Hear From Our Clients
You walk into your hallway at 2 PM and don’t need to flip a switch. Natural light pours in from above, making the space feel bigger, warmer, more like home. No water stains creeping across your ceiling. No buckets positioned under drips when it rains.
That’s what happens when your residential skylight replacement is handled by people who’ve been doing this for over a decade across Suffolk County. You’re not dealing with a patch job or someone who disappears after cashing your check.
You’re getting VELUX-certified installation with integrated flashing systems built for Long Island’s freeze-thaw cycles. The kind of work that comes with a comprehensive warranty against water infiltration because we know it won’t leak. Your energy bills drop—sometimes $10 to $15 a month—because modern, energy-efficient skylights actually insulate instead of bleeding heat like the old plastic ones.
And if you ever sell? Buyers notice rooms with natural light. They photograph better. They feel better. It’s one of those upgrades people actively look for when they’re shopping for homes in Manorville.
Home Team Construction has been family-owned and operating across Suffolk County since 2002. We’re not a national franchise or a crew that shows up once and vanishes. We live here. We work here. And we’ve built a reputation on over 400 reviews with a 4.9-star rating because we show up, do the work right, and stand behind it.
When you call us for home skylight replacement in Manorville, you’re talking to licensed and insured contractors who’ve handled hundreds of skylight jobs across Long Island. We know what happens when flashing isn’t installed correctly during a Suffolk County winter. We’ve seen the rot, the mold, the thousands of dollars in damage that comes from shortcuts.
That’s why we don’t take them. You get upfront pricing, no runaround, and work that’s built to last decades—not just until the next storm rolls through.
First, we come out to assess your current skylight. We’re looking at the condition of the glass, the frame, the flashing, and the surrounding roof structure. If there’s rot or damage from previous leaks, we’ll tell you. No surprises halfway through the job.
Once you approve the work, we order your new VELUX skylight—sized and spec’d for your exact opening and your home’s needs. Most installations happen in a single day, weather permitting. We protect your interior, remove the old unit, inspect and repair any underlying damage, then install the new skylight with professional-grade flashing and multiple waterproof barriers.
Before we leave, we test for leaks. We walk you through how your new skylight operates—especially if it’s a vented model. We clean up completely, haul away the old materials, and make sure you’re clear on your warranty coverage.
You’re not left wondering if it’s going to hold up. You know it will, because we’ve done this hundreds of times and we’re still here if you ever need us.
Ready to get started?
When we replace your skylight, you’re getting more than just a new piece of glass. You’re getting ENERGY STAR-certified VELUX skylights engineered to handle New York winters and Long Island humidity without driving up your energy costs. These aren’t the old plastic domes that yellow and crack. They’re built to last.
Every installation includes integrated flashing systems designed specifically for your roof type—whether it’s asphalt shingle, metal, or flat. We’re talking multiple waterproof barriers that account for Suffolk County’s freeze-thaw cycles, where water gets into gaps, freezes overnight, expands, and creates bigger problems. Our flashing prevents that from happening in the first place.
You also get a comprehensive warranty against water infiltration. If it leaks, we come back and make it right. That’s not standard everywhere, but it should be.
And because we know Manorville homeowners care about energy efficiency, we make sure your new skylight is installed with proper sealing and insulation. That means up to 13% savings on heating and cooling costs, plus five times more natural light than a standard window of the same size. Your home feels brighter, more comfortable, and costs less to keep that way.
Most skylight replacements in Manorville run between $2,000 and $5,300 per unit, depending on the size, type, and condition of your roof. If you’re doing a straightforward swap—same size, no structural damage—you’re typically on the lower end. If we’re fixing rot, upgrading to a larger unit, or dealing with a flat roof install, costs go up.
We give you upfront pricing before we start. No hidden fees, no surprises halfway through the job. And if you qualify, we offer financing options so you’re not stuck choosing between a leaking skylight and your budget.
