Hear from Our Customers
You know that feeling when you walk into a room flooded with natural light? That’s what we’re talking about. Not the dim, cave-like spaces that make you flip on lights at 2 PM.
Our skylight installations don’t just brighten your home—they cut your electricity costs. More daylight hours mean fewer lights switched on, and that shows up on your monthly bill. We’re talking about real savings, not just a few dollars here and there.
The best part? You won’t spend the next five years dealing with leaks, water stains, or contractors who “forgot” to seal something properly. Our installations are designed to keep water where it belongs—outside.
SkyLuxe Construction isn’t just another contractor who showed up yesterday. We’re a family business that’s been perfecting exterior work in Suffolk County for decades.
We understand Village of the Branch homes because we’ve worked on them. Colonial styles from the historic district, ranch homes with those generous lawns, properties where details matter because the neighbors notice. Every installation gets personal oversight from our family, not a random crew who’s never seen your street before.
When you’re investing in your home in one of Long Island’s most desirable communities, you want contractors who understand what that means. We do.
First, we assess your space and roof structure. Not every room is the same, and not every roof handles skylights the same way. We measure, check the framing, and determine the best placement for maximum light without compromising your roof’s integrity.
Next comes the precision work. We cut the opening, install proper framing, and handle all the flashing details that prevent leaks. This isn’t a rush job—we take the time to seal everything correctly because we know Suffolk County weather can be demanding.
Finally, we handle the interior finishing. Your new skylight should look like it was always meant to be there, not like an afterthought. We clean up completely and walk you through everything so you know exactly what you’re getting.

Every skylight installation includes proper flashing, quality materials that handle Long Island weather, and professional sealing that prevents the water damage issues you’ve probably heard horror stories about. We don’t cut corners on the parts you can’t see.
Village of the Branch homeowners appreciate attention to detail, and that’s exactly what drives our process. We use materials rated for coastal weather conditions because Suffolk County gets everything from nor’easters to summer storms. Your skylight needs to handle whatever comes.
You’ll also get options that make sense for your specific room. Vented skylights for bathrooms and kitchens where moisture is an issue. Fixed skylights for living areas where you want maximum light. Solar-powered options if energy efficiency is a priority. We match the solution to your actual needs, not whatever we happen to have in the truck.
Skylight installation in Suffolk County typically runs between $1,000 and $4,000, depending on the size, type, and complexity of your specific project. Fixed skylights in straightforward roof sections cost less than vented skylights or installations that require significant framing work.
The biggest cost variables are the skylight type you choose and whether we’re working with an existing roof or coordinating with other roofing work. Installation during a roof replacement is always more cost-effective than opening up an existing roof later.
We provide detailed written estimates that break down exactly what you’re paying for—the skylight unit, materials, labor, and any additional work needed. No surprises, no “we found something else” calls after we start.
Properly installed skylights don’t leak, period. The problem is that many contractors rush the flashing and sealing work because it’s not visible once the job is done.
We use step flashing, continuous flashing, and proper sealing techniques specifically designed for Long Island’s weather patterns. That means nor’easters, summer thunderstorms, and everything in between. Our installations are tested against the conditions your roof actually faces.
The key is in the details most homeowners never see—the underlayment, the flashing integration with your existing roofing materials, and the interior vapor barriers. We handle all of this because we know that a leak six months later costs everyone more time and money than doing it right the first time.
It depends on your specific room and goals. Colonial and ranch-style homes in Village of the Branch work well with both fixed and vented skylights, but the choice comes down to function.
Bathrooms and kitchens benefit from vented skylights because they help remove moisture and cooking odors while adding light. Living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways typically do better with fixed skylights that maximize light without the mechanical components.
For rooms where you can’t install a traditional skylight—maybe there’s an attic space or complex roofline—tubular skylights can channel natural light through reflective tubes. They’re particularly effective for interior spaces that don’t have direct roof access but still need more light.
Yes, skylight installation typically requires building permits in Village of the Branch, and the village has its own building department separate from Smithtown’s. This is actually good news because it means faster processing and more direct communication.
We handle the permit applications and know exactly what the village requires for skylight installations. The process includes structural review to ensure your roof can handle the opening and that the installation meets local building codes.
Building permits aren’t just bureaucratic paperwork—they ensure the work is done safely and correctly. When we pull permits, you get the peace of mind that comes with official oversight and documentation that protects your investment and insurance coverage.
Most skylight installations take one to two days, depending on the complexity of your project and weather conditions. Simple installations in accessible roof areas with straightforward framing can often be completed in a single day.
More complex installations—like vented skylights, multiple units, or situations requiring significant framing work—may take longer. We always provide realistic timelines upfront and keep you informed if weather or unexpected conditions affect the schedule.
The key is that we don’t rush the critical sealing and finishing work just to meet an arbitrary deadline. It’s better to take an extra half day to ensure everything is properly sealed than to create problems that take weeks to fix later.
Absolutely, and the savings are noticeable. Skylights extend your daylight hours significantly, which means you’re using artificial lighting much less during the day. Many homeowners see meaningful reductions in their monthly electricity costs.
The biggest impact is during shoulder seasons when you’re not running air conditioning but still need lights on during the day. Those are the months where skylight savings really add up because you’re getting free light instead of paying for it.
Modern skylights with low-E coatings also help with temperature control, reducing both heating and cooling costs. They let in light while managing heat transfer, so you get the brightness without turning your room into a greenhouse during summer months.
