Your new skylight does more than just let light in. It cuts your electric bill by reducing the need for artificial lighting during the day. You’ll get up to four times more natural light compared to a regular window of the same size.
The right skylight installation also means better ventilation and improved air quality. No more stuffy rooms or relying on fans all day. Fresh air flows naturally, and you’ll notice the difference in how your home feels.
When installed correctly, your skylight becomes a long-term investment that can last 20 to 40 years. That’s decades of free natural light and energy savings that pay for themselves over time.
We’ve been serving Greenport and Long Island homeowners for years. We understand the unique challenges that come with coastal weather and how it affects your skylights.
Living near the water means dealing with salt air, strong winds, and occasional storms that can damage skylights over time. We’ve seen it all and know exactly how to install skylights that can handle what Mother Nature throws at them.
Our team takes pride in being straightforward with our customers. We won’t try to sell you something you don’t need, and we’ll always give you an honest assessment of what your skylight situation requires.
We start with a thorough inspection of your current skylight and the surrounding roof area. This isn’t just about the skylight itself – we check for any water damage, rot, or structural issues that need addressing first.
Next, we’ll walk you through your options. Whether you need a direct replacement or want to upgrade to a more energy-efficient model, we’ll explain what works best for your home and budget. We use quality materials from trusted manufacturers like VELUX.
Installation day means minimal disruption to your daily routine. Our crew arrives on time, protects your property, and completes the work efficiently. We handle all the waterproofing, flashing, and sealing to ensure your new skylight stays leak-free for years to come. Before we leave, we clean up completely and walk you through your new skylight’s features.

Your skylight replacement includes removal of the old unit and proper disposal of all materials. We inspect and repair any underlying damage to the roof deck or surrounding structure before installing your new skylight.
We use high-quality flashing systems and waterproof barriers specifically designed for Long Island’s climate. Every installation includes proper insulation around the skylight frame to prevent condensation and energy loss.
For Greenport homes, we often recommend impact-resistant glass options that can handle debris from storms. Many of our customers also choose ENERGY STAR certified skylights that qualify for energy efficiency rebates. We’ll help you understand which options make the most sense for your specific situation and budget.
If you’re seeing water stains on your ceiling or walls around the skylight, that’s a clear sign something needs attention. But here’s what most people don’t realize – three out of four skylight leaks we see are actually caused by failure in the skylight itself, not just the flashing around it.
Cracks in the glass, warped frames, or broken seals usually mean replacement is your best option. Trying to patch these issues often leads to more problems down the road. If your skylight is over 15 years old and having multiple issues, replacement typically makes more financial sense than repeated repairs.
We’ll give you an honest assessment during our free inspection. Sometimes a simple seal replacement will solve the problem, but we’ll never recommend a band-aid fix when you really need a permanent solution.
Spring and fall are ideal for skylight replacement in Greenport because the weather is more predictable and temperatures are moderate. However, we handle skylight emergencies year-round because water damage won’t wait for perfect weather.
If you’re planning a roof replacement, that’s actually the perfect time to upgrade your skylights too. The roof is already open, which makes the installation more efficient and cost-effective. Many homeowners save money by bundling these projects together.
Winter installations are definitely possible, but we take extra precautions to protect your home from the elements during the work. Summer can be challenging due to heat in the attic space, but we adjust our schedule to work during cooler parts of the day when needed.
Absolutely. A properly installed, energy-efficient skylight can significantly reduce your lighting costs during the day. You’ll use less artificial lighting, which adds up over time, especially with today’s energy prices.
Modern skylights also provide better insulation than older models. If your current skylight is letting hot or cold air escape, you’re essentially heating or cooling the outdoors. New skylights with proper sealing and insulated frames help maintain your home’s temperature more efficiently.
ENERGY STAR certified skylights can reduce your energy costs even further and may qualify for rebates. We’ll help you understand which options provide the best return on investment for your specific situation and local utility programs.
Most skylight replacements take between 4 to 8 hours, depending on the size and complexity of the installation. If we discover underlying damage that needs repair, it might extend to a full day or require a follow-up visit.
We always plan for weather contingencies, especially here on Long Island where conditions can change quickly. Our crew comes prepared with tarps and temporary weather protection to keep your home dry if we encounter unexpected rain.
The actual time your home is “open” to the elements is usually just 1-2 hours while we’re swapping out the old skylight for the new one. We work efficiently to minimize any disruption to your daily routine and always clean up completely before we leave.
Yes, we stand behind our work with comprehensive warranties that cover both the skylight itself and our installation. Most of the skylights we install come with manufacturer warranties ranging from 10 to 20 years, depending on the model you choose.
Our installation warranty covers any issues related to leaks or workmanship defects. We want you to have complete peace of mind knowing that if something goes wrong due to our work, we’ll make it right at no cost to you.
We also provide detailed care instructions and maintenance tips to help you get the maximum life from your new skylight. Regular maintenance is minimal, but knowing what to look for can help prevent small issues from becoming big problems.
Yes, we install skylights on flat roofs and low-pitched roofs using specialized mounting systems designed for these applications. Flat roof skylights require different flashing and drainage considerations compared to sloped roof installations.
For flat roofs, we typically use curb-mounted skylights that sit above the roof surface to ensure proper water runoff. These systems include built-in drainage and are specifically engineered to handle water pooling that can occur on flat surfaces.
Low-pitched roofs need special attention to water flow patterns. We use modified installation techniques and sometimes recommend specific skylight models that work better with minimal roof slope. Every situation is different, so we’ll assess your specific roof and recommend the best approach during our free consultation.
