You wake up to rooms flooded with natural light instead of reaching for light switches. Your energy bills drop as you rely less on artificial lighting during the day. The spaces that used to feel cramped and dark now feel open and welcoming.
That’s what happens when skylights are installed correctly. Your home feels bigger, brighter, and more comfortable. You get the ventilation benefits in kitchens and bathrooms where moisture used to be a problem.
The difference isn’t just aesthetic—it’s practical. You’re living in a home that works better for your daily life.
We’ve been serving Suffolk County families for decades, and we’ve learned something important: most skylight problems come from poor installation, not poor products.
That’s why we focus on the details other contractors skip. Proper flashing. Precise measurements. Quality materials from trusted manufacturers like Velux. Every skylight installation gets personal oversight from our experienced team.
We’re not the cheapest option in Poquott—and that’s a good thing. You’re investing in fewer callbacks, no surprise leaks, and skylights that perform exactly as promised for years to come.
First, we assess your roof structure and discuss placement options that maximize light without creating heat or glare problems. We measure precisely and order the right skylight for your specific application.
Installation day starts with protecting your home’s interior and carefully cutting the roof opening. We install proper flashing systems—the critical step most contractors rush. Then we mount the skylight unit and seal everything according to manufacturer specifications.
Finally, we complete any interior finishing work and conduct a thorough inspection. You get a walkthrough explaining how your new skylight operates and what to expect. No surprises, no shortcuts, no callbacks for leaks six months later.

Every skylight installation includes professional-grade flashing systems designed for Long Island’s weather patterns. We use Velux and other premium manufacturers because they back their products with real warranties.
You get options: fixed skylights for maximum light, vented models for bathrooms and kitchens, or tubular skylights for smaller spaces. All installations include proper insulation work to prevent condensation and energy loss.
Suffolk County homes face specific challenges—coastal humidity, temperature swings, and intense summer sun. We account for these factors in every installation, ensuring your skylight performs well year-round without the common problems that plague poorly installed units.
Skylight installation costs in Poquott typically range from $1,500 to $3,500, depending on the size, type, and complexity of your installation. Fixed skylights are generally less expensive than vented models, and tubular skylights cost less than traditional skylights.
The final price includes the skylight unit, professional installation, flashing materials, and any interior finishing work needed. We provide detailed estimates upfront so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
Factors that affect cost include roof accessibility, the need for structural modifications, and the specific skylight features you choose. We’ll assess your situation and provide an accurate quote based on your home’s requirements.
Properly installed skylights with quality flashing systems rarely leak. Most skylight leaks result from poor installation practices—rushed flashing work, incorrect sealing, or using substandard materials.
We install comprehensive flashing systems designed specifically for your roof type and local weather conditions. Every seal point gets attention, and we use materials rated for Long Island’s climate challenges.
Our installations come with warranties on both materials and workmanship. If a leak develops due to installation issues, we return to fix it at no charge. That’s confidence in our installation process.
Yes, most existing roofs can accommodate skylights without major structural changes. We carefully assess your roof’s framing and determine the best placement options that work with your current structure.
The installation process involves cutting a precise opening and installing proper support framing if needed. Most installations are completed in one day with minimal disruption to your home’s interior.
We handle all aspects including roof penetration, weatherproofing, and interior finishing. You don’t need separate contractors for different parts of the job—we manage the complete installation from start to finish.
Fixed skylights provide natural light but don’t open, making them ideal for living rooms, bedrooms, and areas where you want maximum light without ventilation needs. They’re typically less expensive and have fewer potential leak points.
Vented skylights can open to provide airflow, making them perfect for bathrooms, kitchens, and areas where moisture control matters. They’re available with manual operation or electric motors for remote control.
Both types offer energy efficiency benefits, but vented skylights provide additional comfort advantages in humid spaces. We help you choose the right type based on each room’s specific needs and your budget considerations.
Quality skylights with professional installation typically last 15-20 years or more with minimal maintenance. The key factors are proper installation, quality materials, and appropriate maintenance over time.
Velux and other premium manufacturers offer warranties up to 10 years on their products. Our installation warranties cover workmanship issues that might develop during the first few years after installation.
Regular maintenance includes occasional cleaning and checking seals, but well-installed skylights require very little attention. We provide maintenance guidelines to help you get maximum life from your investment.
Yes, strategically placed skylights can reduce energy costs by decreasing your reliance on artificial lighting during daylight hours. Vented skylights also provide natural cooling in summer by allowing hot air to escape.
The energy savings depend on skylight placement, your home’s orientation, and local climate conditions. South-facing skylights provide more winter heat gain, while north-facing units offer consistent light without excessive heat.
Modern energy-efficient skylights with Low-E coatings help minimize heat transfer while maximizing light transmission. We help you choose placement and features that optimize energy performance for your specific situation.
