Hear From Our Clients
Your mornings start brighter when natural light floods your kitchen instead of that dim overhead bulb. Your energy bills drop when you’re not running lights all day. Your home feels bigger, more open, more alive.
That’s what happens when skylights are installed right the first time. No leaks, no regrets, no calling someone else to fix what should have been done correctly from the start.
You get the natural light you wanted, the energy savings you expected, and the peace of mind that comes from working with contractors who know Lake Grove’s unique weather challenges and building requirements.
We’ve been serving Lake Grove and Long Island homeowners with a 5.0-star rating and over 70 verified reviews. We’ve seen plenty of skylight disasters—leaking installations, cracked glass, energy-wasting gaps that could have been avoided.
We’re not the cheapest option, and that’s intentional. Quality Velux materials cost more. Experienced installers cost more. But replacing your skylight twice costs even more.
Lake Grove’s coastal humidity and winter freeze-thaw cycles demand proper installation techniques. We understand how these conditions affect your roof and use premium materials and proven methods that withstand Long Island’s weather patterns for decades.
We start with a thorough inspection of your existing skylight and roof structure. This tells us whether you need complete skylight replacement, just skylight glass replacement, or if there’s underlying damage requiring attention first.
Next, we carefully remove your old unit, protecting your interior from debris and weather. We inspect the opening, replace any damaged decking or flashing, and ensure proper drainage around the new installation.
Your new Velux skylight gets installed with precision—proper step flashing, ice and water shield, quality sealants, and attention to every detail that prevents future leaks. We test everything thoroughly, handle interior finishing work, and clean up completely before we leave.

Every skylight replacement includes new Velux units with a 10-year no-leak guarantee. We handle flat roof skylight replacement, attic window replacement, and traditional pitched roof installations using proper flashing systems designed for Long Island’s weather patterns.
Your installation includes energy-efficient Low-E glass that reduces heat gain in summer and heat loss in winter. This matters in Lake Grove, where humidity and temperature swings stress inferior skylights. Many installations qualify for a 26% federal tax credit.
We handle all interior finishing work, including drywall repair, trim work, and paint matching around the new unit. Whether you need to replace old leaky skylights or install new skylights in dark areas, we complete most installations in one day with minimal disruption to your routine.
Skylight replacement in Lake Grove typically costs between $2,500 and $6,000, depending on the size, type, and complexity of your installation. This includes the Velux skylight unit, professional installation, proper flashing, and interior finishing work.
Flat roof skylight replacement often costs more due to specialized materials and techniques required. Attic window replacement and standard pitched roof installations fall within the typical range. We provide detailed estimates that break down all costs upfront.
While you might find cheaper options, remember that improper installation is the leading cause of skylight leaks. Investing in quality installation now saves you from expensive water damage repairs and energy waste later.
Velux skylights come with a 10-year no-leak guarantee when properly installed, and there’s a reason they’re the industry leader. Most skylight leaks aren’t caused by the product itself, but by installation errors or using inferior materials.
Velux uses superior engineering and materials compared to cheaper alternatives. Their flashing systems work with various roof types and weather conditions, including Long Island’s humidity and temperature swings that stress poorly designed skylights.
However, even the best skylight will leak if installed incorrectly. That’s why choosing experienced, certified Velux installers matters as much as choosing the right product. We understand both the product specifications and local building requirements.
Yes, we regularly replace skylights without damaging existing roofing or interior spaces. Our process includes comprehensive protection for your furnishings, flooring, and walls during the entire installation process.
We use heavy-duty tarps and plastic sheeting to contain debris and protect against weather during replacement. Most skylight replacements use the existing roof opening, minimizing disruption to your roofing system and preserving your investment.
For interior protection, we seal off work areas and use drop cloths throughout your home. Our crew cleans up completely each day, and we handle necessary drywall repairs or paint touch-ups as part of the installation. You won’t be left with cleanup or unfinished work.
Most skylight replacements in Lake Grove are completed in one day, weather permitting. Simple replacements using existing openings typically take 4-6 hours from start to finish, including interior work.
Complex installations requiring structural modifications, flat roof skylight replacement, or multiple units may take two days. We provide accurate timelines during our initial assessment based on your specific situation and roof configuration.
Weather affects our schedule, especially during winter or heavy rain periods. We won’t compromise installation quality by rushing through poor conditions. If weather delays the project, we secure your opening with temporary protection and reschedule for optimal conditions.
Our skylight installations include comprehensive warranties covering both materials and workmanship. Velux provides a 10-year no-leak guarantee on their products, and we back our installation work with our own warranty coverage.
If you experience any leaks, we respond quickly to diagnose and resolve the issue at no cost to you. Most post-installation problems are minor and easily resolved—often related to normal settling or minor adjustments needed after installation.
We also provide maintenance guidance to help you keep your skylight performing optimally. This includes cleaning recommendations, seasonal inspection tips, and guidance on operating vented skylights properly to prevent condensation issues.
Absolutely. Replacing your skylight during roof replacement is the most cost-effective approach and ensures optimal performance of both systems. The coordinated timing eliminates duplicate labor costs and allows proper integration of materials.
Old skylights often have outdated flashing systems that don’t integrate well with modern roofing materials. Keeping an old skylight with a new roof frequently leads to leaks at the interface between old and new systems.
If your skylight is over 10-15 years old, replacement makes financial sense. Modern Velux skylights offer significantly better energy efficiency, weather resistance, and features like remote operation and automatic rain sensors compared to older units. The combined project delivers the best long-term value.
