Hear From Our Clients
Your ceilings stay pristine white instead of stained brown. Water stops dripping onto your floors during every nor’easter that hits East Hampton North.
Your energy bills drop because modern Velux skylights actually insulate instead of bleeding heat like those old plastic domes. The natural light you’ve been missing finally fills your rooms without the constant worry about the next leak.
When friends visit, they notice how bright and welcoming your home feels. When storms hit, you watch the rain from inside your warm, dry house instead of scrambling for buckets and towels.
We’ve spent over 10 years watching East Hampton North homeowners deal with the same skylight nightmare. Beautiful coastal homes with ugly water stains and buckets scattered around during every storm.
We became skylight replacement specialists because we got tired of seeing good people get burned by contractors who treated skylights like regular windows. East Hampton North’s salt air, wind-driven rain, and temperature swings demand expertise that most contractors simply don’t have.
Every skylight we replace comes with our guarantee that it won’t leak. We use Velux products because they’re engineered for our coastal climate, and we install them using techniques we’ve perfected through thousands of Suffolk County projects.
First, we inspect your current skylight and surrounding roof area to understand why it’s failing. Most leaks aren’t coming from cracked glass—they’re coming from failed flashing, worn seals, or improper installation from years ago.
Next, we carefully remove your old skylight and inspect the roof opening. If we find rot or damage, we fix it properly instead of just covering it up. Then we install your new Velux skylight using our proven weatherproofing system: proper flashing, quality underlayment, and multiple seal barriers.
Finally, we test everything thoroughly and clean up completely. Your skylight replacement includes premium Velux glass units engineered for East Hampton North’s coastal weather. These aren’t plastic domes that yellow and crack—they’re tempered glass that stays crystal clear for decades.

Your skylight replacement includes everything needed for leak-free performance in East Hampton North’s challenging coastal environment. We handle cutting the opening, installing proper flashing, sealing against wind-driven rain, and finishing interior work so your ceiling looks perfect.
East Hampton North’s unique challenges—salt air corrosion, hurricane-force winds, and freeze-thaw cycles—are built into our installation process. You get options most contractors don’t offer: solar-powered venting skylights for better air circulation, remote controls for hard-to-reach units, and energy-efficient glazing that qualifies for federal tax credits.
Velux skylights can be up to 35% more energy efficient than older plastic skylights, potentially saving you $10-15 monthly on electricity bills. Quality skylights properly installed should last 15-20 years in East Hampton North’s coastal environment, with Velux often exceeding this timeframe.
Skylight replacement in East Hampton North typically ranges from $1,200 to $4,500 per unit, depending on size, type, and roof complexity. Velux skylights with professional installation usually cost 3-4 times the price of the unit alone, but this includes proper flashing, waterproofing, and our leak-free guarantee.
We provide upfront pricing with no hidden fees. The investment pays off through lower energy bills, no more water damage repairs, and increased home value. Financing options are available for qualified homeowners.
Most skylight leaks happen because of improper flashing installation or degraded sealants, not the skylight itself. In East Hampton North’s coastal environment, salt air accelerates deterioration of rubber seals and metal components while freeze-thaw cycles cause water to get into small gaps, freeze, expand, and create larger openings.
Three out of four skylight leaks stem from problems with the skylight unit itself—deteriorated seals between glass panes, cracked glass from weather damage, or warped frames. Poor initial installation is another common culprit. If the skylight wasn’t properly sealed or flashed when first installed, even high-quality units will eventually develop leaks.
We prevent leaks by using integrated flashing systems, multiple waterproof barriers, and installation techniques specifically designed for East Hampton North’s coastal conditions.
Quality Velux skylights properly installed should last 15-20 years in East Hampton North’s coastal environment, often exceeding this timeframe because their tempered glass and engineered seals are specifically designed for harsh weather conditions. The key is professional installation.
DIY or poorly installed skylights might fail within 2-3 years due to East Hampton North’s salt air, wind-driven rain, and temperature extremes. Our installation techniques account for these local conditions. We’ve seen original skylights from the 1990s still performing perfectly because they were installed correctly from the start.
Cheap plastic skylights or budget installations rarely make it past 10 years without major problems. Velux skylights are engineered for coastal climates and backed by comprehensive warranties.
We provide a comprehensive leak-free guarantee on all skylight installations, backed by our workmanship warranty and Velux’s manufacturer warranty. Velux skylights come with up to 10 years on materials and we warranty our installation work.
If your skylight leaks due to our installation within the warranty period, we’ll fix it at no charge. We’ve been serving Suffolk County for over 10 years and stand behind every job we complete. Our warranty covers both materials and labor because we know East Hampton North’s coastal conditions demand superior installation techniques.
This isn’t just a piece of paper—it’s our commitment to keeping your home dry and comfortable for years to come.
Spring and fall are ideal for skylight replacement in East Hampton North because weather conditions are more predictable. We can complete the work without worrying about summer thunderstorms or winter ice storms. However, we handle emergency replacements year-round.
If your skylight is actively leaking, don’t wait. Water damage gets worse every day, and East Hampton North’s coastal moisture can lead to mold and rot issues quickly. We provide emergency response to stop active leaks and protect your home from further damage.
Our first priority is stopping water infiltration with temporary sealing measures if needed, then we assess the damage and develop a plan for permanent repairs.
Yes, flat roof skylights need different installation techniques than pitched roofs, and we specialize in both. We use curb-mounted systems with multiple layers of waterproof membrane and proper drainage to prevent pooling water, which is crucial in East Hampton North’s coastal environment.
Our flat roof skylight installations include custom flashing, reinforced mounting, and sloped insulation to direct water away from the opening. This prevents the ponding water issues that cause most flat roof skylight failures. We understand how East Hampton North’s weather patterns affect flat roof drainage and design our installations accordingly.
The installation process takes longer than pitched roof skylights, but the results are worth it—leak-free performance that handles everything from nor’easters to summer downpours.
