Your home gets the natural light you’ve been wanting. Rooms feel bigger and more comfortable. Your electricity bills drop because you’re using less artificial lighting during the day.
But here’s what really matters in North Sea – you won’t be calling contractors to fix leaks. We install skylights that handle Suffolk County’s freeze-thaw cycles, coastal moisture, and summer heat without failing.
The difference is proper installation. Real flashing systems that don’t deteriorate. Sealing that lasts decades. And the kind of attention to detail that prevents problems before they start.
SkyLuxe Construction Inc has been handling exterior renovations in North Sea and throughout Suffolk County for decades. We know how homes are built here and what it takes to keep them weathertight.
We’re the skylight contractors your neighbors recommend when they want work done right. Fully licensed, insured, and backed by the kind of local reputation you build one satisfied customer at a time.
Every skylight installation comes with our understanding of North Sea’s weather patterns, building codes, and what materials actually last in this climate.
We start by evaluating your roof structure and determining optimal skylight placement. We’re looking at your home’s orientation, existing framing, and how North Sea’s weather will affect long-term performance.
Next comes precision installation. We cut the opening, install structural framing, and apply multiple weather protection layers. Our flashing system uses the VELUX “No Leak” approach with triple-layer protection designed for Suffolk County conditions.
Finally, we complete interior finishing and walk you through everything. You’ll understand how your skylight works, what to expect, and have our contact information for any future questions.

Every skylight installation includes structural assessment, proper framing, multi-layer weather protection, and complete interior finishing. We use materials specifically chosen for Suffolk County’s coastal climate and temperature swings.
You get installation that qualifies for the 26% federal tax credit on energy-efficient improvements. We handle the documentation and ensure your skylight meets all requirements.
In North Sea, that means materials rated for coastal moisture, freeze-thaw cycles, and UV exposure. Our installations account for local conditions, which is why we can guarantee our work with confidence.
Skylight installation in North Sea typically costs $2,500 to $6,000 total. The skylight unit runs $500 to $2,500, while professional installation costs $500 to $1,500, depending on complexity.
Steep roofs, specialty materials, and interior finishing increase costs. Vented skylights with remote controls cost more than fixed units. New roof openings or attic light shafts add to the project scope.
The real value is in installation that lasts. Cheap skylight work leads to expensive leak repairs. We focus on doing it right from the start, which saves money long-term.
Fixed skylights with tempered glass perform best in Suffolk County’s challenging climate. They handle freeze-thaw cycles better and have fewer weather penetration points than opening units.
For ventilation, VELUX venting skylights with proper flashing systems work well. They’re engineered for coastal moisture and temperature swings. Solar-powered models automatically close when rain is detected.
Avoid cheap acrylic skylights – they degrade under Long Island’s intense sun. Quality tempered glass units with UV coatings last 15-20 years, making them the smart choice for North Sea homes.
Leak prevention starts with understanding that most skylight leaks come from component failure, not installation issues. We use VELUX “No Leak” systems with advanced flashing, adhesive underlayment, and secure sealing.
Proper flashing installation is critical for North Sea’s weather patterns. We install step flashing that sheds water effectively and use ice-and-water shield in freeze-prone areas. Every seal point gets attention.
We also position skylights to minimize weather exposure while maximizing light. Proper location plus quality installation simply doesn’t leak – which is why we guarantee our work.
Yes, we regularly install skylights in existing North Sea roofs. The process involves cutting precise openings, installing proper framing, and integrating with your existing roofing materials.
Complexity depends on roof structure and skylight location. Simple installations take one to two days. Light shafts through attics or structural modifications take longer but don’t require major renovation.
We handle permits, material matching, and all installation details. The goal is adding natural light without disrupting your routine or compromising roof integrity.
Properly installed skylights reduce energy costs, especially during North Sea’s long winters. Natural light means less artificial lighting, and passive solar heating reduces heating costs when positioned correctly.
Strategic placement matters. South-facing skylights provide winter heating benefits. North-facing units give consistent light without overheating. Low-E coatings let light in while reflecting heat.
You may qualify for the 26% federal tax credit for energy-efficient skylights. Combined with reduced utility bills, payback typically occurs within 5-7 years for quality installations.
Quality skylights with professional installation last 15-20 years in Suffolk County’s climate. Premium brands use tempered glass that resists impact and UV coatings that prevent degradation.
Installation quality matters more than brand. Proper flashing, adequate sealing, and weather protection determine whether your skylight lasts decades or fails within years.
We see 25+ year old skylights still performing well because they were installed correctly. Annual maintenance – cleaning debris and checking seals – extends lifespan even further.
