We’ve been serving Suffolk County families for decades, bringing traditional craftsmanship and modern skylight installation techniques to Northville, NY homeowners. We’re not the fly-by-night contractors who disappear after the job—we’re your neighbors.
Our family-owned business understands what Suffolk County weather can do to improperly installed skylights. We’ve seen the water damage from hurricane-force winds, the ceiling stains from ice dams, and the frustration that comes from choosing the lowest bidder.
That’s why we use premium materials, proper flashing systems, and installation methods that account for Long Island’s coastal climate. When we’re done, you get a skylight that enhances your home instead of threatening it every time storm clouds gather.

Next, we carefully cut the roof opening, install proper flashing systems, and mount your skylight using techniques that prevent future leaks.
