Your home becomes brighter, more energy-efficient, and more valuable. No more turning on lights during the day in rooms that should be naturally lit. No more stuffy spaces that need constant air conditioning.
Professional installation means proper flashing, weatherproofing, and structural integration. You get the natural light you want without the leaks you fear. The difference between amateur and expert installation shows up in your electric bill and your peace of mind.
The right skylight in the right spot transforms how your home feels and functions. More comfortable temperatures, lower utility bills, and spaces that actually feel like home.
We’ve been serving Suffolk County homeowners for decades, specializing in exterior home improvements that matter. We’re the local contractor who understands how Long Island weather affects your home – from salt air corrosion to freeze-thaw cycles that destroy poor installations.
Our family-owned business combines traditional craftsmanship with modern installation techniques. Every skylight project gets personal oversight because your satisfaction is our reputation in the community.
We’re licensed, insured, and HomeAdvisor screened. More importantly, we’re your neighbors who take pride in making Suffolk County homes better, one project at a time. When you see our work trucks in Shoreham, you know quality is happening.
First, we evaluate your roof structure and identify the optimal placement for maximum light and minimal heat gain. Placement matters – south-facing skylights can become heat traps in summer if not planned properly. We measure precisely and discuss your preferences and budget upfront.
Next comes the installation. We protect your home, cut the opening with precision, and install your skylight using industry best practices. Proper flashing and weatherproofing ensure long-term performance. This is where most contractors cut corners – we don’t.
Finally, we handle all interior work, seal everything properly, and clean up completely. You’re left with a beautiful skylight that works perfectly from day one. Most installations take 1-2 days, depending on complexity and roof access.
You get a detailed walkthrough when we’re done, plus our commitment to stand behind our work.

Every skylight installation includes professional site evaluation, precise roof cutting, structural framing, weatherproof flashing, and complete interior finishing. We handle permits and ensure code compliance – something many homeowners overlook until inspection time.
In Shoreham and throughout Suffolk County, we deal with specific weather challenges. Salt air, seasonal temperature swings, and heavy storms demand installation techniques that many contractors skip. We don’t. Our installations are built for Long Island conditions.
Your installation includes high-quality materials designed for coastal environments. Energy-efficient glazing options reduce heat gain in summer and heat loss in winter. Proper ventilation options help with humidity control, especially important in areas prone to moisture buildup.
We offer fixed skylights for maximum light, vented skylights for airflow, and solar-powered options for convenience. All installations come with manufacturer warranties and our commitment to leak-free performance. That’s not just a promise – it’s backed by decades of experience and hundreds of satisfied customers.
Skylight installation in Shoreham typically ranges from $1,200 to $4,500, depending on the type, size, and complexity of your roof. Fixed skylights are the most affordable option, while vented or solar-powered units cost more due to additional mechanisms and weatherproofing requirements.
The final cost depends on your roof’s pitch, materials, and any interior work needed. Steep roofs or tile/slate materials add complexity and cost. Most homeowners find the energy savings and increased home value justify the investment within a few years.
We provide detailed estimates that break down all costs upfront. No surprises, no hidden fees. Just honest pricing for quality work that lasts decades, not years.
Not when installed properly by experienced professionals. Leaking is the biggest fear homeowners have about skylights, and it’s usually caused by poor installation or cheap materials. We prevent leaks through proper flashing, high-quality sealants, and installation techniques specifically designed for Suffolk County weather patterns.
Our skylights are tested for Long Island’s coastal conditions, including salt air and seasonal freeze-thaw cycles that destroy inferior installations. We use multi-layer waterproofing and ensure proper drainage around every installation.
We’re so confident in our leak-prevention methods that we guarantee our work. If you experience leaking due to our installation, we fix it at no cost to you. That’s the difference between working with experienced professionals versus general handymen.
Most residential skylight installations take 1-2 days from start to finish. Simple installations on accessible roofs with straightforward interior work can be completed in one day, while complex installations or multiple skylights may take two days.
Weather can affect timing, especially during Long Island’s winter months or storm season. We schedule installations during optimal conditions and keep you informed of any delays. Your safety and quality installation matter more than speed.
The process includes roof preparation, precise cutting, skylight installation, flashing, interior work, and complete cleanup. We work efficiently but never rush quality steps that ensure long-term performance. Better to take an extra day than deal with problems later.
The best skylight depends on your specific room and needs. Fixed skylights work great for areas where you just want more natural light, like hallways or living rooms. They’re the most energy-efficient and cost-effective option for brightening dark spaces.
Vented skylights are ideal for kitchens, bathrooms, and areas where humidity or cooking odors are concerns. They provide natural light plus ventilation, reducing the need for exhaust fans and helping prevent moisture problems common in coastal areas.
For Suffolk County’s climate, we often recommend energy-efficient glazing to minimize heat gain during summer while maximizing light. South and west-facing installations may need additional considerations to prevent overheating during peak summer months.
Absolutely, and it’s often the perfect time to add skylights. When we’re already working on your roof, adding skylights is more cost-effective and ensures seamless integration with your new roofing system. You save money on labor and get better results.
Roof replacement gives us complete access to assess your roof structure and determine the best skylight placement. We can reinforce framing if needed and ensure your new skylights complement your new roof perfectly, both functionally and aesthetically.
Planning skylights during roof replacement also means everything is weatherproofed together as one system. It’s the most efficient approach and often saves homeowners 20-30% compared to separate projects done months apart.
Yes, most skylight installations in Shoreham require building permits, especially when structural modifications are involved. We handle all permit applications and ensure your installation meets local building codes and Suffolk County requirements.
Suffolk County has specific requirements for skylight installations, including structural considerations, energy efficiency standards, and proper flashing details. Our experience with local regulations ensures smooth permit approval and proper inspections without delays.
Working with a licensed contractor like us means you’re covered for permit compliance, code adherence, and proper documentation. We take care of the paperwork so you don’t have to navigate town hall bureaucracy or worry about compliance issues.
