We’ve been serving East Quogue homeowners for over 15 years. We understand the unique challenges of Long Island’s coastal weather and how it affects your skylights.

That’s why we do it right the first time. Every installation meets local building codes and manufacturer specifications, protecting both your investment and your insurance coverage in East Quogue, NY.
We start with a free inspection to identify the real problem. Sometimes it’s just the flashing around your attic window. Other times, the entire unit needs replacement.
Once we know what you’re dealing with, we provide upfront pricing with no surprises. We source quality Velux skylights that are built for Long Island weather and install them properly the first time.
The installation includes removing your old skylight, updating flashing and seals, installing the new unit, and completing any interior work like drywall repair and painting. Most skylight replacements in East Quogue are completed in one day, so you’re not dealing with an open roof for weeks.

Your skylight replacement includes everything needed for a professional installation. We handle the old skylight removal, roof preparation, new Velux skylight installation, and interior finishing work.
East Quogue’s location near the water means your skylights face salt air, high winds, and temperature fluctuations that can cause seals to fail. We use marine-grade flashing and sealants designed for coastal conditions.
Every installation comes with manufacturer warranty coverage and our guarantee that the work meets local building codes. We also coordinate with your insurance company if the flat roof skylight replacement is covered under your homeowner’s policy.
Skylight replacement typically costs between $800 and $2,400 per unit, depending on size and type. The total project cost includes removing the old skylight, installing the new Velux unit, updating flashing, and completing interior work.
Factors that affect cost include skylight size, roof accessibility, and whether interior repairs are needed. Vented skylights cost more than fixed units due to their added functionality. In East Quogue’s high-value housing market, professional installation protects your investment.
We provide free estimates with upfront pricing so you know exactly what to expect. Most homeowners find that professional replacement costs less than dealing with ongoing leak damage and multiple repair attempts over time.
Most skylight replacements are completed in 3-5 hours for a standard installation. This includes removing the old unit, preparing the roof opening, installing the new skylight, and completing interior work.
Complex installations on steep roofs or larger units may take a full day. We always protect your home with tarps and coverings, so you don’t have to worry about weather during the installation process.
We schedule installations when weather conditions are favorable and can typically complete the work in one visit. Emergency repairs for leaking skylights can often be done the same day you call, which is crucial during East Quogue’s storm season.
Velux skylights perform best in East Quogue’s coastal environment. Their tempered glass and reinforced frames handle the salt air and wind conditions common near the water.
For most applications, we recommend double-pane, low-E glass units that provide excellent insulation and UV protection. Vented models work well in bathrooms and kitchens where moisture control is important in humid Long Island conditions.
Fixed skylights are the most economical option for areas where you just want natural light. Solar-powered vented units offer convenience and energy efficiency, automatically closing when rain is detected during coastal storms.
Insurance coverage depends on why the skylight needs replacement. Storm damage, hail, or other covered perils are typically covered under your homeowner’s policy.
Gradual deterioration or maintenance issues usually aren’t covered. However, if leaks from an old skylight cause interior damage, that damage may be covered even if the skylight glass replacement isn’t.
We work directly with insurance companies and can provide documentation needed for claims. Professional installation is crucial because insurance companies may deny coverage for damage caused by improper installation, which is why choosing licensed contractors matters.
Visible cracks in the glass, persistent leaks, or fogging between glass panes usually mean replacement is needed. Minor flashing issues or loose seals can often be repaired cost-effectively.
Age is also a factor. Skylights over 15-20 years old may be worth replacing even if they’re not leaking yet, especially if you’re planning other roof work. East Quogue’s coastal conditions can accelerate wear on older units.
We provide free inspections to assess your skylights and recommend the most cost-effective solution. Sometimes a repair will buy you a few more years, while other times replacement is the smarter long-term investment for your home’s value.
Yes, modern Velux skylights significantly reduce energy costs compared to older units. Low-E glass and improved insulation reduce heat loss in winter and heat gain in summer.
Natural light from skylights reduces the need for artificial lighting during the day. In East Quogue’s climate, this can lower your electric bill by 10-15% depending on your home’s layout and current lighting usage.
Energy-efficient skylights may also qualify for tax credits and rebates. The energy savings often offset a significant portion of the replacement cost over the skylight’s lifespan, making new skylight installation a smart investment for East Quogue homeowners.
