Hear From Our Clients
You know that feeling when you walk into a room flooded with natural light? That’s what your home should feel like every day. Not the frustration of buckets catching drips or rooms that stay dark even at noon.
When we replace your skylight, you get more than just a window in your roof. You get natural light that reduces your electric bill, eliminates those depressing dark corners, and makes your whole house feel bigger and brighter.
The difference between a properly installed skylight and the leaky mess you’re dealing with now? It’s night and day. Literally.
We’ve been serving West Bay Shore and Suffolk County for over 15 years. We’ve seen every skylight problem you can imagine – and fixed them all.
What makes us different? We don’t just slap in a new skylight and hope for the best. We understand how Long Island weather affects your roof, what materials actually hold up here, and how to install skylights that won’t give you problems down the road.
Our customers come back to us again and again – not because their skylights failed, but because they trust us with their next project. That’s the kind of reputation you build when you do the job right the first time.
First, we come out and actually look at your skylight – not just the obvious problem, but what’s causing it. Most leaks aren’t really skylight problems. They’re installation problems.
We remove your old skylight carefully, inspect the roof opening and framing, and fix any damage we find. Then we install your new skylight with proper flashing, sealing, and weatherproofing that’s designed for Suffolk County weather.
The whole process typically takes one day. We clean up completely when we’re done, and you’re left with a skylight that brings in beautiful natural light without the water damage risk. No more buckets, no more stained ceilings, no more wondering when the next leak will start.

We specialize in VELUX skylights because they’re simply the best. These aren’t the cheap plastic domes that crack and leak after a few years. VELUX skylights are built to handle Long Island weather – the ice, the wind, the summer heat, all of it.
Your new skylight comes with energy-efficient glass that keeps your home comfortable year-round. Many of our West Bay Shore customers are surprised how much their electric bills drop once they’re not running lights all day in previously dark rooms.
We handle everything: permits, installation, cleanup, and a warranty that actually means something. You’re not just getting a skylight – you’re getting peace of mind that this problem is solved for good.
Skylight replacement in West Bay Shore typically ranges from $2,000 to $5,300, depending on the size and type of skylight you choose. VELUX fixed skylights start around $2,000-$3,600, while vented or solar-powered models can run $3,350-$5,250.
The exact cost depends on your roof’s accessibility, the condition of the existing opening, and whether any structural repairs are needed. We provide free estimates so you know exactly what to expect before we start any work.
Most skylight replacements are completed in one day. We arrive in the morning, carefully remove your old skylight, inspect and repair the roof opening if needed, install your new skylight with proper flashing and sealing, and clean up completely.
Weather can sometimes extend the timeline, but we’ll never leave your roof open overnight. If conditions aren’t right for a quality installation, we’ll reschedule rather than rush the job and compromise the results.
The key is proper preparation and having the right materials on site before we start.
When installed correctly, yes. Most skylight leaks aren’t actually skylight problems – they’re installation problems. Poor flashing, inadequate sealing, or shortcuts during the original installation are usually the real culprits.
We address the root cause, not just the symptoms. This means proper flashing that’s integrated with your roof system, high-quality sealants that hold up to Suffolk County weather, and installation techniques that prevent future problems.
VELUX skylights, when properly installed, are designed to be leak-free for decades. We back our installation work because we’re confident in our methods.
If you’re replacing an existing skylight with the same size, permits usually aren’t required. However, if you’re changing the size or adding a new skylight, West Bay Shore typically requires a building permit.
We handle all permit requirements for you. Our team knows local codes and what’s needed for each type of installation. You don’t have to worry about paperwork or dealing with the building department.
We’ll let you know upfront if permits are needed for your specific project and factor any permit costs into your estimate.
VELUX skylights are engineered for longevity and performance, while cheaper options often fail within a few years. VELUX uses multi-layered tempered glass, superior flashing systems, and weather seals that actually hold up to Long Island’s climate extremes.
Cheaper skylights might save you money upfront, but they typically cost more long-term due to leaks, energy loss, and premature replacement needs. We’ve replaced plenty of failed “bargain” skylights that ended up causing thousands in water damage.
VELUX also offers features like solar-powered blinds, rain sensors, and smart home integration that you won’t find in budget options. When you’re cutting a hole in your roof, quality matters.
Yes, we handle skylights in challenging locations regularly. Steep roofs, high ceilings, and tight spaces are part of the job. We have the proper equipment and safety training to work safely in any situation.
Hard-to-reach installations do require more time and specialized equipment, which can affect the cost. We’ll assess your specific situation during our free estimate and explain any additional considerations.
Our team has 15+ years of experience with all types of roof configurations in Suffolk County. We’ve yet to encounter a skylight location we couldn’t handle safely and professionally.
