No more buckets under the skylight when it rains. No more fogged glass that blocks the light you installed it for in the first place. No more watching your energy bills climb because your old skylight is leaking air along with water.
When you replace a failing skylight with a properly installed VELUX system, you get a leak-free guarantee that actually means something. You get double-pane glass that keeps your home comfortable year-round and cuts down on heating and cooling costs. Most West Hills homeowners notice the difference within the first month—rooms feel brighter, temperatures stay more consistent, and there’s no more stress when the forecast calls for rain.
A professional residential skylight replacement also protects your home’s value. Water damage spreads fast, and what starts as a small ceiling stain can turn into structural repairs, mold remediation, and thousands in fixes. Replacing the skylight before that happens is always the smarter move.
You also get same-day installation in most cases. We’re talking 4-6 hours for a single skylight, and you’re done. No weeks-long projects, no endless disruption.
We’ve spent more than 10 years working on homes across Suffolk County. We live here, work here, and understand what West Hills weather does to roofs and skylights. The freeze-thaw cycles, the nor’easters, the humid summers—your skylight takes a beating, and most installers don’t account for that.
We’re fully licensed and insured, and every skylight replacement comes with a leak-free guarantee. We don’t do temporary fixes or sell you repairs when you need a replacement. You get an honest assessment, upfront pricing, and installation that’s built to last decades.
When you call us, you’re not getting a national chain or a contractor who’s never worked in your neighborhood. You’re getting a local crew that knows Suffolk County homes inside and out.
First, we come out for a free inspection. We’ll look at your skylight, check the flashing, examine the roof membrane around it, and tell you exactly what’s going on. If it’s a simple fix, we’ll say so. If it needs replacement, we’ll explain why and what it’ll cost before we do anything.
Once you’re ready to move forward, we schedule the work around your timeline and the weather. Most single skylight replacements take between four and six hours, and we complete them in one day whenever possible. We remove the old skylight, inspect and upgrade the roof membrane if needed, install the new VELUX unit with proper flashing and waterproof sealing, and clean up completely before we leave.
After installation, you get a comprehensive warranty and our leak-free guarantee. If something goes wrong, we come back and make it right. No runaround, no excuses.
The whole process is designed to be straightforward. You’re not dealing with weeks of delays or crews that disappear halfway through. You get a clear timeline, professional work, and a skylight that actually works the way it’s supposed to.

Every skylight replacement includes removal of your old unit, disposal of all materials, and a full inspection of the roof structure underneath. We’re checking for any hidden damage before we install the new skylight—because the last thing you want is to put a new unit on top of rotted decking.
You get a VELUX skylight engineered for Long Island’s climate. That means double-pane glass, integrated flashing systems that work with your roof type, and energy efficiency that actually reduces your heating and cooling costs. These aren’t builder-grade units that fog up in five years. They’re built to last, and they come with real warranties.
We also handle all the flashing and waterproofing. This is where most skylight leaks actually happen—not from the skylight itself, but from improper installation. In West Hills, where freeze-thaw cycles expand small gaps into major leaks, this step matters more than most contractors realize. We use materials designed for Suffolk County weather, and we install them correctly the first time.
You also get transparent pricing with no hidden fees. The estimate we give you is what you pay. If we find something unexpected during installation, we talk to you before moving forward. No surprises on the final bill.
Most skylight replacements in West Hills run between $800 and $2,500 per unit, depending on the size, type, and roof complexity. That includes the VELUX skylight itself, all materials, labor, flashing, waterproofing, and cleanup.
Flat roof skylights tend to cost more because they require additional waterproofing and membrane work. Larger units or specialty glass options will also push the price higher. But you’re looking at a complete, professional installation—not just the skylight unit.
If your roof has damage around the skylight opening, that’ll add to the cost. We always inspect the decking and structure before installing the new unit, and if we find rot or structural issues, we’ll let you know what it’ll take to fix it properly. Most homeowners appreciate knowing upfront rather than dealing with problems down the road.
If your skylight is over 15 years old, replacement almost always makes more sense than repair. Older units weren’t built with the same energy efficiency standards, and the seals and flashing degrade over time. You can keep patching it, but you’re throwing money at a problem that’s only going to get worse.
Repairs work if you’ve got a newer skylight with a specific issue—like a cracked pane or a small flashing gap. But if you’re dealing with recurring leaks, fogged glass, or visible damage to the frame, replacement is the smarter investment. You’ll spend less in the long run, and you’ll actually solve the problem instead of just delaying it.
In Suffolk County, where weather accelerates wear and tear, older skylights fail faster. The freeze-thaw cycles we get here turn minor issues into major leaks in one season. If your skylight is already showing signs of trouble, replacing it now saves you from water damage repairs later.
Most single skylight replacements take between four and six hours from start to finish. We remove the old unit, prep the opening, install the new VELUX skylight with proper flashing and sealing, and clean up completely—all in one day.
Weather can affect the timeline. If it’s raining or snow is in the forecast, we’ll reschedule to make sure the installation is done right. You don’t want an open roof during a storm, and we’re not going to rush the job just to meet a deadline.
Larger projects or multiple skylights will take longer, but we’ll give you a clear timeline before we start. If we run into unexpected issues—like roof damage that needs repair—we’ll talk to you before moving forward. Most West Hills homeowners are surprised at how fast the process goes when it’s done by professionals who know what they’re doing.
Yes, if you’re replacing an old or damaged skylight with a modern ENERGY STAR certified unit. VELUX skylights with double-pane glass can reduce your heating and cooling costs by up to 13 percent, according to industry data. That’s real savings, especially in Suffolk County where we’re running heat in winter and AC all summer.
Older skylights leak air along with water. Even if you don’t see visible condensation, you’re losing conditioned air through gaps in the seal and outdated glass. A properly installed modern skylight stops that energy waste. Rooms stay warmer in winter, cooler in summer, and your HVAC system doesn’t have to work as hard.
The energy savings add up over time, but the comfort difference is immediate. Most homeowners notice it within the first few weeks—rooms feel more consistent, drafts disappear, and you’re not cranking the thermostat to compensate for a leaky skylight anymore.
Every skylight replacement we do comes with a leak-free guarantee and a comprehensive warranty on both the VELUX product and our installation work. If your skylight leaks because of something we did wrong, we come back and fix it at no cost to you.
VELUX skylights also come with their own manufacturer warranty, which covers defects in materials and workmanship. You’re protected on both ends—the product itself and the quality of the installation. That’s important, because about 75 percent of skylight leaks come from improper installation, not faulty products.
We stand behind our work because we live and work in Suffolk County. If something goes wrong, you’re not calling a national hotline or dealing with a contractor who’s moved on to the next town. You’re calling a local crew that’s been here for over a decade, and we’ll make it right.
West Hills gets hit with freeze-thaw cycles that most other parts of the country don’t deal with. Temperatures swing from the low 30s to above freezing and back again, sometimes in the same week. That expansion and contraction opens up small gaps in flashing and sealant, turning minor issues into major leaks fast.
We also get nor’easters that dump heavy rain and snow, plus high humidity in summer that accelerates material degradation. Your skylight is taking a beating year-round, and if it wasn’t installed correctly in the first place, Suffolk County weather will expose that weakness quickly.
That’s why proper flashing and waterproofing matter so much here. A skylight that might hold up fine in a milder climate will fail in a few years if it’s not installed with Long Island weather in mind. We use materials and techniques designed specifically for this environment, because we’ve seen what happens when contractors cut corners.
