Hear From Our Clients
Your ceiling stays dry even during Suffolk County’s worst storms. No more water stains creeping across your walls or buckets catching drips in the middle of the night.
You get clear, unfogged glass that actually lets natural light brighten your rooms. Modern insulated skylights cut your energy bills by reducing heating costs in winter and cooling costs in summer.
The stress disappears. You stop worrying about the next nor’easter or freeze-thaw cycle because your new skylight is engineered specifically for Long Island’s harsh weather patterns.
Home Team Construction has been solving skylight problems across Suffolk County for over 10 years. We understand what Greenlawn homeowners face—freeze-thaw cycles that crack seals, nor’easters that test every installation, and salt air that eats through inferior work.
Our licensed team specializes in Velux skylight installations because we’ve seen which brands actually last in Suffolk County’s demanding climate. Every project uses weather-resistant materials and proper installation techniques designed specifically for Long Island conditions.
Our work reflects on us in the community where we live and work. That’s why we guarantee every installation won’t leak—period.
First, we inspect your current skylight and surrounding roof area to understand why it’s failing. Most leaks aren’t from cracked glass—they’re from failed flashing or improper installation from years ago.
Next, we carefully remove your old skylight and check the roof opening for damage. If we find rot or structural issues, we fix it properly instead of covering it up. No shortcuts.
Then comes the installation using our proven weatherproofing system: integrated flashing, quality underlayment, and multiple seal barriers. We use Velux skylights with proper step flashing and continuous sealing designed for Suffolk County’s weather patterns.
Finally, we test everything thoroughly and clean up completely. You get a skylight that lets in light but keeps out every drop of water, backed by our guarantee and Velux’s warranty.

Your skylight replacement includes premium Velux glass units engineered for Greenlawn’s coastal weather. These aren’t plastic domes that yellow and crack—they’re tempered glass that stays crystal clear for decades.
We handle every detail: cutting the opening, installing proper flashing, sealing against wind-driven rain, and finishing interior work so your ceiling looks perfect. Suffolk County’s unique challenges—salt air corrosion, hurricane-force winds, and freeze-thaw cycles—are built into our installation process.
You also get options most contractors don’t offer: solar-powered venting skylights for better air circulation, remote controls for hard-to-reach units, and energy-efficient glazing that qualifies for federal tax credits. Most single skylight replacements take 4-6 hours and are completed in one day, weather permitting.
Skylight replacement in Greenlawn typically ranges from $1,200 to $4,500 per unit, depending on size, type, and roof complexity. Basic fixed skylights cost less, while venting models with remote controls cost more.
The final price depends on your specific situation: roof pitch, accessibility, interior finishing needs, and whether we discover underlying damage that needs repair. Home Team Construction always provides detailed estimates upfront so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
Many homeowners are surprised to learn that Velux skylights qualify for federal tax credits, which can save you 26% of the total installation cost. That often makes the difference between repairing an old skylight and upgrading to something that will actually last.
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.
Poor installation is the biggest culprit. If step flashing isn’t installed correctly or seals aren’t properly applied, water finds its way in during storms. Salt air from Long Island’s coastal location also accelerates the breakdown of inferior materials.
Home Team Construction prevents 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. Home Team Construction will assess your specific situation during our free inspection and recommend the most cost-effective solution that actually solves the problem long-term.
Trying to patch an old skylight often leads to recurring problems. Complete replacement with modern Velux units gives you better energy efficiency, clearer glass, and the peace of mind that comes with proper installation and warranty coverage.
Quality skylights properly installed should last 15-20 years in Suffolk County’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. Even the best skylight will fail quickly if the flashing isn’t done right or if corners are cut during installation. Home Team Construction’s installations come with our leak-free guarantee plus Velux’s manufacturer warranty.
Proper maintenance also matters. Keeping gutters clean, checking seals annually, and addressing small issues before they become big problems helps maximize your skylight’s lifespan. With our installation methods and quality materials, you shouldn’t have problems for decades.
Yes, modern skylights can significantly reduce energy costs when properly installed. Energy-efficient skylights with Low-E glass and proper insulation reduce artificial lighting needs during the day and provide passive solar heating in winter.
Velux skylights can be up to 35% more energy efficient than older plastic skylights, potentially saving $10-15 monthly on electricity. Double-pane glass reduces heat loss in winter and keeps your home cooler in summer.
The energy savings add up over time, especially with Suffolk County’s high energy costs. Combined with federal tax credits for energy-efficient improvements, the monthly savings help offset the initial investment while you enjoy better comfort and natural light.
Home Team Construction provides 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.
The warranty covers both materials and labor, giving you complete protection. This is crucial in Suffolk County where weather can be harsh and you need confidence that your investment is protected long-term.
