Home Team Construction has been serving Babylon homeowners for years, and we understand exactly what your home needs. From the salt air effects near the water to the specific building codes in Suffolk County, we get the local challenges.
We’re not the guys who show up, slap in a skylight, and disappear. We’re the team that does it right the first time – with proper flashing, quality materials, and installation that lasts. Our customers in Babylon stay customers because they never have to call us back for the same problem.
When you’re ready for skylight replacement that actually works, you’ll understand why your neighbors choose us.
First, we inspect your current skylight and the surrounding roof area to identify the real problem. Most “skylight leaks” aren’t actually skylight problems – they’re flashing, sealant, or installation issues that we can spot immediately.
Next, we remove the old unit carefully, checking for any roof damage or rot that needs addressing. We don’t just patch over problems – we fix them properly so they don’t come back.
Then we install your new skylight with proper flashing, quality sealants, and attention to every detail. We test everything before we leave, and we clean up completely. You get a skylight that works exactly as it should, backed by our workmanship guarantee.

Every skylight replacement includes professional-grade Velux products, complete flashing systems, and energy-efficient Low-E glass that actually reduces your utility bills. We handle all the details – permits, inspections, and cleanup.
In Babylon’s climate, proper installation matters more than most places. The salt air, winter storms, and summer heat put extra stress on roof penetrations. That’s why we use marine-grade sealants and follow Velux’s strict installation protocols designed for coastal environments.
You also get our workmanship guarantee and the peace of mind that comes from working with contractors who’ve been doing this right for years. No surprises, no shortcuts, no callbacks.
Skylight replacement in Babylon typically ranges from $1,200 to $3,500 per unit, depending on size, type, and complexity of installation. Velux skylights with energy-efficient Low-E glass run $1,800 to $2,800 for most standard installations.
The price includes removal of your old skylight, any necessary roof repairs, new flashing system, professional installation, and cleanup. Larger skylights or those requiring structural modifications cost more, while smaller tubular skylights start around $800.
We provide detailed written estimates that break down all costs upfront – no surprises or hidden fees after we start work.
Most skylight replacements take 4-6 hours for a single unit, completed in one day. We start early to take advantage of good weather and have your home sealed up before any afternoon storms.
Complex installations involving multiple skylights or structural modifications may take 1-2 days. We always check the weather forecast and plan accordingly – we never leave your roof open overnight or during bad weather.
The timeline includes removal, any roof repairs, installation of the new skylight with proper flashing, interior finishing, and complete cleanup. We work efficiently but never rush the critical sealing and flashing work.
Yes, modern energy-efficient skylights can reduce your electricity costs by 20-30% in rooms where they’re installed. Velux skylights with Low-E glass provide natural light during the day, reducing your need for artificial lighting.
In Babylon’s climate, properly installed skylights also provide passive solar heating in winter, which can lower heating costs. The key is professional installation with proper insulation and sealing – poorly installed skylights actually increase energy costs.
Energy Star certified skylights combined with professional installation typically pay for themselves in energy savings within 5-7 years, while adding value to your home.
If your skylight glass is cracked, broken, or the frame is damaged, replacement is your only option – you can’t repair structural damage effectively. Most “repairs” on older skylights are temporary fixes that fail within a year or two.
However, if you have a newer skylight with minor flashing or sealant issues, targeted repairs might work. We inspect thoroughly and give you honest recommendations based on the skylight’s age, condition, and likelihood of future problems.
Generally, skylights over 15 years old or those that have leaked multiple times should be replaced rather than repaired. New skylights come with warranties and modern energy efficiency features that make replacement the smarter long-term choice.
Yes, we handle all permit applications and inspections required by Suffolk County and the Town of Babylon. Most skylight replacements require building permits, especially if we’re changing the size or making structural modifications.
We know the local building codes and have established relationships with the permitting offices, which speeds up the approval process. Permit costs are included in our written estimates so you know the total project cost upfront.
We also coordinate any required inspections and ensure everything meets current building codes. You don’t have to deal with any of the paperwork or bureaucracy – we handle it all as part of our service.
We provide a comprehensive workmanship warranty on all installation work, plus you get the full manufacturer’s warranty on Velux products. Our installation warranty covers flashing, sealing, and all labor for the first five years.
Velux skylights come with a 10-year warranty on the glass and frame, plus a 20-year warranty on the flashing system. If anything goes wrong due to manufacturing defects, Velux handles the replacement at no cost to you.
Most importantly, we stand behind our work. If you have any issues with installation quality, we come back and fix it at no charge. We’ve been serving Babylon homeowners for years, and our reputation depends on doing the job right the first time.
