Why Shirley Homeowners Choose Us

Home Team Construction has been solving skylight problems for Shirley homeowners since 2002. We’re a family-owned company that understands Long Island weather challenges. We’ve seen what happens when skylights aren’t installed properly. We’ve fixed the water damage, replaced the rotted wood, and cleaned up the mess left by contractors who cut corners. That’s exactly why we don’t cut corners. Our team knows how coastal weather affects skylights differently than inland installations. We account for salt air, heavy rains, and the freeze-thaw cycles that destroy poorly installed units. Every skylight we install is built to handle what Long Island throws at it.

Skylight Replacement Process Shirley NY

Here's How We Replace Your Skylight

First, we inspect your current skylight and the surrounding roof structure. We check for water damage, measure for proper sizing, and assess what type of replacement will work best for your home. Next, we carefully remove your old skylight, protecting your interior from debris and weather. We inspect the roof opening, repair any damage, and prepare the area for your new unit. Then we install your new skylight with proper flashing, sealing, and weatherproofing. We test everything thoroughly before we consider the job complete. You get a final walkthrough where we show you exactly what we did and how to maintain your new skylight for maximum lifespan.

Velux Skylight Replacement Shirley NY

What's Included in Your Replacement

Your skylight replacement includes removal of your old unit, proper disposal, and installation of your new energy-efficient skylight. We handle all flashing, sealing, and weatherproofing to prevent leaks. Shirley’s coastal location means your skylight faces unique challenges. Salt air accelerates corrosion, and the frequent temperature changes can cause expansion and contraction issues. We use materials specifically rated for coastal environments and install with techniques that account for these local conditions. You also get our warranty on both materials and workmanship. We provide maintenance guidance specific to Long Island weather patterns, so you know how to keep your skylight performing optimally. Emergency service is available because we know storms don’t wait for convenient times.

How long does skylight replacement take in Shirley NY?

Most skylight replacements take 3-5 hours, depending on the size and complexity of your installation. Weather is the biggest factor that affects timing on Long Island. We always check the forecast before starting work. If rain is expected, we’ll reschedule rather than risk exposing your home to water damage. When we do start, we work efficiently to minimize the time your roof opening is exposed. For complex installations or multiple skylights, we may need a full day. We’ll give you an accurate timeline during our initial inspection so you can plan accordingly.

What causes skylights to leak in Shirley homes?

The most common cause is improper flashing installation. Flashing is the metal barrier that prevents water from getting under your skylight, and it has to be installed perfectly to work. Long Island’s freeze-thaw cycles make this even more critical. Water gets into small gaps, freezes, expands, and creates bigger gaps. After a few seasons, what started as a minor installation flaw becomes a major leak. Poor quality sealants also fail faster in our coastal environment. Salt air and UV exposure break down inferior materials. That’s why we use marine-grade sealants and flashing materials designed for coastal conditions.

Should I repair or replace my leaking skylight?

If your skylight is over 10 years old and leaking, replacement usually makes more sense than repair. Older skylights often have multiple failing components, and fixing one problem doesn’t prevent others. Modern skylights are significantly more energy efficient than units installed even 5-10 years ago. The energy savings alone can offset much of the replacement cost over time. However, if your skylight is relatively new and the leak is clearly from one specific issue, repair might be the right choice. We’ll give you an honest assessment during our inspection and explain the pros and cons of each option.

Do you install Velux skylights in Shirley NY?

Yes, we’re experienced with Velux skylights and carry their full line of products. Velux makes some of the highest quality skylights available, and they’re particularly well-suited for Long Island’s climate challenges. Velux skylights come with excellent warranties and are designed to handle the temperature extremes and weather conditions we see here. Their flashing systems are engineered to prevent the leaks that plague cheaper skylights. We can also work with other quality brands if you have specific preferences. What matters most is matching the right skylight to your home’s needs and installing it properly for Long Island conditions.

How much does skylight replacement cost in Shirley?

Skylight replacement costs vary based on size, type, and installation complexity. A basic fixed skylight replacement typically costs less than a larger venting unit with electronic controls. The condition of your roof structure also affects pricing. If we find water damage that needs repair, that adds to the project cost. However, addressing structural issues now prevents much more expensive problems later. We provide free estimates that include all costs upfront. No surprises, no hidden fees. We’ll explain exactly what’s included and why each component is necessary for a leak-free installation.

Do you offer emergency skylight repair in Shirley NY?

Yes, we provide emergency skylight services for Shirley homeowners. Storm damage and sudden leaks can’t wait for regular business hours. Our emergency service includes temporary weatherproofing to protect your home until we can complete permanent repairs or replacement. We carry emergency materials and can respond quickly to prevent water damage from spreading. Keep in mind that emergency calls during storms may have limited availability for safety reasons. We won’t put our crew at risk on rooftops during dangerous weather, but we’ll respond as soon as conditions allow.
