Hear From Our Clients
You stop worrying every time it rains. No more buckets in the hallway, no more stains spreading across your ceiling, no more wondering if today’s the day that drip turns into real damage.
Your energy bills drop because modern skylights actually insulate instead of bleeding heat in winter and baking your rooms in summer. We’re talking 10-15% savings monthly when you replace those old plastic units with ENERGY STAR certified glass.
And your home feels different. Rooms that used to feel dim and closed-in suddenly have five times more natural light than a regular window could ever provide. That’s not marketing talk—that’s the actual difference skylights make when they’re installed correctly with proper flashing and sealed right for Suffolk County weather.
You’re not just fixing a leak. You’re upgrading how your home works and feels every single day.
We’ve been handling skylight installation and roof work across Suffolk County for over 10 years. We’re the company Patchogue homeowners call when they’re tired of contractors who don’t show up, don’t call back, or don’t fix the problem the first time.
We’re licensed, insured, and we only use professional-grade materials—Velux skylights, integrated flashing systems, and sealants rated for coastal conditions. Not because we’re trying to upsell you, but because we know what Long Island weather does to shortcuts.
You’re not getting a crew from out of state who’s never seen a nor’easter. You’re getting local professionals who understand that your $650,000+ home deserves work that lasts.
First, we come out and actually look at your skylight—not just the glass, but the flashing, the roof deck around it, and the interior for signs of hidden water damage. Most leaks aren’t the skylight itself; they’re failed flashing or improper installation from whoever put it in originally.
We’ll tell you exactly what’s wrong and what it’ll cost to fix it right. No surprises, no “we found additional issues” once we’re already on your roof. If you need full replacement, we remove the old unit, inspect and repair any roof damage, then install your new Velux skylight with step flashing around the sides and continuous flashing at the head and sill.
Everything gets sealed with high-grade materials designed for freeze-thaw cycles and salt air. We test it before we leave. And if you ever have an issue, we’re a phone call away—not some 1-800 number three states over.
The whole job typically takes one day for a standard replacement, weather permitting. You’ll know the timeline before we start.
Ready to get started?
You get complete removal of your old skylight and proper disposal. We’re not leaving that in your driveway. You get a new Velux skylight—fixed or vented, depending on what works for your space—with Low-E glass and factory warranties up to 20 years on the unit itself.
You get professional installation with integrated flashing systems, multiple waterproof barriers, and sealants rated for Long Island’s coastal climate. That means your skylight can handle the temperature swings from 23°F to 81°F that Patchogue sees throughout the year, plus the salt air that corrodes cheaper materials in just a few seasons.
You also get our leak-free guarantee backed by up to 10 years on labor. We’re not walking away and hoping it holds. We’re standing behind the work because we installed it correctly the first time.
And if you’re dealing with an emergency leak, we offer 24/7 response throughout Suffolk County. We’ll get a temporary fix in place to stop the damage, then schedule permanent repairs as soon as weather allows. Water damage doesn’t wait for business hours, and neither do we.
Skylight replacement in Patchogue typically runs between $2,000 and $5,300 depending on the size of the unit, whether it’s fixed or vented, and how much roof repair is needed around the opening. That’s up about $200-500 from last year because material costs keep climbing.
If you’re just replacing a standard fixed skylight with no underlying damage, you’re looking at the lower end. If you’re upgrading to a larger vented unit or we find rotted decking that needs replacement, costs go up.
We’ll give you an exact price after we inspect your roof. No ballpark estimates, no “it depends” runaround. You’ll know what it costs before we start, and that number won’t change unless you ask us to do additional work.
Because most repairs don’t fix the actual problem. Three out of four skylight leaks are caused by failed flashing, not the skylight itself. If someone just resealed the glass or slapped some caulk around the edges, they didn’t address why water’s getting in.
Proper skylight installation requires step flashing around the sides, continuous flashing at the top and bottom, and everything needs to integrate with your roof’s existing water management system. If the flashing is corroded, separated, or was never installed correctly in the first place, no amount of sealant will stop the leak.
The other issue is that Long Island’s freeze-thaw cycles and salt air destroy shortcuts fast. Cheap sealants crack. Improper flashing warps. And suddenly you’re calling someone else to fix what the last guy “fixed.” When we replace a skylight, we’re addressing the flashing, the seals, and the roof deck—everything that keeps water out for the next 10-15 years.
A standard skylight replacement usually takes one full day, assuming decent weather. We’re not rushing it, but we’re also not dragging it out over a week.
The timeline can stretch if we find roof damage that needs repair first, or if we’re waiting on a custom-size unit to arrive. We’ll tell you upfront if anything’s going to delay the job.
Weather’s the wildcard. We’re not installing skylights in the rain or when ice is forecasted. That’s how leaks happen. If conditions aren’t right, we’ll reschedule rather than compromise the installation. You want it done right more than you want it done fast, and so do we.
Yes, and the difference is significant if you’re replacing old plastic or single-pane units. Modern Velux skylights with Low-E glass can be up to 35% more energy efficient than older models, which translates to real savings on your electric bill—typically $10-15 per month in Suffolk County.
ENERGY STAR certified skylights reduce heat gain in summer and heat loss in winter. That means your HVAC system isn’t working as hard to keep your home comfortable, which is especially noticeable in rooms that used to feel like saunas in July or freezers in January.
The payback period is usually 5-7 years, but you’re also getting better light quality, improved ventilation if you go with a vented model, and an upgrade that buyers actually look for when you eventually sell. Energy efficiency isn’t just about saving money—it’s about making your home more comfortable right now.
Yes. If your skylight is actively leaking and causing damage, call us anytime—24/7 emergency service throughout Suffolk County. We’ll walk you through immediate steps to minimize damage, then get someone out as soon as possible to stop the leak temporarily.
Temporary fixes usually involve tarping or sealing the area until we can do permanent repairs. We’re not leaving you with buckets and towels while water pours into your home.
Permanent repairs get scheduled based on weather and material availability, but we move fast. Most emergency calls get resolved within 48-72 hours depending on conditions. And if the damage is severe enough that full replacement makes more sense than patching, we’ll tell you that upfront so you can make the right call for your home and your budget.
Repair makes sense if the skylight itself is in good shape and the leak is caused by failed flashing or sealant. We can often re-flash and reseal a unit that’s less than 10 years old for a fraction of replacement cost.
Replacement is the right move if the skylight is old, the seals are failing, the glass is cracked, or you’re dealing with an outdated plastic dome that’s yellowed and energy-inefficient. At that point, you’re throwing money at a unit that’s going to keep causing problems.
Here’s the honest answer: if your skylight is over 15 years old and leaking, replace it. If it’s newer and the unit itself is fine, we can probably repair it. We’ll inspect it and tell you which option makes sense for your situation. We’re not pushing replacement if repair will actually work, but we’re also not going to patch something that’s going to fail again in two years.
