VELUX Skylight Installation Lake Ronkonkoma

What's Actually Included in Your Service

Every skylight replacement includes the removal of your old unit, proper disposal, and installation of your new energy-efficient skylight with manufacturer warranties. We use quality materials like VELUX skylights, which are designed to handle Long Island’s weather extremes. These aren’t the cheap units that fail in a few years—they’re built to last decades with proper installation. For Lake Ronkonkoma homes, we pay special attention to proper flashing and sealing. The salt air and temperature fluctuations here demand installation techniques that account for expansion and contraction over time. All work includes cleanup of debris and a final inspection to ensure everything is watertight and secure. You’re not left with a mess or wondering if the job was done correctly.

How much does skylight replacement cost in Lake Ronkonkoma?

Skylight replacement typically runs $2,000 to $5,300 depending on the size, type, and complexity of your installation. VELUX skylights, which we recommend for Long Island homes, fall within this range and include their leak-free guarantee. The final cost depends on factors like roof accessibility, the condition of surrounding materials, and whether you’re upgrading to energy-efficient or vented models. We provide detailed written estimates so you know exactly what you’re paying for. Most homeowners find the investment pays for itself through energy savings and avoiding costly water damage repairs. A properly installed skylight should last 20-30 years or more.

Should I repair my leaking skylight or replace it completely?

If your skylight is over 15 years old or has multiple issues, replacement usually makes more sense than repeated repairs. Older units often have outdated sealing systems that will continue to fail even after fixes. However, newer skylights with minor flashing issues or damaged weather stripping can often be repaired effectively for $200-800. We’ll inspect your specific situation and give you honest advice about which approach makes financial sense. The key is addressing the root cause, not just the symptoms. A skylight that’s been leaking for months may have caused damage that requires replacement regardless of the unit’s age.

How long does skylight replacement take in Lake Ronkonkoma?

Most skylight replacements take 4-6 hours for a standard installation. This includes removing the old unit, inspecting and preparing the opening, installing the new skylight with proper flashing, and cleanup. Complex installations or situations requiring structural repairs may take longer. Weather conditions also affect timing—we won’t install skylights during rain or high winds when we can’t ensure a watertight seal. We schedule installations when weather forecasts show clear conditions for at least 24 hours after completion. This ensures proper curing time for sealants and adhesives.

What makes VELUX skylights better for Long Island homes?

VELUX skylights are engineered for durability and come with comprehensive warranties that cover both the product and installation when properly installed. They’re designed to handle temperature extremes and weather conditions common on Long Island. The flashing systems and sealing technologies are more advanced than cheaper alternatives, which matters when dealing with salt air and frequent freeze-thaw cycles. They also offer better energy efficiency, which helps with heating and cooling costs. VELUX provides clear installation guidelines and supports their products with readily available parts and service. If something does go wrong years later, you’re not dealing with a company that’s disappeared or stopped making parts.

Do you handle skylight installations on older Lake Ronkonkoma homes?

Yes, we specialize in working with the 1950s and 60s homes that are common in Lake Ronkonkoma. These homes often have unique structural characteristics that require experienced contractors who understand older construction methods. We know how to work with original framing, outdated electrical systems, and settling foundations that can complicate skylight installations. We also understand how to integrate modern skylights with older roofing materials and systems. Our experience with these homes means we can anticipate potential issues and plan accordingly, keeping your project on schedule and budget while ensuring proper installation.

What warranty do you provide on skylight replacement work?

We provide a comprehensive workmanship warranty on all installation work, and VELUX skylights come with their own manufacturer warranties covering the product itself. This gives you protection on both the materials and the installation. Our warranty covers proper installation, flashing, and sealing work. If you experience leaks due to installation issues, we’ll return to fix the problem at no charge. We stand behind our work because we do it right the first time. The manufacturer warranty covers defects in the skylight itself, including glass, frames, and operating mechanisms. Combined, these warranties give you long-term protection and peace of mind about your investment.
