No more water stains creeping across your ceiling every time it rains. No more towels on the floor catching drips that shouldn’t be there. No more wondering if this winter’s freeze-thaw cycle will make everything worse.
Your energy bills drop because modern Velux skylights with Low-E glass actually insulate instead of bleeding heat. You get up to five times more natural light than regular windows without the drafts and leaks that come with inferior installations.
The difference isn’t just what you see—it’s what you don’t have to worry about anymore. Professional skylight replacement in Commack, NY means sleeping through storms without wondering what you’ll find in the morning.
Home Team Construction has spent over 10 years learning exactly what works in Suffolk County’s demanding climate. We’ve seen what happens when skylights aren’t installed right—the freeze-thaw damage, the salt air corrosion, the storm failures that leave homeowners scrambling for tarps.
That’s why we only use Velux skylights and integrated flashing systems designed specifically for Long Island weather. Every installation includes multiple waterproof barriers and proper sealing techniques that hold up against nor’easters and hurricanes.
You won’t find subcontractors on our jobs. Every crew member is our direct employee, trained to our standards, and held accountable for leak-free results that last decades.
We start with a thorough inspection of your existing skylight and roof structure. Most leaks aren’t actually from the skylight itself—they’re from improper flashing installation or degraded sealants that failed during Suffolk County’s harsh freeze-thaw cycles.
Next, we carefully remove your old unit and prepare the opening with reinforced headers and integrated flashing systems. We use step flashing around the sides and continuous flashing at the head and sill, all sealed with high-grade materials rated for coastal conditions.
Installation typically takes 4-6 hours for single skylights, and we complete most jobs in one day. We protect your home’s interior throughout the process and test every seal before we leave. You get a skylight that works with your roof, not against it.

After 20 years of installations, we’ve seen which brands hold up and which ones don’t. Velux skylights come with integrated flashing systems, double-pane Low-E glass, and solar-powered models that open automatically for ventilation and close when it rains.
These aren’t just prettier skylights—they’re engineered for Suffolk County’s climate. The difference shows up in your energy bills, with modern units delivering up to 35% better efficiency than older plastic skylights. That translates to $10-15 monthly savings on electricity.
Velux installations may qualify for 26% Federal Tax Credits through 2034, and every skylight comes with comprehensive warranties covering leaks, hail damage, and product defects. You’re not just buying a skylight—you’re investing in decades of reliable performance.
Most single skylight replacements take 4-6 hours depending on your roof type and access requirements. We typically complete the work in one day, weather permitting.
Flat roof installations may take longer due to additional waterproofing steps, but 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.
Yes, modern skylights can significantly reduce energy costs when properly installed. Energy-efficient Velux 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. They also help with natural ventilation, reducing the load on your HVAC system during moderate weather.
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.
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. Complete replacement ensures you get modern energy efficiency and leak-free performance for decades.
Velux skylights are engineered specifically for harsh climates like ours. They come with integrated flashing systems that work with your roof, not against it, and double-pane glass that reduces heat loss in winter and keeps your home cooler in summer.
