaming through your ceiling, no longer reaching for light switches during the day. Your electricity bill drops month after month because you’re using less artificial lighting.
The rooms that used to feel cramped and dark now feel spacious and welcoming. Your kitchen becomes the heart of your home where cooking feels natural and enjoyable in real daylight.
Most importantly, you never worry about water damage. No stains creeping across your ceiling, no expensive repairs from botched installations, no mold growing in hidden corners.
We’ve been serving Mount Sinai and Suffolk County homeowners for years, specializing in comprehensive exterior home improvement. We understand the unique challenges of Long Island’s climate, from harsh winters to humid summers.
Unlike contractors who dabble in skylights as a side service, we’re full-service exterior specialists. We know how skylights integrate with your roofing system, siding, and overall home structure.
We’ve seen the moisture problems that plague Mount Sinai homes when attic ventilation gets compromised. We’ve repaired the damage from poorly installed skylights that leak every time it rains. That experience drives our commitment to getting it right the first time.
We start with a thorough roof inspection to determine the best skylight placement for maximum light and structural integrity. We’ll show you exactly where your new skylight will go and explain how we’ll integrate it with your existing roofing system.
Next comes the precision installation. We cut the opening, install proper flashing systems, and mount your skylight using techniques that prevent the leaks that plague so many Mount Sinai homes. Every seal gets tested, every connection verified.
The interior finishing comes last. We handle any drywall work, painting, or trim installation needed to complete your transformation. You’re left with a beautiful skylight that looks like it was always part of your home’s original design.

Your skylight installation includes premium VELUX or equivalent materials designed for Long Island’s weather extremes. Low-E coatings reduce heat transfer, keeping your home comfortable year-round while cutting energy costs.
We use advanced flashing systems specifically engineered for Suffolk County’s climate patterns. The materials we install are the same ones used by the most successful contractors across Mount Sinai, chosen for their proven performance against our area’s wind-driven rain and freeze-thaw cycles.
Every installation includes proper insulation integration and vapor barriers. We’ve learned from years of repairing moisture damage in Mount Sinai homes that cutting corners on these details leads to expensive problems later. Our approach prevents the condensation issues that cause rot and mold in poorly ventilated attics.
Skylight installation in Mount Sinai typically ranges from $1,500 to $4,500, depending on the size, type, and complexity of your roof. Fixed skylights for simple installations cost less, while venting skylights with advanced features like solar operation cost more.
The biggest factor affecting price is your roof’s complexity. Steep pitches, multiple roof lines, or the need for structural modifications increase labor costs. We provide detailed written estimates that break down all costs so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
Most Mount Sinai homeowners find the energy savings pay for a significant portion of their investment over time. Reduced lighting costs and improved home value make skylights one of the more cost-effective home improvements you can make.
Skylight leaks are almost always caused by poor installation, not defective products. We’ve repaired dozens of leaking skylights in Mount Sinai, and the problems usually trace back to inadequate flashing, improper sealing, or shortcuts during installation.
Our installation process includes multiple leak prevention layers. We use step flashing integrated with your existing roofing system, apply high-grade sealants designed for Long Island’s climate, and test every seal before completing the job.
We also provide written warranties on our workmanship because we’re confident in our installation methods. The skylights we install stay dry through Suffolk County’s worst storms, including the wind-driven rain that causes problems for poorly installed units.
Yes, we regularly install skylights in existing roofs throughout Mount Sinai. The process requires careful planning to ensure proper integration with your current roofing system and structural support.
We start by inspecting your roof framing to confirm it can support a skylight opening. Most homes can accommodate standard skylight sizes, but we occasionally need to add reinforcement for larger units or in areas where roof trusses need modification.
The key is working with your existing roofing materials rather than against them. We match flashing to your current roof system and coordinate the installation timing to minimize weather exposure. Most installations complete in one day, weather permitting.
For Mount Sinai’s climate, we recommend double-glazed skylights with Low-E coatings and impact-resistant glass. These handle our temperature swings from hot summers to freezing winters while providing excellent energy efficiency.
Venting skylights work well in bathrooms and kitchens where humidity control matters. Fixed skylights are perfect for living areas where you want maximum light without the complexity of moving parts. Both types perform well here when properly installed.
Solar-powered venting skylights are increasingly popular because they automatically close when rain sensors detect moisture. This feature provides peace of mind during Suffolk County’s sudden thunderstorms when you’re not home to manually close venting units.
Most skylight installations in Mount Sinai complete in 4-6 hours for straightforward roof configurations. Complex installations involving structural modifications or multiple skylights may require a full day or extend into a second day.
Weather plays a major role in timing. We won’t start installation if rain is forecast within the completion window because your home’s interior needs protection during the process. We’d rather reschedule than rush and compromise quality.
The interior finishing work usually adds 2-3 hours for drywall patching, painting, and trim installation. We can often complete this work the same day, but sometimes schedule it separately to allow proper drying time for materials.
We handle all permit requirements for skylight installations in Mount Sinai and throughout Suffolk County. Most skylight projects require building permits, and we’re familiar with local code requirements and inspection processes.
The permit process typically takes 1-2 weeks depending on the town’s current workload. We submit all necessary drawings and specifications, coordinate with building inspectors, and ensure your installation meets all local codes.
Some homeowners try to skip permits to save money, but this creates problems when selling your home or filing insurance claims. Proper permits protect your investment and ensure the work meets safety standards that protect your family.
