Velux Skylight Replacement Specialists

Why Velux Skylights Last Longer

Not all skylights are created equal. We install Velux skylights because they’re engineered for our climate and backed by real warranties. Their double-pane glass reduces heat loss in winter and keeps your home cooler in summer. The difference is in the details. Velux skylights come with integrated flashing systems that actually work with your roof, not against it. Their solar-powered models open automatically for ventilation and close when it rains. After 20 years of installations, we’ve seen which brands hold up and which ones don’t.

Flat Roof Skylight Installation

Flat Roof Solutions That Don't Leak

Flat roof skylights need different installation techniques than pitched roofs. We use curb-mounted systems with multiple layers of waterproof membrane and proper drainage to prevent pooling water. Our flat roof skylight installations include custom flashing, reinforced mounting, and sloped insulation to direct water away from the opening. We also upgrade the surrounding roof membrane when needed to ensure your entire roof system works together. Every flat roof skylight comes with our leak-free guarantee.

Skylight Replacement FAQs

Common Questions About Our Service

How much does skylight replacement cost in Suffolk County?

Skylight replacement costs vary based on size, type, and roof complexity, typically ranging from $800 to $2,500 per skylight including installation. 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, and financing options are available for qualified homeowners.

Why do skylights leak and how do you prevent it?

Most skylight leaks 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. 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 for Long Island weather.

Can you replace just the glass or do I need a whole new skylight?

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. However, most skylights over 15 years old benefit from complete replacement because the seals, hardware, and flashing typically need updating too. We'll assess your specific situation during our free inspection and recommend the most cost-effective solution that actually solves the problem long-term.

How long does skylight installation take?

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. If weather delays the project, we'll secure the opening completely until we can finish the installation safely.

Do new skylights really save money on energy bills?

Yes, modern skylights can significantly reduce energy costs when properly installed. Energy-efficient skylights with Low-E glass and proper insulation reduce artificial lighting needs during the day and provide passive solar heating in winter. Velux skylights can be up to 35% more energy efficient than older plastic skylights, potentially saving $10-15 monthly on electricity. The key is proper sizing, placement, and professional installation to maximize benefits while preventing heat loss.

What's your warranty on skylight replacement work?

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.
