Your skylight should bring natural light into your home, not water damage and high energy bills. When we replace your old, leaky skylight, you get a properly sealed system that transforms dark spaces into bright, comfortable rooms.
Modern skylights aren’t just about letting light in – they’re engineered to keep energy costs down. You’ll notice the difference immediately: rooms stay cooler in summer, warmer in winter, and your HVAC system doesn’t have to work overtime.
No more buckets catching drips or worrying about ceiling stains. Our installations are waterproof from day one, and they stay that way.
We’ve been replacing skylights across Long Island for over 10 years, and we know exactly what works in Dix Hills homes. Your neighbors have used us multiple times – not because they have to, but because we get it right the first time.
As a fully licensed and insured Suffolk County contractor, we handle everything from simple Velux replacements to complex custom installations. We’re not the cheapest option, and that’s intentional – you’re investing in work that lasts.
Dix Hills homes have unique architectural features that require careful attention to detail. We understand how different roof pitches, materials, and weather patterns affect skylight performance in this area.
We start with a thorough inspection of your existing skylight and surrounding roof structure. This tells us exactly what we’re working with and whether any additional repairs are needed before installation.
Next, we carefully remove your old skylight without damaging your roof or interior. We inspect the opening, make any necessary adjustments, and ensure the structural support is solid.
The new skylight goes in with proper waterproof flashing, quality sealants, and precise fitting. We test everything thoroughly before we leave – no surprises later. You get photos of the work and a cleanup so thorough you’d never know we were there.

Your skylight replacement includes removal of the old unit, structural assessment, and professional installation of your new skylight with all necessary flashing and sealing materials. We work with top brands like Velux to ensure you get reliable, energy-efficient performance.
In Dix Hills, we see a lot of older skylights that were installed when energy efficiency wasn’t a priority. Today’s skylights offer significantly better insulation, UV protection, and weather resistance. Many of our customers are surprised by how much their energy bills drop after replacement.
We handle both flat roof and pitched roof installations, and we’re experienced with the specific challenges that Long Island weather presents. Your new skylight will be designed to handle everything from summer heat to winter snow loads.
Skylight replacement typically costs 3-4 times the price of the skylight unit itself, which includes removal, materials, labor, and proper installation. The total cost depends on the size, type of skylight, roof complexity, and any structural work needed.
For a standard Velux skylight replacement, you’re looking at a range that includes the skylight, flashing kit, labor, and any interior finishing work. We provide detailed estimates that break down all costs upfront – no surprises.
The investment pays off quickly through energy savings and preventing water damage that could cost thousands to repair later.
Most skylight replacements take one day to complete, weather permitting. Simple replacements where the opening size stays the same can often be finished in 4-6 hours.
If we need to modify the opening size or address structural issues, it might take an additional day. We’ll know this during our initial inspection and will give you an accurate timeline upfront.
We schedule around weather forecasts to ensure your home stays protected throughout the process. If unexpected weather hits, we have temporary protection systems to keep you dry.
Skylight repair works when you’re dealing with minor issues like worn seals, small leaks, or condensation problems. We can often fix these issues by replacing gaskets, resealing, or addressing flashing problems.
Replacement is necessary when the skylight frame is damaged, the glass is cracked or fogged, or when the unit is old enough that parts aren’t available. If your skylight is more than 15 years old and having problems, replacement is usually more cost-effective than repeated repairs.
We’ll assess your specific situation and recommend the most practical solution. Sometimes a repair will buy you a few more years, but we’ll be honest about when replacement makes more sense.
Yes, we’re experienced with Velux skylight installation and replacement. Velux is one of the most reliable skylight brands, and we stock common sizes for faster installation.
Velux skylights come with excellent warranties and are engineered for Long Island’s climate. They offer both fixed and vented options, plus accessories like blinds and remote controls.
We can also work with other quality brands if you have specific requirements. The key is matching the right skylight to your home’s needs and your budget.
When installed correctly with proper flashing and sealing, modern skylights shouldn’t leak. Most skylight leaks happen because of improper installation, not product failure.
We use proven installation techniques and quality materials to ensure your skylight stays watertight. This includes proper flashing integration with your existing roof system and using the right sealants for Long Island weather conditions.
We stand behind our installation work. If you experience any leaks related to our installation, we’ll come back and fix it at no charge.
Yes, we handle both flat roof and pitched roof skylight installations. Flat roof skylights require different techniques and materials, but we’re experienced with both applications.
Flat roof skylights typically use curb-mounted systems that sit above the roof surface. These require careful attention to drainage and weatherproofing, which is critical in our Long Island climate.
We’ll assess your flat roof’s condition and drainage patterns to ensure your new skylight integrates properly with your existing roofing system.
