You get consistent natural light that cuts your electricity usage during daylight hours. Your home feels more open and spacious without the claustrophobic feeling of relying on artificial lighting all day.
Energy costs drop when you’re not running lights constantly. Your mood improves with regular exposure to natural sunlight, especially during those long winter months on Long Island.
Water damage becomes a non-issue when skylights are installed correctly with proper flashing and weatherproofing. No more ceiling stains, no more emergency repairs, no more stress about the next heavy rainstorm.
We’ve been solving skylight problems for Sea Cliff homeowners since 2001. We’ve seen every type of leak, condensation issue, and installation mistake that can happen with skylights.
Our team understands Sea Cliff’s unique weather patterns and how they affect skylight performance. From the coastal humidity to the temperature swings, we know what it takes to keep your skylights functioning properly year after year.
We’re not the cheapest option, and that’s intentional. You’re investing in proper installation, quality materials, and the kind of workmanship that prevents those middle-of-the-night emergency calls when storms hit.
First, we assess your roof structure and determine the optimal placement for maximum light while maintaining structural integrity. We measure everything twice and account for your home’s specific architecture.
Next, we carefully cut the roof opening and install proper structural support. The flashing goes in with multiple layers of waterproofing – this is where most contractors cut corners and where most leaks start.
Finally, we install the skylight unit with manufacturer-specified sealants and test everything under simulated weather conditions. You get a detailed walkthrough of maintenance requirements and our contact information for any future concerns.

We handle everything from basic leak repairs to complete skylight replacements. Velux skylights, custom installations, sun tunnels, and flat roof applications – we’ve installed them all in Sea Cliff homes.
Sea Cliff’s coastal location creates specific challenges for skylights. Salt air accelerates corrosion of flashing materials, and the temperature swings between seasons cause expansion and contraction that can compromise seals.
Our service includes emergency leak repairs available 24/7, routine maintenance inspections, and upgrades to improve energy efficiency. We stock common replacement parts and can source specialty components for older or custom skylight installations.
Skylight installation in Sea Cliff typically ranges from $1,500 to $3,500 depending on the size, type, and complexity of the installation. Fixed skylights are less expensive than venting models, and standard sizes cost less than custom configurations.
The price includes the skylight unit, proper flashing materials, structural modifications if needed, and professional installation with our leak-free guarantee. We provide detailed written estimates that break down all costs upfront.
Emergency repairs and simple resealing jobs usually run $300 to $800, while complete skylight replacement projects fall in the $2,000 to $4,000 range for most Sea Cliff homes.
Most skylight leaks happen because of improper flashing installation or deteriorated seals around the skylight frame. The flashing is the metal barrier that directs water away from the skylight opening, and it’s the most critical part of the installation.
We prevent leaks by using multiple layers of waterproofing, including ice and water shield, step flashing, and high-quality sealants rated for Long Island’s climate. Every penetration gets sealed properly, and we test the installation before considering the job complete.
Regular maintenance also prevents leaks. We recommend annual inspections to check seals, clear debris from drainage channels, and catch small problems before they become expensive repairs.
For Sea Cliff’s coastal climate, we recommend double-pane skylights with Low-E coatings and argon gas fills. These provide excellent insulation while preventing condensation problems that plague single-pane units.
Velux skylights perform exceptionally well here because they’re engineered for varying weather conditions. Their flashing systems are designed to handle thermal expansion and contraction without compromising the seal.
Fixed skylights work well for consistent lighting, while venting skylights help with humidity control during summer months. Sun tunnels are perfect for interior spaces like hallways and bathrooms where traditional skylights aren’t feasible.
Quality skylights properly installed typically last 15 to 20 years in Long Island’s climate. The glass and frame usually outlast the seals and flashing, which may need attention every 10 to 12 years depending on exposure.
Sea Cliff’s coastal environment is tougher on skylights than inland locations. Salt air, temperature swings, and higher humidity levels accelerate wear on sealing materials and metal components.
We use marine-grade sealants and corrosion-resistant flashing materials specifically because of these conditions. Regular maintenance extends skylight life significantly and prevents premature replacement costs.
Most skylight problems can be repaired if caught early. Leaking seals, damaged flashing, and condensation issues are usually fixable without replacing the entire unit.
We can replace glass panes, rebuild flashing systems, and upgrade older skylights with modern sealing technology. Sometimes adding proper insulation or ventilation solves performance problems without major reconstruction.
Complete replacement makes sense when the skylight frame is damaged, when energy efficiency is poor, or when repair costs approach 60% of replacement cost. We’ll give you honest recommendations based on your specific situation.
Yes, we provide 24/7 emergency skylight repair throughout Sea Cliff and Nassau County. Storm damage, sudden leaks, and weather-related failures can’t wait for regular business hours.
