No more buckets catching drips during storms. No more sky-high energy bills from drafty, inefficient skylights. No more worrying about water damage to your valuable Long Island home.
When we replace your skylight, you get genuine peace of mind. Your new skylight stays completely watertight through Long Island’s toughest weather. Your energy bills drop because modern, properly sealed skylights actually insulate instead of letting expensive heated and cooled air escape.
You also get your time back. No more dealing with emergency repairs or scheduling multiple contractors to fix the same problem over and over.
We’ve been serving Lindenhurst homeowners for years, and we understand something important about your neighborhood. Most homes here were built between the 1940s and 1960s, which means they have specific construction characteristics that affect how skylights should be installed.
We’ve worked on hundreds of these classic Long Island homes. We know how to properly integrate new skylights with older roof structures, and we understand the unique challenges that come with Lindenhurst’s coastal weather patterns.
When you call us, you’re getting contractors who actually live and work in your community, not some fly-by-night operation from who-knows-where.
First, we come out and assess your current skylight situation. We’ll tell you honestly whether you need a full replacement or if a repair might solve your problem. No overselling, no pressure.
If replacement is the right call, we measure everything precisely and help you choose the right skylight for your specific needs and budget. We handle all the details, from ordering materials to scheduling the work around your life.
Installation day is typically a one-day job for most residential skylights. We protect your interior, remove the old skylight carefully, and install your new one with proper flashing and sealing. We clean up completely before we leave, and your new skylight comes with warranty protection on both materials and our work.

Your skylight replacement includes everything needed for a complete, leak-free installation. We use premium materials designed specifically for Long Island’s weather conditions, including proper flashing, high-quality sealants, and energy-efficient glazing options.
In Lindenhurst, we see a lot of skylights that were installed without adequate consideration for the area’s coastal moisture and temperature fluctuations. That’s why we use installation techniques specifically adapted for Long Island homes, with extra attention to waterproofing and thermal sealing.
We also include cleanup and disposal of your old skylight, protection of your interior during the work, and a thorough final inspection to ensure everything meets our standards. Most importantly, you get our warranty backing up the work, so you can have confidence in your investment.
Skylight replacement costs in Lindenhurst typically range from $800 to $2,500 depending on the size, type, and complexity of your installation. A standard residential skylight replacement usually falls in the $1,200 to $1,800 range.
The final cost depends on factors like whether you’re replacing a flat roof skylight or a pitched roof installation, the size of the opening, and whether any structural modifications are needed. We provide detailed, written estimates with no hidden fees so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
Keep in mind that replacing a failing skylight now typically costs much less than dealing with water damage repairs later. We’ve seen homeowners spend thousands fixing interior damage that could have been prevented with a timely skylight replacement.
Most residential skylight replacements in Lindenhurst are completed in one day. We typically start in the morning and have your new skylight fully installed and weather-sealed by late afternoon.
The timeline can vary slightly depending on the complexity of your specific situation. If we’re replacing a skylight on a flat roof or dealing with an unusual size, it might extend into a second day. We’ll give you a clear timeline upfront so you can plan accordingly.
We work efficiently because we understand that having your roof open during installation is stressful. That’s why we come prepared with all materials and tools needed to complete the job without delays or return trips.
Skylight repairs work for minor issues like small leaks around the flashing or worn weatherstripping. These typically cost $200 to $600 and can extend the life of a relatively new skylight.
However, replacement becomes necessary when you have multiple leaks, cracked glass, or an old skylight that’s simply reached the end of its useful life. If your skylight is more than 15 years old or if you’re dealing with recurring problems, replacement usually makes more financial sense.
We’ll always give you an honest assessment of whether repair or replacement is the better choice for your specific situation. Sometimes a $300 repair can buy you several more years, but other times it’s just throwing money at a problem that will keep coming back.
Yes, we regularly work with homeowners’ insurance claims for skylight damage caused by storms, hail, or other covered events. We understand the claims process and can help document the damage properly for your insurance adjuster.
We provide detailed written estimates that include all necessary information for your claim, and we can work directly with your insurance company if needed. Many Lindenhurst homeowners don’t realize that skylight damage from storms is often covered under their homeowner’s policy.
The key is acting quickly after storm damage occurs. Insurance companies want to see that you’ve taken steps to prevent further damage, so don’t wait to address a damaged skylight. We can often provide temporary weatherproofing while your claim is being processed.
For Long Island’s climate, we typically recommend double-pane, low-E glass skylights with proper thermal breaks. These handle our temperature swings well and provide good energy efficiency year-round.
Velux skylights are particularly well-suited for our area because they’re designed to handle both the coastal moisture we get from the Atlantic and the temperature extremes we experience. Their flashing systems are also engineered to work well with the types of roofing materials common in Lindenhurst.
We avoid single-pane or plastic dome skylights in this area because they don’t hold up well to our weather patterns and tend to develop condensation problems. The small extra cost for quality materials pays off in longevity and performance.
The most obvious signs are water stains on your ceiling around the skylight, actual dripping during rain, or visible cracks in the glass. But there are subtler indicators too, like condensation between glass panes, drafts around the skylight frame, or a noticeable increase in your energy bills.
If your skylight is more than 15 years old and showing any of these signs, replacement usually makes more sense than repeated repairs. Older skylights often have multiple issues that develop around the same time, so fixing one problem doesn’t prevent others from appearing.
We offer free assessments where we can evaluate your skylight’s condition and give you an honest recommendation about repair versus replacement. Sometimes what looks like a major problem has a simple solution, but other times a small visible issue indicates bigger problems that aren’t immediately obvious.
