Professional Skylight Installation Patchogue

Get Years of Leak-Free Performance

When your skylight is properly replaced, you stop worrying about the next storm. No more buckets catching drips. No more watching water stains spread across your ceiling. No more wondering if today’s the day your skylight finally gives out completely. Your energy bills drop because modern skylights with proper sealing don’t let your expensive conditioned air escape through gaps and cracks. Your home stays comfortable year-round without forcing your HVAC system to work overtime compensating for drafty, failing skylights. Most importantly, you protect your biggest investment. Water damage from leaky skylights destroys insulation, rots framing, ruins furniture, and creates mold problems that cost thousands more than addressing the skylight itself.

Skylight Contractors Patchogue NY

Local Contractors Who Actually Show Up

We’ve served Patchogue and Long Island homeowners for over 10 years. We’re the contractors who show up when we say we will, finish jobs completely, and answer our phones when you call. Our team understands Long Island’s unique challenges. Patchogue homes face increasing heat stress – temperatures over 93°F are expected to increase by 157% over the next 30 years. That makes proper skylight installation crucial for energy efficiency and long-term comfort. We’ve seen what happens when contractors cut corners on skylight installation. Leaks within months. Energy bills that spike. Homeowners dealing with the same problems over and over. That’s not how we work.

Skylight Replacement Process Patchogue

Here's Exactly What Happens During Replacement

We start with a thorough inspection of your current skylight and surrounding roof area. Most contractors look at the obvious leak and start talking about flashing repairs. We examine everything – the skylight unit, interior water damage, structural issues, and why the problem started in the first place. Next comes careful removal of the old skylight. We protect your home’s interior, check for hidden damage, and address any structural concerns before installing anything new. No shortcuts. No covering up problems with the new installation. The new skylight installation includes proper flashing systems, weatherproofing that actually works, and sealing techniques designed for Long Island’s climate. We use quality skylights like Velux that come with real warranties, plus professional interior finishing so your ceiling looks like the work was done by craftsmen, not weekend warriors.

How much does skylight replacement cost in Patchogue, NY?

Skylight replacement in Patchogue typically runs between $2,500 and $6,000, depending on the skylight size, type, and your roof’s complexity.

No surprise charges after we start. You’ll know exactly what you’re paying for and why.

Why do skylights leak and how do you prevent it?

The number one cause of skylight leaks isn’t weather or defective products – it’s improper installation by contractors who don’t know what they’re doing. We see it constantly: rushed jobs, incorrect flashing, inadequate sealing, even skylights installed crooked. Three out of four skylight leaks we repair are caused by failures in the skylight unit itself, not just the flashing around it. Many contractors think slapping some tar around the edges fixes everything. It doesn’t. It often makes problems worse by trapping water that has to find new ways out. We prevent leaks by following manufacturer installation specifications exactly. Proper flashing systems. Adequate sealing that works with your roof materials. Taking the time to do it right the first time. A correctly installed skylight should be leak-free for 20+ years.

Should I replace my skylight when getting a new roof?

If your skylight is over 15 years old or showing any signs of problems, absolutely replace it during roof replacement. You’re already paying for roof access, material removal, and skilled labor – adding skylight replacement saves significant money compared to doing separate projects. Older skylights often don’t meet current energy codes and have outdated sealing systems that don’t play well with modern roofing materials. Trying to work around an aging skylight during roof replacement can create compatibility issues that lead to leaks down the road. If your skylight is relatively new and in excellent condition, we can work around it. But we’ll inspect it thoroughly and give you an honest assessment of whether replacement makes sense for your long-term peace of mind.

What's the difference between skylight repair and replacement?

Skylight repair makes sense for minor issues – replacing weatherstripping, resealing small gaps, or addressing isolated flashing problems. But here’s what most homeowners don’t know: the majority of skylight leaks we see are caused by unit failure, not just flashing issues. If your skylight has cracked glass, a warped frame, condensation between panes, or keeps leaking despite repair attempts, replacement is the smart move. Continuing to throw money at repairs for a failing skylight often costs more than replacing it properly once. We’ll give you an honest assessment. Sometimes a $400 repair saves you years of trouble. Sometimes spending $3,500 on replacement saves you from endless headaches and protects your home’s value. We’ll tell you which situation you’re in.

How long does skylight replacement take?

Most single skylight replacements take one full day, weather permitting. We start by protecting your interior, then carefully remove the old unit and assess what we’re working with underneath. The actual installation includes fitting the new skylight, installing complete flashing systems, sealing all connections, and finishing interior work. We don’t rush skylight installation because proper sealing takes time. Cutting corners to finish faster is how you end up with leaks six months later. We’d rather take the time to do it right than have to come back and fix problems. Complex jobs – steep roofs, multiple skylights, or situations requiring structural work – may take two days. We’ll give you an accurate timeline upfront and keep you updated if weather or unexpected conditions change the schedule.

Do you offer warranties on skylight replacement work?

We provide comprehensive warranties covering both our installation work and the skylight materials. Our labor warranty protects the installation workmanship for up to 10 years. Manufacturer warranties on quality skylights like Velux extend up to 30 years, depending on the specific model and features. If your skylight develops leaks due to installation problems, we return to fix it at no charge. That’s our guarantee. Quality manufacturers also back their products against defects and offer replacement coverage when skylights are properly installed by certified contractors. We stand behind our work because we use proven techniques and quality materials. When a skylight is installed correctly, it should give you decades of reliable performance. Our warranties ensure you’re protected if anything goes wrong.
