No more water stains on your ceiling. No more buckets catching drips during storms. No more wondering if your skylight will hold up through another Long Island winter.
When we replace your skylight, you get a system that actually works. Your rooms stay dry, your energy bills drop, and natural light floods in without the headaches. You’ll walk into your home knowing everything above your head is solid, sealed, and built to last.
That’s what happens when experienced contractors handle your skylight replacement the right way from day one.
We’ve been fixing what other contractors couldn’t in Bayport and across Long Island for over 15 years. We’ve seen every type of skylight failure, from ancient dome skylights that leak like sieves to improperly installed Velux units that never worked right.
Our 5.0 rating from 70+ verified customers isn’t because we’re the cheapest. It’s because we do the job right the first time. When Long Island homeowners need their skylight problems actually solved, they call us.
We know Bayport’s weather patterns, the common issues with older homes in the area, and exactly how to install skylights that perform in our coastal climate.
First, we inspect your current skylight and roof condition. We identify what’s actually causing the problem – whether it’s failed flashing, damaged glass, or poor original installation. No guesswork.
Next, we remove the old skylight carefully, protecting your home’s interior from debris and weather. We inspect and repair any roof damage before moving forward. If your roof deck needs attention, we handle that too.
Then we install your new skylight with proper flashing, weatherproofing, and sealing techniques that work in Long Island’s climate. We test everything before we leave. You get a system that’s built to perform, not just look good.

Every skylight replacement includes complete removal of your old unit, roof inspection and repair if needed, and installation of your new skylight with proper flashing and weatherproofing. We work with quality brands like Velux that are built for Long Island’s weather.
Bayport homes face unique challenges with coastal moisture and temperature swings. That’s why we use installation techniques specifically designed for our local climate. Your new skylight gets the flashing, sealants, and ventilation it needs to perform year after year.
We also handle the interior work – patching drywall, matching paint, and cleaning up completely. When we’re done, your home looks like we were never there, except for the beautiful new skylight that actually works.
Skylight replacement in Bayport typically ranges from $1,000 to $4,000 depending on the size, type, and complexity of your installation. The total cost includes removing your old skylight, any necessary roof repairs, the new skylight unit, professional installation, and interior finishing work.
Vented skylights and larger units cost more than basic fixed skylights. If we need to modify your roof opening or repair structural damage, that affects pricing too. We provide detailed estimates upfront so you know exactly what you’re paying for – no surprises.
The investment is worth it when you consider the cost of ongoing leak damage, higher energy bills from inefficient old skylights, and the hassle of temporary fixes that don’t last.
Most skylight leaks come from damaged or corroded flashing – the metal seal between your skylight and roof. Long Island’s coastal climate is tough on these seals, causing them to deteriorate faster than in drier climates.
Poor original installation is another major cause. If the skylight wasn’t properly sealed or the flashing wasn’t installed correctly, water will find its way in eventually. Age also plays a role – older skylights develop cracks in the glass or frame that let moisture through.
Sometimes what looks like a skylight leak is actually coming from somewhere else on your roof. That’s why we do a complete inspection to find the real source of your water problems before recommending solutions.
In many cases, yes – we can replace just the glass if that’s the only damaged component. This is especially common with newer skylights where the frame and flashing are still in good condition but the glass has cracked or developed leaks.
Glass replacement is much more affordable than full skylight replacement and can often upgrade your energy efficiency at the same time. We can install double-glazed or low-E glass that performs better than your original single-pane unit.
However, if your skylight is older or the frame is damaged, full replacement usually makes more sense. We’ll assess your specific situation and recommend the most cost-effective solution that actually solves your problem long-term.
Most skylight replacements take one full day, weather permitting. We start by protecting your home’s interior, then carefully remove the old skylight and assess any roof damage that needs attention.
The actual installation of your new skylight typically takes 4-6 hours, including proper flashing and weatherproofing. Interior finishing work like drywall patching and paint touch-ups might extend the timeline slightly, but we usually complete everything in a single visit.
Weather can affect our timeline – we won’t install skylights in rain or high winds because proper sealing requires dry conditions. If weather delays your project, we’ll protect your home with temporary coverings until conditions improve.
Yes, we warranty all our skylight replacement work, and your new skylight comes with the manufacturer’s warranty as well. Our workmanship warranty covers installation issues, flashing problems, and any leaks related to our work.
Quality skylight manufacturers like Velux offer substantial warranties on their products – typically 10+ years on the skylight itself and several years on moving parts for vented units. We handle any warranty claims that come up, so you have one point of contact for service.
We stand behind our work because we install skylights right the first time. Our 5.0 customer rating reflects our commitment to delivering skylight replacements that perform as promised, year after year.
Spring through fall offers the best weather conditions for skylight replacement in Bayport. We can work year-round, but dry conditions make for better installation and sealing of your new skylight.
If your skylight is leaking badly, don’t wait for perfect weather. We provide emergency skylight services and can make temporary repairs to protect your home until we can complete the full replacement. Water damage gets worse the longer you wait.
Summer and early fall are our busiest seasons, so if you’re planning ahead, spring scheduling often offers more flexibility. But if you need your skylight fixed now, we’ll work with Long Island’s weather to get your home protected as quickly as possible.
