Your skylight problems end here. No more water stains on your ceiling, no more buckets catching drips, no more worrying about the next storm.
When we replace your skylight, you get a watertight seal that actually works. Modern energy-efficient glass that cuts your heating bills. Professional flashing that integrates properly with your roof system.
The difference is immediate. Your rooms stay dry, your energy costs drop, and you finally get the natural light you wanted without the headaches.
We’ve been serving Blue Point and Long Island homeowners for years. We understand the unique challenges of coastal weather and older home construction.
We’ve seen what happens when skylights are installed wrong. Water damage that spreads through your roof structure. Mold problems that cost thousands to remediate. Energy bills that climb because old skylights leak air like sieves.
That’s why we do it right the first time. Our team knows Blue Point’s building requirements, weather patterns, and the specific roofing materials common in the area.
We start with a thorough inspection of your existing skylight and surrounding roof area. This tells us exactly what we’re dealing with and whether the problem is just the skylight or includes roof damage.
Next, we carefully remove the old unit and assess the opening. We repair any water damage to the roof structure and ensure the framing is solid. Then we install your new skylight with proper flashing that’s integrated into your roof system, not just sealed on top.
The final step is testing everything to make sure it’s completely watertight. We don’t consider the job done until you’re confident your skylight will perform perfectly for years to come.

Every skylight replacement includes removal of your old unit, structural assessment, and installation of a new energy-efficient skylight with proper flashing. We work with quality brands like VELUX that are built for Long Island’s climate.
Blue Point homes face unique challenges. Salt air from the nearby coast accelerates corrosion of flashing and seals. Winter ice dams put extra stress on roof penetrations. Summer storms test every seal.
That’s why we use marine-grade sealants and corrosion-resistant flashing materials. Your new skylight gets the same attention to detail we’d use on a waterfront property, because that’s what works in this environment.
If your skylight is leaking, the first thing we check is the age and condition of the unit itself. Most skylight leaks aren’t actually caused by damaged flashing – they’re caused by seal failure in the skylight itself.
Skylights older than 15 years, especially those with fogged glass or visible cracks, usually need replacement. The seals deteriorate over time, and no amount of exterior repair will fix a failed seal inside the glass unit.
We’ll give you an honest assessment. Sometimes a simple flashing repair works, but more often, replacement is the only permanent solution.
Older skylights often used plastic or acrylic domes that yellow, crack, and lose their seal over time. Modern glass skylights use tempered, insulated glass that’s much more durable and energy-efficient.
Glass skylights provide better clarity, don’t discolor with age, and offer superior insulation. They’re also much better at handling Blue Point’s temperature swings without expanding and contracting enough to break seals.
The upfront cost difference is minimal, but glass skylights last decades longer and perform much better in our climate.
Most residential skylight replacements take one full day. We start early, remove the old unit, make any necessary structural repairs, and install your new skylight with complete flashing and sealing.
Weather can affect timing – we won’t start if rain is expected, because your home needs to stay protected throughout the process. We also take extra time if we discover water damage that needs repair.
The goal is to get your home watertight as quickly as possible while doing the job right. Rushing leads to problems later.
Not if it’s installed correctly. The reason most skylights leak is improper installation, not product failure. We use proven flashing techniques that integrate the skylight into your roof system as a permanent part of the structure.
We also use high-quality sealants and materials designed for Long Island’s climate. Salt air, ice, and temperature swings all put stress on seals, so we use marine-grade materials that handle these conditions.
Every installation comes with our workmanship warranty. If it leaks due to our installation, we fix it at no charge.
In most cases, yes. We measure the existing opening carefully and source a skylight that fits properly. Standard sizes are usually available, and custom sizes are possible for unusual openings.
Sometimes we recommend going slightly larger if the existing opening allows it. More light, better proportions, and often the same installation cost. But we’ll always discuss options with you before making changes.
The key is getting the right fit for your roof structure and your needs, not just replacing exactly what was there before.
Modern skylights are dramatically more energy-efficient than units from even 10 years ago. Insulated glass, low-E coatings, and proper sealing make a huge difference in your heating and cooling costs.
You’ll also use less artificial lighting during the day, which adds up over time. In Blue Point’s climate, the energy savings from a properly installed modern skylight often pay for a significant portion of the replacement cost.
The bigger savings come from stopping air leaks. Old skylights with failed seals are like having a window open year-round. New ones seal tight and keep your conditioned air where it belongs.
