You know that sinking feeling when you spot water stains spreading across your ceiling. Another skylight leak means more damage, higher repair bills, and sleepless nights during every storm.
Here’s what changes when you get your skylight replacement done right. No more buckets catching drips. No more worrying about mold growing behind your walls. Your energy bills drop because modern skylights actually insulate instead of bleeding heat.
You get natural light that makes your space feel bigger and brighter, without the constant stress of wondering when the next leak will start. That’s the difference between a quick fix and a real solution.
We’ve been serving North Sea homeowners for years, and we understand what Long Island weather does to skylights. The coastal conditions, temperature swings, and seasonal storms that make this area beautiful also create unique challenges for your home.
We’ve replaced skylights in everything from historic North Sea cottages to modern waterfront homes. We know which materials hold up to salt air and which installation techniques prevent the ice dams that plague coastal properties.
When you’re dealing with million-dollar North Sea real estate, you need contractors who understand that every detail matters. We treat your home like our own because your investment deserves that level of care.
We start with a thorough inspection of your current skylight and the surrounding roof area. This isn’t just about the obvious damage you can see—we check the flashing, examine the roof deck, and identify any issues that could cause problems later.
Next, we remove your old skylight carefully, protecting your interior from weather and debris. We inspect the roof opening, make any necessary structural repairs, and prepare the area for your new installation.
The new skylight goes in with proper flashing, high-quality sealants, and attention to every detail that prevents future leaks. We test everything before we consider the job complete. You get a skylight that works the way it should from day one, with the peace of mind that comes from professional installation.

Every skylight replacement we do in North Sea includes upgraded flashing designed for coastal weather conditions. We use materials that resist salt air corrosion and handle the temperature extremes that come with being this close to the water.
Your new skylight gets insulated glass that actually saves energy instead of wasting it. We install proper vapor barriers and ensure adequate ventilation to prevent the condensation issues that plague many Long Island homes.
North Sea’s seasonal residents need skylights that perform whether the house is occupied or not. We install systems that won’t develop problems during extended periods without heating or cooling, so you come back to a home that’s exactly as you left it.
Skylight replacement in North Sea typically ranges from $2,500 to $6,000, depending on the size, type, and complexity of your installation. The final cost includes the skylight unit, professional installation, proper flashing, and any necessary roof repairs.
Factors that affect price include your roof’s pitch and accessibility, the type of skylight you choose (fixed, vented, or solar-powered), and whether we need to modify the existing opening. We provide detailed estimates that break down all costs upfront, so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
Remember that professional installation is crucial—the average skylight replacement costs 3-4 times the unit price when you factor in materials and labor, making it essential to get it done right the first time.
Velux skylights consistently perform best in Long Island’s challenging climate. They’re engineered to handle temperature extremes, resist salt air corrosion, and provide excellent insulation that actually reduces your energy costs.
We also work with other premium brands, but Velux offers the most comprehensive warranty and has proven durability in coastal conditions. Their flashing systems are specifically designed to prevent the leak issues that plague cheaper alternatives.
The key isn’t just the brand—it’s proper installation with high-quality flashing and sealants. Even the best skylight will fail if it’s not installed correctly, which is why professional installation matters more than the brand name alone.
Most skylight replacements in North Sea take one to two days, depending on weather conditions and the complexity of your installation. We can usually remove your old skylight and install the new one in a single day if conditions are favorable.
Weather is always a factor with skylight work—we won’t start if rain or high winds are forecast, because protecting your home’s interior is our top priority. We schedule installations during stable weather windows and have contingency plans for unexpected changes.
Complex installations that require structural modifications or multiple skylights may take longer. We’ll give you a realistic timeline during your estimate and keep you updated throughout the process so you know what to expect.
Not if it’s installed correctly. Most skylight leaks aren’t caused by the skylight itself—they’re caused by poor installation, inadequate flashing, or improper integration with the roof system.
We address these issues by using advanced flashing techniques, high-quality sealants, and proper installation methods that create what’s called an “envelope seal.” This comprehensive approach ensures your skylight performs in all weather conditions for the entire life of your roof.
We also provide warranties on our installation work, so if any issues develop, we’ll come back and make it right. The combination of quality materials, proper installation, and our guarantee gives you the confidence that your skylight problems are solved for good.
We can install skylights during winter, but we’re very selective about weather conditions. We need a clear, dry day with temperatures above freezing and no precipitation in the forecast for at least 24 hours after installation.
Winter installations require extra precautions to protect your home’s interior and ensure proper sealant curing. We use temporary weather protection and may need to schedule around weather patterns more carefully than during other seasons.
Many North Sea homeowners prefer spring or fall installations when weather is more predictable. However, if you have an emergency situation with a damaged skylight, we can often provide temporary weatherproofing until conditions allow for permanent replacement.
Most skylight replacements don’t require permits if you’re replacing an existing skylight with a similar size unit. However, if you’re enlarging the opening, changing the skylight type significantly, or making structural modifications, permits may be required.
We handle all permit requirements as part of our service, so you don’t need to worry about navigating the Southampton Town building department. We know the local requirements and ensure all work meets code.
For new skylight installations (not replacements), permits are typically required. We’ll determine what’s needed during your consultation and include any permit costs in your estimate, so there are no surprises later in the process.
