Walk into rooms that suddenly feel twice as big. Natural light streams in where artificial bulbs used to struggle, and your electricity bill drops noticeably within the first month.
Your home breathes better too. Properly installed skylights improve air circulation, reduce humidity in bathrooms, and eliminate that stuffy feeling in interior spaces. No more running fans constantly or dealing with moisture buildup.
The transformation goes beyond comfort – your property value increases while you enjoy better indoor air quality and a genuine connection to the outdoors that regular windows simply can’t match.
We aren’t just another contractor calling you back three weeks later. We’re a family business that’s been perfecting exterior renovations in Suffolk County for decades.
We know Shirley’s housing stock – those 1960s ranches, 70s colonials, and newer constructions that each present unique installation challenges. Our team has navigated Suffolk County’s permitting process hundreds of times and understands exactly what inspectors look for.
Every skylight installation gets personal oversight from our licensed, insured professionals. When problems arise (and they sometimes do), we’re still here. That’s the difference between working with a local family business versus fly-by-night contractors.
We start by thoroughly inspecting your roof structure and discussing your specific goals. Not every location works for skylights, and we’ll tell you honestly what will and won’t work in your home.
The critical phase is skylight flashing installation – where most contractors fail. We use professional-grade, multi-layer flashing systems designed for Long Island’s freeze-thaw cycles. This isn’t the cheap stuff that fails after two winters.
After precise cutting and structural reinforcement, we install your skylight with weatherproof sealing that actually works. We complete all interior finishing, clean up completely, and walk through operation and maintenance with you before considering the job done.

Every installation includes professional-grade flashing, proper insulation, and multi-layer weatherproof sealing. We use skylights specifically rated for Long Island’s climate extremes – summer heat, winter ice, and everything between.
In Shirley, where many homes have older roof structures, we often reinforce framing and update insulation to current energy codes. We handle Suffolk County permits, inspections, and any structural modifications required for safe installation.
Your investment is protected with our comprehensive warranty covering materials, workmanship, and leak prevention. We also provide maintenance guidance specific to Suffolk County’s weather patterns – helping you avoid the expensive problems that plague poorly installed skylights.
Professional skylight installation in Shirley typically runs $2,200 to $3,000, depending on skylight type, roof complexity, and structural requirements. This includes the unit, expert installation, proper flashing, and Suffolk County permits.
Fixed skylights cost less than venting models. Tubular skylights are most economical for smaller spaces like hallways. Energy-efficient models with Low-E coatings cost more upfront but deliver better long-term savings.
We provide detailed written estimates breaking down all costs – no surprises or hidden fees. The investment pays for itself through energy savings and increased home value over time.
Not when installed by licensed professionals using proper techniques. Leaks happen when contractors skip critical waterproofing steps or use substandard materials.
We use multi-layer flashing systems and premium sealants designed for Long Island’s weather extremes. Our installation process includes step-by-step waterproofing that prevents infiltration during heavy storms, ice dams, and freeze-thaw cycles.
Every installation comes with our leak-free warranty. We’ve installed hundreds of skylights across Suffolk County using proven methods that eliminate water intrusion problems.
For most Shirley homes, we recommend double-paned, energy-efficient skylights with Low-E coatings. These handle our climate while maximizing energy savings and preventing condensation issues.
Venting skylights excel in bathrooms and kitchens where moisture control matters. Fixed skylights work perfectly in living areas where you want maximum light. Tubular skylights are ideal for interior spaces without direct roof access.
The right choice depends on your room’s purpose, roof structure, and energy goals. We’ll assess your specific situation and recommend the optimal solution during our free consultation.
Most residential installations in Shirley take one to two days, depending on roof accessibility and structural modifications needed. Straightforward installations on accessible roofs often complete in a single day.
We work efficiently to minimize disruption to your routine. Interior finishing typically happens the same day as roof work – you won’t have an open ceiling overnight.
Weather delays are possible during winter months, but we communicate any changes immediately and ensure your home stays protected throughout the entire process.
Yes, Suffolk County requires building permits for skylight installation, and we handle all applications and inspections. This ensures code compliance and protects your home insurance coverage.
Permits typically take 1-2 weeks to process, which we coordinate before scheduling installation. We’re familiar with Suffolk County requirements and have established relationships with local building departments.
Skipping permits can result in fines and insurance issues. Our licensed team ensures everything meets code requirements from application to final inspection.
Properly installed energy-efficient skylights reduce lighting costs by 30-50% during daylight hours. In Shirley’s climate, you’ll also see heating savings as natural light provides passive solar warming.
Modern skylights with Low-E coatings prevent heat loss in winter while reducing cooling costs in summer. Proper sizing and placement are crucial – we’ll calculate the optimal configuration for maximum efficiency.
Most Shirley clients notice lower electricity bills within the first month. Combined with increased home value, skylights rank among the most cost-effective home improvements available.
