Hear From Our Clients
You’re tired of dealing with water stains on your ceiling. Tired of placing buckets during storms. Tired of watching your energy bills climb because your old skylight lets air escape.
When we replace your skylight, you get back to enjoying what skylights are supposed to do. Natural light floods your space without the constant worry of leaks. Your home stays comfortable year-round because modern, energy-efficient skylights actually seal properly.
No more emergency calls during heavy rain. No more explaining water damage to insurance companies. Just reliable protection overhead and the peace of mind that comes with professional installation done right the first time.
We’ve been handling skylight replacements across Long Island for years. We understand how Medford’s weather patterns affect your home—from heavy winter snow loads that stress old skylights to summer heat that exposes poor sealing.
Our team knows the difference between a quick patch job and a lasting solution. We’ve seen too many homeowners get burned by contractors who just add more caulk and call it fixed. That’s not how we work.
We use quality materials designed for Long Island’s climate. Every replacement comes with proper flashing, professional-grade sealing, and installation techniques that keep water out for decades, not just until the next big storm.
First, we inspect your current skylight and the surrounding roof area to identify exactly what’s causing problems. Most leaks aren’t just flashing issues—often the skylight itself has failed and needs complete replacement.
We remove your old skylight carefully, protecting your interior from debris and weather. Then we install your new skylight with proper flashing systems and weatherproof sealing that’s designed to handle everything from ice dams to driving rain.
The installation typically takes one to two days depending on your specific situation. We clean up completely each day and test everything thoroughly before we consider the job done. You’ll know your new skylight is properly installed because it performs exactly as it should—no leaks, no drafts, just reliable natural light.

Your skylight replacement includes everything needed for long-term performance. We use energy-efficient skylights with tempered glass that can handle impacts from branches, hail, and other debris common in Medford’s tree-lined neighborhoods.
Every installation includes precision flashing systems specifically designed for your roof type. Whether you have asphalt shingles, metal roofing, or flat roof sections, we use the right materials and techniques for your specific situation.
Modern skylights offer features your old one probably doesn’t have—better insulation, UV protection, and even solar-powered options that can help reduce your energy costs. We’ll explain what makes sense for your home and budget, so you get exactly what you need without paying for features you won’t use.
If you’re seeing water stains, condensation between glass panes, or cracks in the skylight itself, replacement is usually your best option. Many homeowners try repairs first, but three out of four skylight leaks are caused by the skylight failing, not just the flashing around it.
Repairs make sense for minor issues like loose trim or small seal problems. But if your skylight is more than 15 years old and having persistent issues, replacement typically costs less in the long run than repeated repair attempts.
We’ll give you an honest assessment during our inspection. If a repair will actually solve your problem, we’ll tell you. But we won’t recommend patch jobs that just delay the inevitable.
Flashing is the metal barrier that seals the gap between your skylight and roof. When flashing fails, water can get into your home around the edges of the skylight. This can often be repaired if caught early.
But skylight replacement becomes necessary when the skylight unit itself has problems—cracked glass, failed seals, warped frames, or outdated single-pane construction that can’t keep up with modern energy efficiency standards.
Think of it this way: flashing problems cause leaks around your skylight, while skylight problems cause leaks through your skylight. We fix both, but the approach and cost are very different depending on what’s actually causing your water issues.
Most skylight replacements take one to two days, depending on your roof complexity and weather conditions. We schedule installations during clear weather windows to protect your home’s interior during the process.
Medford’s unpredictable weather means we sometimes need to adjust timelines, especially during winter months when ice and snow create safety concerns. We’ll never rush an installation just to meet a deadline if conditions aren’t right.
We always have tarps and temporary protection ready in case weather changes unexpectedly. Your home stays protected throughout the process, and we won’t leave any opening exposed overnight or during storms.
For Long Island homes, we typically recommend double-pane, tempered glass skylights with Low-E coatings. These handle our temperature swings better than single-pane units and provide better insulation during both summer heat and winter cold.
The frame material matters too. Vinyl and fiberglass frames expand and contract less than aluminum, which means better long-term sealing in our climate. For areas that get heavy snow loads, we use skylights rated for higher structural loads.
Flat roof applications need curb-mounted skylights with proper drainage systems. Sloped roofs can use either curb-mount or deck-mount installations, depending on your specific roof construction and aesthetic preferences.
Skylight replacement costs in the Medford area typically range from $800 to $4,000, depending on skylight size, type, and installation complexity. Basic replacement of a standard-size skylight with similar materials runs on the lower end, while upgrading to larger, energy-efficient units costs more.
Roof accessibility, structural modifications, and interior finishing work can affect the final price. Flat roof installations often cost more due to additional waterproofing requirements, while simple replacements on accessible sloped roofs cost less.
We provide detailed written estimates that break down material and labor costs, so you know exactly what you’re paying for. No surprises, no hidden fees, and no pressure to upgrade beyond what makes sense for your situation and budget.
Yes, we warranty both our installation work and help you understand the manufacturer warranties on your new skylight. Our installation warranty covers proper sealing and weatherproofing for years after completion.
Skylight manufacturers like Velux typically offer 10-20 year warranties on their products, covering both materials and performance. We’ll walk you through what’s covered and help you register your warranty properly.
If you have any issues with your new skylight, we’ll come back and make it right. We’ve been serving Long Island homeowners for years, and our reputation depends on installations that perform exactly as promised, season after season.
