When your skylight stops leaking and starts working properly, you’ll notice the difference immediately. Natural light fills your rooms without the constant worry about water stains on your ceiling or expensive damage to your floors and walls.
Your energy bills drop because you’re not running lights during the day or dealing with drafts that make your heating and cooling system work overtime. The improved air circulation keeps your home more comfortable year-round.
You get peace of mind knowing your skylight replacement was done right the first time, with proper flashing, quality materials, and a guarantee that protects your investment.
Home Team Construction has been handling skylight replacements throughout Holbrook and Suffolk County for over a decade. We’re a fully licensed and insured, family-owned company that understands the specific challenges Long Island weather brings to your home.
We’ve seen what happens when skylights are installed incorrectly or when homeowners try to patch problems instead of addressing the root cause. That’s why we focus on doing the job right the first time, using quality materials and proven techniques that stand up to everything from summer storms to winter freeze-thaw cycles.
Our reputation in the Holbrook area is built on fair pricing, professional work, and completing what we promise. When we say your skylight won’t leak, we mean it.
We start with a thorough inspection of your current skylight to identify why it’s failing. Most leaks come from damaged flashing, worn seals, or poor initial installation rather than the skylight itself.
Next, we carefully remove the old skylight without damaging your roof or interior. We inspect the opening, make any necessary structural repairs, and ensure everything is ready for the new installation.
The new skylight goes in with proper flashing systems, quality sealants, and attention to every detail that prevents future problems. We test everything before we’re done and clean up completely. You’re left with a skylight that works the way it should and the confidence that comes with professional installation.

We install Velux skylights because they’re engineered specifically for climates like ours. These aren’t the basic plastic domes that crack and leak after a few years. You get energy-efficient, multi-layered tempered glass that handles temperature changes without compromising the seal.
The flashing systems are designed to work with different roof types common in Holbrook, from asphalt shingles to more complex roofing materials. Every component is built to last and backed by manufacturer warranties that give you long-term protection.
For homeowners dealing with Suffolk County’s unpredictable weather patterns, this means skylights that perform consistently whether you’re facing summer heat, winter snow loads, or the kind of driving rain that tests every seal and joint. You get natural light and ventilation without the constant worry about water damage.
Skylight replacement costs in Holbrook typically range from $1,000 to $4,000, depending on the size, type, and complexity of your installation. The total includes the skylight unit, removal of the old one, proper flashing, sealing, and any necessary interior work.
Fixed skylights are the most affordable option, while vented or solar-powered models cost more but offer additional functionality. The condition of your roof and the accessibility of the installation site also affect pricing.
We provide free, detailed estimates that break down all costs so you know exactly what you’re paying for. There are no surprises or hidden fees.
Most skylight leaks in Long Island homes come from damaged or improperly installed flashing around the skylight frame. The constant freeze-thaw cycles we experience here can cause sealants to crack and metal flashing to shift or corrode over time.
Poor initial installation is another common cause. If the skylight wasn’t properly integrated with your roof’s water management system, even small amounts of water can find their way inside and cause damage.
Age is also a factor. Older skylights with basic sealing systems simply weren’t designed to handle decades of Long Island weather. Modern replacement skylights use advanced materials and installation techniques that solve these problems permanently.
It depends on the extent of the damage and the age of your skylight. If only the glass is cracked but the frame and flashing are in good condition, we can sometimes replace just the glass panel, which is more cost-effective.
However, if your skylight is more than 15-20 years old or if there are signs of frame damage, water infiltration, or failed seals, complete replacement is usually the better choice. Trying to patch an aging system often leads to recurring problems.
We’ll assess your specific situation and recommend the most practical solution. Sometimes spending a bit more upfront for complete replacement saves you from repeated repair costs and gives you modern energy efficiency features you won’t get with partial fixes.
Most skylight replacements in Holbrook can be completed in one day, weather permitting. We typically start early in the morning and have everything sealed and weather-tight by afternoon.
The timeline can extend if we discover structural issues that need attention or if your roof requires additional preparation work. We’ll know more after our initial inspection and will give you a realistic timeframe upfront.
We always prioritize getting your home sealed quickly. Even if finishing touches need to be completed the next day, your roof will be fully protected from the elements before we leave each day.
Yes, we provide comprehensive warranties on both our installation work and the skylight products we install. Our workmanship warranty covers installation-related issues, while manufacturer warranties protect against product defects.
Velux skylights come with substantial manufacturer warranties that cover the skylight itself and often include leak protection. We’ll explain exactly what’s covered and for how long when we provide your estimate.
We stand behind our work completely. If you experience any issues related to our installation, we’ll return to make it right at no additional cost. That’s our commitment to every customer in Holbrook and throughout Suffolk County.
Repairs work when the problem is minor and localized, like replacing worn weatherstripping or resealing small gaps. These fixes typically cost $450 to $1,000 and can extend your skylight’s life if the underlying structure is sound.
Replacement becomes necessary when the flashing system has failed, the frame is damaged, or when multiple components are showing wear. While replacement costs more upfront, it eliminates recurring problems and gives you modern energy efficiency.
We’ll honestly assess whether repair or replacement makes more sense for your situation. Sometimes a repair can buy you time to plan for replacement, but we won’t recommend temporary fixes if they’re just delaying inevitable problems.
