Your home deserves more than dim rooms and high electric bills. Quality skylights flood your space with natural light, cut energy costs, and create the bright, welcoming atmosphere you’ve been missing.
Proper installation means no leaks, no callbacks, no headaches. Just years of beautiful daylight streaming into spaces that used to feel cramped and dark. The difference is immediate – rooms feel larger, colors look richer, and you’ll find yourself using less artificial lighting during the day.
We’ve been installing and repairing skylights in Old Mastic since 2001. We’re VELUX specialists who understand exactly what works in Long Island’s climate and the housing styles common in your neighborhood.
Most homes in Old Mastic were built in the 1970s, and we know these roofs inside and out. We’ve seen every type of skylight problem and fixed them all properly, the first time. As a family-owned business, we stake our reputation on every installation.
Licensed, bonded, and insured, we’re the contractors your neighbors trust when they need skylights done right.
First, we inspect your roof structure and discuss exactly where you want more light. We measure carefully and explain your options – VELUX fixed, vented, or sun tunnel installation depending on your needs and budget.
Next, we cut the opening with precision, install proper flashing, and mount your skylight with the waterproof sealing techniques that prevent leaks. Every step follows VELUX certification standards, whether you’re getting custom skylight fitting or standard installations.
Finally, we clean up completely and walk through everything with you. You’ll know exactly how your new skylight operates and what to expect for maintenance.

Every skylight installation includes VELUX products designed for Long Island weather. These aren’t cheap plastic domes – they’re engineered glass units built to last twenty to thirty years without problems.
Old Mastic homes benefit especially from skylights because many have smaller windows typical of 1970s construction. Adding natural light transforms these spaces without expensive renovations. We also handle flat roof skylights for ranch-style homes and sun tunnel installation for areas where traditional skylights won’t work.
We handle all permits, use proper ice and water shield for our climate, and guarantee leak-free performance. Your investment includes professional installation, manufacturer warranties, and our commitment to quality that’s kept us in business for over two decades.
Skylight installation costs vary based on size, type, and roof complexity, but most homeowners in Old Mastic invest between $800-$2,500 per skylight including professional installation. VELUX fixed skylights start around $800 installed, while vented models with remote controls run $1,500-$2,500.
The investment pays back through reduced electric bills and increased home value. Quality installation prevents the expensive water damage repairs that cheap installations often cause. We provide free estimates that break down exactly what you’re getting, so there are no surprises when the work is done.
Skylight leaks almost always result from improper installation, not the skylight itself. Three out of four leaks we repair are caused by contractors who don’t understand proper skylight flashing repair techniques or use inferior materials.
We’re VELUX-certified specialists who follow manufacturer installation standards exactly. Every skylight gets proper ice and water shield, step flashing, and the sealing techniques that work in Long Island’s weather conditions. Our installations come with both manufacturer and workmanship warranties.
We’ve been doing this for twenty-two years in Old Mastic – if our methods didn’t work, we wouldn’t still be here.
VELUX skylights use tempered glass instead of plastic, have better sealing systems, and are engineered for our climate. Cheap plastic skylights yellow, crack, and leak within a few years.
VELUX units include proper flashing kits designed specifically for each installation. Generic skylights often require improvised flashing that fails over time. The glass is also low-E coated to prevent heat gain in summer and heat loss in winter.
Most importantly, VELUX provides technical support and replacement parts. When a cheap skylight fails, you’re usually stuck replacing the entire unit.
Yes, we specialize in flat roof skylights using VELUX curb-mounted systems designed specifically for low-slope applications. Many Old Mastic homes have flat or low-slope sections over additions, porches, or modern renovations.
Flat roof skylights require different installation techniques than pitched roof units. We build proper curbs, use modified bitumen or EPDM compatible flashing, and ensure positive drainage around the unit. These installations are actually more reliable than pitched roof skylights when done correctly.
Water doesn’t run down and pool around the flashing like it can on steep roofs.
Most single skylight installations take four to six hours from start to finish. We typically complete the exterior work first, then handle interior finishing touches like drywall patching and trim work.
Weather affects timing – we won’t cut your roof open if rain is forecast. We schedule installations during stable weather windows and can usually complete the waterproof exterior work in two to three hours. Multiple skylights or complex custom skylight fitting may take a full day.
We always clean up completely and ensure your home is secure before leaving each day.
Most skylight installations in Old Mastic require building permits, especially if we’re cutting new openings or doing electrical work for motorized units. We handle all permit applications and inspections as part of our service.
The permit process typically adds one to two weeks to project timing but ensures your installation meets current building codes. This protects your investment and prevents issues if you sell your home later. Some simple skylight replacements on existing openings may not require permits, but we always check with the building department to be certain.
Better safe than sorry when it comes to code compliance.
