We’ve been fixing and replacing skylights in Coram since 2009. We understand how Long Island’s weather affects your home – from nor’easters that test every seal to summer heat that can warp inferior materials.
Our team knows Coram’s housing stock, from the Colonial Revival homes near Route 112 to the newer developments off Middle Country Road. We’ve worked on everything from small bathroom skylights to large living room installations, always focusing on permanent solutions that protect your investment.
You’re not just getting a contractor – you’re getting neighbors who live and work in this community. We stand behind every job because our reputation depends on it.
We start with a thorough inspection of your existing skylight and surrounding roof area. You’ll know exactly what’s causing the problem and what needs to be fixed before we start any work.
Next, we carefully remove the old skylight and inspect the roof opening for any hidden damage. We replace or repair the roof deck if needed, then install new flashing and waterproof barriers designed for your specific roof type.
Your new skylight goes in with precision – properly sized, sealed, and integrated with your roofing system. We clean up completely and test everything to make sure it’s watertight. You get a detailed explanation of the work completed and care instructions for your new skylight.

Every skylight replacement includes high-quality Velux windows designed for Long Island’s climate. You get energy-efficient glass, durable frames, and professional-grade flashing systems that prevent leaks for decades.
We handle flat roof skylights, pitched roof installations, and specialty applications like bathroom ventilation units. Our service covers everything from single skylight replacements to whole-house projects with multiple units.
Coram homeowners appreciate our attention to detail – we protect your landscaping during work, coordinate with your schedule, and ensure minimal disruption to your daily routine. Your investment includes proper permits, manufacturer warranties, and our guarantee on workmanship.
Skylight replacement costs in Coram typically range from $800 to $2,500 per unit, depending on size, type, and roof complexity. A standard 2×4 foot Velux skylight replacement usually costs $1,200-$1,800 including materials and installation.
The investment includes removing your old skylight, repairing any roof damage, installing new flashing and sealing systems, and mounting your new energy-efficient unit. Complex installations on steep roofs or flat roof systems may cost more due to additional safety requirements and specialized materials.
We provide detailed written estimates that break down all costs upfront – no surprises or hidden fees. Most Coram homeowners find the investment pays for itself through energy savings and eliminated repair costs within a few years.
Quality skylights like Velux units typically last 20-30 years when properly installed in Long Island’s climate. The key is professional installation with correct flashing and sealing techniques that handle our weather extremes.
Long Island’s nor’easters, summer storms, and temperature swings demand robust installation methods. We use ice and water barriers, step flashing, and premium sealants designed specifically for our regional weather patterns. This prevents the premature failures that plague DIY installations or cut-rate contractor work.
Your skylight’s lifespan also depends on maintenance – keeping gutters clean, trimming overhanging branches, and periodic inspections. We provide maintenance guidelines and offer annual inspection services to help maximize your investment.
Yes, we specialize in solving intermittent skylight leaks that only appear during specific conditions like wind-driven rain or ice dam formation. These selective leaks usually indicate flashing problems or inadequate sealing around the skylight frame.
Wind-driven rain can find tiny gaps that normal rainfall doesn’t penetrate. Ice dams create backup conditions that force water into areas that are normally dry. We identify these vulnerable spots and reinforce them with proper waterproofing techniques.
Sometimes the solution is targeted repairs to flashing or sealing systems. Other times, the skylight needs complete replacement with upgraded installation methods. We’ll diagnose the exact cause and recommend the most cost-effective permanent solution for your specific situation.
Most skylight replacements in Coram require building permits, especially when changing sizes or making structural modifications. We handle all permit applications and inspections as part of our service – you don’t need to navigate Town of Brookhaven requirements yourself.
Simple like-for-like replacements may not need permits, but it’s always better to verify with local building officials. We know Coram’s specific requirements and maintain good relationships with local inspectors, which helps ensure smooth project approval and completion.
Proper permits protect you during insurance claims and when selling your home. They also ensure the work meets current building codes for wind resistance and energy efficiency. We include all necessary permits in our project pricing so there are no surprise costs later.
Skylight repairs work for minor issues like worn seals, small flashing gaps, or condensation problems. These typically cost $200-$600 and can extend your skylight’s life by several years if the overall unit is still in good condition.
Replacement becomes necessary when the skylight frame is damaged, glass is cracked, or flashing systems have failed extensively. Older skylights often develop multiple problems simultaneously, making replacement more cost-effective than repeated repairs.
We evaluate each situation honestly – sometimes a $300 repair buys you several more years, other times spending $1,500 on replacement saves you from ongoing problems and water damage. Our assessment considers your skylight’s age, condition, and your long-term plans for the home to recommend the best approach.
Emergency skylight repairs can often be completed within 24-48 hours to stop active leaks and prevent water damage. Complete skylight replacement typically takes 2-5 days depending on weather conditions and project complexity.
We prioritize leak situations that threaten your home’s interior. Our emergency service includes temporary weatherproofing while we order materials and schedule the full replacement. This prevents further damage while ensuring we have time to do the job right.
Weather plays a big role in scheduling – we won’t compromise quality by working in unsuitable conditions. However, we maintain good material inventory and flexible scheduling to minimize delays once conditions allow safe, quality installation work.
