You wake up to natural sunlight streaming through your ceiling. Your electric bill drops because you’re not flipping switches during the day. Your home feels more open, more alive.
That’s what happens when skylights are installed correctly the first time. No dripping. No drafts. No regrets about choosing the wrong contractor.
The difference between a skylight that enhances your home and one that becomes a headache comes down to installation quality. Proper flashing. Correct mounting. Understanding how Suffolk County weather affects your roof.
SkyLuxe Construction isn’t just another contractor. We’re a family business with decades of exterior renovation experience right here in Suffolk County.
We’ve seen what happens when skylights are installed by contractors who don’t understand Long Island weather patterns. We’ve fixed the leaks, replaced the damaged flashing, and rebuilt homeowner confidence in Rocky Point and surrounding areas.
Every skylight installation gets personal oversight from our team. We combine traditional craftsmanship with modern energy-efficient techniques because your home deserves both durability and performance.
First, we assess your roof structure and determine the ideal skylight placement for maximum light and minimal heat gain. This isn’t guesswork – it’s based on your home’s orientation, roof slope, and your specific lighting goals.
Next comes the precision work. We cut the opening, frame it to building code standards, and install the skylight with proper step flashing and continuous flashing. Every seal gets tested before we consider the job complete.
If you’re adding a skylight to a room with an attic above, we build a light shaft that channels sunlight efficiently while maintaining your home’s insulation integrity. The interior finishing work ensures everything looks intentional, not like an afterthought.

Your skylight installation includes premium materials designed for Suffolk County’s climate. We use double-pane, energy-efficient glass with Low-E coatings that let light in while keeping heat transfer to a minimum.
The flashing system is engineered for Long Island’s weather patterns – from summer storms to winter freeze-thaw cycles. Step flashing, continuous flashing, and proper sealing work together to create a watertight barrier that lasts.
Rocky Point homeowners also benefit from our understanding of local building codes and permit requirements. We handle the paperwork, ensure compliance, and provide documentation for your records. Your installation comes with both manufacturer warranties and our commitment to quality workmanship.
Skylight installation costs in Rocky Point typically range from $1,200 to $3,500, depending on the type and size you choose. Fixed skylights start around $1,200, while venting skylights with remote controls can reach $3,500.
The total cost includes the skylight unit, professional installation, proper flashing materials, and any necessary interior finishing work. We provide detailed estimates that break down every cost so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
Remember that quality installation prevents expensive repairs later. A properly installed skylight can last 20+ years, while poor installation often leads to leak repairs within the first few years.
Not when it’s installed correctly with proper flashing and sealing. Skylight leaks almost always result from installation mistakes, not the skylight itself.
We use a comprehensive flashing system that includes step flashing around the sides, continuous flashing at the head and sill, and multiple layers of water-resistant barriers. This creates redundant protection against Suffolk County’s heavy rains and snow loads.
Our installation process also accounts for thermal expansion and contraction that occurs with Long Island’s temperature swings. The sealing materials we use maintain flexibility through these cycles, preventing gaps that could allow water infiltration.
Yes, we regularly install skylights in existing homes throughout Rocky Point and Suffolk County. The process involves cutting through your existing roof and ceiling, then properly framing and sealing the opening.
For rooms with attics above, we build a light shaft that channels natural light from the roof to your living space. This requires careful planning to avoid structural elements and maintain your home’s insulation performance.
We handle all aspects including permits, structural assessment, installation, and interior finishing. Most residential skylight installations are completed in one to two days, depending on the complexity of your roof structure and interior work required.
For Suffolk County’s climate, we recommend double-pane skylights with Low-E glass coatings. These provide excellent insulation while allowing maximum natural light transmission.
Venting skylights work particularly well in bathrooms and kitchens where moisture control is important. They can release humid air during summer months and provide passive solar heating in winter when kept closed.
Fixed skylights are ideal for living rooms and bedrooms where you want consistent natural light without the complexity of moving parts. Both types perform well in Long Island weather when installed with proper flashing and high-quality sealing materials.
Most residential skylight installations in Rocky Point are completed in one to two days. Simple fixed skylights on accessible roofs typically take one day, while venting skylights or installations requiring light shafts may take two days.
The timeline depends on your roof structure, the type of skylight chosen, and interior finishing requirements. We schedule installations during favorable weather conditions to ensure proper sealing and protect your home’s interior.
We provide a detailed timeline during your estimate so you can plan accordingly. Our team works efficiently while maintaining the quality standards that prevent callbacks and ensure long-term performance.
Yes, properly installed energy-efficient skylights can reduce your utility bills by up to 13% according to Department of Energy studies. The savings come from reduced artificial lighting needs and passive solar heating in winter months.
Modern skylights with Low-E coatings and proper installation actually improve your home’s energy performance. They let natural light in while blocking heat transfer, reducing the load on your HVAC system year-round.
For Rocky Point homeowners, the combination of reduced electric bills and improved comfort typically pays for the skylight installation within 5-7 years. The energy savings continue for the life of the skylight, making it a smart long-term investment.
