Your skylight should bring light in, not let water and air out. When we replace your old, leaking skylight, you get rooms filled with natural light that actually save you money on electricity. No more buckets catching drips or cranking up the heat because drafts are stealing your warm air.
You’ll walk into rooms that feel bigger and brighter without flipping a switch. Your energy bills drop because you’re not fighting against air leaks or running lights all day. Most importantly, you sleep better knowing water isn’t slowly destroying your ceiling and walls.
That’s what happens when skylight replacement is done right the first time.
We’ve been solving roofing and skylight problems for Central Islip homeowners who need it done right. We understand Long Island’s weather—the heavy snow that tests your roof, the summer storms that find every weak spot, and the temperature swings that make materials expand and contract.
We’re the crew your neighbors call when they need someone reliable. Our customers use us again and again because we show up when we say we will, do the work properly, and clean up like we were never there.
You’re not just getting a skylight replacement. You’re getting local contractors who live here, work here, and stand behind every job we complete.
First, we inspect your current skylight to find the real problem. Sometimes what looks like a skylight leak is actually a roof issue, and we’ll tell you the truth about what needs fixing.
If replacement is the right call, we measure everything precisely and order the correct skylight for your roof type and home style. We handle all the details—proper flashing, weatherproofing, and interior finishing—so you don’t have to worry about any of it.
Installation day, we protect your home with tarps and coverings, remove the old skylight carefully, and install your new one with proper sealing and flashing. We test everything before we leave and clean up completely. You get a skylight that works like it should, backed by our guarantee.

Your skylight replacement includes everything needed for a permanent solution. We use quality materials like Velux skylights that are built to handle Long Island’s weather extremes. Proper flashing prevents leaks, quality glass reduces energy loss, and professional installation means no callbacks.
Central Islip homes built in the 1960s and 70s often have original skylights that are past their lifespan. These older units leak, waste energy, and can cause serious water damage if not replaced properly. We’ve seen too many DIY disasters and cheap contractor shortcuts that cost homeowners thousands in repairs.
When we replace your skylight, you get materials designed for our climate, installation that meets local building codes, and the peace of mind that comes from working with licensed, insured professionals who’ve been doing this work for years.
Skylight replacement in Central Islip typically ranges from $2,500 to $6,000, depending on the size, type, and complexity of your roof. The total project cost includes removing your old skylight, proper flashing and weatherproofing, the new skylight unit, and interior finishing work.
Factors that affect cost include your roof’s pitch and accessibility, the type of skylight you choose (fixed, vented, or solar-powered), and any structural modifications needed. We provide detailed estimates that break down all costs upfront—no surprises or hidden fees.
Remember, quality skylight replacement is an investment that pays back through energy savings, prevented water damage, and increased home value. Cheap installations often cost more in the long run when they fail and cause damage.
If you’re seeing water stains on your ceiling, feeling drafts, or noticing condensation between glass panes, it’s time for professional evaluation. Cracked or yellowed plastic, damaged frames, or skylights that won’t open properly usually need replacement.
Sometimes the problem isn’t actually your skylight—it could be roof issues, flashing problems, or poor installation. We inspect the entire area to identify the real source of problems before recommending solutions.
Generally, skylights over 15-20 years old in Central Islip should be replaced rather than repaired. Our harsh weather conditions—from heavy snow loads to summer heat—take a toll on materials. Replacement gives you modern energy efficiency and eliminates ongoing maintenance headaches.
For Central Islip’s climate, we recommend Velux skylights with tempered glass and quality flashing systems. These units are designed to handle our temperature extremes, heavy snow loads, and storm conditions.
Fixed skylights work well for bringing in light without the mechanical complexity of opening units. If you want ventilation, electric or solar-powered skylights are more reliable than manual cranks that can freeze or bind in winter weather.
The key is proper installation with quality flashing that can expand and contract with temperature changes without losing its seal. We use materials specifically rated for Long Island’s weather conditions and install according to manufacturer specifications for maximum durability.
Most skylight replacements take one full day for a standard installation. We start early, protect your home from weather, and complete the work efficiently to minimize disruption to your daily routine.
Complex jobs—like changing skylight sizes, structural modifications, or multiple unit replacements—may take longer. We’ll give you a realistic timeline during our initial assessment and keep you informed if anything changes.
Weather can affect scheduling, especially during Long Island’s winter months. We don’t rush installations to meet artificial deadlines because proper sealing and weatherproofing are critical for long-term performance.
Yes, we handle all permit requirements and coordinate with local building departments when needed. Most skylight replacements in Central Islip don’t require permits if we’re replacing with the same size unit, but we verify requirements for your specific project.
We’re familiar with Suffolk County building codes and inspection requirements. Our installations meet or exceed local standards, and we provide all documentation needed for inspections or insurance purposes.
Working with licensed contractors ensures your project is done legally and properly. This protects you if you ever sell your home or need to file insurance claims related to your skylight.
We provide comprehensive warranties covering both materials and labor. Velux skylights come with manufacturer warranties up to 20 years on materials, and we guarantee our installation workmanship.
Our warranty covers leaks, installation defects, and material failures. If problems develop that are related to our work, we return to fix them at no charge. This gives you confidence that your investment is protected.
We also provide ongoing maintenance recommendations to help your new skylight perform optimally for years. Regular cleaning and periodic inspections help identify small issues before they become major problems.
