We’ve been serving West Hills homeowners for over 10 years. We’re the local company that shows up when we say we will and finishes what we promise.
Our team knows the specific challenges of Long Island weather. Heavy rains, snow loads, temperature swings – we’ve seen how they affect skylights in homes just like yours.
We’re fully licensed and insured, with thousands of satisfied customers across Nassau and Suffolk counties. When you’re investing in your $737,000+ home, you want contractors who understand the value of doing it right.
First, we assess your current skylight and roof structure. We measure everything precisely and check for any underlying issues that need addressing before installation.
Next, we carefully remove the old skylight, protecting your home’s interior throughout the process. We inspect the roof opening, make any necessary structural adjustments, and ensure proper drainage.
Then we install your new skylight with precision flashing and weatherproof sealing. We use tempered glass and quality materials designed for Long Island’s climate. Every installation includes thorough testing to guarantee it’s completely leak-free before we consider the job done.

Your skylight replacement includes professional-grade materials built for Long Island homes. We work with energy-efficient options that meet ENERGY STAR guidelines, reducing your utility costs from day one.
West Hills homes face unique challenges – from coastal humidity to winter freeze-thaw cycles. That’s why we use tempered glass with precision flashing systems designed specifically for our climate conditions.
Every installation comes with comprehensive warranties – up to 10 years on labor and up to 30 years on materials. We also handle all necessary permits and ensure your project meets local building codes. You get a complete solution, not just a product installation.
Most skylight replacements in West Hills take one full day to complete. However, the timeline depends on your specific situation – roof complexity, weather conditions, and whether any structural work is needed.
We always start with a thorough assessment to give you an accurate timeframe. If we discover issues like roof damage during removal, we’ll discuss options before proceeding. Our goal is to minimize disruption to your daily routine while ensuring the work is done properly.
Weather can affect scheduling, especially during Long Island’s winter months. We’ll work with you to find the best window for your project and keep you updated on any changes.
The most common cause is improper installation, especially around the flashing where the skylight meets your roof. Many contractors rush this critical step, leading to problems down the road.
Long Island’s weather is particularly tough on skylights. Freeze-thaw cycles can cause materials to expand and contract, breaking seals over time. Heavy rains and snow loads put additional stress on poorly installed units.
Age is another factor. Older skylights often use materials that weren’t designed for our climate conditions. The seals deteriorate, glass can crack from temperature changes, and the flashing corrodes. That’s why replacement often makes more sense than attempting repairs on older units.
Absolutely, especially given West Hills’ energy costs and climate. Energy-efficient skylights can significantly reduce your electric bill by providing natural light during the day and better insulation year-round.
Modern skylights with Low-E glass and proper insulation prevent heat loss in winter and heat gain in summer. This means your HVAC system works less to maintain comfortable temperatures. Many homeowners see noticeable reductions in their utility bills within the first few months.
For West Hills homes, which average over $700,000 in value, energy-efficient upgrades also protect your investment. They’re features that appeal to future buyers and can increase your home’s resale value.
It depends on the age and condition of your existing skylight frame. If the frame is structurally sound and the flashing is in good condition, sometimes we can replace just the glass.
However, in most cases where the glass has failed, there are usually underlying issues with seals, flashing, or the frame itself. Replacing just the glass often leads to future problems because the root cause hasn’t been addressed.
We’ll give you an honest assessment during our inspection. If a partial replacement makes sense and will provide long-term reliability, we’ll recommend that option. But we won’t suggest a band-aid solution that’ll cause problems later. Complete replacement often provides better value and peace of mind.
Yes, we handle all necessary permits for skylight replacement in West Hills. We’re familiar with local building codes and requirements, so you don’t have to navigate that process yourself.
Most skylight replacements require permits, especially if we’re changing the size or making structural modifications. We submit all paperwork, coordinate inspections, and ensure everything meets local codes before considering the project complete.
This is included in our service – you won’t see surprise permit fees or have to deal with town offices yourself. We take care of the administrative side so you can focus on enjoying your new skylight.
We provide comprehensive warranties that give you real protection. Labor is covered for up to 10 years, and materials come with manufacturer warranties up to 30 years, depending on the specific products chosen.
Our warranty covers installation defects, leaks, and workmanship issues. If something goes wrong due to our installation, we come back and fix it at no charge. We also maintain insurance specifically for warranty work, so you’re protected even years down the road.
We stand behind our work because we’ve been serving Long Island homeowners for over 10 years. Our reputation depends on satisfied customers, not one-time sales. That’s why we use quality materials and take the time to install them properly from the start.
