Picture walking into your kitchen and not reaching for the light switch. Natural light streaming in from above, making everything brighter and more welcoming.
That’s what happens when skylights are installed correctly. Your electric bill drops because you’re not running lights all day. Rooms feel bigger, more open, genuinely comfortable. Dark hallways and dim bathrooms become spaces you actually want to spend time in.
The difference isn’t just visual—it’s financial. Less artificial lighting means real savings every month. Plus, homes with quality skylight installations see increased property values when it’s time to sell.
We’ve been installing skylights in Smithtown homes since the early 2000s. We’ve seen what works in Suffolk County’s climate and what fails after the first nor’easter.
We’re the local residential skylight installer your neighbors recommend because we understand Long Island. Coastal humidity, freeze-thaw cycles, summer heat that bakes roof materials—we design every installation to handle it all.
Licensed in Suffolk County, fully insured, and family-owned. Every project gets the same attention we’d give our own home because your satisfaction is what keeps us in business.
First, we inspect your roof structure and identify the optimal location for maximum natural light. This isn’t guesswork—we’re checking load-bearing capacity, planning drainage, and ensuring proper placement for your home’s architecture.
Professional skylight mounting starts with precision cutting and structural reinforcement. We install premium flashing systems designed for Long Island weather, seal everything with commercial-grade materials, and test for leaks before finishing.
The final step involves interior work if needed—drywall finishing, trim installation, and cleanup. We don’t leave until everything works perfectly and your home is cleaner than when we arrived. That’s how new skylight installation should be done.

Every skylight installation includes engineered flashing systems, structural reinforcement where needed, and weatherproofing designed for Suffolk County’s coastal environment. We work with premium brands like Velux because they perform in our climate.
Installing skylights into existing roofs requires understanding Smithtown’s building patterns. Many homes here were built in the 60s and 70s with specific framing styles. We know how to work with these structures safely and effectively.
Energy-efficient skylight installation means choosing the right glazing for your home’s orientation, installing proper insulation, and ensuring thermal performance that actually saves money. Not all skylights are created equal—we help you choose options that make sense for your specific situation and budget.
New skylight installation in Smithtown typically runs $1,200 to $4,000, depending on the unit size, roof complexity, and features you choose. Basic fixed skylights cost less than venting models with electric controls and built-in blinds.
Your roof type matters significantly. Asphalt shingle roofs are straightforward to work with, while slate or tile requires more careful handling and specialized techniques. Steep pitches add complexity and time, which affects the final price.
We provide detailed written estimates that break down material costs, labor, and any structural work needed. No surprises or hidden fees—you’ll know exactly what you’re paying for before we start work.
Leak prevention starts with understanding that most skylight problems aren’t the skylight itself—they’re installation failures. Damaged flashing, inadequate sealing, or improper roof integration cause 90% of the leaks we’re called to fix.
Our installation process addresses these issues systematically. We use step flashing and continuous underlayment, seal all penetrations with commercial-grade materials, and test everything before considering the job complete. Every component is designed to handle Suffolk County’s weather extremes.
That’s why we guarantee our installations won’t leak. We’ve been doing this in Smithtown long enough to know what works and what fails. Your skylight will bring light into your home, not water.
For our climate, we recommend skylights with thermally broken frames and impact-resistant glazing. Suffolk County gets everything from hurricane-force winds to ice storms—your skylights need to handle it all without failing.
Fixed skylights work perfectly for areas where you just want natural light. They’re simple, reliable, and cost-effective. Venting skylights make sense for kitchens and bathrooms where you need both light and air circulation. Many come with rain sensors that close automatically when moisture hits.
We typically install Velux products because they’re engineered for climates like ours. Their materials resist expansion and contraction, seals stay flexible in cold weather, and construction handles coastal humidity without degrading over time.
Most single skylight installations in Smithtown take one to two days, start to finish. Simple installations on accessible roofs often complete in a single day. Multiple units or complex structural work extend the timeline.
Weather affects scheduling significantly. We won’t compromise installation quality by rushing through work during poor conditions. Better to wait for proper weather than deal with problems later.
We coordinate everything to minimize disruption to your routine. This includes securing permits, scheduling deliveries, and ensuring minimal mess inside your home. You’ll know the timeline upfront so you can plan accordingly.
Yes, most skylight installations in Smithtown require building permits, particularly when cutting new roof openings. The permit process ensures work meets local building codes and safety standards.
We handle all permit applications and inspections as part of our service. This includes submitting plans to the Town of Smithtown, coordinating with inspectors, and ensuring everything meets Suffolk County requirements.
Proper permits protect you during home sales and ensure your installation meets code. It’s not just bureaucracy—it’s verification that your skylight is installed safely and correctly for long-term performance.
Absolutely. We regularly install skylights in homes built from the 1950s through 1980s throughout Suffolk County. Older homes often have different structural considerations, but that doesn’t prevent skylight addition.
We start with structural assessment to determine what reinforcement might be needed. This could include adding support around the opening or updating insulation to current standards. Our experience with Long Island’s housing stock means we know what to expect.
The result is skylight installation that not only brings natural light but often improves your home’s overall performance. Many older homes benefit significantly from the added ventilation and energy efficiency that modern skylights provide.
