Hear From Our Clients
You stop checking the ceiling after every storm. No more buckets, no more stains spreading across your ceiling, no more wondering if that small drip is about to turn into thousands in water damage.
Your home feels different when natural light actually comes through clear glass instead of fogged, yellowed panels. Rooms look bigger. Mornings feel better. And when you walk potential buyers through in a few years, they notice.
Energy bills drop because modern skylight glass actually insulates. Your HVAC system stops fighting against heat loss in winter and heat gain in summer. That’s real money back in your account every month, not just a nice idea.
You get a skylight that’s built to handle what North Bellport throws at it—salt air, nor’easters, freeze-thaw cycles, and the kind of coastal humidity that destroys cheap flashing in two years. This is installation designed for Long Island, not a generic roof somewhere inland.
We’re a licensed roofing contractor serving North Bellport and Suffolk County. We don’t use subcontractors, which means every person on your roof is trained to our standards, insured, and accountable to us.
We’ve been doing roofing work on Long Island long enough to know what this climate does to skylights. We’ve seen what happens when someone uses the wrong flashing or skips steps to save time. We’ve repaired those jobs, and we don’t install that way.
When we say we understand North Bellport’s weather, we mean it. We deal with the same salt air, the same storms, the same freeze-thaw cycles. We know which materials hold up and which ones fail in three years. That’s not marketing—it’s just experience.
We start with an inspection of your current skylight and the roof around it. We’re looking at the flashing, the seals, the curb, the shingles, and whether water damage has already started inside the roof deck. You get a clear answer about what needs to happen and why.
Once you approve the work, we schedule around your life and Suffolk County’s weather. We don’t start a skylight job if rain’s coming in 24 hours. When we arrive, we protect your interior space first—tarps, drop cloths, the works—because skylight replacement means opening your roof.
We remove the old skylight carefully to avoid damaging surrounding shingles. Then we inspect the opening, replace any damaged decking, and install the new skylight with integrated flashing systems and multiple waterproof barriers. For flat roofs, we use curb-mounted systems with sloped insulation to direct water away from the opening.
The new skylight goes in with proper sealing, flashing that ties into your roof’s water management system, and shingles that overlap correctly. We test everything, clean up completely, and walk you through what we did. You get documentation, warranty information, and a roof that’s ready for the next storm.

You get Velux skylights engineered for our climate—double-pane insulated glass, integrated flashing systems, and warranties that actually mean something. These aren’t builder-grade skylights that fog up in three years. They’re designed to handle temperature swings, coastal humidity, and Long Island weather.
Installation includes complete removal of your old skylight, inspection and repair of any roof deck damage, new flashing installed in layers with your existing roof system, and proper sealing with materials rated for coastal conditions. If you’re in North Bellport near the bay, we use coastal-grade fasteners and corrosion-resistant flashing because salt air destroys standard materials faster than most people realize.
For flat roofs—which are common in parts of North Bellport—we install curb-mounted systems with reinforced mounting, multiple layers of waterproof membrane, and sloped insulation that directs water away from the skylight opening. Flat roof skylights need different installation techniques than sloped roofs, and we’ve done enough of both to know the difference matters.
Every installation comes with our leak-free guarantee. We also offer vented skylight options, including solar-powered models that open automatically for ventilation and close when rain sensors detect moisture. If you want better airflow in your home without leaving windows open during summer storms, that’s worth considering.
Most residential skylight replacements take one day, sometimes less depending on roof access and whether we find hidden damage. We’re usually on-site for four to six hours for a standard replacement on a sloped roof.
Flat roof skylights take longer—often a full day—because the installation process is more involved. We’re building a curb, installing multiple waterproof layers, and making sure water drainage works correctly. Rushing that process is how leaks happen.
Weather can extend timelines. If rain’s forecast within 24 hours of completion, we reschedule. We’re not opening your roof if we can’t seal it properly before water shows up. We’d rather delay a day than leave you with a tarp and a prayer.
Not if it’s installed correctly with proper flashing and sealing. Most skylight leaks aren’t the skylight’s fault—they’re installation problems. Water gets in around the flashing, through degraded sealant, or because someone didn’t integrate the flashing with the roof’s existing water management system.
We install every skylight with integrated flashing systems that work with your roof, not against it. That means multiple waterproof barriers, proper overlap with shingles, and sealants rated for Long Island’s freeze-thaw cycles. We also slope the installation so water moves away from the opening instead of pooling around it.
You get a leak-free guarantee with every installation. If water comes through because of our work, we fix it. That’s not a hedge or a loophole—it’s a straightforward promise backed by proper installation the first time.
Skylight replacement typically runs between $1,500 and $3,500 for most residential jobs in North Bellport, depending on skylight size, roof type, and whether we’re fixing damage underneath. Flat roof installations cost more because they require curb-mounted systems and more complex waterproofing.
That price includes the Velux skylight, complete removal of the old unit, flashing, sealing, any minor roof deck repairs, and installation. If we find significant water damage to the decking or framing during removal, that’s additional work, but we’ll tell you before we proceed.
We’re not the cheapest option, and that’s intentional. You’re paying for materials that last, installation that doesn’t leak, and a licensed crew that knows what Suffolk County weather does to roofs. Cheap skylight jobs turn into expensive repair jobs. We’ve fixed enough of them to know the difference matters.
Yes, and we do it regularly in North Bellport where flat roofs are common. Flat roof skylights require curb-mounted systems—basically a raised frame that lifts the skylight above the roof surface so water drains around it instead of pooling against it.
We build the curb with reinforced mounting, install multiple layers of waterproof membrane that tie into your existing roof membrane, and add sloped insulation inside the curb to direct any moisture away from the opening. The skylight sits on top of this system, sealed and flashed in layers.
Flat roof skylight installation takes longer and costs more than sloped roof installation because the process is more involved. But when it’s done right, you get a skylight that doesn’t leak even when water sits on your roof during heavy rain. We’ve installed enough of these to know what works in Suffolk County’s climate.
Yes, if you’re replacing old single-pane or poorly sealed skylights. Modern ENERGY STAR certified skylights can reduce heating and cooling costs by up to 13 percent, which adds up over time on Long Island where energy costs keep climbing.
The difference is in the glass and the sealing. Double-pane insulated glass reduces heat transfer in both directions—less heat loss in winter, less heat gain in summer. Proper sealing eliminates air leaks that force your HVAC system to work harder. Your heating and cooling system stops fighting against your skylight.
You’ll notice the difference in rooms that used to feel drafty in winter or hot in summer. The temperature evens out. Your system runs less. And when you look at your energy bills over a year, the savings are real, not theoretical.
Repair makes sense if your skylight glass is intact, the frame isn’t damaged, and the problem is just worn flashing or degraded sealant. We can replace flashing, reseal the unit, and stop leaks without replacing the entire skylight. That typically costs $400 to $800 depending on what’s needed.
Replacement makes sense when the glass is fogged or cracked, the frame is corroded or warped, or the skylight is old enough that repair is just delaying the inevitable. If your skylight is 15+ years old and leaking, replacement usually makes more financial sense than repeated repairs.
We’ll tell you honestly which option makes sense after we inspect your skylight. Sometimes repair buys you a few more years. Sometimes it’s throwing money at a skylight that’s going to fail again in six months. We’re not interested in selling you work you don’t need, but we’re also not interested in a repair that doesn’t actually solve your problem.
