The natural light floods in crystal clear through unfogged glass that actually lets brightness through. Your rooms feel larger, more welcoming, and genuinely comfortable to spend time in.
We’ve been solving skylight problems across Suffolk County for over 10 years. We’re not just another contractor – we’re your neighbors who understand exactly what Long Island weather throws at your roof.
Every skylight replacement gets personal oversight from our licensed team. We combine proven craftsmanship with modern sealing techniques because we know that in Shirley, NY, a skylight that leaks isn’t just an inconvenience – it’s a disaster waiting to happen.
We use no subcontractors. Every crew member is properly trained, licensed, and insured. When we guarantee leak-free installation, that guarantee comes from people who live and work in your community.
First, we inspect your current skylight and surrounding roof area to understand exactly why it’s failing. Most leaks aren’t actually from cracked glass – they’re 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. No shortcuts that create bigger problems later.
Then we install your new Velux skylight using our proven weatherproofing system: proper step flashing, quality underlayment, and multiple seal barriers designed specifically for Suffolk County’s freeze-thaw cycles and wind-driven rain.
Finally, we test everything thoroughly and clean up completely. Most single skylight replacements take 4-6 hours and are completed in one day, weather permitting.

Every skylight replacement includes premium Velux glass units engineered specifically for Long Island’s coastal weather. These aren’t cheap plastic domes that yellow and crack – they’re tempered glass that stays crystal clear for decades.
We handle every detail: cutting the opening, installing proper flashing, sealing against Shirley’s wind-driven rain, and finishing the interior work so your ceiling looks perfect. Your installation includes integrated flashing systems that work with your roof, not against it.
Shirley homeowners also 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 up to 26%. Every installation comes with our leak-free guarantee plus comprehensive warranties on both materials and labor.
Skylight replacement in Shirley, NY typically ranges from $800 to $2,500 per skylight including professional installation. The final cost depends on your skylight size, roof type, and any additional features you choose.
Velux skylights with our 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, and financing options are available for qualified homeowners. Most homeowners find the energy savings and increased home value make it a worthwhile investment.
Most skylight leaks in Shirley happen because of improper flashing installation or degraded sealants, not the skylight itself. In Suffolk County’s freeze-thaw cycles, water gets into small gaps, freezes, expands, and creates larger openings over time.
We prevent leaks by using integrated flashing systems, multiple waterproof barriers, and proper installation techniques. Our installations include step flashing around the sides and continuous flashing at the head and sill, all sealed with high-grade materials designed specifically for Long Island weather. That’s why we can offer a leak-free guarantee on every installation.
It depends on your skylight’s age and condition. If the frame is structurally sound and the flashing isn’t compromised, glass replacement might be possible for newer units under 15 years old.
However, most skylights in Shirley over 15 years old benefit from complete replacement because the seals, hardware, and flashing typically need updating too. Complete replacement is usually the most reliable, warranty-backed, and cost-predictable solution – especially when you factor in leak-chasing trips and interior damage risk. We’ll assess your specific situation during our free inspection and recommend the most cost-effective solution that actually solves the problem long-term.
Most single skylight replacements take 4-6 hours, depending on roof type and access. We typically complete the work in one day, weather permitting. Flat roof installations may take longer due to additional waterproofing steps.
We always protect your home’s interior with tarps and work efficiently to minimize disruption. Spring and fall are ideal for skylight replacement in Shirley because weather conditions are more predictable, but we handle installations year-round. If your skylight is leaking now, waiting for perfect weather just means more water damage to your ceilings and walls.
Yes, properly installed energy-efficient skylights can significantly reduce energy costs in Shirley homes. They eliminate the need for artificial lighting during daylight hours, which can cut electricity usage substantially in rooms that previously required lights all day.
Modern Velux skylights with Low-E glass also provide insulation benefits. In winter, they allow solar heat gain while minimizing heat loss. In summer, they can be paired with blinds to control heat gain. Velux skylights can be up to 35% more energy efficient than older plastic skylights, potentially saving $10-15 monthly on electricity. Most homeowners see noticeable reductions in their energy bills within the first few months.
We provide a comprehensive leak-free guarantee on all skylight installations, backed by our workmanship warranty and the manufacturer’s product 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 the premium materials we use and the professional installation techniques that prevent the problems other contractors leave behind.
