Your home feels different when natural light streams through a properly installed skylight. Rooms that once felt cramped suddenly open up. Spaces that relied on artificial lighting during the day now glow with sunshine. You’ll notice the change in your energy bills too.
But here’s what really matters: you get all these benefits without worrying about leaks, drafts, or water damage. When skylights are installed correctly by experienced contractors who understand Suffolk County’s weather patterns, they enhance your home for decades.
The difference between a skylight that adds value and one that causes problems comes down to proper installation, quality materials, and contractors who know what they’re doing.
We at SkyLuxe Construction have been serving Suffolk County homeowners with professional exterior improvement services for years. We understand the unique challenges of Tuckahoe’s weather patterns and building styles.
Our team specializes in skylight installations that integrate seamlessly with your existing roof structure. Every project includes proper flashing, weatherproofing, and testing to ensure your new skylight performs exactly as intended.
We’re fully licensed, insured, and committed to transparent communication throughout your project. When we say we’ll complete your installation on time and within budget, that’s exactly what happens.
Your skylight installation starts with a thorough assessment of your roof structure and the room below. We examine the framing, measure for proper sizing, and determine the best placement for maximum light and minimal heat gain.
Next, we carefully cut the roof opening and install the skylight with premium flashing materials designed for Long Island’s weather extremes. Every seal gets tested, every connection gets inspected, and the surrounding area gets restored to match your existing roofline.
Finally, we complete the interior work, including drywall finishing and trim installation. You get a detailed walkthrough of everything we’ve done, plus maintenance tips to keep your skylight performing perfectly for years to come.

Today’s energy-efficient skylights offer features that weren’t available even a few years ago. Low-E glass coatings reflect heat while allowing natural light through. Double and triple-pane options provide superior insulation. Vented models can actually help cool your home during Tuckahoe’s humid summers.
We work with leading skylight manufacturers to ensure you get products that qualify for federal tax credits up to $600. These aren’t just windows in your roof—they’re engineered systems designed to enhance your home’s comfort and efficiency.
Whether you’re adding skylights to a kitchen, bathroom, living room, or hallway, we’ll help you choose the right size, style, and features for your specific needs and budget.
Skylight installation in Tuckahoe typically ranges from $1,000 to $4,000, depending on the size, type, and complexity of your project. Fixed skylights cost less than vented models, and installing during a roof replacement is more cost-effective than retrofitting.
The final price includes the skylight unit, professional installation, flashing, interior finishing, and cleanup. We provide detailed estimates that break down all costs upfront, so you know exactly what to expect before we start work.
Factors that affect pricing include roof pitch, materials, electrical work for vented models, and any structural modifications needed for proper installation.
Properly installed skylights with quality flashing systems don’t leak. The key is working with experienced contractors who understand the critical details of weatherproofing and roof integration.
Most skylight leaks result from improper flashing installation, using substandard materials, or cutting corners during the installation process. We use premium flashing materials and follow manufacturer specifications exactly to prevent these issues.
Every installation includes comprehensive testing and a detailed inspection to ensure your skylight is completely weatherproof before we consider the job complete.
Yes, we regularly install skylights in existing roofs throughout Suffolk County. The process requires careful planning to ensure proper structural support and weatherproofing, but it’s completely feasible with the right expertise.
We start by examining your roof structure and attic space to determine the best placement. Then we carefully cut the opening, install proper framing if needed, and integrate the skylight with your existing roofing materials.
The key is working with contractors who understand how to maintain your roof’s integrity while adding the new skylight opening. Done correctly, retrofitted skylights perform just as well as those installed during new construction.
Energy-efficient skylights with Low-E glass coatings work best in Tuckahoe’s climate. These coatings help control heat gain during hot summers while still allowing plenty of natural light through.
For areas that need ventilation, like bathrooms or kitchens, vented skylights can help remove excess heat and humidity. Fixed skylights work well in living areas where you want maximum light without the need for airflow.
We recommend skylights positioned on south-facing slopes for optimal winter heating benefits, with shades or blinds available to control summer heat gain when needed.
Yes, Energy Star certified skylights qualify for federal tax credits up to $600 or 30% of the project cost through 2032. These skylights must meet specific U-factor and Solar Heat Gain Coefficient requirements.
The tax credit applies to the skylight unit itself, not labor costs, and can be claimed for your primary residence. We work with manufacturers whose products meet these requirements and can help you identify qualifying options.
New York also offers various energy efficiency programs through NYSERDA that may provide additional incentives for qualifying home improvements, including skylights.
Quality skylights installed by professional contractors typically last 20 to 40 years, with some premium models lasting even longer. The lifespan depends on the quality of materials, installation workmanship, and local weather conditions.
Regular maintenance, including cleaning and occasional seal inspection, helps maximize your skylight’s lifespan. We provide detailed care instructions and can schedule periodic maintenance checks to ensure optimal performance.
Most manufacturer warranties cover defects for 10-20 years, while our installation warranty ensures your skylight remains leak-free and properly integrated with your roof system.
