Hear From Our Clients
You’re not just swapping out glass. You’re stopping leaks that damage ceilings, cutting energy bills that climb every winter, and getting natural light without the constant worry that the next storm will turn your skylight into a problem.
When we replace your skylight, you get Velux units built for coastal climates. Double-pane glass that keeps heat in during winter and blocks it during summer. Flashing systems designed for Southampton’s freeze-thaw cycles and salt air corrosion. Installation done in a day for most homes, with a leak-free guarantee that actually means something.
The difference shows up fast. Lower energy costs within the first month. No more water stains spreading across your ceiling. No more wondering if you need to put a bucket down when it rains. Just a skylight that works the way it should have from the start.
We’ve spent more than 10 years working on Suffolk County homes. We’re not a crew that shows up, does the job, and disappears. We live here. Our reputation is built on the same streets where you’re raising your family or running your business.
Southampton’s coastal location creates specific problems for skylights. Salt air eats through cheap flashing. Wind-driven rain finds every gap in a rushed installation. We’ve seen what happens when contractors use inland methods on coastal homes, and we’ve fixed enough of those mistakes to know exactly what works here.
You get licensed, insured contractors who understand that a skylight replacement in Southampton isn’t the same job as one in the middle of Long Island. The materials are different. The installation process accounts for different weather. And the warranty we offer backs that up.
We start with a free inspection of your current skylight. You’ll know if you need a full replacement or if a repair makes more sense. If your skylight is over 15 years old, leaking, or fogging between panes, replacement is usually the right call.
Once you approve the upfront pricing, we schedule the work around your life and the weather. Most single residential skylight replacements take four to six hours. We remove the old unit, inspect and repair any roof deck damage, install new coastal-rated flashing, and set the new Velux skylight with proper waterproofing at every layer.
You’re not left guessing what’s happening. We send photo updates as we work and walk you through what we found and what we fixed. When we’re done, you get a skylight that’s sealed right, flashed correctly for Southampton weather, and covered by both the manufacturer’s warranty and our installation guarantee. If it leaks because of our work, we fix it at no charge.

Every home skylight replacement includes removal of your old unit, disposal of all materials, and a full inspection of the roof deck underneath. If we find rot or damage from previous leaks, we repair it before the new skylight goes in. You don’t want a new skylight sitting on compromised wood.
The new Velux skylight comes with double-pane, energy-efficient glass that can cut your heating and cooling costs by up to 13%. That’s not marketing talk—that’s ENERGY STAR data. In Southampton, where you’re running AC all summer and heat all winter, that adds up. We also offer solar-powered models that open for ventilation and close automatically when rain hits.
Flashing is where most skylight leaks start, so we use multi-layer waterproof systems designed for coastal wind and rain. The installation accounts for Southampton’s specific challenges: salt air corrosion, temperature swings, and the hurricane-force winds that test every fastener. You also get options for flat roof skylight installation if your home has a low-slope or flat section, using curb-mounted systems with proper drainage built in.
Most residential skylight replacement projects in Southampton run between $2,000 and $5,300 per skylight in 2025. That includes the Velux unit, removal of your old skylight, proper coastal-rated flashing, installation labor, and cleanup.
The range depends on skylight size, roof pitch, and whether we’re working on a standard asphalt shingle roof or a flat roof that needs a curb-mounted system. Larger skylights cost more. Steeper roofs take more time and safety equipment. If there’s roof deck damage from previous leaks, repair costs get added.
We give you upfront pricing after the free inspection. No surprises, no hidden fees. You’ll know exactly what you’re paying before we start, and that price includes everything needed to get the job done right the first time.
If your skylight is over 15 years old, replacement almost always makes more sense than repair. Seals degrade, flashing corrodes, and the frame itself weakens over time. You can chase leaks with patches and caulk, but you’re usually just delaying the inevitable.
Skylights that are fogging between the glass panes have failed seals. That’s not repairable—the unit needs replacement. Same goes for visible cracks in the glass, warped frames, or skylights that leak in multiple spots. Repair might buy you a year, but replacement gives you 10-plus years of reliability with a proper warranty.
For newer skylights with a single, obvious leak point, repair can work. But in Southampton’s coastal climate, where salt air and storms accelerate wear, we see better long-term results with full replacement on older units. You get modern energy efficiency, better materials, and you stop throwing money at a problem that keeps coming back.
Most single skylight replacements are done in one day. The actual work takes four to six hours for a standard installation on an asphalt shingle roof. We show up, remove the old skylight, handle any roof deck repairs, install the new unit with proper flashing, and clean up the site.
Weather can push the timeline. We won’t install a skylight in the rain or when high winds make roof work unsafe. Southampton’s coastal weather sometimes means we need to reschedule, but we keep you updated and work around your schedule.
Larger projects with multiple skylights or complex flat roof installations can take two days. If we find significant rot or structural damage during removal, that adds time for repairs. But you’ll know about any delays before they happen—we don’t just extend the job without talking to you first.
Yes. Velux skylights come with up to 10 years on materials, covering defects in the glass, frame, and hardware. Our installation work is covered by a separate workmanship warranty that protects you if leaks develop due to installation errors.
If your skylight leaks because of how we installed it—improper flashing, missed sealant, incorrect fastening—we come back and fix it at no charge. That’s the leak-free guarantee. You’re not paying twice for the same job.
The warranty doesn’t cover damage from falling branches, hail, or other external impacts. It also doesn’t cover leaks caused by other roof damage unrelated to the skylight installation. But for everything that’s on us—the flashing, the sealing, the installation process—you’re covered. We’ve been doing this in Suffolk County for over 10 years, and our reputation depends on standing behind the work.
Velux skylights with double-pane, energy-efficient glass and coastal-rated flashing hold up best in Southampton. The double-pane glass handles temperature swings better than single-pane units, and the low-E coating reduces heat transfer so you’re not losing warmth in winter or gaining it in summer.
Coastal climates demand better corrosion resistance. Salt air eats through standard metal flashing faster than it would inland. We use flashing systems designed for high-wind coastal zones, with materials that resist corrosion and fastening methods that account for Southampton’s storm exposure.
Solar-powered skylights are also a solid option here. They open for ventilation and close automatically when rain sensors detect moisture. No wiring needed—the solar panel powers everything. That’s useful in Southampton, where sudden storms roll in off the Atlantic and you’re not always home to close a manual skylight. You get ventilation without the risk of rain damage.
Yes. Flat roof skylight installation uses a different approach than sloped roofs. We install curb-mounted systems that sit on a raised frame, which creates the drainage angle that flat roofs don’t naturally have. Without that curb, water pools around the skylight and eventually finds a way in.
The curb gets built to the right height for your roof’s membrane type—TPO, EPDM, or modified bitumen. Then we install multiple waterproof layers, seal the skylight to the curb, and make sure the flashing integrates with your existing roof system. It’s more involved than a sloped roof installation, but it’s the only way to prevent leaks on a flat surface.
Southampton has plenty of modern homes and additions with flat or low-slope roofs. We’ve handled dozens of these installations in Suffolk County. The key is matching the skylight system to your specific roof type and making sure drainage works correctly. Done right, a flat roof skylight performs just as well as one on a pitched roof—you just need someone who knows the difference in installation methods.
