You get natural light flooding your rooms without the constant worry about water damage or drafts. Your home feels more open and welcoming while your electricity bills drop from reduced need for artificial lighting during the day.
Proper skylight installation means no more ceiling stains, no more buckets during storms, and no more wondering if you made the right choice. You’ll have reliable natural light that enhances your daily life instead of creating problems.
The energy efficiency improvements start immediately, and the increased home value becomes apparent when neighbors start asking about your beautiful new skylights.
SkyLuxe Construction has been serving Port Jefferson Station and surrounding Suffolk County communities for decades, specializing in exterior home improvements that actually last. We understand the unique challenges of Long Island weather and how it affects skylight performance.
Our team focuses exclusively on residential work in Suffolk County, which means we know exactly what local homeowners need. We’ve seen every type of roof configuration and weather pattern this area can throw at us.
As a licensed and insured local company, we’ve built our reputation on doing the job right the first time, with transparent communication and the kind of attention to detail that keeps customers recommending us to their neighbors.
We start with a thorough roof inspection to determine the best placement and assess any structural considerations. This isn’t a quick look-over – we examine your roof deck, existing flashing, and interior ceiling structure to ensure everything will work together perfectly.
Next comes precise measurement and material selection. We help you choose the right skylight type and size for your specific needs, whether that’s a fixed unit for consistent lighting or a vented model for improved airflow in kitchens and bathrooms.
The installation involves careful roof cutting, proper framing, and most importantly, professional-grade flashing installation. This is where most skylight problems start, so we use premium materials and proven techniques that handle Suffolk County’s weather extremes. We complete all interior finishing work and test everything before considering the job done.

Our skylight installation service includes everything from initial consultation through final cleanup. You get professional-grade flashing, proper insulation, quality weatherstripping, and interior finishing that matches your existing ceiling.
We work with leading skylight brands like Velux and offer various options including fixed skylights for consistent lighting, vented units for improved airflow, and energy-efficient models that help reduce heating and cooling costs year-round.
In Port Jefferson Station’s climate, proper installation is critical. We use techniques specifically designed for Long Island’s weather patterns, including our advanced flashing systems that handle everything from heavy spring rains to winter ice buildup. Every installation comes with comprehensive warranty coverage and ongoing support.
Skylight installation typically ranges from $2,500 to $6,000 in the Port Jefferson Station area, depending on the type of skylight, roof complexity, and interior finishing requirements. Fixed skylights are the most affordable option, while vented or solar-powered models cost more due to added functionality.
The total cost includes the skylight unit, professional installation, flashing, interior work like drywall and painting, and all materials needed for a complete installation. We provide detailed written estimates that break down every component, so you know exactly what you’re paying for with no surprise charges.
Fixed skylights don’t open but provide consistent natural light and are ideal for areas like hallways, living rooms, or stairwells where ventilation isn’t the primary concern. They’re the most cost-effective option and require less maintenance since there are no moving parts.
Vented skylights can be opened to allow fresh air circulation, making them perfect for kitchens, bathrooms, or any space that benefits from improved airflow. They’re available with manual operation or electric controls, and many electric models include rain sensors that automatically close the skylight when moisture is detected.
The choice depends on your specific needs – if you primarily want natural light, fixed skylights work great. If you also want ventilation benefits, especially in areas prone to humidity or cooking odors, vented skylights are worth the extra investment.
Proper flashing installation is the key to preventing leaks, and it’s where we see most other installers cut corners. We use step flashing, continuous flashing, and premium sealants specifically designed for Long Island’s weather extremes, from heavy spring storms to winter freeze-thaw cycles.
Our installation process includes creating proper drainage channels, ensuring adequate roof deck preparation, and using multiple layers of protection around the skylight opening. We also pay special attention to the interior vapor barrier to prevent condensation issues that can mimic leaks.
We test every installation thoroughly before completion and provide specific warranty coverage for leak-free performance. Most skylight leaks aren’t actually from the skylight itself – they’re from improper flashing installation, which is why we focus so heavily on getting this critical step right.
Yes, we regularly install skylights on existing roofs without requiring major structural changes. The key is proper assessment of your current roof structure, including rafter spacing, roof deck condition, and interior ceiling configuration.
Most residential roofs in Port Jefferson Station can accommodate skylight installation with minimal modifications. We carefully cut the roof opening, add any necessary framing support, and integrate the new skylight with your existing roofing materials and interior ceiling.
The process typically takes 1-2 days for a standard installation, and we handle all aspects including roof work, interior finishing, and cleanup. While it’s always most cost-effective to install skylights during a roof replacement, adding them to an existing roof is definitely feasible and commonly done.
Properly installed skylights require minimal maintenance, mainly consisting of periodic cleaning and annual inspection of seals and flashing. We recommend cleaning the glass surface twice yearly and checking for any debris buildup around the flashing area.
The most important maintenance task is ensuring gutters and roof drainage systems function properly, as standing water around skylights can eventually cause problems. We also suggest having the flashing and seals inspected annually, especially after severe weather events.
Most of our skylight installations come with warranties that cover both the skylight unit and our installation work. We provide specific maintenance guidelines for your particular installation and are always available for questions or service calls if you notice any issues.
Most skylight installations are completed in 1-2 days, depending on the complexity of the job and weather conditions. Simple fixed skylight installations on standard roof configurations can often be finished in a single day, while vented skylights or installations requiring extensive interior work may take longer.
The timeline includes roof preparation, skylight installation, flashing work, interior finishing, and final cleanup. We schedule installations during favorable weather conditions and always protect your home’s interior during the process using tarps and temporary coverings.
We provide a detailed timeline during the estimate process and keep you informed of progress throughout the installation. Our goal is to complete your project efficiently while maintaining the quality standards that ensure your skylight performs perfectly for years to come.
