Skylight Contractors Manorville NY

We Know Long Island Weather

We’ve been handling skylight replacements across Suffolk County for over 10 years. We’re fully licensed, insured, and we understand what Long Island weather does to skylights. Freeze-thaw cycles. Heavy snow loads. Summer heat that expands and contracts everything. Most skylight problems aren’t the skylight’s fault—they’re installation problems that show up when the weather tests weak points. We’ve replaced hundreds of skylights in Manorville and surrounding areas. We know which products hold up and which installation techniques prevent the problems that bring us back in two years.

Skylight Replacement Process Manorville

How We Actually Fix It

First, we inspect your current skylight and the surrounding roof area. We’re looking for the real problem—not just the obvious leak, but what’s causing it. Sometimes it’s flashing. Sometimes it’s settling. Sometimes the whole unit needs to go. We remove the old skylight completely. No shortcuts, no patching over existing problems. We inspect and repair the roof opening, replace any damaged decking, and install proper flashing systems that direct water away from the opening. Then we install your new skylight using manufacturer specifications and our own best practices learned from a decade of Long Island installations. We test everything, clean up completely, and walk you through what we did and what to expect.

Velux Skylight Replacement Manorville

What You Actually Get

We use quality skylights from trusted manufacturers like Velux—products that exceed American standards and are built for Long Island’s climate. Fixed skylights for maximum light. Vented skylights for fresh air. Solar-powered options that reduce energy costs even more. Every installation includes proper flashing, quality sealants, and interior finishing work if needed. We handle the roof work, the interior touch-ups, and the cleanup. You don’t coordinate multiple contractors or wonder if everyone’s on the same page. In Manorville’s buyer’s market, smart homeowners are investing in improvements that add real value. A properly installed skylight increases your home’s worth while cutting your energy costs. It’s one of the few upgrades that pays you back immediately through lower electric bills and long-term through increased home value.

How much does skylight replacement cost in Manorville?

Skylight replacement typically costs 3-4 times the price of the unit itself because you’re paying for the complete project—removal, roof work, materials, installation, and interior finishing. Most homeowners in Manorville spend between $1,200 and $3,500 per skylight depending on size, type, and roof complexity. The investment makes sense when you consider the alternative. Trying to patch a failing skylight usually costs $400-800 and rarely solves the underlying problem. You end up calling someone back in 18 months when it leaks again, except now you’ve got more water damage to fix too. We provide detailed estimates that break down exactly what you’re getting so there are no surprises. The work includes everything needed to give you a skylight that actually works for the next 20+ years.

What causes skylights to leak in the first place?

Most skylight leaks aren’t the skylight’s fault—they’re installation problems. Water finds gaps between the skylight and roof, especially around flashing that wasn’t installed properly or has deteriorated over time. Long Island’s freeze-thaw cycles make this worse. Water gets into small gaps, freezes, expands, and makes the gaps bigger. After a few seasons of this, even a good skylight will start leaking if it wasn’t installed with proper flashing and sealing. Poor installation is the biggest culprit. Contractors who don’t specialize in skylights often treat them like regular windows, but they’re not. Skylights need specific flashing techniques, proper slope considerations, and materials that can handle thermal expansion and contraction. When these details get skipped, you get leaks.

Should I repair my skylight or replace it completely?

If your skylight is leaking, cracked, fogged up, or more than 15 years old, replacement usually makes more sense than repair. Repairs might fix the immediate problem, but they rarely address the underlying issues that caused the problem. Here’s the reality: a proper repair often costs 60-70% of what replacement costs, but only fixes the symptoms. You’re likely to have problems again within a few years. Replacement fixes everything—the skylight, the flashing, the roof opening, and any water damage that’s already occurred. We’ll be honest about what makes sense for your situation. Sometimes a simple seal replacement or flashing repair is all you need. But if we’re seeing multiple issues or signs of long-term problems, we’ll recommend replacement because it’s actually more cost-effective in the long run.

How long does skylight replacement take?

Most single skylight replacements take one full day. We start early, remove the old skylight, handle any roof repairs needed, install the new skylight with proper flashing, and complete interior touch-ups the same day. Weather can affect timing—we won’t leave your roof open if rain is coming. Complex jobs or multiple skylights might take two days. Older homes sometimes have surprises once we open things up, like rotted decking that needs replacement. We schedule carefully so we’re not rushing. A rushed skylight installation is how you end up with leaks two years later. We’d rather take the time to do it right than have to come back and fix problems that could have been prevented.

Do you offer warranties on skylight replacement work?

Yes, we provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship and materials. This covers installation defects, flashing problems, and any issues related to our work. The skylight itself comes with the manufacturer’s warranty, which varies by brand but is typically 10-20 years. Our warranty means if you have a leak or problem related to our installation, we come back and fix it at no charge. We’ve been doing this for over 10 years in Suffolk County, so we stand behind our work because we plan to be here for the next 10 years too. Most skylight problems show up in the first few years if there are installation issues. Our warranty gives you peace of mind during that critical period, and our track record shows you’re unlikely to need it.

What's the difference between different types of skylights?

Fixed skylights are the most common—they don’t open, just provide light. They’re typically the most cost-effective and have fewer potential leak points. Vented skylights open for fresh air but cost more and have more moving parts that can eventually need maintenance. Tubular skylights work well for smaller spaces like bathrooms or closets. They use a reflective tube to channel light from the roof to the room, so they can bring light to areas where a traditional skylight won’t fit. Solar-powered skylights are the premium option. They can open and close automatically, include rain sensors, and some integrate with smart home systems. They cost more upfront but can provide significant energy savings over time, especially in rooms that get hot in summer.
