Your skylight installation includes VELUX’s industry-leading products with 10-year installation warranties and 20-year glass coverage. These aren’t the cheap plastic domes that crack and leak—you’re getting energy-efficient, tempered glass skylights designed for Long Island’s weather.
University Gardens homes benefit from our local expertise. We understand how coastal humidity affects skylight performance and use installation techniques that account for seasonal temperature changes. Your skylights will handle everything from summer heat to winter freeze-thaw cycles.
Solar-powered “Fresh Air” skylights give you natural ventilation that improves air quality while reducing HVAC costs. Built-in rain sensors automatically close your skylights when weather hits, and ENERGY STAR certification means real energy savings that add up over time.
Skylight installation in University Gardens typically ranges from $1,000 to $3,500 per unit, depending on size, type, and roof complexity. Fixed skylights cost less than venting models, and solar-powered units are at the higher end but offer the most features.
The total includes the VELUX skylight, professional installation, proper flashing, and our warranty coverage. We provide free estimates so you know exactly what to expect—no surprise charges or hidden fees that some contractors spring on you later.
Most University Gardens homeowners find the investment pays for itself through lower energy bills and increased home value. Quality installation costs more upfront but saves you thousands in future repairs and energy costs.
Skylight leaks almost always come from poor installation, not the skylight itself. We use VELUX’s proven flashing system and installation techniques that create a watertight seal designed to last decades without problems.
Our installation process includes multiple layers of protection: proper roof deck preparation, precision flashing installation, and weatherproof sealing that accounts for thermal expansion. We’ve been doing this for 20 years in University Gardens and surrounding areas—we know what works.
VELUX backs their products with a “No Leak” warranty, and we stand behind our installation work. If water gets in, we fix it at no cost to you. That’s the difference between professional installation and the shortcuts that cause problems.
Yes, we install skylights on flat and low-slope roofs using curb-mounted systems designed specifically for these applications. Flat roof skylights require different installation techniques and flashing details than standard sloped installations.
University Gardens has many homes with flat or low-slope sections where traditional skylights won’t work. We use specialized mounting systems that create the proper slope for water drainage while maintaining the weatherproof seal that prevents leaks.
The installation takes longer on flat roofs because we build a custom curb and use modified flashing systems, but the results are just as reliable as sloped installations. Your flat roof skylight will provide the same natural light and energy benefits without water intrusion issues.
Most single skylight installations take 4-6 hours from start to finish. Multiple skylights or complex roof situations may require a full day, but we’ll give you an accurate timeline during your free estimate.
We work efficiently to minimize disruption to your University Gardens home. The actual roof cutting and skylight installation happens quickly—most of the time is spent on proper preparation and cleanup to protect your belongings and leave everything spotless.
Weather can affect scheduling, especially during Long Island’s winter months. We don’t rush installations in poor conditions because proper sealing requires dry conditions. It’s better to wait for the right weather than deal with leak problems later.
VELUX skylights are ENERGY STAR certified and can significantly reduce your lighting and heating costs. Natural light eliminates the need for artificial lighting during daylight hours, and solar heat gain helps warm your home in cooler months.
University Gardens homeowners typically see 15-25% reductions in lighting costs and noticeable decreases in heating bills during fall and spring. Venting skylights also reduce cooling costs by naturally exhausting hot air instead of running your AC constantly.
The energy savings depend on skylight placement and your home’s current efficiency, but most customers recoup their investment within 5-7 years through lower utility bills. After that, it’s pure savings plus the added comfort and home value benefits.
Fixed skylights provide natural light only—they don’t open for ventilation. They’re perfect for hallways, stairwells, and spaces where you want maximum light at the lowest cost. Venting skylights open and close to provide both light and fresh air circulation.
Venting skylights work best in kitchens, bathrooms, and living areas where air quality matters. They help remove cooking odors, bathroom humidity, and stale air while bringing in fresh outdoor air. Solar-powered models open and close automatically with built-in rain sensors.
University Gardens homes benefit most from venting skylights in high-humidity areas like bathrooms and kitchens. The natural ventilation prevents moisture problems that can lead to mold and mildew issues common in Long Island’s coastal climate.
