You’re not dealing with buckets on the floor anymore. No more wet drywall after every storm. No more wondering if that stain on the ceiling is getting worse.
When your skylight replacement is done right, your home stays dry through nor’easters and summer downpours. Your heating bill drops because modern, energy-efficient skylights with Low-E coatings actually insulate instead of bleeding heat all winter. You get natural light that makes your kitchen or bathroom feel bigger and brighter without the constant worry that the next heavy rain will ruin your day.
This isn’t about making your house look nice. It’s about ending a problem that’s been costing you money, causing stress, and threatening your home’s structure. Proper flashing, weather-resistant seals, and installation that accounts for Long Island’s freeze-thaw cycles mean you’re done patching the same leak twice.
You’ll know it’s handled because you won’t think about your skylight again—and that’s exactly the point.
We’ve spent over a decade working on homes across Suffolk County. We know what Long Island weather does to skylights—the salt air, the humidity swings, the storms rolling off the Sound that test every seal and flashing joint.
Every crew member is licensed and insured. We don’t use subcontractors, so the people who give you the estimate are the same people on your roof. That matters when you’re trusting someone to cut into your home and make it watertight again.
We live and work in Huntington. Our reputation is built on referrals from neighbors who needed their skylight problems solved once, not patched over and over. When you call, you’re talking to people who understand exactly what you’re dealing with because we’ve seen it hundreds of times.
First, we come out and inspect your skylight and the surrounding roof structure. We’re looking for the actual source of leaks—sometimes it’s the skylight itself, sometimes it’s failed flashing, sometimes it’s both. You’ll get a clear answer about whether you need a full replacement or if a repair will actually hold.
If replacement makes sense, we’ll walk you through options. That means discussing VELUX or comparable brands, explaining the difference between fixed and venting skylights, and talking through energy-efficient glass options that’ll cut your heating and cooling costs. We give you upfront pricing with no surprise fees.
On installation day, we remove the old skylight, inspect and repair any roof deck damage, install new flashing that’s built for Long Island weather, and set the new unit with proper sealing. We test everything before we leave. The job site gets cleaned up, and you get warranty documentation for both our labor and the manufacturer’s materials.
Most residential skylight replacements take one day. If we find underlying damage, we’ll tell you before we proceed. You’re not getting halfway through a job and hearing about problems that should’ve been caught in the inspection.
Ready to get started?
You’re getting a complete roof skylight replacement, not just a new window dropped into old flashing. That includes removing your existing skylight, addressing any rotted decking or structural issues we find, installing new step flashing and counter flashing that’s designed to handle Long Island’s weather extremes, and setting a new energy-efficient skylight with proper insulation and sealing.
We install ENERGY STAR certified units when possible—these can cut your energy bills by up to 13% compared to older skylights. For Huntington homes dealing with humid summers and cold winters, that’s real money back in your pocket every year. If you want a venting skylight for better airflow in bathrooms or kitchens, we’ll make sure it’s sealed correctly and includes rain sensors so you’re not scrambling to close it during a storm.
Every installation comes with a warranty on our workmanship and the manufacturer’s warranty on materials. We’ll review those terms before starting so you know exactly what’s covered. If you need emergency service because a storm damaged your skylight and water’s coming in, we offer same-day response to secure your home and stop further damage.
Huntington homeowners are dealing with specific challenges—proximity to the water creates humidity and condensation problems, seasonal temperature swings cause seals to expand and contract, and heavy storms off the Sound test every weak point in your roof. We account for all of that in how we install and seal your skylight.
Most homeowners in Huntington pay between $1,850 and $2,400 for a complete skylight replacement, though costs can range from $450 for basic repairs to $5,000+ for larger or specialty units. The price depends on skylight size, whether you’re replacing a fixed or venting model, the type of energy-efficient glass you choose, and how much roof deck repair we find during removal.
If your skylight is leaking because of failed flashing but the unit itself is less than 15 years old and in good shape, a repair might run $450 to $800. But if you’re dealing with an older skylight that’s lost its seal, has condensation between panes, and is costing you money in energy bills, replacement makes more sense. We’ll give you honest advice about which route actually solves your problem.
VELUX skylights with solar-powered blinds—which became standard in 2025—run higher but qualify for federal solar tax credits of 30% through 2034. That can offset a significant chunk of your investment while giving you automated shading that reduces heat gain in summer. We’ll walk through all your options with upfront pricing before you commit to anything.
