Hear from Our Customers
Your North Woodmere home deserves the natural light that makes every room feel larger, brighter, and more welcoming. When we install your skylights, you’re not just getting more light—you’re cutting electricity costs, boosting your property value, and creating the kind of spaces your family actually wants to spend time in.
No more squinting in dim kitchens or relying on lamps during the day. Quality skylights bring the outdoors in while keeping energy costs down. Your home becomes the bright, comfortable sanctuary it was meant to be.
The difference shows up immediately in your daily life and long-term in your utility bills. That’s what happens when skylights are installed right the first time.
We’ve been serving North Woodmere homeowners for years, and we understand what matters to families in this community. Your home is likely one of those classic Long Island properties built in the 50s and 60s—solid construction, but sometimes lacking the natural light that makes modern living comfortable.
We’ve worked on hundreds of homes just like yours throughout Nassau County. We know the local building requirements, understand the unique challenges of older rooflines, and we’ve earned our reputation by doing the job right the first time.

North Woodmere homes often benefit from strategic skylight placement in kitchens, bathrooms, and hallways where natural light makes the biggest difference. We work with all the major brands and can recommend the best options for your specific situation and budget.
Our service includes proper flashing installation, weatherproofing, and interior finishing work. We don’t just install the skylight—we make sure it integrates seamlessly with your home’s existing systems and looks like it was always meant to be there.
Skylight installation costs in North Woodmere typically range from $1,500 to $4,000 per skylight, depending on the size, type, and complexity of the installation. Basic fixed skylights are on the lower end, while larger vented skylights or custom installations cost more.
The total investment includes the skylight unit, professional installation, proper flashing, interior finishing, and any necessary permits. We provide detailed written estimates that break down all costs upfront, so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
Most homeowners find that quality skylights pay for themselves over time through reduced electricity costs and increased home value. We offer financing options to make the investment more manageable for your budget.
Most skylight leaks happen because of improper flashing installation or deteriorated seals around the frame. The flashing is the metal barrier that connects your skylight to the roof—if it’s not installed correctly or gets damaged over time, water finds its way in.
We prevent leaks by using proper installation techniques, high-quality flashing materials, and multiple layers of weatherproofing. Our team is trained in the specific requirements for different roof types and skylight brands, which is crucial for long-term performance.
Regular maintenance also helps prevent problems. We recommend annual inspections to check seals and flashing, especially after severe weather. When installed and maintained properly, quality skylights should remain leak-free for decades.
Yes, we specialize in flat roof skylight installations using curb-mounted systems designed specifically for low-slope and flat roofs. These installations require different techniques and materials compared to sloped roof skylights, but they’re completely feasible with the right expertise.
Flat roof skylights often use a raised curb system that elevates the skylight above the roof surface, ensuring proper drainage and weatherproofing. We work with manufacturers like VELUX that make specialized flat roof products designed for Long Island’s climate conditions.
The key is proper drainage and flashing details around the curb. Our team has extensive experience with flat roof installations and can recommend the best solutions for your specific roof type and drainage requirements.
Quality skylights typically last 20-30 years with proper installation and maintenance. The glass itself can last much longer, but seals, flashing, and operating mechanisms may need attention over time. Higher-end skylights like VELUX often come with longer manufacturer warranties.
We provide comprehensive warranties that cover both materials and labor. Manufacturer warranties on skylights typically range from 10-20 years on the glass and frame, with shorter coverage on seals and moving parts. Our installation warranty covers workmanship for the first several years.
The key to longevity is proper installation from the start. Skylights that are installed correctly with quality materials and proper flashing should provide decades of trouble-free service. We stand behind our work and will address any installation-related issues promptly.
Yes, skylight installation in North Woodmere typically requires building permits since you’re making structural changes to your roof. The permit process ensures that the work meets local building codes and safety requirements.
We handle all permit applications and inspections as part of our service. Our team is familiar with Nassau County building requirements and maintains relationships with local building departments to streamline the process. This saves you time and ensures everything is done properly.
The permit process usually takes 1-2 weeks, and we schedule the installation once all approvals are in place. Having proper permits also protects you if you ever sell your home—buyers and inspectors will see that the work was done legally and to code.
Many skylight problems can be repaired without full replacement, depending on the age and condition of the unit. Common repairs include replacing seals, fixing flashing issues, replacing glass panels, or updating operating mechanisms on vented skylights.
We start with a thorough inspection to determine whether repair or replacement makes more sense. If the frame is sound and the skylight is relatively new, repair is often the most cost-effective option. Older skylights or those with structural damage usually need replacement.
Our repair services include everything from simple seal replacement to complete flashing overhauls. We work with all major skylight brands and can source replacement parts for most units. If repair isn’t viable, we’ll explain why and provide options for replacement that fit your budget and needs.
