Hear from Our Customers
You’re tired of flipping on lights during the day. Your rooms feel cramped, your energy bills keep climbing, and you’re ready for a change that actually makes a difference.
Here’s what happens when we install your skylight the right way. Your morning coffee tastes better when you’re not sitting under harsh fluorescent bulbs. Your kids do homework in actual sunlight instead of straining their eyes. That dark hallway becomes a space you actually want to walk through.
The best part? You stop worrying about leaks. Our installations come with a guarantee because we know how to seal them properly the first time. No water stains on your ceiling, no emergency calls during storms – just reliable natural light that transforms how your home feels every single day.
SkyLuxe Construction has been installing skylights for Suffolk County families for decades. We’re not the guys who show up, cut a hole, and hope for the best.
We understand Long Island weather. We know how Suffolk County homes are built, and we’ve seen what happens when skylights are installed wrong. That’s why every installation gets personal oversight from our family-run team – because your home deserves the same care we’d give our own.
When neighbors in Stony Brook University need skylight work done right, they call us. We’re licensed, insured, and we stand behind every installation with a comprehensive warranty. No shortcuts, no surprises – just professional work that lasts.
First, we come to your home and actually look at your roof. Not just a quick glance – we check the structure, measure everything twice, and figure out the best placement for maximum light with zero problems down the road.
Next, we handle the installation with surgical precision. We cut the opening, install proper flashing, seal everything according to manufacturer specs, and test it thoroughly. The interior work gets the same attention – clean cuts, proper finishing, and cleanup that leaves your home better than we found it.
Finally, we walk through everything with you. We show you how your new skylight operates, explain the warranty, and make sure you’re completely satisfied. Most installations take one to two days, depending on complexity, and you’ll have natural light streaming in before you know it.

Every skylight installation includes proper structural assessment, precision cutting, professional-grade flashing, and weatherproof sealing. We don’t just install the skylight – we make sure it integrates perfectly with your existing roof system.
In Suffolk County, we see a lot of homes with older roofing systems that need special attention during skylight installation. That’s why we include structural reinforcement when needed, updated flashing systems that handle Long Island’s weather extremes, and interior finishing that matches your home’s existing style.
You also get our comprehensive warranty, detailed maintenance guidelines, and ongoing support. We use premium materials from trusted manufacturers like Velux, and every component is selected specifically for Long Island’s climate conditions. The result is a skylight that performs flawlessly year after year, adding value to your home while reducing your energy costs.
Skylight installation in Suffolk County typically ranges from $1,000 to $4,000, depending on the type of skylight, roof complexity, and any structural modifications needed. Fixed skylights are generally less expensive, while vented or solar-powered options cost more due to their advanced features.
The total cost includes the skylight unit itself ($500-$2,500), professional installation ($500-$1,500), flashing materials, interior finishing work, and any necessary structural reinforcement. We provide detailed written estimates that break down every cost, so you know exactly what you’re paying for before we start.
Keep in mind that installing a skylight during roof replacement is more cost-effective than retrofitting an existing roof. However, we can professionally install skylights on existing roofs with minimal disruption to your daily routine.
Not when it’s installed correctly. Skylight leaks are almost always caused by improper installation – specifically inadequate flashing or poor sealing around the roof penetration. We’ve seen too many DIY disasters and contractor shortcuts that leave homeowners dealing with water damage.
Our installation process includes multiple layers of protection: step flashing that integrates with your roof’s water management system, high-grade sealants rated for extreme weather, and proper slope calculations that direct water away from the skylight opening. We also install ice and water shield underlayment for additional protection during winter storms.
Every installation comes with our leak-free guarantee because we’re confident in our methods. We’ve been installing skylights in Suffolk County for decades, and we understand exactly how to handle Long Island’s weather patterns – from nor’easters to summer thunderstorms.
For most Suffolk County homes, we recommend either fixed skylights for maximum light with minimal maintenance, or vented skylights for areas that need both light and airflow. The choice depends on your specific room, roof pitch, and how you plan to use the space.
Fixed skylights work perfectly for living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways where you want consistent natural light without worrying about operation or maintenance. Vented skylights are ideal for bathrooms, kitchens, and attics where moisture control and air circulation are important – especially during humid Long Island summers.
We also install solar-powered skylights that open and close automatically, and tubular skylights for smaller spaces or areas where traditional skylights won’t fit. During our consultation, we’ll assess your home’s architecture, your lighting goals, and your budget to recommend the best option for each location.
Most skylight installations take one to two days, depending on the complexity of your roof and whether any structural modifications are needed. Simple installations on straightforward roof sections often complete in a single day, while complex installations with structural work might require an additional day.
The timeline includes roof preparation, cutting the opening, installing flashing and the skylight unit, interior finishing work, and final cleanup. We work efficiently but never rush – proper installation is critical for long-term performance, especially with Suffolk County’s weather conditions.
We schedule installations during favorable weather windows and always have backup plans for unexpected weather changes. Most homeowners are surprised by how quickly the transformation happens – you’ll have natural light streaming in much sooner than you expect, with minimal disruption to your daily routine.
Yes, skylight installation typically requires building permits in Suffolk County, and we handle all the permitting process for you. This includes submitting detailed plans, ensuring compliance with local building codes, and scheduling required inspections.
The permit process protects you by ensuring the installation meets structural and safety requirements. It also protects your home’s value – unpermitted work can create problems when you sell. As licensed contractors, we’re familiar with Suffolk County’s specific requirements and maintain relationships with local building departments.
The permitting process usually adds a few days to the project timeline but doesn’t delay the actual installation. We obtain permits before starting work and coordinate inspections to keep everything moving smoothly. This professional approach gives you peace of mind and ensures your skylight installation is completely legitimate and up to code.
Yes, professionally installed skylights typically increase home value in Suffolk County’s competitive real estate market. Buyers consistently prefer homes with abundant natural light, and skylights are seen as desirable upgrades that enhance both aesthetics and energy efficiency.
The value increase depends on the quality of installation and the specific rooms where skylights are added. Well-placed skylights in kitchens, living areas, and master bathrooms tend to provide the best return on investment. Energy-efficient models that reduce heating and cooling costs are particularly attractive to today’s buyers.
However, poorly installed skylights can actually hurt your home’s value due to leak concerns and potential water damage. That’s why professional installation with proper warranties is crucial. When done right, skylights not only improve your daily living experience but also position your home competitively when it’s time to sell.
