You get rooms that feel twice as large with natural light streaming in from above. No more flipping switches during the day or dealing with that cramped, cave-like feeling in hallways and bathrooms.
Your energy bills drop immediately. When sunlight handles the lighting, your electricity meter slows down. Many Quiogue homeowners see noticeable savings within the first month.
The air quality improves too. Ventilating skylights let stale air escape while fresh air flows in, eliminating that stuffy atmosphere that builds up in closed spaces. Your home breathes better, and so do you.
SkyLuxe Construction brings decades of exterior home improvement experience specifically to Suffolk County properties. We understand how Long Island’s weather patterns affect skylight performance, from nor’easters to summer humidity.
Our team has installed hundreds of skylights across Quiogue and surrounding areas. We know which materials hold up against coastal winds and which installation techniques prevent the leaks that plague poorly installed units.
Every skylight installation includes our leak-free guarantee because we’ve seen too many homeowners dealing with water damage from contractors who cut corners. We don’t.
First, we assess your roof structure and determine the optimal skylight placement for maximum light while maintaining structural integrity. We measure everything twice and account for electrical, plumbing, or ductwork in the area.
Next comes the precision cutting and framing. We create the roof opening with surgical accuracy, then install the skylight unit with proper flashing and weatherproofing. Every seal gets tested before we move to the next step.
Finally, we complete the interior finishing work and conduct a thorough inspection. You get a detailed walkthrough showing exactly what we’ve done and how to maintain your new skylight for years of leak-free performance.

Your skylight installation includes premium Velux units designed specifically for Long Island’s climate conditions. These aren’t the basic models you’ll find at big box stores – they’re engineered for durability and energy efficiency.
We handle all the technical aspects: proper flashing installation, weatherproofing, interior trim work, and cleanup. The installation meets all Suffolk County building codes and comes with manufacturer warranties plus our workmanship guarantee.
Quiogue’s coastal location means your skylight faces salt air, high winds, and temperature swings. We select materials and use installation techniques that account for these specific challenges, ensuring your investment performs reliably year after year.
Skylight installation in Quiogue typically ranges from $1,000 to $4,000 depending on the size, type, and complexity of the installation. A basic fixed skylight runs around $1,000-$2,000 installed, while ventilating or solar-powered units cost $2,500-$4,000.
The final cost depends on your roof pitch, whether we need to modify framing, and which skylight features you choose. We provide detailed estimates upfront so you know exactly what you’re investing in.
Most homeowners recoup their skylight installation costs through energy savings within 3-5 years, making it one of the most cost-effective home improvements you can make.
Not when installed properly by experienced professionals. Skylight leaks happen because of poor flashing installation, inadequate weatherproofing, or using inferior materials that can’t handle coastal weather conditions.
We use premium flashing systems and weatherproofing techniques specifically designed for Long Island’s challenging climate. Every seal is tested and backed by our leak-free guarantee.
The key is proper installation from the start. Fixing a leaky skylight later costs more than doing it right the first time, which is why we never cut corners on materials or installation techniques.
For most Quiogue homes, we recommend ventilating skylights that can open to release hot air and humidity. Long Island’s humid summers make ventilation crucial for maintaining comfortable indoor conditions.
Fixed skylights work well for areas where you just want maximum light, like hallways or staircases. Tubular skylights are perfect for smaller spaces like bathrooms or closets where a full-size unit won’t fit.
The best choice depends on your room’s purpose, roof structure, and personal preferences. We’ll assess your specific situation and recommend the skylight type that delivers the results you want.
Most skylight installations take 4-6 hours for a straightforward installation on an existing roof. If we need to modify framing or work around electrical and plumbing, it might take a full day.
We complete the exterior work first to minimize weather exposure, then handle interior finishing. Weather delays are rare since we monitor forecasts carefully and schedule accordingly.
The timeline also depends on permit requirements. Suffolk County typically processes skylight permits within a few days, and we handle all the paperwork to keep your project moving smoothly.
Yes, Suffolk County requires building permits for most skylight installations since they involve structural modifications to your roof. The permit ensures the installation meets local building codes and safety requirements.
We handle the entire permit process for you, including submitting plans, scheduling inspections, and ensuring everything meets code requirements. This protects you from potential issues if you ever sell your home.
Skipping permits might save money upfront, but it creates problems later during home sales or insurance claims. We always pull proper permits to protect your investment and ensure legal compliance.
Skylights in coastal areas need regular cleaning and inspection to handle salt air and weather exposure. We recommend cleaning the glass twice yearly and checking seals and flashing annually.
The good news is that properly installed skylights require minimal maintenance. Premium units like Velux skylights are designed to withstand coastal conditions with minimal upkeep beyond basic cleaning.
We provide maintenance guidelines and can schedule annual inspections if you prefer professional oversight. Catching small issues early prevents major problems and extends your skylight’s lifespan significantly.
