You stop worrying every time it rains. No more buckets under drips, no more stained ceilings, no more wondering if this storm will be the one that causes real damage.
Your energy bills drop because modern skylights with Low-E glass don’t bleed heat in winter or turn your home into a greenhouse in summer. ENERGY STAR certified skylights can cut heating and cooling costs by up to 13%, which adds up to real money over time.
The rooms that felt dark and closed-in suddenly feel open. Natural light makes everything look better—your furniture, your walls, even your mood. Skylights provide up to five times more light than the same square footage of vertical windows, and you get that light without sacrificing privacy or wall space.
When you sell, buyers notice. They see natural light, they see quality installation, and they ask when the skylight was replaced and who did the work. In Suffolk County where median home values exceed $650,000, these details matter.
We’ve spent over a decade serving Suffolk County homeowners who needed skylight problems solved right. We’re fully licensed and insured, and every crew member knows how to install flashing systems that work with Long Island’s freeze-thaw cycles, nor’easters, and coastal moisture.
We live here too. We know North Lindenhurst’s building codes, weather patterns, and what happens when someone cuts corners on a skylight installation. Most of our skylight replacement work comes from homeowners who hired the wrong contractor the first time and don’t want to make that mistake twice.
You’ll work with the same team from estimate to completion. We use Velux skylights because after 20 years of installations, we’ve seen which brands hold up and which don’t. Our warranties cover both materials and workmanship, and we’re still here when you need us.
We start with an inspection of your current skylight, the surrounding roof area, and the interior ceiling. You need to know if the leak is coming from failed flashing, a cracked skylight, or damage to the roof deck itself. We tell you what we find and what it’ll take to fix it properly.
Once you approve the estimate, we schedule the work for a day with good weather. Most single skylight replacements take four to six hours. We protect your interior with tarps, remove the old skylight and flashing, inspect the roof deck for any water damage, and make repairs if needed.
The new Velux skylight goes in with integrated flashing systems designed specifically for your roof type. We use step flashing around the sides, continuous flashing at the head and sill, and multiple waterproof barriers. Everything gets sealed with high-grade materials rated for coastal climates.
Before we leave, we clean up completely and walk you through the new skylight’s features. You get documentation on the installation, warranty information, and our contact details for any questions down the road. If it rains that night, you’ll sleep fine.
Ready to get started?
Every home skylight replacement includes removal of your old skylight and all associated flashing. We inspect the roof deck and framing for water damage, rot, or structural issues. If we find problems, you’ll know before we proceed, and we can handle those repairs the same day.
You get a new Velux skylight with double-pane, Low-E glass that’s engineered for our climate. These aren’t the plastic bubble skylights from the 80s. Modern skylights have argon gas fills, UV protection, and insulated frames that prevent condensation and heat loss.
The flashing system is custom-fit to your roof type and pitch. Flat roofs get curb-mounted systems with multiple layers of waterproof membrane. Pitched roofs get deck-mounted systems with integrated flashing that sheds water like it should. We don’t use generic flashing kits—everything is sized and installed for your specific situation.
North Lindenhurst sits in a climate zone that gets 25-40 inches of snow annually, with freeze-thaw cycles that destroy poor installations. We account for ice dams, thermal expansion, and the coastal moisture that accelerates seal degradation. Your new skylight is built to handle what Long Island throws at it, and our warranty backs that up.
Most residential skylight replacements in North Lindenhurst run between $1,500 and $3,500 depending on skylight size, roof access, and whether we’re dealing with a flat or pitched roof. That includes the Velux skylight, all flashing materials, labor, and cleanup.
Flat roofs cost more because they require curb-mounted systems with custom flashing and waterproof membrane work. If we find roof deck damage during removal, that’s additional, but we’ll give you a price before proceeding. Larger skylights or difficult access points also affect cost.
The cheapest option is rarely the best option. Skylights installed incorrectly will leak, and fixing water damage costs far more than doing the installation right the first time. We give you transparent pricing upfront, and we offer financing options for qualified homeowners who want to spread out the investment.
Most single skylight replacements take four to six hours from start to finish. We typically complete the job in one day, weather permitting. Larger projects or multiple skylights may take longer, but we’ll give you a realistic timeline during the estimate.
We protect your home’s interior with tarps and work efficiently to minimize disruption. The actual skylight and flashing installation is the bulk of the time—removal is quick, but proper installation can’t be rushed. Every seal, every flashing layer, every fastener matters when you’re creating a waterproof barrier.
If weather turns bad mid-project, we secure everything immediately so your home stays protected. We don’t leave jobs half-finished. Once we start, we’re committed to completing the installation that day unless conditions make it unsafe or impossible to guarantee quality work.
Not if it’s installed correctly. Most skylight leaks come from improper flashing installation, not from the skylight itself. We use Velux integrated flashing systems that are engineered to work with Long Island’s weather—freeze-thaw cycles, ice dams, nor’easters, and coastal moisture.
The flashing creates multiple waterproof barriers around your skylight. Step flashing along the sides channels water down and away. Continuous flashing at the head and sill prevents water from getting behind the skylight. Everything overlaps like shingles, so water can only move in one direction: off your roof.
We back every installation with a comprehensive warranty that covers both materials and workmanship. Velux skylights come with up to 10 years on materials. Our workmanship warranty means if there’s ever a leak related to installation, we come back and fix it. After a decade of serving Suffolk County, our reputation depends on installations that don’t leak.
Yes, but flat roofs require different installation techniques than pitched roofs. Flat roof skylights use curb-mounted systems that sit on a raised frame, creating the slope needed for water drainage. Without that slope, water pools around the skylight and eventually finds a way in.
We build or replace the curb, install multiple layers of waterproof membrane, add custom flashing, and use reinforced mounting systems. The skylight itself sits on top of this assembly, and we add sloped insulation underneath to direct any moisture away from your interior.
Flat roof skylight replacements take longer and cost more than pitched roof installations because there’s more involved. But when it’s done right, you get a skylight that handles Long Island’s weather without leaking. We’ve replaced dozens of flat roof skylights in North Lindenhurst and throughout Suffolk County, and we know how to make them last.
If your skylight is over 15 years old, replacement usually makes more sense than repair. Older skylights lack the energy-efficient features of modern units—Low-E glass, argon fills, insulated frames, and UV protection. Even if the skylight isn’t visibly damaged, the seals and hardware are likely degraded.
Repairs can stop an immediate leak, but they don’t address the underlying problem. If the flashing failed once, it’ll fail again. If the skylight is cracked or the seals are shot, you’re just buying time. And while you wait, you’re losing money on energy bills and risking water damage to your ceiling, walls, and floors.
New Velux skylights are significantly more energy efficient than skylights from the 90s or early 2000s. They can be up to 35% more efficient, which translates to lower heating and cooling costs. When you factor in the energy savings, the improved light quality, and the peace of mind from a proper warranty, replacement is usually the smarter investment.
Yes. Storm damage doesn’t wait, and neither do we. If your skylight is leaking and causing active water damage, we’ll secure your home immediately and start repairs the same day whenever possible. We understand that water coming through your ceiling is an emergency.
We’ll tarp the area, assess the damage, and give you options. Sometimes a temporary repair buys you time until we can schedule a full replacement. Other times, the damage is severe enough that replacement needs to happen immediately to prevent further problems.
We’re available for emergency calls because we know Long Island weather doesn’t follow a schedule. Nor’easters, heavy snow, and ice dams can cause skylight failures without warning. When you need help, you need someone who answers the phone and shows up ready to work—not someone who puts you on a waiting list while water damages your home.
