Hear from Our Customers
You’re tired of dark rooms that need lights on all day. You’ve seen skylights leak in other homes and heard the horror stories. Here’s what changes when you get it done right.
Your electric bill drops because you’re using natural light instead of running fixtures all day. Your home feels bigger, more open, and actually comfortable to be in. The air quality improves because properly vented skylights let stale air out while fresh air comes in.
Most importantly, you sleep better. Natural light exposure helps reset your circadian rhythm, which means deeper sleep and more energy during the day. That’s not marketing fluff—that’s what happens when your body gets the light it was designed to receive.
SkyLuxe Construction isn’t some fly-by-night operation that showed up yesterday. We’re a family business that’s been handling exterior work in Suffolk County for decades, and our name is on every job we complete.
We’ve seen what happens when skylights are installed by contractors who don’t understand flashing, don’t know local building codes, or cut corners on materials. That’s why we do the opposite. Every skylight gets proper flashing, quality materials, and installation that meets Suffolk County requirements.
New Suffolk homeowners choose us because we’re local, licensed, and our reputation depends on work that lasts. When your neighbors ask who did your skylight, you’ll be proud to tell them.
First, we assess your roof structure and determine the best location for your skylight. This isn’t just about where you want more light—it’s about where the installation will be structurally sound and weather-tight.
Next, we handle all the Suffolk County permits and paperwork. You don’t need to figure out building codes or stand in line at municipal offices. We know what’s required and take care of it.
Installation day starts with protecting your home and belongings. We cut the roof opening precisely, install proper flashing systems, and mount your skylight using techniques that prevent leaks. The interior work includes drywall, insulation, and finishing that matches your existing space. We clean up completely and walk you through your new skylight’s features and maintenance requirements.

Your skylight installation includes everything needed for a professional, leak-free result. We provide the skylight unit, all flashing materials, proper insulation, interior finishing, and cleanup. No surprise costs or additional trips to complete the job.
Suffolk County’s weather demands specific installation techniques. We use copper flashing systems that handle our coastal climate, apply proper sealants that won’t fail in temperature swings, and install insulation that prevents condensation issues common in Long Island homes.
You’ll receive manufacturer warranties on your skylight plus our installation warranty. We also provide maintenance guidance specific to Suffolk County conditions, including seasonal inspection recommendations and cleaning procedures that extend your skylight’s life.
Skylight installation in New Suffolk typically ranges from $1,500 to $4,000, depending on the size, type, and complexity of your installation. Fixed skylights are less expensive than vented models, and standard sizes cost less than custom dimensions.
The total includes the skylight unit, flashing materials, labor, permits, and interior finishing. Factors that affect price include your roof type, ceiling height, and any structural modifications needed. We provide detailed written estimates that break down all costs so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
Most homeowners find the energy savings offset the installation cost over time, especially with today’s energy-efficient models that can reduce heating and cooling bills by up to 13%.
Skylight leaks almost always result from improper installation, not the skylight itself. The most common causes are inadequate flashing, incorrect mounting, or using the wrong materials for Suffolk County’s climate.
We prevent leaks by using multi-layer flashing systems, proper sealants rated for coastal conditions, and installation techniques that direct water away from the opening. Every skylight gets step flashing, continuous flashing, and storm collar protection.
Our installation process includes water testing before we finish the interior work. If there’s any issue, we address it immediately rather than hoping it won’t be a problem later. That’s why we can offer installation warranties—we know our work will stay dry.
Yes, skylight installation in New Suffolk requires building permits because it involves structural modifications to your roof. Suffolk County requires permits for any work that cuts through roofing materials or affects your home’s structural integrity.
We handle all permit applications, inspections, and approvals as part of our service. This includes submitting plans, scheduling required inspections, and ensuring the work meets local building codes. You don’t need to visit municipal offices or figure out Suffolk County requirements.
Permits protect you by ensuring the work is done correctly and documented for insurance and resale purposes. Unpermitted work can create problems when you sell your home or file insurance claims, which is why we always do things the right way.
Most skylight installations in New Suffolk take one to two days to complete. Simple installations on accessible roofs with standard ceiling heights typically finish in one day. More complex installations involving vaulted ceilings or structural modifications may take two days.
Weather affects the timeline since we need dry conditions for roof work. We monitor forecasts and schedule installations during stable weather periods. If weather delays occur, we protect your home with temporary coverings until conditions improve.
The timeline includes all work from roof cutting to interior finishing and cleanup. We don’t leave jobs partially complete—when we’re done, your skylight is ready to use and your home is back to normal.
Suffolk County’s coastal climate requires skylights designed for temperature swings, high humidity, and storm conditions. We recommend double-pane, low-E glass skylights with insulated frames for optimal energy efficiency and durability.
Vented skylights work well here because they help manage humidity and improve air circulation, which is important in our climate. Fixed skylights are good for areas where ventilation isn’t needed but maximum light is desired.
Frame materials matter too. Vinyl frames offer good insulation and don’t corrode in coastal conditions. Metal frames are durable but may require thermal breaks to prevent condensation. We help you choose based on your specific location, home design, and budget.
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 electrical lighting needs and passive solar heating in winter months.
In Suffolk County, skylights provide natural light for 8-10 hours daily during most of the year, significantly reducing artificial lighting needs. Vented skylights also help cool homes naturally by releasing hot air that rises to the ceiling, reducing air conditioning usage.
The key is choosing ENERGY STAR certified skylights with low-E coatings and proper installation that prevents air leaks. Combined with Suffolk County’s relatively high energy costs, most homeowners see meaningful savings that help offset the installation investment over time.
