You’re tired of dark rooms that need lights on all day. You want natural light without the headache of leaks, drafts, or sky-high repair bills down the road.
Here’s what changes when your skylight is installed correctly. Your electric bill drops because you’re using up to five times less artificial lighting during the day. Rooms feel bigger and more welcoming. Bathrooms get proper ventilation that actually prevents moisture buildup. And you stop worrying about water damage because the flashing and sealing work the way they should.
The difference isn’t just the skylight itself—it’s having someone who knows how Suffolk County weather affects installations and what it takes to make them last.
We aren’t just another contractor passing through Noyack. We’re a family-owned business that’s been transforming Suffolk County homes for years, and we understand what works here.
Our team knows how Long Island’s weather patterns affect skylight installations. We’ve seen what happens when corners are cut, and we’ve fixed plenty of jobs that weren’t done right the first time. That’s why we focus on proper flashing installation, quality materials, and the kind of attention to detail that prevents problems before they start.
When you work with us, you’re getting contractors who live and work in this community—people who care about our reputation and stand behind our work long after the job is finished.
First, we assess your roof structure and determine the best placement for maximum light while maintaining structural integrity. We consider factors like roof slope, existing rafters, and how the skylight will integrate with your current roofing system.
Next comes the precision work. We cut the roof opening, frame it properly, and install the skylight with professional-grade flashing that creates a watertight seal. The interior finishing includes drywall work and trim that matches your home’s existing style.
Throughout the process, we protect your belongings and clean up completely each day. You’ll know exactly what’s happening and when, with no surprises on timeline or cost. The result is a skylight that brings in natural light reliably, without the leaks or maintenance headaches that come from rushed installations.

Your skylight installation includes everything needed for a complete, leak-free result. We provide the skylight unit, professional flashing, proper insulation, and interior finishing work. All materials meet Suffolk County building codes and manufacturer specifications.
In Noyack’s coastal climate, proper sealing is critical. We use step flashing and continuous flashing systems designed to handle Long Island’s weather patterns, from winter freeze-thaw cycles to summer storms. The installation includes vapor barriers and insulation to prevent condensation issues that plague poorly installed skylights.
You also get our workmanship guarantee and help with any permit requirements. We coordinate with local building departments and handle inspections, so you don’t have to navigate the paperwork yourself. The goal is a skylight that performs reliably for decades, not just the first few years.
Skylight installation in Noyack typically ranges from $2,500 to $6,000, depending on the size, type, and complexity of your roof. Fixed skylights are the most affordable option, while vented or electric skylights cost more due to additional features and installation requirements.
The total cost includes the skylight unit, professional flashing, interior finishing, and labor. Factors that affect price include roof pitch, accessibility, the need for structural modifications, and whether you want features like blinds or rain sensors. We provide detailed estimates that break down all costs upfront, so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
Keep in mind that investing in proper installation now prevents expensive repairs later. Poor installations often lead to leak damage that can cost thousands to fix, making professional installation the smart financial choice.
For Suffolk County’s climate, we typically recommend Velux skylights for their proven durability and weather resistance. Fixed skylights work well for spaces that need light without ventilation, like hallways or living rooms. Vented skylights are ideal for bathrooms and kitchens where moisture control matters.
In coastal areas like Noyack, we often suggest skylights with low-E glass and proper insulation to handle temperature fluctuations. Solar-powered models with rain sensors are popular because they automatically close during storms, preventing water intrusion. The key is matching the skylight type to your specific room needs and local weather conditions.
We’ll assess your home’s orientation, roof structure, and intended use to recommend the best option. Some homes benefit from multiple smaller skylights rather than one large unit, depending on the room layout and structural considerations.
Leak prevention starts with proper flashing installation, which is the most critical part of any skylight job. We use step flashing along the sides and continuous flashing at the head and sill, creating multiple layers of protection against water intrusion. Each piece overlaps correctly and integrates with your existing roof system.
We also pay close attention to the roof deck preparation, ensuring it’s structurally sound and properly sealed before the skylight goes in. The skylight itself gets sealed with high-quality sealants designed for Long Island’s weather conditions, including freeze-thaw cycles that can compromise inferior materials.
Interior vapor barriers prevent condensation issues that can mimic leaks. We test the installation thoroughly before finishing the interior work, and our installations come with a workmanship guarantee. Proper installation techniques, not shortcuts, are what prevent the leak problems that plague many skylight installations.
Yes, most existing roofs can accommodate skylight installation without major structural changes. The key is proper planning and assessment of your roof’s framing and condition. We evaluate the existing rafters, roof deck, and overall structure to determine the best approach.
In many cases, we can work within the existing rafter spacing to minimize structural modifications. When framing changes are needed, we handle them as part of the installation process, ensuring everything meets building codes. The roof age and condition matter—if your roof needs replacement soon, it’s often more cost-effective to coordinate both projects.
We also consider factors like electrical routing for vented skylights and interior access for finishing work. Most installations can be completed in one to two days, depending on the complexity and weather conditions. The goal is adding natural light with minimal disruption to your daily routine.
Well-installed skylights can significantly reduce energy costs, especially during Long Island’s long winter months. Natural light reduces the need for artificial lighting during the day, and quality skylights with low-E glass provide solar heat gain that helps with heating costs.
Vented skylights offer additional savings by providing natural ventilation during warmer months, reducing air conditioning needs. The key is proper sizing and placement—skylights should be no more than 5-15% of the room’s floor area to avoid overheating in summer while maximizing winter benefits.
Energy efficiency depends heavily on installation quality. Poor installations with air leaks actually increase energy costs through heat loss and drafts. That’s why professional installation with proper insulation and sealing is crucial for realizing energy savings. Many homeowners see noticeable reductions in their electric bills within the first month after installation.
Properly installed skylights require minimal maintenance, but regular care extends their lifespan and prevents problems. We recommend cleaning the glass twice yearly and checking the surrounding flashing for any debris or damage, especially after storms.
Keep gutters clean and ensure proper drainage around the skylight area. Remove any leaves or debris that accumulate around the flashing, as these can trap moisture and lead to problems over time. For vented skylights, check that the opening mechanism works smoothly and lubricate hinges if needed.
Most maintenance issues are preventable with proper installation, which is why we focus on quality materials and techniques from the start. We provide maintenance guidelines with every installation and remain available for service calls if you notice any issues. Annual inspections during routine roof maintenance help catch small problems before they become expensive repairs.
