Hear From Our Clients
You stop checking the ceiling every time a storm rolls through. Your energy bills drop because heat isn’t escaping through cracked seals and fogged glass. The rooms under your skylight are bright again, not dim and yellowed from decades of UV damage.
Most homeowners in Huntington Station don’t realize their skylight is the problem until water stains appear on the ceiling or condensation builds up between the panes. By then, the flashing is already compromised and the frame has been stressed by years of freeze-thaw cycles and salt air from Long Island Sound.
A proper skylight window replacement fixes all of it. You get modern insulated glass that keeps your home comfortable year-round. You get flashing that’s installed correctly the first time, sealed against ice dams and heavy snow. You get a skylight that does what it’s supposed to do: bring in natural light without bringing in water, cold air, or constant worry.
We’ve spent over a decade working on Long Island homes, and we’ve seen what happens when skylights aren’t installed right. We’ve pulled out units that were never flashed properly, where the installer cut corners and the homeowner paid for it three winters later.
We’re licensed, insured, and we live here too. That means we understand what Huntington Station weather does to roofs and skylights. The coastal humidity, the freeze-thaw cycles, the nor’easters that test every seal and seam. We don’t install skylights the same way you would in Arizona or Florida, because the climate here demands better materials and better technique.
When you call us, you’re getting a crew that knows Suffolk County homes and treats your property like it’s our own. We give you upfront pricing, we show up when we say we will, and we stand behind every installation with a comprehensive leak-free guarantee.
We start with a free inspection where we assess your current skylight, check the flashing, and look for any roof damage around the opening. Most leaks aren’t the skylight itself—they’re the flashing or degraded sealant. We’ll tell you what actually needs to be fixed and what doesn’t.
If replacement makes sense, we remove the old unit carefully to avoid damaging your roof deck or interior ceiling. We inspect the rough opening, replace any compromised wood, and upgrade the surrounding roof membrane if needed. Then we install your new Velux skylight with proper flashing that’s designed for our climate—not the generic stuff that fails in three years.
The installation includes waterproof sealing at every connection point, new flashing that integrates with your existing roofing material, and a final inspection to make sure everything is secure. Most single skylight replacements take four to six hours depending on roof access and pitch. We complete the work in one day when weather allows, and we clean up completely before we leave.
You get a walkthrough at the end so you can see the quality of the work and ask any questions. Then you get our leak-free guarantee in writing, along with the manufacturer’s warranty on the Velux unit itself.
Ready to get started?
Every installation includes the Velux skylight unit, professional-grade flashing materials, waterproof underlayment, and all the hardware needed for a permanent seal. We don’t use builder-grade materials or shortcuts. You’re getting the same components we’d use on our own homes.
In Huntington Station, the average annual snowfall is around 30 inches, and winter temperatures regularly drop below freezing. That creates ice dams on roofs, especially around skylights where warm air from your home meets cold exterior surfaces. We account for that during installation by ensuring proper insulation around the skylight shaft and using flashing that can handle freeze-thaw expansion without cracking or separating.
The salt air here also accelerates corrosion on metal components. Standard aluminum flashing might last 10 years in other climates, but on Long Island it degrades faster. That’s why we use corrosion-resistant materials and seal every joint with commercial-grade sealants designed for coastal environments.
You also get our honest assessment of whether your skylight needs full replacement or if a repair will actually hold up. Most skylights over 15 years old benefit from replacement because the seals, gaskets, and flashing are all near the end of their service life. But if your unit is newer and the problem is isolated, we’ll tell you that too.
Most skylight replacements in Huntington Station run between $800 and $2,500 per unit, including the Velux skylight, flashing, labor, and our leak-free guarantee. The final cost depends on your roof type, skylight size, and whether we need to repair any wood around the opening.
Velux skylights with professional installation typically cost three to four times the price of the unit alone, but that includes proper flashing, waterproofing, and a warranty that actually protects you. We provide upfront pricing before we start so there are no surprises. Financing options are available for qualified homeowners if you need to spread out the investment.
Most skylight leaks happen because of improper flashing installation or degraded sealants, not because the skylight itself is defective. In Suffolk County’s freeze-thaw cycles, water gets into small gaps, freezes, expands, and creates larger openings. The metal flashing can also corrode or warp over time, especially with salt air accelerating oxidation.
If your skylight is less than 10 years old and the glass is still in good condition, a repair might work. We can replace the flashing, reseal the joints, and stop the leak. But if your skylight is older than 15 years, replacement is usually more cost-effective because the seals, hardware, and frame are all reaching the end of their lifespan. We’ll assess your specific situation during our free inspection and recommend the most practical solution.
Most single skylight replacements take four to six hours from start to finish, depending on roof pitch and access. We typically complete the work in one day, weather permitting. If we’re replacing multiple skylights or if there’s wood rot around the opening that needs repair, it might take longer.
We schedule installations during dry weather to protect your home’s interior. Once we remove the old skylight, your roof is exposed, so we work efficiently and cover the opening if we need to pause for any reason. You’ll have a fully functional, leak-free skylight by the end of the day, and we clean up all debris before we leave.
Yes, we provide emergency skylight repair services throughout Huntington Station and Suffolk County. Skylight leaks can cause serious water damage quickly, especially during storms. If you’re dealing with an active leak, call us and we’ll get someone out as soon as possible to tarp the area and stop the water intrusion.
Emergency repairs are temporary solutions to protect your home until we can complete a proper replacement or permanent repair. We’ll assess the damage, secure the skylight opening, and give you a clear timeline for the permanent fix. Our goal is to prevent further damage to your ceiling, walls, and belongings while we schedule the full repair work.
Velux skylights are engineered specifically for climates like ours. They use double-pane insulated glass that reduces heat loss in winter and keeps your home cooler in summer. The frames are built to handle expansion and contraction from temperature swings without warping or cracking. They also come with real warranties that cover both the product and installation when installed by certified contractors.
We install Velux because they perform well in Long Island weather and because their flashing kits are designed to integrate properly with different roofing materials. Cheaper skylights might save you money upfront, but they often fail sooner and cost more in repairs and energy loss over time. Velux units typically last 20 to 30 years when installed correctly, which makes them a better long-term investment for your home.
Yes, if your current skylight has fogged glass, cracked seals, or poor insulation around the shaft. Older skylights are major sources of heat loss in winter and heat gain in summer. You’re essentially paying to heat or cool the outdoors because the skylight isn’t doing its job.
Modern Velux skylights with Low-E glass and proper installation can significantly reduce energy loss. The insulated glass keeps conditioned air inside your home where it belongs. When we install the skylight, we also make sure the shaft is properly insulated and sealed so there are no gaps for air to leak through. Most homeowners notice a difference in comfort right away, and the energy savings add up over time. If your skylight is more than 15 years old, replacement with an energy-efficient unit usually pays for itself within a few years through lower utility bills.
