Your electricity bills drop the moment we finish your skylight installation. Natural light floods rooms that used to need lamps during the day. You’ll notice the difference in your first month’s energy bill.
ENERGY STAR certified skylights can reduce your heating and cooling costs by up to 13% nationwide. That’s real money back in your pocket, year after year. Plus, your home value increases with this desirable feature that buyers actively seek.
The health benefits start immediately too. Natural light boosts your mood, improves focus, and helps regulate your sleep cycle. Dark hallways, cramped bathrooms, and dim kitchens become bright, inviting spaces.
SkyLuxe Construction Inc has served Suffolk County homeowners for years, specializing in residential exterior improvements. We understand Port Jefferson’s coastal weather patterns and architectural styles better than contractors from outside the area.
Our team knows which skylight brands perform best in Long Island’s climate. We’ve seen what works and what fails when winter storms hit or summer humidity builds up. That local knowledge protects your investment.
Every skylight installation comes with our leak-free guarantee. We use premium materials from trusted manufacturers like Velux, and we back our work with comprehensive warranties that give you real peace of mind.
We start with a thorough assessment of your roof structure and the rooms you want to brighten. Our team identifies the optimal placement for maximum light while ensuring proper structural support and weatherproofing.
Next, we handle all permits and coordinate the installation timeline around your schedule. We protect your home’s interior during the entire process, using tarps and weatherproofing to prevent any water damage.
The installation itself typically takes one day for most residential skylights. We cut the roof opening, install proper flashing and sealing, mount the skylight unit, and complete any interior finishing work. You’ll have natural light flowing into your space immediately, with no mess left behind.

Today’s skylights aren’t like the leaky units from decades past. We install ENERGY STAR certified models with Low-E glass, insulated glazing, and advanced weatherproofing that actually improves your home’s energy efficiency.
Port Jefferson’s coastal location means your skylights need to handle salt air, winter storms, and summer humidity. We select materials specifically rated for marine environments and back everything with manufacturer warranties plus our own workmanship guarantee.
Venting skylights provide natural ventilation that’s especially valuable in Suffolk County’s humid summers. They release hot air that accumulates near your ceiling, reducing strain on your air conditioning system. Fixed skylights maximize light while maintaining tight thermal performance for year-round comfort.
Skylight installation in Suffolk County typically ranges from $1,000 to $6,000, depending on the size, type, and complexity of your project. Fixed skylights start around $1,000-$3,000 installed, while venting or solar-powered units run $3,000-$6,000+.
The final cost depends on your roof type, interior finishing requirements, and skylight features. Asphalt shingle roofs are straightforward to work with, while tile or slate adds complexity and cost. If you want finished drywall and trim work around the skylight opening, that increases the total investment.
We provide detailed written estimates that break down all costs upfront. No surprises, no hidden fees. Many customers find the energy savings and home value increase justify the investment within a few years.
Not when installed properly by experienced professionals. Modern skylights with correct flashing and sealing systems are designed to handle coastal conditions including salt air, wind-driven rain, and temperature fluctuations.
The key is proper installation technique and quality materials. We use step flashing, ice and water shield, and premium sealants specifically rated for marine environments. Our leak-free guarantee backs up our confidence in the installation process.
Most skylight leaks happen because of poor installation, not product failure. Damaged flashing, inadequate sealing, or shortcuts during installation create problems. That’s why choosing an experienced local contractor who understands Suffolk County’s weather patterns makes all the difference.
Most residential skylight installations take one full day to complete. We arrive early, protect your home’s interior, and typically finish by late afternoon with full cleanup.
Larger projects or complex roof structures might extend to two days. If you’re adding multiple skylights or need extensive interior finishing work, we’ll give you an accurate timeline during the initial consultation.
Weather can affect scheduling, especially during Port Jefferson’s winter months. We monitor forecasts closely and reschedule if conditions aren’t safe for roof work. Your home’s protection is more important than rushing to meet a deadline.
Yes, when properly selected and installed. ENERGY STAR certified skylights can reduce heating and cooling costs by up to 13% according to Department of Energy data. The natural light eliminates daytime artificial lighting needs, and passive solar heating helps during cooler months.
In Suffolk County’s climate, strategic skylight placement provides winter warmth and summer ventilation. South-facing units capture maximum winter sun, while venting skylights release hot air during humid summer months, reducing air conditioning load.
The energy savings add up over time. Most homeowners see noticeable reductions in their first utility bills after installation. Combined with increased home value and improved living comfort, skylights typically pay for themselves within 5-7 years.
It depends on your specific room and goals. Fixed skylights maximize energy efficiency and are perfect for living rooms, dining areas, or bedrooms where you want consistent natural light without ventilation.
Venting skylights work best in kitchens, bathrooms, and other areas where moisture control matters. They provide natural ventilation that’s especially valuable during Suffolk County’s humid summers, helping prevent mold and improving air quality.
For tight spaces like hallways or closets, tubular skylights channel light through reflective tubes without major roof modifications. We evaluate your home’s layout, roof structure, and your specific needs to recommend the optimal solution for each space.
Solar-powered skylights and certain energy-efficient models may qualify for federal tax credits up to 30% of the installation cost. The specific eligibility depends on the skylight type and energy efficiency ratings.
ENERGY STAR certified skylights often qualify for utility rebates or local energy efficiency programs. We stay current on available incentives and help you understand which options apply to your specific installation.
The tax credit landscape changes regularly, so we recommend consulting with your tax professional about current eligibility. We provide all documentation needed to support any credit applications, including manufacturer specifications and installation certifications.
