Your home becomes a completely different place when natural light fills every corner. Dark hallways turn into welcoming spaces. Stuffy rooms get fresh air circulation that actually makes a difference.
You’ll notice the change in your energy bills too. Less artificial lighting means real savings, especially during those long winter months when every bit of natural light counts. The right skylights can cut your daytime lighting costs significantly.
But here’s what matters most: no water damage, no surprise leaks, no regrets. When skylights are installed correctly the first time, they enhance your home for decades without causing problems.
We’ve been helping Patchogue homeowners with skylight installations and repairs for over 20 years. We’re a family-owned business that understands how important your home is.
We’ve seen what happens when skylights are installed wrong. Water stains, damaged ceilings, frustrated homeowners. That’s why we became VELUX specialists and why we never cut corners on installation.
Patchogue’s coastal climate can be tough on roofs and skylights. The salt air, winter storms, and humidity changes require installers who understand local conditions. We’ve weathered every storm Long Island has thrown at us, and our installations have too.
We start with a thorough assessment of your roof and the spaces you want to brighten. Not every location works for every type of skylight, and we’ll tell you exactly what will work best and why.
Next comes precise measurement and planning. We map out the installation to avoid any structural issues and ensure proper flashing and sealing. This planning phase prevents the problems that lead to leaks later.
Installation day is when our experience shows. We cut the opening, install proper flashing systems, mount the skylight, and complete all interior finishing work. Everything gets cleaned up, and you’re left with beautiful natural light that works exactly as it should.

We exclusively install VELUX skylights because they’re engineered for climates like ours. These aren’t basic plastic bubbles that crack and leak. VELUX skylights feature tempered glass, advanced flashing systems, and components designed to last 15-20 years.
Patchogue homeowners especially benefit from VELUX’s “Fresh Air” models that automatically close when rain is detected. With our unpredictable weather patterns, this feature prevents water damage even when you’re not home.
Every VELUX installation comes with industry-leading warranties: 10 years on installation, 20 years on glass, and 10 years on the product itself. Plus, you may qualify for a 26% Federal Tax Credit, making quality skylights more affordable than you might expect.
Skylight installation in Patchogue typically ranges from $2,500 to $6,000, depending on the size, type, and complexity of your roof. VELUX skylights cost more upfront but last longer and come with better warranties than cheaper alternatives.
The total cost includes the skylight unit, professional installation, flashing, interior finishing, and cleanup. Vented skylights with remote controls cost more than fixed models, but they provide ventilation benefits that many Patchogue homeowners find valuable.
We provide free, detailed estimates that break down all costs so you know exactly what you’re paying for. No surprises, no hidden fees.
Most skylight leaks happen because of damaged flashing, improper installation, or age-related seal deterioration. The flashing is the metal barrier that directs water away from the skylight opening, and when it fails, water finds its way inside.
Poor installation is the biggest culprit. If the skylight isn’t properly sealed or if the flashing isn’t installed correctly, you’ll have problems from day one. That’s why we use VELUX’s complete flashing system and follow their exact installation procedures.
We also inspect the surrounding roof area before installation. Sometimes what looks like a skylight leak is actually coming from damaged shingles or other roof issues nearby. We fix everything so your new skylight performs perfectly.
Yes, we install skylights on flat roofs using specialized curb-mounted systems designed specifically for low-slope applications. Flat roof skylights require different installation techniques than pitched roof models, but they work extremely well when installed correctly.
VELUX makes excellent flat roof skylights that sit on a raised curb system. This design ensures proper drainage and prevents the pooling water issues that can cause problems with cheaper flat roof skylights.
The installation process involves building a proper curb, installing multiple layers of waterproof membranes, and ensuring the skylight sits at the correct angle for drainage. It’s more complex than pitched roof installation, but our experience with Patchogue’s variety of roof styles means we handle both seamlessly.
VELUX skylights are designed to last 15-20 years with proper installation and minimal maintenance. The tempered glass and aluminum frames handle Long Island’s weather extremes much better than older acrylic or plastic skylights that often need replacement after 5-10 years.
Our coastal climate with salt air, winter storms, and summer heat can be tough on building materials. VELUX engineers their products specifically for harsh environments, and their testing includes exposure to heavy rainfall, strong winds, and temperature extremes.
The key to longevity is professional installation with proper flashing and sealing. We’ve installed VELUX skylights that are still performing perfectly after 15+ years because they were installed right the first time.
We handle both skylight repairs and new installations. Many skylight problems can be fixed affordably, especially if the issue is damaged flashing, worn seals, or minor glass problems. Repairs typically cost $450-$1,000 depending on what needs fixing.
However, some skylights are beyond repair. Cracked glass, severely damaged frames, or units that have leaked extensively often need complete replacement. We’ll give you an honest assessment of whether repair or replacement makes more financial sense.
For older plastic or acrylic skylights that are fogging, cracking, or leaking regularly, replacement with a quality VELUX unit usually provides better long-term value than repeated repairs.
Our complete installation service includes everything from initial assessment to final cleanup. We handle the roof opening, structural framing if needed, VELUX skylight installation, complete flashing system, interior finishing, and thorough cleanup.
The interior work includes drywall repair, painting, and trim installation so your new skylight looks like it was always part of your home. We also remove and dispose of all debris, so you don’t have to deal with any mess.
Every installation comes with our workmanship warranty plus VELUX’s product warranties. We also provide detailed care instructions and are available for any questions after installation. Our job isn’t finished until you’re completely satisfied with your new skylight.