If your skylight is less than 15 years old and the leak is coming from damaged flashing or a worn seal, repair usually works. But if you’re dealing with an older unit, condensation between glass panes, visible cracks, or recurring leaks even after repairs, replacement is the smarter move.
Here’s what we look at during inspection: the age of your skylight, the condition of the glass and seals, whether the flashing is corroded or improperly installed, and if there’s any rot in the surrounding roof deck. Long Island’s freeze-thaw cycles are brutal on skylight seals—they expand and contract with temperature swings, and eventually they fail. If that’s happened and your skylight is already 10+ years old, you’re throwing money at a temporary fix.
Replacement also gives you a chance to upgrade to energy-efficient glass with Low-E coatings that’ll reduce your heating and cooling costs. Older skylights are often energy drains—they let heat escape in winter and turn your upstairs into an oven in summer. A new ENERGY STAR certified skylight can cut those losses by up to 13%, which adds up over time. We’ll give you a straight answer about what makes sense for your situation and your budget.
Most residential skylight replacements in Huntington take one day from start to finish. We remove the old skylight, address any roof deck issues, install new flashing, set the new unit, seal everything properly, and clean up the job site in a single visit.
If we find significant rot or structural damage when we remove the old skylight, that can add time. We’ll let you know immediately if that’s the case and give you a clear timeline and cost before proceeding. But for straightforward replacements where the roof deck is solid and we’re swapping a standard-size skylight, you’re looking at same-day completion.
Weather can affect scheduling—we’re not installing skylights in heavy rain or high winds because your home is open to the elements during installation, and we won’t risk water damage or unsafe conditions. We’ll work with you to pick a day with a good forecast and stick to that schedule. If conditions change, we’ll reschedule rather than rush a job that needs to be watertight.
Yes, if you’re replacing an older, inefficient skylight with a modern ENERGY STAR certified unit. These skylights can reduce your heating and cooling costs by up to 13% compared to older models, which can mean hundreds of dollars in annual savings for Long Island homeowners dealing with expensive energy rates.
Older skylights are often single-pane or have failed seals that let conditioned air escape. In winter, heat rises and pours out through an inefficient skylight. In summer, they let in solar heat that makes your AC work overtime. Modern skylights use Low-E3 glass coatings, insulated glazing, and advanced sealing to prevent both problems. Some models include heat-absorbing tints or automated blinds that reduce heat gain during the hottest parts of the day.
For a typical Huntington home, that means your furnace isn’t running as hard in January and your AC isn’t struggling in July. The upfront cost of an energy-efficient skylight is higher, but you’re recouping that investment through lower utility bills over the skylight’s 20-30 year lifespan. We’ll show you the energy ratings on different models so you can see exactly what you’re getting before you buy.
Yes. If a storm damages your skylight and water is actively leaking into your home, we offer same-day emergency service to secure the opening and stop further damage. That usually means tarping the skylight, removing standing water, and assessing what needs to happen next—whether that’s a temporary repair to get you through until we can schedule full replacement, or immediate replacement if the damage is severe.
Long Island storms can be brutal on skylights. High winds, flying debris, heavy ice, and nor’easters all create situations where a skylight fails suddenly. When that happens, every minute counts because water damage spreads fast—it soaks insulation, ruins drywall, damages ceilings, and can lead to mold if it’s not addressed immediately.
Our emergency service is available 24/7. You call, we respond, and we get your home secured. We’ll document everything for insurance purposes and work with you on next steps. If you need a full replacement, we’ll schedule that as quickly as possible. If a repair will hold until you’re ready for replacement, we’ll tell you that too. The goal is stopping the damage and giving you a clear path forward, not upselling you in a crisis.
We primarily install VELUX skylights because they’re built to last, carry strong warranties, and perform well in Long Island’s climate. VELUX offers both fixed and venting models, energy-efficient glass options, and features like solar-powered blinds and rain sensors that make sense for homeowners who want reliability and low maintenance.
That said, we’re not locked into one brand. If you have a specific skylight in mind or need something custom-sized, we’ll work with you to source the right product. What matters most is that the skylight is properly rated for residential use, carries a solid manufacturer warranty, meets energy efficiency standards if that’s important to you, and fits your roof structure correctly.
We’ll walk you through the differences between brands and models during your estimate. Some skylights are better for venting bathrooms and kitchens, others are designed for maximum natural light in living spaces, and some include smart home integration for automated control. We’ll recommend what makes sense based on where the skylight is located, what you’re trying to accomplish, and your budget. You’re not getting a one-size-fits-all recommendation—you’re getting options that actually fit your home and your needs.
