Hear From Our Clients
Your ceiling stays pristine white instead of water-stained brown. Your energy bills drop because modern Velux skylights actually insulate instead of bleeding heat through old, drafty units.
You wake up to beautiful natural light streaming through crystal-clear glass that doesn’t fog up or leak during storms. When the next nor’easter hits East Quogue, you’ll watch the rain from inside your warm, dry home instead of scrambling for buckets.
That’s what happens when skylight replacement is done right the first time. Your property value goes up, your stress goes down, and you finally get to enjoy what skylights were supposed to give you all along.
Home Team Construction has been solving Suffolk County’s skylight problems for over 10 years. We became skylight specialists because we got tired of seeing East Quogue homeowners deal with the same nightmare: beautiful homes with ugly water stains and buckets scattered around during every storm.
We’re not general contractors who occasionally install skylights. We’re licensed Suffolk County experts who specialize in Velux skylight replacement because we know what works in our coastal climate.
Every installation comes with our leak-free guarantee and comprehensive warranties on both materials and labor. We live here too, so our work quality reflects on us in the East Quogue community.
First, we inspect your current skylight and the surrounding roof area to understand why it’s failing. Most leaks aren’t actually coming from cracked glass—they’re coming from failed flashing, worn seals, or improper installation from years ago.
Next, we carefully remove your old skylight and inspect the roof opening. If we find rot or damage, we fix it properly instead of just covering it up. Then we install your new Velux skylight using our proven weatherproofing system: proper flashing, quality underlayment, and multiple seal barriers.
Finally, we test everything thoroughly, complete any interior finishing work, and clean up completely. We don’t leave until your skylight is leak-proof and your home is cleaner than when we arrived.

Not all skylights are created equal. We install Velux skylights in East Quogue, NY because they’re engineered for Suffolk County’s coastal climate and backed by real warranties. Their double-pane glass reduces heat loss in winter and keeps your home cooler in summer.
The difference is in the details. Velux skylights come with integrated flashing systems that work with your roof, not against it. Their solar-powered models open automatically for ventilation and close when it rains—perfect for East Quogue’s unpredictable weather.
After 20 years of installations, we’ve seen which brands hold up and which ones don’t. East Quogue’s salt air, wind-driven rain, and freeze-thaw cycles demand quality that most skylights simply can’t deliver. Velux skylights often last 15-20 years in our coastal environment, and many qualify for 26% Federal Tax Credits.
Skylight replacement in East Quogue, NY typically ranges from $800 to $2,500 per skylight, including professional installation. The final cost depends on your specific situation: skylight size, roof pitch, accessibility, interior finishing needs, and whether we discover underlying damage that needs repair.
Velux skylights with professional installation usually cost 3-4 times the price of the unit alone, but this includes proper flashing, waterproofing, and our leak-free guarantee. Many homeowners are surprised to learn that Velux skylights qualify for federal tax credits, which can save you 26% of the total installation cost.
We always provide detailed estimates upfront so you know exactly what you’re paying for. The investment pays for itself through energy savings and prevents costly water damage repairs that can exceed thousands of dollars.
Most skylight leaks in East Quogue 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.
Most homeowners don’t realize that 75% of skylight leaks come from the skylight itself, not the flashing around it. That’s why we only install Velux skylights—they’re engineered for harsh coastal environments and come with comprehensive warranties that actually mean something.
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 under 10 years old.
However, most skylights over 15 years old in East Quogue benefit from complete replacement because the seals, hardware, and flashing typically need updating too. Our coastal environment is particularly hard on skylight components—salt air corrodes metal parts, and temperature swings cause seals to fail.
We’ll assess your current skylight honestly and recommend the most cost-effective solution. Sometimes a repair makes sense, but often complete replacement with a modern Velux unit saves money in the long run by eliminating ongoing maintenance and energy waste.
Quality Velux skylights properly installed should last 15-20 years in East Quogue’s coastal environment. Velux skylights often exceed this because their tempered glass and engineered seals are specifically designed for harsh weather conditions.
The key is professional installation. East Quogue’s salt air, wind-driven rain, and temperature swings demand expertise that most contractors simply don’t have. We use installation techniques we’ve perfected through thousands of Suffolk County projects.
Velux skylights come with industry-leading warranties: 10 years on installation, 20 years on glass, and 10 years on the product itself. We warranty our installation work separately, so you’re protected from every angle. Older skylights made from acrylic degrade much faster, while tempered glass skylights offer greater durability and longevity.
Yes, we provide emergency skylight repair services in East Quogue, NY. When storms hit Suffolk County, skylight damage doesn’t wait for business hours. We secure your home immediately and start repairs the same day to prevent further water damage.
Our emergency services include temporary weatherproofing, leak stoppage, and structural stabilization. We carry emergency materials in our trucks and can often make temporary repairs that will hold until we can schedule proper replacement.
However, emergency repairs are just that—temporary solutions. Most emergency calls result in complete skylight replacement within a few weeks because the underlying problems that caused the failure need to be addressed permanently. We’ll be honest about what can be repaired versus what needs replacement.
We provide a comprehensive leak-free guarantee on all skylight installations in East Quogue, NY, backed by our workmanship warranty and the manufacturer’s product warranty. Velux skylights come with up to 10 years on materials and we warranty our installation work separately.
If your skylight leaks due to our installation within the warranty period, we’ll fix it at no charge. We’ve been serving Suffolk County for over 10 years and stand behind every job we complete.
Our warranty covers both materials and labor, and we’re fully licensed and insured Suffolk County contractors. Unlike fly-by-night installers, we’ll be here to honor our warranty because we live and work in the East Quogue community. A warranty is only as good as the company backing it.
