Your home transforms the moment we complete your skylight installation. Dark hallways become welcoming spaces filled with natural light. Bathrooms get proper ventilation that prevents moisture problems. Your electricity bills drop as you rely less on artificial lighting during the day.

These features keep your home comfortable year-round while reducing energy costs—important when Suffolk County residents pay an average of $177 monthly for electricity.

We handle all permit applications and inspections as part of our service. Our team knows Suffolk County’s specific requirements for skylight placement, size limitations, and structural support. This saves you time and ensures compliance from the start.
Skipping permits can void your homeowner’s insurance, create problems when selling your home, and result in fines or mandatory removal. Professional installation with proper permits protects your investment and ensures everything is done correctly.
Properly installed skylights don’t leak when installed by experienced professionals using quality materials and correct techniques. The key is comprehensive flashing systems and proper integration with your existing roof structure.
We use multi-layer flashing designed specifically for Long Island’s weather patterns, including nor’easters and heavy summer storms. Our installation process includes step flashing, counter flashing, and ice and water barriers that create multiple lines of defense against water infiltration.
Every installation includes our leak-proof guarantee plus manufacturer warranties. We’ve installed hundreds of skylights throughout Suffolk County without leak issues because we never cut corners on weatherproofing—it’s too important for Long Island homes.
Yes, we regularly install skylights on existing roofs throughout St. James, provided the roof structure is in good condition. Most homes can accommodate skylight installation regardless of age, though older roofs may need some reinforcement.
Our evaluation process examines your roof’s structural integrity, rafter spacing, and overall condition. We identify any necessary repairs before installation begins. Sometimes we recommend addressing roofing issues first to ensure the best long-term results.
Different roof materials require specific installation techniques. Whether you have asphalt shingles, slate, tile, or metal roofing, we adapt our approach to work with your existing system. The result looks seamless and maintains your roof’s weather protection.
Skylight selection depends on your room size, roof structure, and specific goals. As a general rule, skylight area should be 5-15% of the room’s floor area for optimal natural light without overheating.
Fixed skylights work well for consistent natural light in living areas and hallways. Venting skylights are ideal for bathrooms and kitchens where moisture control matters. Solar-powered models offer remote operation and automatic rain sensors for convenience.
We evaluate each location during our consultation, considering sun angles, roof pitch, interior layout, and your preferences. Our recommendations balance maximum natural light with energy efficiency and proper ventilation for your specific St. James home.
Quality skylights require minimal maintenance when properly installed. Annual cleaning of the glass surface maintains maximum light transmission, and periodic inspection of seals and flashing prevents small issues from becoming major problems.
Suffolk County’s coastal environment means occasional debris removal from gutters and roof areas around your skylight. Fall and spring inspections help identify any weather-related wear before it affects performance.
We provide maintenance guidelines with every installation and offer annual inspection services. Most homeowners find that proper installation eliminates ongoing problems—the key is getting it right from the start with experienced professionals who understand local conditions.
