No more water stains creeping across your ceiling every time it rains. Your energy bills drop because modern insulated glass actually keeps heat where it belongs. Rooms get brighter with clear glass that lets real light through instead of that dim, fogged mess you’ve been dealing with.
You stop worrying every time storm clouds roll in. Professional skylight replacement in West Babylon means proper flashing, weatherproof sealing, and materials that handle Suffolk County’s harsh weather for decades.
Your home value goes up. Insurance headaches go away. You get back to enjoying natural light instead of managing water damage.
We’ve spent over a decade handling skylight replacement across Suffolk County. We know how nor’easters and salt air destroy inferior work, which is why we use Velux skylights and proper installation techniques designed for West Babylon’s demanding climate.
Every crew member is licensed, insured, and trained on the flashing techniques that actually prevent leaks. We live here too, so our work quality reflects on us in the community.
When other contractors leave you with recurring problems, we fix them right the first time with materials and methods that last decades, not just until the next storm.
We start with a free inspection to assess your current skylight and roof condition. Most single skylight replacements in West Babylon take 4-6 hours, and we typically complete the work in one day, weather permitting.
First, we protect your home’s interior with tarps and carefully remove the old skylight. We inspect and repair any roof damage, then install new flashing systems that work with your roof structure. The new Velux skylight goes in with proper waterproof sealing and integrated flashing.
Flat roof installations take longer due to additional waterproofing steps, but we use curb-mounted systems with multiple layers of waterproof membrane and proper drainage. You get upfront pricing with no hidden fees, and we clean up completely when finished.

Not all skylights handle Suffolk County’s freeze-thaw cycles and coastal weather. We install Velux skylights because they’re engineered specifically for our climate and backed by real warranties that matter when problems arise.
Their double-pane glass reduces heat loss in winter and keeps homes cooler in summer, which directly impacts your energy bills. The integrated flashing systems work with your roof instead of fighting against it, preventing the water infiltration that destroys other brands.
West Babylon homes face unique challenges from salt air and severe weather patterns. Velux skylights come with solar-powered models that open automatically for ventilation and close when rain starts. After 20 years of installations, we’ve seen which brands hold up and which ones fail when you need them most.
Skylight replacement costs in West Babylon typically range from $800 to $2,500 per skylight including professional installation. Velux skylights with proper installation usually cost 3-4 times the price of the unit alone, but this includes proper flashing, waterproofing, and our leak-free guarantee.
The final cost depends on your skylight size, roof type, and access complexity. Flat roof installations cost more due to additional waterproofing requirements, while standard pitched roof replacements are more straightforward.
We provide upfront pricing with no hidden fees before starting work, and financing options are available for qualified West Babylon homeowners. The investment pays for itself through lower energy bills and avoided water damage repairs.
Most single skylight replacements in West Babylon take 4-6 hours, depending on your roof type and access. We typically complete the work in one day, weather permitting, so you’re not dealing with an open roof overnight.
Flat roof installations may take longer due to additional waterproofing steps and the curb-mounted systems we use for proper drainage. Multiple skylight replacements obviously extend the timeline, but we work efficiently to minimize disruption to your daily routine.
We always protect your home’s interior with tarps during the work and coordinate timing around Suffolk County’s unpredictable weather patterns. Emergency repairs can often be completed the same day you call.
Most skylight leaks in Suffolk County happen because of improper flashing installation or degraded sealants, not the skylight itself. Our freeze-thaw cycles are particularly brutal – water gets into small gaps, freezes, expands, and creates larger openings that let more water in.
Many contractors don’t understand how to properly integrate flashing with Suffolk County’s roof systems. They use generic techniques that work elsewhere but fail when hit with nor’easters and coastal weather patterns that drive water horizontally.
Salt air also accelerates the breakdown of inferior sealants and flashing materials. We use marine-grade materials and Velux’s integrated flashing systems that are designed specifically for harsh coastal climates like ours.
It depends on your skylight’s age and condition. If the frame is structurally sound and the flashing isn’t compromised, glass replacement might be possible for newer units under 10 years old.
However, most skylights over 15 years old in West Babylon benefit from complete replacement because the seals, hardware, and flashing typically need updating too. Suffolk County’s harsh weather accelerates wear on all skylight components, not just the glass.
We’ll assess your specific situation during our free inspection and recommend the most cost-effective solution that actually solves the problem long-term. Sometimes spending a bit more upfront saves thousands in recurring repairs and water damage.
Yes, modern Velux skylights significantly improve energy efficiency compared to older units. Their double-pane glass with low-E coatings reduces heat loss in winter and blocks excessive heat gain in summer, which directly lowers your energy bills.
The integrated flashing and proper sealing eliminate air leaks that force your HVAC system to work harder. Many West Babylon homeowners see noticeable drops in heating and cooling costs after skylight replacement, especially if their old units were single-pane or poorly sealed.
Solar-powered models add ventilation benefits that reduce cooling costs in summer. The key is professional installation with proper flashing – even the best skylight won’t save energy if it’s not sealed correctly to your roof system.
Every skylight replacement we complete in West Babylon comes with our leak-free guarantee plus the manufacturer’s warranty on Velux products. Velux skylights include substantial warranties on glass, frame, and mechanical components that vary by model.
Our installation warranty covers workmanship and proper integration with your roof system. If leaks develop due to our installation methods, we return to fix the problem at no charge. This is crucial because most skylight failures are installation-related, not product defects.
We also provide clear documentation of all materials used and installation techniques for insurance purposes. West Babylon homeowners get written warranties they can actually use when problems arise, not vague promises that disappear when you need help.
