You get natural light flooding your space year-round, especially during those long Long Island winters when every bit of sunshine matters. Your electricity bills drop because you’re not running lights all day. Your rooms feel bigger and more open without expensive renovations.
Most importantly, you get a skylight that actually works. No water stains on your ceiling. No emergency calls to contractors. No expensive repairs down the road because someone cut corners during installation.
That’s what happens when you choose contractors who understand Suffolk County weather, know local building codes inside and out, and have been installing skylights the right way for decades.
SkyLuxe Construction Inc has been serving Suffolk County homeowners for decades, specializing in exterior improvements that stand up to Long Island’s unpredictable weather. We’re not just another contractor—we’re your neighbors who understand what it takes to keep homes protected and comfortable in West Islip.
Our team combines traditional craftsmanship with modern installation techniques. Every skylight project gets personal oversight because your home deserves the same attention to detail we’d give our own.
We know Suffolk County building codes, local permit requirements, and exactly how to install skylights that won’t become your next expensive headache.
First, we assess your roof structure and discuss your goals. Not every location works for every type of skylight, and we’ll tell you honestly what will and won’t work for your specific situation.
Next, we handle permits and prepare the installation site. This includes protecting your belongings, setting up proper safety measures, and ensuring we have everything needed to complete the job without delays.
During installation, we cut the roof opening precisely, install proper flashing and waterproofing, mount the skylight unit, and complete all interior finishing work. Our team coordinates all trades—roofing, carpentry, and finishing—so you don’t have to manage multiple contractors.
Finally, we clean up completely and walk you through your new skylight’s operation and maintenance requirements. You get a properly installed skylight that enhances your home without creating future problems.

Your skylight installation includes professional assessment, permits, proper structural modifications, weatherproof flashing installation, and complete interior finishing. We handle everything from cutting the roof opening to painting the final trim work.
West Islip homes face unique challenges with coastal weather patterns and varying roof structures. Many homes in the area have truss systems that require specific skylight sizing, while others need custom solutions for older construction methods.
We stock energy-efficient skylights that meet New York’s building codes and can handle Suffolk County’s weather extremes. Whether you need a simple fixed unit for extra light or a ventilated skylight for improved air circulation, we match the right product to your specific needs and budget.
Every installation comes with proper warranties on both materials and workmanship, plus ongoing support if you ever have questions about operation or maintenance.
Skylight installation typically costs between $3,000 and $7,300 in West Islip, depending on the type, size, and complexity of your project. Fixed skylights cost less than ventilated units, and standard sizes cost less than custom installations.
The total includes the skylight unit, all installation labor, proper flashing and waterproofing, interior finishing work, and permits. Factors that affect cost include your roof type, accessibility, ceiling height, and whether structural modifications are needed.
We provide detailed estimates that break down all costs upfront, so you know exactly what you’re paying for. No surprise charges, no hidden fees, and no pressure to upgrade to features you don’t need.
Not when installed properly by experienced contractors who understand Suffolk County weather patterns. Skylight leaks almost always result from improper installation, not product failure.
We use proven flashing techniques and high-quality sealants designed for coastal weather conditions. Our installation process includes multiple layers of protection against water infiltration, including proper step flashing, ice and water shield, and careful attention to roof slope and drainage patterns.
Every installation is tested before we consider the job complete. We also provide clear maintenance guidelines to help you keep your skylight performing properly for decades. When you choose experienced local contractors, leaks become a non-issue.
That depends on your goals, roof structure, and budget. Fixed skylights provide maximum light at the lowest cost and work great for living rooms, hallways, or any space where you just want more natural light.
Ventilated skylights cost more but offer fresh air circulation, making them ideal for kitchens, bathrooms, or any room that gets stuffy. They’re available in manual, electric, or solar-powered options.
Your roof structure also matters. Homes with truss construction typically need skylights that fit between standard truss spacing, while older homes with traditional framing offer more flexibility. We assess your specific situation and recommend options that work with your home’s construction and your family’s needs.
Most residential skylight installations take one to two days, depending on complexity and weather conditions. Simple fixed skylights on accessible roofs often complete in one day, while ventilated units or installations requiring significant interior work may take two days.
Weather delays are possible since skylight installation involves opening your roof temporarily. We monitor forecasts carefully and only start installation when we can complete weatherproofing the same day.
The timeline includes all work—roof cutting, flashing installation, skylight mounting, interior finishing, and cleanup. We coordinate our schedule to minimize disruption to your daily routine and always clean up completely before considering the job finished.
Yes, skylight installation typically requires building permits in West Islip and throughout Suffolk County. The permit process ensures your installation meets local building codes and safety requirements.
We handle all permit applications and inspections as part of our service. This includes submitting proper documentation, scheduling required inspections, and ensuring everything meets code before final approval.
Attempting installation without permits can create problems when you sell your home or file insurance claims. Working with licensed contractors who handle permits properly protects your investment and ensures your installation is legal and up to code.
Skylight maintenance is minimal when properly installed, but regular attention keeps them performing optimally. Clean the glass twice yearly and check that drainage channels stay clear of debris.
Inspect the flashing and seals annually for any signs of wear or damage. Look for loose caulking, cracked seals, or any areas where water might penetrate. Address small issues promptly to prevent larger problems.
For ventilated skylights, keep the operating mechanism clean and lubricated according to manufacturer specifications. Most quality skylights include detailed maintenance instructions and warranty coverage for normal wear items. We provide maintenance guidelines specific to your installation and remain available for questions or service needs.
