Hear From Our Clients
You shouldn’t have to set out buckets when a storm rolls in. A properly installed skylight doesn’t leak, doesn’t fog up, and doesn’t turn your attic into a sauna every summer.
When we replace your skylight, you get double-pane insulated glass that cuts heat loss in winter and keeps your home cooler when it’s humid. You get integrated flashing systems that actually seal against Long Island’s freeze-thaw cycles and coastal moisture. And you get a warranty that covers water infiltration—not just the glass, but the installation itself.
That means better energy bills, more natural light, and zero anxiety when the forecast shows rain. Your home stays dry, your HVAC doesn’t work overtime, and you’re not calling someone back out in six months because the “fix” didn’t hold.
Home Team Construction has spent more than 10 years replacing skylights across Suffolk County. We’re fully licensed and insured, and every person on our crew is a direct employee—not a subcontractor we found last week.
East Moriches homes deal with salt air, nor’easters, and humidity that most contractors don’t account for. We do. We know how coastal weather accelerates wear on flashing and seals, and we know which materials hold up and which ones fail in two years.
You’re not getting a sales pitch. You’re getting honest pricing, Velux skylights engineered for this climate, and installation that’s backed by a comprehensive leak-free guarantee.
First, we come out and inspect your current skylight. We’re looking at the glass, the flashing, the curb, and the surrounding roof deck to see what’s actually causing the problem. Sometimes it’s the skylight itself. Sometimes it’s how it was installed. Either way, you’ll know before we start.
Once we remove the old unit, we check the roof structure for any water damage or rot. If there’s an issue, we fix it—because installing a new skylight over compromised decking just kicks the problem down the road. Then we install the new Velux skylight with factory flashing designed to integrate with your roof, not sit on top of it.
We seal everything with multiple waterproof barriers, test the installation, and clean up completely. The whole process typically takes one day for a standard roof skylight replacement, and you’re left with a unit that’s built to handle whatever Long Island weather throws at it.

Every skylight window replacement includes removal of your old unit, inspection and repair of the roof deck if needed, and installation of a new Velux skylight with integrated flashing. You’re getting double-pane insulated glass, factory-sealed curb mounts, and weatherproof installation designed specifically for Suffolk County’s climate.
We handle both fixed and vented skylights, and we work on pitched roofs and flat roof applications. If your home has an older skylight that’s fogged up, cracked, or just poorly installed, we pull it out and do it right. That includes proper flashing that ties into your shingles, ice and water shield around the opening, and sealing that won’t crack when temperatures swing.
East Moriches sits right on the water, which means your home takes more abuse than most. Salt air corrodes cheap materials. Humidity finds every gap. Storms test every seal. We account for all of it, because a skylight replacement that works in Arizona won’t last here. You need materials and methods built for coastal Long Island, and that’s what we use.
Most residential skylight replacements in East Moriches run between $2,300 and $3,100 for a standard-sized unit on a pitched roof. That includes removal of the old skylight, any necessary roof deck repairs, new Velux skylight installation with integrated flashing, and our leak-free warranty.
Flat roof skylights or larger custom units cost more because the installation is more involved. If there’s structural damage around the opening or your roof needs additional work, that affects the price too. We give you upfront pricing after we inspect your current setup—no surprises, no hidden fees.
We also offer 18-month interest-free financing if you’d rather spread out the cost. A new skylight adds value to your home, cuts your energy bills, and stops ongoing leak damage, so it pays for itself over time.
Most skylight replacements take one full day from start to finish. We remove the old unit, inspect and prep the opening, install the new skylight with proper flashing and sealing, and clean up completely before we leave.
If we find rot or structural damage in the roof deck, that adds time because we’re not installing over compromised wood. Flat roof installations can take a bit longer depending on the membrane type and how the curb needs to be integrated. But you’ll know the timeline before we start.
We don’t leave your roof open overnight. If weather becomes an issue mid-job, we tarp and secure everything so your home stays protected. The goal is to get your new skylight installed quickly without rushing the details that prevent leaks.
Yes—if it’s installed correctly with the right materials. Most skylight leaks aren’t caused by the glass itself. They’re caused by improper flashing, gaps in the seal, or installation that doesn’t account for how water moves across your roof during heavy rain.
We use Velux skylights with integrated flashing systems that tie directly into your shingles and underlayment. We install ice and water shield around the entire opening to create a waterproof barrier, and we use multiple layers of sealant designed to flex with temperature changes. That’s how you get a skylight that stays sealed through nor’easters, summer storms, and everything in between.
Our installations come with a comprehensive warranty against water infiltration. If it leaks, we come back and make it right. That’s not something you get with a quick patch job or a contractor who doesn’t understand how coastal weather affects roof penetrations.
Absolutely. You don’t need a new roof to replace a skylight. We work with your existing shingles and integrate the new flashing so everything ties in properly without disturbing areas that don’t need attention.
That said, if your roof is near the end of its lifespan or there’s significant damage around the skylight opening, it might make sense to address both at once. We’ll tell you if that’s the case during the inspection. But most skylight replacements are standalone jobs that don’t require touching the rest of your roof.
The key is making sure the new flashing integrates correctly with your current roofing material. We’re not just slapping a skylight on top and caulking around it. We’re weaving the flashing into your shingle courses so water sheds properly and the seal lasts as long as your roof does.
We primarily install Velux skylights because they’re engineered for climates like ours and they come with real warranties that actually mean something. Velux uses double-pane insulated glass, factory-sealed frames, and flashing kits designed to integrate with your roof—not just sit on top of it.
We’ve seen too many budget skylights fail within a few years because the seals don’t hold up to humidity and temperature swings. Velux units are built to last, and if something does go wrong, their warranty process is straightforward. You’re not fighting with a manufacturer who disappeared or a product line that got discontinued.
If you have a specific brand preference or an existing skylight that requires a certain replacement model, we can work with that. But when homeowners ask what we recommend for Long Island homes, the answer is Velux every time.
Repairs make sense if your skylight is relatively new and the issue is minor—like a small flashing gap or a broken operator on a vented unit. But if your skylight is more than 15 years old, fogged up between the panes, or leaking in multiple spots, replacement is the smarter move.
Old skylights don’t have the insulated glass or integrated flashing that modern units do. You can patch a leak temporarily, but you’re still left with a skylight that loses energy, fogs up in humid weather, and will probably leak again after the next big storm. At that point, you’re throwing money at a problem that’s only going to get worse.
Replacement gives you a fresh start with materials designed for today’s weather and energy standards. You get better insulation, a proper warranty, and a skylight that’s actually sealed against Long Island’s coastal climate. If you’re already calling someone out for the third time to fix the same leak, replacement is almost always the better investment.
