We’ve been handling skylight replacements and roofing projects throughout East Moriches and the surrounding Suffolk County area for years. Our licensed contractors and skilled roofers understand the unique challenges of Long Island’s coastal weather.
We know what it takes to keep skylights leak-free when you’re dealing with nor’easters, summer storms, and the salt air that comes with waterfront living. Every installation uses proper flashing techniques and quality materials designed to withstand the elements.
Our team has successfully completed skylight replacements in East Moriches’ diverse housing stock—from the vintage colonials near the water to the ranch-style homes in the inland developments. We understand local building requirements and work with homeowners to ensure every project meets both their needs and local standards.
First, we inspect your current skylight and roof structure to identify the root cause of problems. Most leaks aren’t actually the skylight’s fault—they’re caused by improper installation, damaged flashing, or inadequate sealing around the opening.
Next, we carefully remove the old skylight and assess the roof opening. We check for any structural damage, ensure proper slope for water drainage, and prepare the surface for the new installation. This is where many contractors cut corners, but it’s the most critical step.
Then comes the installation. We install new flashing in multiple layers—bottom, step flashing on the sides, and solid flashing over the top. Every seal gets tested. We use VELUX skylights with their No Leak Warranty because they’re engineered for Long Island’s weather conditions. The final step is interior finishing and a thorough cleanup, leaving your home spotless.

Every skylight replacement includes VELUX products with their industry-leading No Leak Warranty. These aren’t the cheap plastic skylights that fail after a few years—they’re engineered with multiple glazing layers, low-E coatings, and proper insulation to handle East Moriches’ climate.
You get professional-grade flashing installed in three phases for maximum water protection. We use ice and water shield underlayment, which is especially important in East Moriches where ice dams can form during winter storms. Every penetration gets sealed with commercial-grade sealants designed for coastal environments.
The installation includes proper insulation around the skylight shaft to prevent energy loss and condensation problems. We also handle any necessary interior repairs—patching drywall, matching paint, or replacing damaged trim. Your project isn’t complete until everything looks perfect and functions properly. Most installations are completed in a single day, weather permitting.
Skylight replacement costs in East Moriches typically range from $800 to $2,500 depending on the size, type, and complexity of the installation. A standard VELUX fixed skylight replacement usually runs $1,200-$1,800 including materials and labor.
Vented skylights cost more due to the additional mechanisms and sealing requirements. Larger skylights or those requiring structural modifications will be on the higher end. The investment pays off through energy savings and preventing costly water damage that can easily exceed $5,000 in repairs.
We provide detailed written estimates that break down all costs upfront. No surprises, no hidden fees. The price includes removal of your old skylight, proper disposal, new VELUX skylight with warranty, professional installation, and cleanup.
VELUX skylights are designed to last 20-30 years in East Moriches’ coastal climate when properly installed. The key difference is in the construction—VELUX uses multi-layer glazing, advanced weather seals, and corrosion-resistant materials that handle salt air and temperature fluctuations.
Cheaper skylights often fail within 8-15 years, especially in waterfront areas like East Moriches where salt air accelerates deterioration. VELUX skylights come with comprehensive warranties covering both the skylight and installation when installed by certified contractors.
The longevity depends heavily on proper installation. Poor flashing or inadequate sealing can cause even the best skylight to fail prematurely. That’s why we follow VELUX’s exact installation specifications and use their recommended flashing systems for maximum durability.
Yes, we can replace skylights during East Moriches winters, though we prefer dry conditions when possible. Emergency replacements for leaking skylights can’t wait for spring—water damage gets worse with every storm.
We take extra precautions during winter installations including temporary weatherproofing, heated work areas when needed, and accelerated installation schedules to minimize exposure time. Most replacements are completed in 4-6 hours, so your home isn’t exposed to the elements for long.
Winter installations require careful attention to ice dam prevention and proper sealing in cold temperatures. We use cold-weather sealants and allow extra time for proper curing. The result is a leak-free installation that’s ready for the next storm.
Yes, a properly installed ENERGY STAR certified skylight can reduce your household energy bills by up to 13% according to the Department of Energy. The savings come from both natural lighting and improved thermal performance.
VELUX skylights feature low-E coatings and insulated glazing that minimize heat transfer. In winter, they let in warming sunlight while preventing heat loss. In summer, the coatings reflect excess heat while still providing natural light. This reduces your reliance on both heating and cooling systems.
The key is proper sizing and placement. Skylights should be no more than 5% of floor area in rooms with many windows, or up to 15% in rooms with few windows. We help you choose the right size and type for maximum energy efficiency in your specific situation.
Most skylight leaks in East Moriches are caused by improper installation rather than skylight failure. Poor flashing, inadequate sealing, or incorrect slope allows water to penetrate around the skylight opening.
East Moriches’ coastal location creates additional challenges. Salt air corrodes inferior flashing materials over time. Ice dams from winter storms can force water under inadequate sealing. Summer storms with driving rain test every seal and joint.
Other common causes include clogged gutters causing water backup, damaged roof materials around the skylight, or settling that changes the roof slope. A professional inspection can identify the exact cause and determine whether repair or replacement is the best solution.
Yes, we provide emergency skylight repair services throughout East Moriches. When your skylight starts leaking during a storm, every hour counts to prevent water damage to your home’s interior.
Our emergency service includes temporary weatherproofing to stop active leaks, assessment of the damage, and permanent repair solutions. We carry emergency supplies and can often provide same-day temporary repairs to protect your home until permanent replacement can be scheduled.
We understand that skylight emergencies don’t wait for business hours. Water damage spreads quickly and can affect flooring, furniture, and electrical systems. Our emergency response prioritizes stopping the leak first, then developing a plan for permanent repair or replacement.
