Your skylight shouldn’t stress you out every time it rains. When seals fail and flashing deteriorates, water finds its way into your ceiling, walls, and the rooms below. That drip turns into stains, mold risk, and expensive interior damage you didn’t budget for.
A professional skylight replacement stops the leak at its source. You get modern, insulated glass that actually keeps your home comfortable—not just in summer, but during those Long Island winters too. Your energy bills drop because heat isn’t escaping through old, single-pane glass or broken seals.
And the light? It’s what you wanted in the first place. Clear glass, no fog between panes, no yellow discoloration. Just clean, natural light that makes your home feel open and alive again. You’re not patching problems anymore—you’re solving them.
We’ve been installing and replacing skylights across Suffolk County for over 10 years. East Quogue’s salt air, humidity, and freeze-thaw cycles aren’t kind to skylights—we see the damage every day. Corroded flashing, failed seals, rotted frames. Most of it comes down to improper installation or materials that weren’t built for this climate.
We’re fully licensed and insured, and we only install Velux skylights because they’re engineered for weather like ours. Every replacement includes custom flashing, waterproof sealing, and installation techniques that hold up against coastal storms. You’re not getting a quick patch job—you’re getting a skylight that works the way it should, for decades.
We start with an inspection of your current skylight—checking the glass, seals, flashing, and the roof deck around it. Most leaks aren’t just the skylight itself. They’re caused by failed flashing or improper installation from years ago. We’ll tell you exactly what’s wrong and what it’ll take to fix it right.
Once you approve the work, we remove the old skylight and inspect the opening for any water damage or rot. If the roof deck needs repair, we handle that before the new unit goes in. Then we install your new Velux skylight with professional-grade flashing and ice-and-water shield designed for Suffolk County’s weather.
Every seam gets sealed. Every fastener gets placed correctly. We don’t rush it, because shortcuts are what caused the problem in the first place. When we’re done, you get a skylight that doesn’t leak, doesn’t fog up, and actually improves your home’s energy efficiency. And it’s backed by our leak-free guarantee.

Every home skylight replacement we do includes removal of your old unit, inspection and repair of the roof deck if needed, and installation of a new Velux skylight with double-pane, insulated glass. We use custom flashing systems that integrate with your roof—not generic kits that leave gaps for water to sneak through.
You also get ice-and-water shield around the opening, which is critical in East Quogue. With 27 to 30 inches of snow each winter and constant freeze-thaw cycles, ice dams are a real threat. That shield stops water from backing up under your shingles and finding its way into your home.
We install weather-resistant components that hold up against salt air and humidity. Stainless steel fasteners, corrosion-resistant flashing, and seals that don’t degrade in coastal conditions. If you want a vented skylight that opens, we install those too—with screens and rain sensors that close automatically when storms roll in. Your replacement is built to last, not just look good for a few years.
Most residential skylight replacements in East Quogue run between $1,500 and $3,500, depending on the size of your skylight, the type of roof it’s installed on, and whether we’re replacing a fixed or vented unit. Flat roof skylights cost more because they require custom flashing and sloped insulation to prevent water pooling.
If there’s rot or water damage around the opening, that adds to the cost—but it’s better to fix it now than let it spread. We’ll give you a clear estimate after inspecting your skylight and roof. No surprises, no upselling. Just honest pricing based on what your home actually needs.
And if you’re installing an Energy Star-rated skylight, you may qualify for a federal tax credit up to $600. That helps offset the cost while lowering your energy bills for years to come.
If your skylight is less than 10 years old and the leak is clearly from damaged flashing, a repair might work. But here’s the reality—most skylight leaks we see are caused by failed seals, cracked glass, or corroded frames. You can replace the flashing and reseal it, but if the skylight itself is failing, you’re just delaying the inevitable.
Skylights typically last 15 to 20 years in ideal conditions. East Quogue’s coastal weather isn’t ideal. Salt air accelerates corrosion, humidity breaks down seals faster, and freeze-thaw cycles stress the frame. If your skylight is over 15 years old, fogging up between panes, or leaking in multiple spots, replacement makes more sense than throwing money at repairs that might not hold.
We’ve seen homeowners repair the same skylight three or four times over a few years, spending more than a replacement would’ve cost. If you’re on that cycle, it’s time to replace it and be done with it.
Velux skylights are the best option for Long Island homes, and they’re the only brand we install. They’re built with double-pane, insulated glass that reduces heat loss in winter and keeps your home cooler in summer. That matters here, where you’re running heat for months and AC all summer long.
Velux units also come with laminated glass options that hold up better in storms and resist impact from branches or debris. Their flashing kits are designed to integrate with asphalt shingle, metal, and flat roofs—so water sheds properly instead of pooling around the frame.
And they’re backed by real warranties. If something goes wrong with the skylight itself, you’re covered. Cheaper brands might save you money upfront, but they don’t hold up in coastal conditions. Velux skylights are engineered for climates like ours, and that’s why we trust them.
Most skylight replacements take four to six hours, depending on the size and roof type. If we’re replacing a standard fixed skylight on an asphalt shingle roof, it’s usually a same-day job. Flat roofs or vented skylights take a bit longer because the flashing is more complex.
We work efficiently, but we don’t rush. Every step—removing the old unit, inspecting the deck, installing the new skylight, sealing the flashing—gets done right. If we find rot or damage around the opening, we’ll repair that before the new skylight goes in. That can add a few hours, but it’s necessary to prevent future problems.
You’ll have a tarp or temporary cover over the opening if we need to stop work for any reason, so your home stays protected. Most customers are surprised by how fast the process is—and how much better the new skylight looks and performs compared to the old one.
Yes. Modern Velux skylights with double-pane, Low-E glass can reduce your heating and cooling costs by up to 12 percent compared to old, single-pane units. That’s because the insulated glass keeps conditioned air inside your home instead of letting it escape through the roof.
Old skylights with broken seals or fogged glass lose even more energy. You’re basically heating or cooling the outdoors. A new Energy Star-rated skylight stops that loss, which means your HVAC system doesn’t have to work as hard. Over time, those savings add up—especially with Long Island’s energy costs.
If you’re replacing a skylight that’s been leaking, you’re also preventing moisture damage that can ruin insulation and reduce its effectiveness. A properly installed, energy-efficient skylight pays for itself over the years through lower utility bills and better home comfort.
Every skylight replacement we do comes with our leak-free guarantee. If your new skylight leaks because of our installation, we come back and fix it at no cost to you. That covers the flashing, sealing, and all the work we did around the opening.
Velux skylights also come with their own manufacturer warranty, which covers defects in the glass, frame, and operating components. The length varies by model, but most are covered for 10 years or more. If something goes wrong with the skylight itself, Velux handles it.
We’ve been installing skylights in Suffolk County for over a decade, and we stand behind every job. You’re not just getting a product—you’re getting a properly installed system that’s built to last in East Quogue’s coastal climate.
