Hear From Our Clients
Your mornings start with natural light flooding your space instead of water stains on the ceiling. No more buckets catching drips during storms or cranking up the heat because drafts are stealing your warmth.
You’ll see the difference on your energy bills when you’re not running lights all day or compensating for a leaky skylight that’s working against your HVAC system. Your home value goes up, and you stop worrying about interior damage spreading to drywall, insulation, or flooring.
Most importantly, you get peace of mind knowing it’s installed correctly the first time with materials that last decades, not years.
We’ve been serving Fort Salonga’s unique housing market for years. We understand the challenges that come with homes built in the 1940s and 1950s—the settling, the roof complexities, the way these older structures require a different approach than cookie-cutter installations.
Fort Salonga homeowners don’t settle for quick fixes, and neither do we. Your neighbors trust us because we show up when we say we will, use premium materials, and stand behind our work with real warranties.
We’re licensed, insured, and local. When you call, you’re talking to people who understand what it means to maintain a home in this area.
First, we inspect your current skylight and roof structure to identify the real problem. Sometimes it’s the skylight itself, sometimes it’s the flashing, sometimes it’s both. We’ll tell you exactly what needs to be fixed and why.
Next, we remove the old unit carefully to avoid damage to your roof or interior. We inspect the opening, replace any compromised materials, and ensure the structural integrity is sound before moving forward.
Then comes the critical part: proper installation with premium VELUX products and professional-grade flashing that creates a permanent water barrier. We test everything before we clean up and walk you through the completed work.
You get a warranty on both materials and labor, plus our contact information for any questions down the road.

Every skylight replacement includes removal of your old unit, disposal of all materials, and installation of a new VELUX skylight with proper flashing and weatherproofing. We handle any necessary roof repairs and ensure your interior finishing matches the existing space.
Fort Salonga’s coastal location means your skylight faces salt air, temperature swings, and severe weather. That’s why we use VELUX products designed for Long Island conditions—they’re engineered to handle what nature throws at them while maintaining energy efficiency.
You also get our leak-free guarantee, which means if water gets through our installation, we come back and make it right at no charge. Most contractors won’t offer that level of commitment because they’re not confident in their work.
Skylight replacement in Fort Salonga typically runs between $2,500 and $6,000, depending on the size, type, and complexity of your roof. The total cost includes the VELUX skylight unit, professional installation, flashing, any necessary roof repairs, and interior finishing work.
Fixed skylights are the most affordable option, while vented or solar-powered units cost more but offer additional functionality. Your roof’s pitch, accessibility, and the condition of the surrounding structure all factor into the final price. We provide detailed written estimates so you know exactly what you’re paying for before we start.
If your skylight is cracked, has damaged glass, or the frame is compromised, replacement is your only option—repairs won’t solve the problem long-term. However, if the skylight itself is in good condition and the leak is coming from deteriorated flashing or sealant, a targeted repair might be sufficient.
Here’s the reality: most skylight leaks in Fort Salonga’s older homes stem from installation issues or age-related deterioration that affects multiple components. When repair costs approach 50-60% of replacement cost, replacement makes more financial sense because you get a full warranty and decades of trouble-free performance instead of a temporary fix.
Most skylight replacements in Fort Salonga are completed in one day, weather permitting. We arrive in the morning, remove the old unit, complete the installation, and clean up before evening. Complex jobs involving structural repairs or multiple skylights may take two days.
We schedule installations during favorable weather windows and monitor forecasts closely. If conditions aren’t ideal, we’ll reschedule rather than rush the job or compromise the installation quality. Your home stays protected throughout the process—we never leave an open hole in your roof overnight.
VELUX has been the industry leader for over 75 years, and their skylights are specifically engineered for durability and energy efficiency. They use laminated glass that’s stronger than standard skylight materials, advanced flashing systems that create superior water barriers, and frames designed to handle Long Island’s temperature extremes without warping or failing.
More importantly, VELUX products come with comprehensive warranties and readily available replacement parts. When you choose a lesser-known brand to save money upfront, you often end up paying more long-term because parts are harder to find and warranties are limited. VELUX skylights are also designed to integrate seamlessly with modern roofing materials and building codes.
Yes, we provide 24/7 emergency skylight services for Fort Salonga residents dealing with active leaks or storm damage. Emergency calls get priority scheduling, and we can often provide temporary weatherproofing the same day to prevent further interior damage while we arrange for permanent repairs.
Emergency service includes temporary tarping, water extraction assistance referrals, and expedited replacement when the skylight is beyond repair. We understand that water damage spreads quickly in Fort Salonga’s older homes, so we respond as quickly as possible to minimize the impact on your property and belongings.
Quality skylight installation typically increases home value in Fort Salonga’s market, where buyers appreciate natural light, energy efficiency, and professional upgrades. The exact return varies based on the skylight’s location, size, and how it enhances the overall living space, but properly installed skylights are generally viewed as desirable features.
Beyond direct value increase, skylights reduce energy costs by decreasing dependence on artificial lighting and can improve ventilation in upper-level rooms. In Fort Salonga’s competitive real estate market, homes with quality natural light features often sell faster than comparable properties. The key is professional installation that ensures long-term performance without maintenance headaches for future owners.
