Your home becomes a brighter, more comfortable place to live. Natural light floods rooms that once felt cramped and dim, creating an open, welcoming atmosphere your family will love spending time in.
Energy bills drop as you rely less on artificial lighting throughout the day. Modern skylights with energy-efficient features help regulate indoor temperatures, keeping your home cooler in summer and warmer in winter.
Property value increases significantly. Potential buyers see skylights as premium features that signal a well-maintained, thoughtfully upgraded home.
We’ve been serving Suffolk County homeowners for decades, bringing natural light into thousands of homes across Long Island. We’re a family-owned business that understands what matters most to local homeowners.

Licensed, insured, and backed by years of satisfied customers who trust us with their most important investment. When you choose us, you’re working with contractors who live and work in your community.

Every installation includes professional-grade flashing systems, weatherproof sealing, and proper insulation to prevent air leaks. We use premium skylights from trusted manufacturers like VELUX, known for durability and energy efficiency.
Stony Brook homes benefit from our local expertise with coastal weather patterns. We install skylights that handle everything from summer humidity to winter ice dams, using techniques proven effective in Suffolk County’s challenging climate.
Interior finishing work ensures seamless integration with your existing ceiling and décor. We handle drywall, trim, and paint touch-ups so your new skylight looks like it was always part of your home’s design.
Skylight installation costs vary based on size, type, and roof complexity, but most homeowners invest between $1,500-$4,000 per skylight including materials and labor. This includes the skylight unit, professional installation, flashing, interior finishing, and warranty.
Fixed skylights typically cost less than venting models, while larger or custom sizes increase the price. The investment pays for itself through reduced energy bills and increased home value.
We provide detailed written estimates that break down all costs upfront, so you know exactly what to expect with no surprises.
Not when installed properly by experienced professionals. Leaks are the biggest concern homeowners have about skylights, but they’re almost always caused by poor installation or inferior flashing systems.
We use advanced flashing techniques and weatherproof sealing specifically designed for Long Island’s weather patterns. Our installations include multiple layers of protection against water infiltration, from ice dams to driving rain.
Every installation comes with a comprehensive warranty covering both materials and workmanship. We stand behind our leak-free guarantee because we know our installation methods work.
Most Stony Brook homes benefit from fixed skylights for maximum light with minimal maintenance, or venting skylights for areas like kitchens and bathrooms that need moisture control. The choice depends on your specific room and needs.
For colonial and traditional homes, we often recommend deck-mounted skylights that sit flush with the roofline for a clean appearance. Contemporary homes can handle curb-mounted options that provide more dramatic lighting effects.
Energy-efficient models with Low-E coatings work especially well here, reducing heat gain in summer while maximizing light transmission year-round. We’ll assess your home and recommend the best option during our consultation.
Most single skylight installations take one full day from start to finish, including roof work and interior finishing. Multiple skylights or complex installations may require two days, depending on roof access and weather conditions.
We work efficiently to minimize disruption to your daily routine while ensuring quality installation. Weather delays are rare but possible during Long Island’s winter months or severe storm periods.
The process includes cutting the roof opening, installing flashing and the skylight unit, completing interior work, and final cleanup. We protect your home’s interior throughout the process and leave your property clean when we’re finished.
Yes, most skylight installations in Stony Brook require building permits to ensure proper installation and code compliance. The permit process protects your investment and ensures the work meets local safety standards.
We handle all permit applications and inspections as part of our service. Our team knows local building codes and works with town officials regularly, making the permit process smooth and straightforward.
Permit costs are typically included in our project estimates, and we coordinate all inspections to keep your project on schedule. You don’t need to worry about navigating the bureaucracy yourself.
Skylight maintenance is minimal but important for long-term performance. Clean the exterior glass twice yearly and check that gutters and roof areas around the skylight stay clear of debris.
Interior condensation during winter months is normal but should be minimal with proper installation and ventilation. Excessive condensation may indicate ventilation issues that we can address during routine maintenance visits.
We provide detailed maintenance guidelines with every installation and offer annual inspection services to catch small issues before they become expensive problems. Most quality skylights last 15-20 years with basic care.
