Hear From Our Clients
You’re tired of staring at that water stain on your ceiling. Or maybe you’ve already put a bucket under your skylight twice this year. Either way, you know something needs to change.
Here’s what happens after we replace your skylight: no more leaks, no more drafts, and no more wondering if the next storm will ruin your ceiling again. Your energy bills drop because modern Velux skylights use double-pane glass that actually insulates. Your rooms feel bigger and brighter without costing you a fortune to heat and cool.
Most Westhampton homeowners tell us the real benefit isn’t just the money they save on electricity. It’s finally enjoying natural light without living in fear of the next rainstorm. Dark rooms transform into spaces you actually want to spend time in. That cramped feeling disappears when sunlight fills the room from above.
We’re not talking about a temporary fix. When we install a skylight, it’s engineered to handle everything Long Island throws at it—summer heat, winter ice, coastal humidity, and those surprise nor’easters that test every seal and joint.
We’ve spent two decades learning what works in Suffolk County and what doesn’t. We’ve seen which skylight brands hold up to coastal weather and which ones start leaking within five years. That’s why we only install Velux—because after 20 years of installations, we know what lasts.
We’re licensed, insured, and local. That matters because we’re not disappearing after the job. If something goes wrong, you know exactly where to find us. Our reputation in Westhampton depends on doing the work right the first time.
You won’t get a sales pitch from us. You’ll get an honest assessment of whether you need a full replacement or if a repair makes more sense. Sometimes the answer is repair. When it’s replacement, we’ll explain exactly why and show you what’s failing.
We start with an inspection of your current skylight and roof structure. You need to know what’s causing the problem—whether it’s the skylight itself, the flashing, or both. We’ll show you exactly what’s wrong and explain your options without pushing you toward the most expensive solution.
Once you decide to move forward, we handle the permits and schedule the work around your life. Most residential skylight replacements in Westhampton take one to two days depending on your roof complexity and whether we’re working with an existing opening or creating a new one.
On installation day, we protect your interior with tarps and containment barriers. We remove the old skylight, inspect and repair any roof deck damage, then install new flashing that’s designed to move with your roof as temperatures change. The new Velux skylight goes in with proper sealing and waterproofing at every layer. We don’t rush this part—it’s where most leaks start.
After installation, we test everything, clean up completely, and walk you through the warranty coverage. You’ll know exactly what’s covered and for how long. Then we’re done, but we’re not gone. If you ever have a question or concern, you call us directly.

Your skylight replacement includes everything needed for a leak-free installation. That means the Velux skylight unit, custom flashing systems engineered for your roof type, ice and water shield protection, and professional-grade sealants that expand and contract with Suffolk County’s temperature swings.
We’re not cutting corners with builder-grade materials. Westhampton’s coastal location means salt air, humidity, and temperature extremes that test every component. The flashing we use is designed specifically for Long Island weather patterns—those freeze-thaw cycles that crack cheap sealants and create gaps where water sneaks through.
You also get our 10-year installation warranty and Velux’s manufacturer warranty that covers the skylight itself for up to 30 years depending on the model. If we install it and it leaks, we come back and fix it at no charge. That’s not fine print—that’s our guarantee.
Most installations also include interior finishing work to match your existing ceiling. If we need to reframe the opening or repair damaged drywall, that’s part of the job. You’re not left with a finished skylight and a torn-up ceiling. When we leave, the job is complete.
Skylight replacement in Westhampton typically runs between $1,500 and $3,500 per skylight including professional installation. That range depends on your skylight size, roof complexity, and whether we’re replacing an existing unit or creating a new opening.
Here’s what affects the price: A simple skylight swap on an accessible roof costs less than installing a larger unit on a steep pitch or dealing with structural modifications. Velux skylights with professional installation usually cost three to four times the price of the unit alone, but that includes proper flashing, waterproofing, and our leak-free guarantee.
Remember, you’re not just paying for the skylight—you’re investing in professional installation that prevents costly water damage down the road. Cheap installations often lead to expensive repairs that far exceed the initial savings. We’ve fixed plenty of those.
If your skylight is less than 10 years old and the unit itself is fine, a repair might make sense. We can often fix flashing issues, replace seals, or address minor leaks without full replacement.
However, most skylights over 15 years old benefit from complete replacement because the seals, hardware, and flashing typically need updating too. If you’re dealing with condensation between glass panes, visible cracks, or persistent leaks despite previous repairs, replacement is usually more cost-effective than throwing money at temporary fixes.
Here’s the honest answer: we’ll inspect your skylight and tell you which option makes sense. Sometimes that’s a $400 repair. Sometimes it’s a full replacement. We’re not going to sell you a new skylight if fixing the flashing solves your problem. But we’re also not going to patch something that’s going to fail again in two years.
Most residential skylight replacements in Westhampton take one to two days depending on the complexity of your roof and interior finishing requirements. Simple replacements where the opening already exists often complete in a single day.
If we’re creating a new opening, dealing with structural modifications, or working on a particularly steep or complex roof, the job might extend to two days. Weather can also affect timing—we’re not installing skylights in the rain or when conditions prevent proper sealing.
You’ll know the timeline upfront. We don’t start a job without explaining exactly how long it will take and what to expect each day. Most homeowners are surprised by how quickly we work while still doing everything properly. We’re efficient, but we’re not rushing through the waterproofing steps that prevent future leaks.
About 75% of skylight leaks don’t come from the skylight itself—they come from improper installation, specifically problems with the flashing. Flashing is the metal and waterproof barrier that connects your skylight to your roof. If it’s installed incorrectly or with cheap materials, water finds a way through.
In Suffolk County’s freeze-thaw cycles, water gets into small gaps, freezes, expands, and creates larger openings. That’s why we use flashing systems designed to move with your roof as temperatures change. We also layer multiple waterproofing barriers—ice and water shield, proper step flashing, and professional-grade sealants that don’t crack or separate over time.
The other common cause is age. Seals deteriorate, materials break down, and components that were fine for 15 years start failing. That’s normal wear and tear, not a defect. When we replace your skylight, every component is new and engineered for Long Island’s coastal weather. We’re preventing the problems before they start.
Yes, we provide emergency skylight repair throughout Westhampton and Suffolk County. If your skylight is actively leaking and causing water damage, call us. We’ll get someone out to stop the immediate problem with temporary measures, then schedule permanent repairs as soon as weather permits.
Emergency service includes tarping, temporary sealing, and interior protection to prevent further damage to your ceiling and belongings. We can’t always do a full replacement during a storm, but we can stop the leak until conditions allow for proper installation.
Keep in mind that emergency calls cost more than scheduled work—you’re paying for immediate response and after-hours availability. But if water is pouring into your home, that emergency fee is a lot cheaper than the cost of ceiling repairs, mold remediation, and damaged furniture. We’re available 24/7 because we know leaks don’t wait for business hours.
We install Velux skylights exclusively because they’re engineered for climates like ours and backed by real warranties. After 20 years of installations, we’ve seen which brands hold up and which ones don’t. Velux consistently performs better in Suffolk County’s weather conditions.
You can choose from fixed skylights that don’t open, manual venting skylights you open with a pole or crank, or solar-powered models that open automatically for ventilation and close when it rains. All options include double-pane glass that reduces heat loss in winter and keeps your home cooler in summer.
We’ll help you select the right size and style based on your room layout, roof pitch, and how much natural light you want. Some homeowners want maximum light. Others prefer smaller units for specific areas. There’s no one-size-fits-all answer—it depends on your space and what you’re trying to achieve.
