Hear From Our Clients
You wake up to beautiful natural light streaming through crystal-clear glass that doesn’t leak a drop. Your ceilings stay pristine white instead of stained brown from water damage.
Your energy bills drop because modern skylights actually insulate instead of bleeding heat through old, inefficient units. When the next nor’easter hits Farmingville, you’ll watch the rain from inside your warm, dry home instead of scrambling for buckets.
That’s what happens when skylights are installed 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 spent over 10 years watching Farmingville homeowners deal with the same skylight nightmare—beautiful homes with ugly water stains and buckets scattered around during every storm. We became skylight specialists because we got tired of seeing the same problems over and over.
Suffolk County’s unique location puts your home in the path of hurricanes, nor’easters, and salt air that destroys inferior work. We use coastal-grade materials and proper installation techniques specifically chosen for these conditions.
Our licensed team understands that in Farmingville, your skylight isn’t just about natural light—it’s about protecting your investment from Long Island’s most challenging weather patterns.
First, we assess your current skylight and check for roof damage around the opening. 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 for any structural damage that needs addressing. We repair any issues before installing your new skylight to ensure a solid foundation.
Then comes the critical part—proper flashing installation. We use integrated flashing systems with multiple waterproof barriers, step flashing around the sides, and continuous flashing at the head and sill. Everything gets sealed with high-grade materials designed specifically for Long Island weather. Your new Velux skylight gets mounted securely with proper waterproof sealing that actually works.

Every skylight replacement includes premium Velux skylights engineered specifically for our climate. Their double-pane glass reduces heat loss in winter and keeps your home cooler in summer, with integrated flashing systems that work with your roof, not against it.
You get our comprehensive leak-free guarantee backed by our workmanship warranty plus Velux’s manufacturer warranty. We guarantee our installation work won’t leak for 10 years, and Velux warrants their products for up to 30 years depending on the model.
In Farmingville’s challenging weather conditions, this matters more than anywhere else. Suffolk County sees everything from hurricane-force winds to ice storms that test every seal and flashing joint. Our installations use weather-resistant materials and techniques that have protected homes through multiple major storms, giving you confidence that your skylight will perform when you need it most.
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.
The coastal environment creates specific challenges too—salt air accelerates deterioration of seals and flashing, while our area’s weather patterns put extra stress on skylight systems. Many contractors don’t understand these local conditions and use materials that fail quickly in our climate.
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 specifically 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. In Farmingville’s harsh coastal environment, these components deteriorate faster than in other climates.
Signs you need full replacement include water stains around the skylight, visible cracks in glass or frame, drafts you can feel, condensation between glass panes, or recurring problems despite previous repairs. Complete replacement eliminates all these issues at once and comes with comprehensive warranties.
We provide a comprehensive leak-free guarantee on all skylight installations, 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.
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.
More importantly, we take responsibility for our installations. Most skylight leaks are caused by installation errors, not product defects. That’s why choosing experienced installers matters more than just getting the lowest price. Our track record speaks for itself in protecting Farmingville homes through multiple major storms.
Spring and fall are ideal for skylight replacement in Farmingville because weather conditions are more predictable. We can complete the work without worrying about summer thunderstorms or winter ice storms.
However, we handle emergency replacements year-round. If your skylight is leaking now, waiting for perfect weather just means more water damage to your ceilings and walls. We have techniques to protect your home during installation regardless of season.
If you’re planning other roof work, that’s the perfect time to replace skylights. The roof is already open, materials are on-site, and you save on labor costs by combining projects. This approach is especially smart in Suffolk County where weather windows can be unpredictable.
Velux skylights are specifically engineered to handle severe weather conditions like what we see in Suffolk County. Their integrated flashing systems and reinforced frames are designed to withstand hurricane-force winds and heavy precipitation.
The key is proper installation. Even the best skylight will fail if not installed correctly for our local conditions. We use Velux’s specific installation requirements plus additional weatherproofing techniques that account for salt air, freeze-thaw cycles, and storm surge conditions.
Our Velux installations have protected Farmingville homes through multiple nor’easters and hurricanes without leaking. The combination of quality products and experienced installation gives you confidence that your skylight will perform when Long Island weather is at its worst.
We specialize in Suffolk County’s unique weather challenges and use installation techniques specifically designed for coastal conditions. Many contractors treat skylights like a simple roof penetration, but we understand the complex interactions between salt air, freeze-thaw cycles, and storm conditions.
Our installations include multiple waterproof barriers, proper drainage channels, and flashing systems that direct water away from vulnerable areas. We also use sealants and materials rated for marine environments that won’t degrade in salt air.
Most importantly, we stand behind our work with comprehensive warranties and have the local experience to back them up. We’ve been protecting Suffolk County homes for over 10 years and understand exactly what it takes to keep skylights leak-free in our challenging climate.
