Your skylight should brighten your home, not become your biggest headache. When we replace your old, leaky skylight, you get natural light that floods your space without the constant worry of water damage.
No more buckets catching drips during storms. No more stained ceilings or warped floors. Just clean, reliable daylight that can provide up to four times more light than a window of the same size.
You’ll notice the difference immediately—brighter rooms, lower energy bills, and that peace of mind that comes from knowing it’s installed correctly the first time.
We’ve been serving Holtsville and Long Island for years, and we’ve seen every skylight problem you can imagine. Most of them trace back to one thing: poor installation by contractors who don’t understand skylights.
We’re different. We specialize in skylight replacement and work exclusively with VELUX products—the industry standard for quality and durability. Our installations come with a 10-year warranty on workmanship because we stand behind our work.
When you call us, you’re not getting a roofer who does skylights on the side. You’re getting skylight specialists who know how to do it right.
First, we inspect your current skylight to identify exactly what’s causing the problem. Most leaks aren’t actually from the skylight itself—they’re from improper flashing, poor sealing, or installation mistakes.
Next, we carefully remove your old skylight and assess the roof opening. We check for any structural damage and make necessary repairs before installing your new VELUX skylight.
Finally, we install your new skylight using the VELUX No-Leak System—three layers of protection including advanced flashing, underlayment, and secure sealing. We finish with interior work and a thorough cleanup, leaving you with a skylight that’s built to last 15-20 years.

Every skylight replacement includes a complete VELUX skylight system with tempered glass that meets current building codes. You choose from fixed, vented, or solar-powered options depending on your needs and budget.
We handle everything from structural modifications to weather sealing, and you may qualify for a 26% Federal Tax Credit on VELUX installations. All work comes with our 10-year workmanship warranty plus the manufacturer’s warranty.
Holtsville homes face unique challenges with Long Island’s weather patterns—from nor’easters to summer storms. That’s why we use installation techniques specifically designed for our climate, ensuring your skylight performs year-round without leaks or energy loss.
Skylight replacement in Holtsville typically ranges from $2,500 to $6,000, depending on the size, type, and complexity of your roof. The cost includes the VELUX skylight unit, professional installation, flashing, and interior finishing work.
Several factors affect the final price: vented skylights cost more than fixed ones due to their opening mechanisms, larger skylights require more materials and labor, and steep or complex roofs take additional time and safety equipment. We provide transparent pricing upfront so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
Many homeowners are surprised to learn they may qualify for a 26% Federal Tax Credit on VELUX installations, which can significantly reduce your out-of-pocket costs.
The number one cause of skylight leaks isn’t the skylight itself—it’s poor installation by contractors who don’t understand proper skylight techniques. We see this constantly: roofers using excessive tar, installing flashing incorrectly, or placing skylights crooked.
We prevent leaks by using the VELUX No-Leak System, which includes three layers of protection: advanced flashing that directs water away from the opening, adhesive underlayment that creates a waterproof barrier, and secure sealing around the entire perimeter.
Our installations are designed to be leak-free for 20+ years. We also inspect your roof structure and make any necessary repairs before installing your new skylight, ensuring the entire system works together properly.
Yes, if your skylight is more than 10-15 years old or showing any signs of problems, roof replacement is the perfect time to upgrade. It’s much more cost-effective to replace both at once since we’re already accessing that area of your roof.
Old skylights often don’t meet current building codes for insulation and safety. Modern VELUX skylights have double-glazed tempered glass, better sealing systems, and improved energy efficiency that can reduce your heating and cooling costs.
If you wait and replace the skylight later, you’ll need to remove and reinstall roofing materials around the skylight, which adds significant cost and creates potential leak points.
Minor issues like worn weather seals or small flashing problems can sometimes be repaired, but most skylight problems require full replacement. If your skylight is leaking, has cracked glass, or is more than 15 years old, replacement is usually the better long-term solution.
Repairs often provide only temporary fixes, especially if the original installation was done incorrectly. You might stop one leak only to develop another in a different spot within a few months or years.
Replacement gives you a completely new system with modern materials, proper installation, and warranties. When you factor in the cost of multiple repair attempts, replacement often costs less in the long run and eliminates ongoing problems.
Most skylight replacements take one full day, weather permitting. We start by carefully removing your old skylight and preparing the roof opening, which takes about 2-3 hours depending on the condition of the existing installation.
Installing your new VELUX skylight, including flashing and sealing, takes another 3-4 hours. We finish with interior work like drywall repairs and cleanup, ensuring your home is left spotless.
Complex installations or multiple skylights may take longer, and we always wait for appropriate weather conditions to ensure proper sealing. We’ll give you a specific timeline during your consultation based on your particular situation.
Yes, we install skylights on flat and low-slope roofs using specialized dome skylights designed for these applications. Flat roof skylights require different installation techniques and materials compared to sloped roof installations.
We use curb-mounted systems that raise the skylight above the roof surface, ensuring proper water drainage and preventing pooling around the unit. The installation includes custom flashing and sealing specifically designed for flat roof applications.
VELUX makes excellent flat roof skylights that provide the same energy efficiency and durability as their sloped roof models. We’ll assess your specific roof type and recommend the best solution for your Holtsville home’s needs.
