Your home gets the natural light it deserves. Rooms feel larger and more inviting when sunlight streams in from above, cutting your electric bills while boosting your mood and overall wellness.
You skip the nightmare of water damage and costly repairs that come with poorly installed skylights. Our professional installation means you get all the benefits—better ventilation, enhanced home value, and that beautiful natural glow—without wondering if the next storm will bring leaks.
The difference shows up immediately. Natural light transforms dark hallways, brightens kitchens, and makes bathrooms feel like spa retreats. Your home becomes more comfortable, more valuable, and more enjoyable to live in.
We specialize in exterior home improvements throughout Suffolk County, with skylight installation as one of our core services. We understand that South Huntington homeowners need contractors who show up on time, do quality work, and stand behind their installations.
Our team focuses exclusively on residential work in Suffolk County, which means we know exactly how Long Island weather affects skylights and roofing systems. We’ve seen what happens when skylights aren’t installed properly—the water damage, the expensive repairs, the frustration.
That’s why we use proven installation methods and work with premium brands like Velux to ensure every skylight performs exactly as it should, year after year.
We start with a consultation at your South Huntington home to assess your roof, discuss your lighting goals, and recommend the best skylight type and placement. Every roof is different, and proper placement makes all the difference between a skylight that enhances your home and one that creates problems.
Next, we handle the technical work—cutting the roof opening, building proper structural framing, and installing the skylight with professional-grade flashing systems. This is where experience matters most. The flashing and sealing work determine whether your skylight will stay leak-free for decades.
Finally, we complete the interior finishing work, ensuring the light well is properly insulated and finished to match your home’s style. We clean up completely and walk you through your new skylight’s operation and maintenance needs.

Our skylight installation service includes everything from initial consultation to final cleanup. We handle structural modifications, professional waterproofing, interior finishing, and debris removal. You get a complete installation, not just a skylight dropped into a hole.
South Huntington’s climate demands proper installation techniques that account for snow loads, wind uplift, and thermal expansion. We use these local factors to select appropriate flashing systems and sealing methods that perform reliably in Suffolk County weather conditions.
Every installation includes premium materials, professional-grade flashing, proper insulation, and interior finishing work. We also provide detailed maintenance guidance so you know how to keep your skylight performing optimally for years to come.
Skylight installation in South Huntington typically ranges from $2,500 to $6,000, depending on the skylight type, size, and roof complexity. Fixed skylights cost less than vented models, and larger or custom sizes increase the price.
The total cost includes the skylight unit, professional installation, flashing materials, interior finishing, and cleanup. Complex roof configurations or steep pitches may add to labor costs, but we provide detailed estimates upfront so there are no surprises.
Remember that quality installation is crucial—poorly installed skylights often cost 3-4 times the original price to fix properly, making professional installation a smart investment from the start.
For South Huntington homes, we typically recommend Velux skylights because they’re designed to handle our climate conditions and offer excellent energy efficiency. Fixed skylights work well for adding light to living areas, while vented skylights are ideal for bathrooms and kitchens where moisture control matters.
Energy-efficient models with Low-E coatings help manage heat gain in summer and heat loss in winter, which is important for Long Island’s varied weather. Solar-powered vented skylights are increasingly popular because they provide ventilation without requiring electrical work.
The best choice depends on your specific room, roof orientation, and goals. South-facing skylights capture more light and warmth, while north-facing installations provide gentler, more consistent illumination throughout the day.
Leak prevention starts with proper flashing installation, which is the most critical part of any skylight project. We use step flashing and continuous flashing systems that integrate with your existing roofing materials, creating multiple barriers against water intrusion.
Professional installation includes building the roof opening to exact specifications, installing proper drainage channels, and using high-quality sealants designed for Long Island weather conditions. We also ensure proper insulation and vapor barriers to prevent condensation issues.
The key is understanding how water moves across your roof and designing the flashing system accordingly. This is why DIY skylight installation often fails—it requires roofing expertise to get the water management details right the first time.
Yes, we regularly install skylights in existing South Huntington homes without causing structural damage. The process involves carefully cutting the roof opening between rafters and reinforcing the framing as needed to maintain structural integrity.
We use precise measurements and professional tools to minimize disruption to your existing roofing system. The surrounding shingles are carefully removed and reinstalled, and we match your existing roofing materials whenever possible for a seamless appearance.
Most installations are completed in 1-2 days, and we protect your home’s interior throughout the process. The key is having experienced installers who understand roof framing and can work efficiently while maintaining your roof’s weather protection.
Suffolk County skylights need regular cleaning and periodic inspection of seals and flashing, especially after severe weather. We recommend cleaning the glass twice yearly and checking for any signs of water intrusion or seal deterioration.
The flashing and weatherstripping should be inspected annually, particularly after winter freeze-thaw cycles that can affect sealing materials. Any small issues should be addressed quickly to prevent them from becoming expensive problems.
Professional skylights with quality installation typically need minimal maintenance beyond cleaning. We provide specific maintenance guidelines for your skylight type and can perform periodic inspections if you prefer professional oversight of your investment.
Yes, properly installed skylights typically increase home value by enhancing natural light, improving energy efficiency, and creating more attractive living spaces. South Huntington buyers particularly value features that make homes brighter and more comfortable.
The value increase depends on the skylight quality, installation workmanship, and how well it complements your home’s design. Energy-efficient models are especially appealing to today’s buyers who prioritize lower utility costs and environmental responsibility.
Beyond immediate value, skylights make your home more enjoyable to live in daily. The combination of better lighting, potential energy savings, and enhanced aesthetics makes skylight installation a worthwhile investment for most South Huntington homeowners.
