Hear From Our Clients
Your ceiling stays dry when it rains. That’s the first thing you’ll notice.
No more buckets in the hallway. No more stains spreading across your drywall. No more wondering if this storm is going to be the one that finally ruins your insulation or causes mold in your attic.
The second thing? Your energy bills drop. Modern VELUX skylights with double-pane glass stop heat from escaping in winter and keep your home cooler in summer. Most Springs homeowners see $10-15 less on their monthly electric bill after switching from older plastic skylights to energy-efficient models.
And the light. You’ll actually want to spend time in rooms that used to feel dark and cramped. A properly installed skylight gives you up to five times more natural light than a standard window of the same size. That’s not marketing talk—it’s physics.
You’re not just fixing a problem. You’re making your home more comfortable, more valuable, and less expensive to maintain.
We handle residential skylight replacement across Suffolk County. We’re licensed, insured, and we live here too.
That matters because we know what Springs weather does to roofs. The freeze-thaw cycles, the coastal salt air, the 27-30 inches of snow we get most winters—it all takes a toll on skylight seals and flashing. We’ve seen what happens when skylights aren’t installed correctly, and we’ve fixed plenty of those jobs.
Our crews use the same VELUX skylights and installation methods whether we’re working in Springs, East Hampton, or anywhere else in Suffolk County. You get upfront pricing, no surprises, and a team that shows up when we say we will. We don’t subcontract the work. Every installer works directly for us.
First, we come out to look at your current skylight. We’ll check for water damage around the frame, measure the opening, and look at your roof structure. This usually takes 20-30 minutes. You’ll get a written estimate before we do anything else.
Once you approve the estimate, we schedule the installation. Most home skylight replacement jobs take one day. We remove your old skylight, inspect the roof deck for any rot or damage, and install the new unit with proper flashing and weatherproofing. If we find structural issues, we’ll talk to you before moving forward.
We test everything before we leave. That means running water over the flashing to make sure there are no leaks. We clean up the work area, haul away your old skylight, and walk you through the finished installation.
You get documentation of the work, warranty information for your new skylight, and a phone number to call if you ever have questions. The whole process is straightforward because we’ve done it hundreds of times.
Ready to get started?
You’re getting a complete roof skylight replacement, not just a new skylight dropped into your old opening. That means new flashing, new underlayment, and proper integration with your existing roofing material.
We use VELUX skylights because they’re engineered for climates like ours. Springs gets real weather—heavy snow, ice, coastal storms—and these units are built to handle it. The double-pane glass reduces heat loss, and the frames are designed to shed water away from the opening.
Every installation includes a full inspection of the roof deck and surrounding structure. If your old skylight has been leaking, there’s a good chance the wood underneath needs attention. We’ll replace any damaged decking or framing as part of the job.
You also get a leak-free guarantee. If your new skylight leaks because of our installation, we come back and fix it at no charge. We’re not interested in doing the job twice, so we do it right the first time.
Most residential skylight replacement projects in Springs run between $1,500 and $3,500. That’s for a standard-size skylight with professional installation, new flashing, and a quality VELUX unit.
The price goes up if we find rot in your roof deck or if you’re replacing a larger skylight. It goes down if you’re replacing multiple skylights at once, since we’re already set up on your roof. Custom sizes or specialty glass will also affect the final number.
We give you an exact price after we look at your current setup. No ballpark estimates, no “starting at” pricing. You’ll know what you’re paying before we start the work.
Most skylight replacements take one full day. We typically start in the morning and finish by late afternoon.
The timeline can stretch to two days if we need to replace damaged roof decking or if weather doesn’t cooperate. We’re not going to leave your roof open overnight, so if we can’t finish in one day, we’ll make sure everything is sealed and weatherproof before we leave.
You’ll have access to your home the whole time. We work from the roof, so you don’t need to clear out rooms or move furniture. The only disruption is some noise during removal and installation.
If the leak is coming from your skylight, yes. A proper skylight replacement with new flashing and correct installation will stop water from getting into your home.
But here’s the thing: not every ceiling leak near a skylight is actually caused by the skylight. Sometimes it’s a roof issue, a problem with your chimney flashing, or condensation in your attic. When we come out for the initial inspection, we’ll figure out where the water is actually coming from.
If your skylight is the problem, replacing it fixes the leak. If it’s something else, we’ll tell you what needs to happen. We’re not going to sell you a new skylight if that’s not what’s causing the issue.
Usually, yes. Suffolk County requires permits for most roof work, including skylight replacement. The permit process protects you by ensuring the work meets local building codes.
We handle the permit application as part of our service. You don’t need to go to the building department or deal with paperwork. We pull the permit, schedule the required inspections, and make sure everything is documented correctly.
The permit adds a few days to the timeline because we need approval before we start work. But it’s worth it. If you ever sell your home, you’ll have proof that the work was done legally and inspected by the town.
Repair makes sense if your skylight is less than 10 years old and the problem is minor—maybe a small crack in the glass or a loose piece of flashing. Those fixes are quick and relatively inexpensive.
Replacement makes sense if your skylight is older, if it’s leaking in multiple spots, or if the frame is damaged. Once a skylight starts failing, repairs usually just buy you a year or two before the next problem shows up. You end up spending more on multiple repair calls than you would have spent on one replacement.
If your skylight is 15+ years old and giving you problems, replacement is almost always the better move. You get a new warranty, better energy efficiency, and you’re done dealing with it for the next 20 years.
For Springs homes, yes. VELUX skylights are engineered for climates with real weather, and that matters here.
The frames are built to handle freeze-thaw cycles without warping. The seals are designed to stay flexible in cold temperatures. The glass is rated to handle snow load and won’t yellow or cloud over time like cheaper plastic skylights do.
You’re also getting better energy efficiency. VELUX units with double-pane glass can be up to 35% more efficient than older skylights, which means lower heating and cooling costs. Over the life of the skylight, that adds up to real money—usually $10-15 per month in savings.
The warranty is better too. VELUX backs their products with comprehensive coverage, and replacement parts are easy to get if you ever need them. With off-brand skylights, you’re often on your own after a few years.
