You know those rooms in your home where you automatically reach for the light switch, even during the day? The bathroom that feels like a cave. The hallway that’s always dim. The kitchen corner that never gets enough light.
Those days are over. A properly installed skylight transforms these spaces completely. Natural light pours in from above, making rooms feel larger, more welcoming, and genuinely comfortable to spend time in.
Your energy bills drop because you’re not constantly running lights during daylight hours. The air feels fresher with improved ventilation. And honestly, your whole mood changes when you’re living in spaces that feel bright and open instead of closed off from the world outside.
We’ve been serving Suffolk County families for decades. We’re not just another contractor – we’re your neighbors who understand exactly what Long Island weather throws at your roof.
Every skylight installation gets personal oversight from our team. We combine old-school craftsmanship with modern sealing techniques because we know that in North Great River, a skylight that leaks isn’t just an inconvenience – it’s a disaster waiting to happen.
Our clients consistently tell us the same thing: we show up when we say we will, we clean up after ourselves, and we answer the phone when they call. That shouldn’t be rare in this industry, but it is.
First, we assess your roof structure and the room below to determine the best skylight placement. Not every spot works – we look for areas that maximize light while avoiding structural issues and potential leak points.
Next comes the precision work. We cut the roof opening, install proper framing, and set the skylight with multiple layers of weatherproofing. The flashing, underlayment, and sealing all work together to keep water out permanently.
Finally, we handle the interior finishing. Your new skylight blends seamlessly into your ceiling, and we clean up completely before we leave. Most installations take just one to two days, and you’ll notice the difference in your room immediately.

Your skylight installation includes everything needed for long-term performance. We use premium materials like Velux skylights, known for their durability and energy efficiency in Long Island’s climate.
Each installation comes with proper flashing systems designed specifically for our local weather patterns. Suffolk County gets everything from heavy rain to snow loads, and your skylight needs to handle it all without issues.
You’ll also get low-E glass options that minimize heat transfer, keeping your home comfortable year-round while reducing energy costs. For kitchens and bathrooms, we offer venting skylights that improve air circulation and reduce humidity problems common in North Great River homes.
Skylight installation in Suffolk County typically ranges from $1,000 to $4,000, depending on the size, type, and complexity of your specific project. Fixed skylights cost less than venting models, and solar-powered options are at the higher end.
The final cost depends on your roof type, the room location, and any additional features you choose. We provide detailed estimates that break down materials and labor so you know exactly what you’re paying for. Most homeowners find the energy savings and increased home value make it a worthwhile investment.
Skylight leaks happen when installation is done incorrectly or with cheap materials. That’s why we use professional-grade flashing systems and multiple layers of protection specifically designed for Long Island weather conditions.
Our installation process includes advanced flashing, adhesive underlayment, and secure sealing techniques. We’ve been installing skylights in Suffolk County for decades and stand behind our work with leak-free guarantees. When done right by experienced professionals, skylights don’t leak.
Most skylight installations take one to two days to complete. Day one involves the roof work – cutting the opening, installing framing, setting the skylight, and weatherproofing. Day two typically covers interior finishing and final cleanup.
Weather can affect timing, especially during Suffolk County’s winter months. We’ll give you a realistic timeline based on your specific project and current conditions. The actual installation is faster than most homeowners expect, but we never rush the weatherproofing steps that prevent future problems.
Skylights can be installed on most roof types common in North Great River, including asphalt shingle, tile, and metal roofs. However, the installation process and requirements differ based on your specific roofing material and roof pitch.
We assess each roof individually to determine feasibility and the best approach. Steep roofs require different techniques than low-slope installations. Some older roofs may need structural reinforcement or repairs before skylight installation. We’ll evaluate your roof during the initial consultation and explain any specific considerations for your home.
Yes, properly installed skylights can significantly reduce energy costs in Suffolk County homes. They eliminate the need for artificial lighting during daylight hours, which can cut electricity usage substantially in rooms that previously required lights all day.
Modern energy-efficient skylights with low-E glass also provide insulation benefits. In winter, they allow solar heat gain while minimizing heat loss. In summer, they can be paired with blinds or shades to control heat gain. Venting skylights also improve air circulation, reducing cooling costs. Most homeowners see noticeable reductions in their energy bills within the first few months.
Fixed skylights only provide natural light – they don’t open. They’re perfect for living rooms, hallways, and areas where you want light but don’t need ventilation. They’re also typically less expensive and have fewer potential leak points.
Venting skylights can be opened to provide airflow along with light. They’re ideal for kitchens, bathrooms, and other areas where moisture control and air circulation are important. Many venting models come with rain sensors that automatically close them when weather conditions change. We help you choose the right type based on each room’s specific needs and your budget.
