Our team specializes in complete exterior home improvement, from roof repairs to skylight installations, giving us comprehensive expertise needed for proper skylight integration. We’re not just skylight installers – we’re roofing professionals who know how to prevent the leak issues that plague poorly installed skylights.
Wading River homeowners choose us because we deliver transparent pricing, quality materials, and installations that actually last. When you work with local contractors who live and work in your community, you get accountability and service that out-of-area companies simply can’t match.
We start with a thorough roof inspection to determine the best skylight placement for your home’s structure and your lighting goals. Our team evaluates your roof’s condition, identifies optimal locations, and discusses your options for fixed or ventilating skylights.
Next comes precise measurement and preparation. We carefully cut the roof opening, install proper structural framing, and prepare the area for your new skylight. This is where experience matters – improper preparation leads to the leak problems you want to avoid.
The installation itself involves mounting your skylight with professional-grade flashing systems, sealing all connections, and integrating the unit seamlessly with your existing roofing materials. We test everything thoroughly before considering the job complete, ensuring your skylight will perform properly for years to come.

Your skylight installation includes everything needed for a permanent, leak-free result. We handle the complete process from roof preparation through final sealing, using premium Velux skylights known for their durability and energy efficiency in coastal climates.
Suffolk County’s salt air and temperature fluctuations demand installation techniques that many contractors don’t understand. Our installations include upgraded flashing systems, weatherproof sealing, and integration with your existing roof materials designed specifically for Long Island’s challenging conditions.
Every installation comes with our commitment to quality workmanship and materials that meet or exceed Suffolk County building codes. You’ll receive detailed information about your new skylight’s operation, maintenance requirements, and warranty coverage so you know exactly what to expect from your investment.
Skylight installation in Suffolk County typically ranges from $1,500 to $4,500, depending on the skylight size, type, and complexity of your roof structure. Fixed skylights cost less than ventilating models, and tubular skylights are the most budget-friendly option for smaller spaces.
The total cost includes the skylight unit, professional installation, flashing materials, and any necessary roof modifications. We provide detailed written estimates that break down all costs upfront, so you know exactly what you’re investing in before work begins.
Factors that influence cost include your roof’s pitch, the need for structural modifications, interior finishing work, and whether you choose basic or premium skylight features like built-in blinds or rain sensors.
Velux skylights are the gold standard for Suffolk County installations because they’re specifically engineered to handle our coastal weather conditions. For most Wading River homes, we recommend either fixed skylights for maximum light or ventilating skylights for areas like kitchens and bathrooms that benefit from airflow.
Fixed skylights work perfectly in living rooms, hallways, and bedrooms where you want consistent natural light without ventilation. Ventilating skylights are ideal for moisture-prone areas and can significantly improve indoor air quality by allowing warm air to escape naturally.
Tubular skylights are excellent for smaller spaces like closets, pantries, or interior bathrooms where a full-size skylight isn’t practical. They deliver surprising amounts of natural light through a reflective tube system that’s much easier to install than traditional skylights.
Proper flashing installation is the key to leak-free skylights, and this is where our roofing expertise makes the difference. We use step flashing integrated with your existing shingles, creating multiple layers of water protection around the entire skylight perimeter.
Our installation process includes installing a waterproof membrane beneath the flashing, sealing all penetrations with professional-grade sealants, and ensuring proper drainage around the skylight. We also verify that your roof deck is structurally sound and properly sloped to direct water away from the installation.
Most skylight leaks happen because installers rush the flashing work or don’t understand how water moves across different roof materials. Our team has extensive experience with Suffolk County’s varied roofing systems and knows exactly how to integrate skylights without compromising your roof’s weather protection.
Yes, we regularly install skylights on existing roofs with minimal disruption to your home. The process involves carefully removing shingles in the installation area, cutting the roof opening with precision tools, and installing your skylight with new flashing that integrates seamlessly with your existing roofing materials.
Most installations are completed in one day, and we take extensive precautions to protect your home’s interior during the process. We use tarps and plastic sheeting to prevent debris from entering your living space and can work around weather conditions to ensure your home stays dry.
The key is proper planning and execution. We measure twice, cut once, and have all materials ready before making any roof penetrations. Our experience with Suffolk County homes means we understand the specific challenges of different roof types and ages commonly found in the Wading River area.
Properly installed skylights can significantly reduce your lighting costs and provide passive heating benefits during cooler months. Natural light from skylights is often 10 times brighter than artificial lighting, allowing you to keep lights off during daylight hours.
In Suffolk County’s climate, skylights also provide valuable passive solar heating during fall, winter, and spring months. South-facing skylights capture maximum solar energy, while north-facing units provide consistent, even light without excessive heat gain during summer.
The energy savings depend on your skylight placement, size, and type. Ventilating skylights offer additional benefits by improving natural air circulation, potentially reducing air conditioning costs during mild weather when you can rely on natural ventilation instead of mechanical cooling systems.
Quality skylights require minimal maintenance when properly installed, but regular inspection keeps them performing at their best. We recommend checking the flashing and seals annually, especially after severe weather, and clearing any debris from the skylight surface and surrounding roof area.
Most maintenance involves simple cleaning of the glass surface and ensuring that gutters and roof drainage systems around the skylight remain clear. Velux skylights are designed for easy cleaning from inside your home, eliminating the need for roof access in most cases.
Professional inspection every few years helps identify any potential issues before they become problems. Our team offers maintenance services and can quickly address any concerns with sealing, flashing, or skylight operation to ensure your installation continues providing leak-free performance for decades.
