No more buckets on rainy days. No more stained ceilings or worried glances at the sky when storms roll in.
When we replace your skylight in Melville, NY, you get a completely weatherproof system that handles Suffolk County’s harsh freeze-thaw cycles. Our Velux skylights come with integrated flashing designed specifically for Long Island weather patterns.
You’ll also cut your energy bills. These aren’t the old plastic dome skylights that leak heat. Modern Velux skylights feature double-pane glass and advanced insulation that keeps your home comfortable while reducing heating and cooling costs—important when New York has some of the highest electricity rates in the country.
We’ve been solving skylight problems across Suffolk County for over 10 years. We’re not a fly-by-night operation or a big box store subcontractor.
Every crew member is licensed, trained, and insured. We live and work in this community, so our reputation depends on getting it right the first time.
Melville homeowners choose us because we understand local building codes, weather patterns, and the specific challenges that come with installing skylights on Long Island homes. When you’re investing in a $900,000+ home, you want contractors who know what they’re doing.
First, we inspect your existing skylight and the surrounding roof area. Most leaks aren’t actually from the skylight itself—they’re from improper flashing or degraded sealants around the frame.
We remove the old unit completely and check for any water damage or structural issues. If we find problems, we fix them before installing the new skylight. No shortcuts, no patch jobs.
Then we install your new Velux skylight with proper flashing, waterproof membranes, and all the mounting hardware needed for Suffolk County wind loads. We also upgrade the surrounding roof membrane when necessary to ensure your entire roof system works together. The whole process typically takes 4-6 hours, and we protect your home’s interior throughout the work.

Not all skylights are created equal. After 20 years of installations, we’ve seen which brands hold up and which ones don’t.
We exclusively install Velux skylights because they’re engineered for our climate and backed by real warranties. Their double-pane glass reduces heat loss in winter and keeps your home cooler in summer—crucial when Melville homeowners face some of the highest energy costs in the nation.
Velux skylights also come with integrated flashing systems that work with your roof, not against it. Their solar-powered models open automatically for ventilation and close when it rains. In Suffolk County’s humid summers, that natural ventilation can significantly reduce your air conditioning costs while improving indoor air quality.
Skylight replacement in Melville typically ranges from $800 to $2,500 per skylight, including professional installation. The cost depends on skylight size, roof complexity, and whether additional roof repairs are needed.
Velux skylights with professional installation usually cost 3-4 times the price of the unit alone, but this includes proper flashing, waterproofing, and our leak-free guarantee. We provide upfront pricing with no hidden fees, and financing options are available for qualified homeowners.
Remember, cheap installation often leads to expensive problems later. When you’re protecting a $900,000+ Melville home, investing in quality installation makes financial sense.
Most skylight leaks happen because of improper flashing installation or degraded sealants, not the skylight itself. In Suffolk County’s freeze-thaw cycles, water gets into small gaps, freezes, expands, and creates larger openings.
Many contractors don’t understand how to properly integrate skylights with Long Island’s roofing systems. They use generic flashing instead of manufacturer-specific systems designed for our climate.
We use Velux’s integrated flashing systems and multiple layers of waterproof protection. Our installations are designed to handle everything from nor’easters to summer storms, which is why we can offer leak-free guarantees.
It depends on your skylight’s age and condition. If the frame is structurally sound and the flashing isn’t compromised, glass replacement might be possible for newer units under 10 years old.
However, most skylights over 15 years old benefit from complete replacement because the seals, hardware, and flashing typically need updating too. Trying to save money with partial repairs often leads to ongoing problems.
We’ll assess your specific situation during our free inspection and recommend the most cost-effective solution that actually solves the problem long-term. Sometimes spending a bit more upfront saves thousands in future repairs.
Most single skylight replacements take 4-6 hours, depending on roof type and access. We typically complete the work in one day, weather permitting.
Flat roof installations may take longer due to additional waterproofing steps required. Complex installations or situations where we discover structural issues might extend to two days.
We always protect your home’s interior with tarps and work efficiently to minimize disruption. We’ll give you a realistic timeline during our initial inspection so you can plan accordingly.
Yes, when properly installed. Modern Velux skylights can significantly reduce both lighting and heating costs. During daylight hours, you’ll use less artificial lighting, and the improved insulation reduces heat loss.
In New York, where we have some of the highest electricity rates in the nation, these savings add up quickly. The double-pane glass and advanced sealing systems in Velux skylights help maintain indoor temperatures more efficiently.
Operable skylights provide additional savings through natural ventilation. During mild weather, you can reduce air conditioning usage by opening skylights to create airflow, which is especially valuable in humid Suffolk County summers.
We provide comprehensive warranty coverage on both materials and workmanship. Velux skylights come with manufacturer warranties up to 20 years on the skylight itself, plus our leak-free installation guarantee.
Our workmanship warranty covers the installation, flashing, and waterproofing for several years. If you experience any leaks due to installation issues, we’ll return to fix the problem at no charge.
This is why choosing experienced, licensed contractors matters. Warranty coverage is only as good as the company backing it, and we’ve been serving Suffolk County homeowners for over a decade.