The investment makes sense when you factor in energy savings, the elimination of ongoing leak repairs, and the boost to your home’s value. Buyers in Suffolk County actively look for energy-efficient upgrades like this, and natural light makes rooms feel bigger and more inviting during showings.
Most skylight replacements are completed in one day, weather permitting. We’re talking about removing the old unit, inspecting and repairing any underlying damage, installing the new VELUX skylight with proper flashing, sealing everything, testing for leaks, and cleaning up completely.
If we discover rot or structural issues once we open things up, that can add time. We’ll let you know immediately if that’s the case and what it’ll take to fix it right. We’re not going to slap a new skylight over damaged wood and call it done—that’s how you end up with the same problems six months later.
We work efficiently because we’ve done this hundreds of times, but we don’t rush. Your home’s interior stays protected throughout the process, and we don’t leave until we’ve tested everything and walked you through how your new skylight operates.
Not if it’s installed correctly. Most skylight leaks aren’t caused by the skylight itself—they’re caused by poor flashing, incorrect sealing, or shortcuts during installation. That’s exactly what we’re fixing when we replace your unit.
We use VELUX skylights with integrated flashing systems designed specifically for Suffolk County’s weather. That means handling freeze-thaw cycles, heavy rain, and everything else Long Island throws at your roof. We install multiple waterproof barriers and seal every potential entry point for water.
Then we test it before we leave. And we back every installation with a comprehensive warranty against water infiltration. If it leaks, we come back and make it right. We’ve been doing this for over 10 years across Suffolk County, and our 4.9-star rating across 400+ reviews reflects the fact that our installations hold up. You’re not going to be positioning buckets under drips the next time it rains.
Yes. Flat roof skylights require different flashing and installation techniques than sloped roofs, but we handle both regularly across Manorville and the surrounding Suffolk County area. The key is using a curb-mounted system that elevates the skylight above the roof surface so water drains properly.
Flat roofs are more prone to pooling water, which is why flashing and sealing are even more critical. We use professional-grade materials designed specifically for flat or low-slope applications, and we make sure the curb is properly integrated with your existing roof membrane.
If your current flat roof skylight is leaking, it’s almost always a flashing issue. We’ll assess the situation during our initial visit and let you know exactly what’s needed to fix it permanently. You’re not going to keep dealing with the same leak every time it rains—we make sure of that.
Yes, if they’re installed correctly. ENERGY STAR-certified VELUX skylights can reduce your heating and cooling costs by up to 13% compared to older units. That typically translates to $10 to $15 a month in savings for most Manorville homeowners, sometimes more depending on your home’s size and how much you’re currently spending.
Older plastic skylights—especially the ones from the ’80s and ’90s—are basically holes in your roof when it comes to insulation. They let heat escape in winter and let it pour in during summer. Modern skylights use low-E coatings, insulated glass, and proper sealing to prevent that energy loss.
You’ll also use less artificial lighting during the day because skylights provide up to five times more natural light than a standard window of the same size. That’s not a huge cost savings on its own, but it adds up over time. The bigger benefit is comfort—your home feels naturally lit and stays at a more consistent temperature year-round.
If your skylight is leaking, the glass is cracked, the frame is rotting, or it’s more than 15 years old, replacement usually makes more sense than repair. Older skylights—especially plastic domes—degrade over time. The seals fail, the materials yellow and become brittle, and the flashing deteriorates. You can patch it temporarily, but you’re just delaying the inevitable.
If the leak is minor and your skylight is relatively new, a repair might be enough. We’ll assess the situation honestly during our visit and tell you what makes the most sense for your home and your budget. We’re not going to push a full replacement if a repair will actually solve the problem.
That said, most homeowners who’ve been dealing with recurring leaks find that replacement ends the cycle. You’re not calling someone back every year to re-caulk or patch. You’re done. And with modern, energy-efficient units, you’re also saving money on energy bills and adding value to your home. It’s not just about stopping the leak—it’s about upgrading to something that actually works.
