Your energy bills drop when natural light replaces artificial lighting for most of the day. You get the kind of bright, airy spaces that make your home feel bigger and more welcoming.
The right skylight installation eliminates the dark corners and cramped feeling that artificial lighting can’t fix. You wake up to natural sunlight streaming through your kitchen, bathroom, or living area.
Professional installation means you never worry about water damage, ceiling stains, or emergency repairs during the next storm. Your skylights work exactly as they should—bringing in light, not problems.
We’ve been serving Brookhaven homeowners who need skylights that actually work. We understand the unique challenges of Long Island weather and roof construction.
Most skylight problems come from poor installation, not poor products. We use proper flashing techniques and VELUX’s proven systems because we’ve seen what happens when shortcuts are taken.
Brookhaven’s mix of older homes and new construction means we work with every roof type—from steep pitched roofs to flat commercial-style roofs. Each installation gets the attention it needs to prevent future headaches.
We start by evaluating your roof structure and interior space to determine the best skylight placement and type. This includes checking for obstacles, measuring the light shaft, and ensuring proper support.
The installation begins with precise cutting and framing, followed by professional flashing that integrates with your existing roofing materials. We build the interior light shaft to maximize light distribution while maintaining your home’s insulation.
Each skylight gets tested for proper operation and weather sealing before we finish the interior work. You get a complete installation that looks professional inside and out, with cleanup that leaves your property spotless.

We install VELUX skylights, sun tunnels, and custom solutions for Brookhaven homes. This includes fixed skylights for maximum light, venting models for fresh air circulation, and sun tunnels for spaces where traditional skylights won’t work.
Flat roof installations use curb-mounted systems designed specifically for Long Island’s weather patterns. We handle the structural work, flashing, and interior finishing to give you a complete installation.
Emergency repairs address leaking skylights before they damage your ceiling or walls. We also replace older acrylic skylights with modern tempered glass units that last decades longer and perform better in Brookhaven’s climate.
VELUX skylights are designed to last 15-20 years with proper installation and maintenance in Long Island’s climate. The tempered glass units handle our weather extremes much better than older acrylic skylights.
Professional installation with proper flashing is crucial for longevity. We use VELUX’s “No Leak” system with advanced underlayment and sealing techniques that prevent the water infiltration problems common with older installations.
Regular inspection and cleaning help maintain optimal performance. The solar-powered shades and rain sensors on newer models also protect the skylight from weather damage while giving you better light control.
Yes, we regularly install skylights on flat roofs throughout Brookhaven using curb-mounted systems. These installations require different techniques than pitched roof skylights but work extremely well when done correctly.
Curb-mounted skylights sit on a raised wooden frame that we build around the roof opening. This design allows proper water drainage and prevents the pooling issues that can cause leaks on flat installations.
We use VELUX’s flat roof systems including their TCR Sun Tunnel models and solar-powered fresh air skylights. The key is building the curb with proper angles and using commercial-grade flashing materials designed for flat roof applications.
Traditional skylights are windows installed directly in your roof that bring light through a shaft to your ceiling. Sun tunnels use highly reflective tubes to channel sunlight into spaces where regular skylights aren’t practical.
Sun tunnels work great for hallways, bathrooms, closets, and interior rooms where you can’t run a straight light shaft. The flexible versions can navigate around obstacles while rigid tunnels provide the brightest light for straight runs.
Both options reduce your need for artificial lighting, but sun tunnels are less expensive to install and work in spaces where traditional skylights would require major structural changes. We help you choose the right option based on your home’s layout and your lighting goals.
Skylight installation costs vary based on the size, type, and complexity of your project. Basic installations typically range from $1,000 to $3,000, while larger or more complex installations can cost more.
The total includes the skylight unit, professional installation, interior finishing, and proper flashing. Sun tunnels are generally less expensive than traditional skylights because they require less structural work and interior finishing.
We provide detailed estimates after evaluating your specific situation. Factors like roof accessibility, interior shaft requirements, and the type of skylight you choose all affect the final cost. Emergency repairs are typically less expensive than full replacements.
Yes, properly installed skylights can reduce your artificial lighting needs by up to 30%, which translates to noticeable energy savings. The natural light they provide is also better quality than most artificial lighting.
The energy savings are most significant during daylight hours when you’d normally use overhead lights or lamps. In Brookhaven’s climate, the solar heat gain in winter can also help reduce heating costs.
Modern VELUX skylights come with solar-powered shades that help control heat gain in summer while still allowing natural light. This gives you the lighting benefits without the cooling cost penalties that older skylights sometimes created.
Properly installed skylights shouldn’t leak, which is why we use VELUX’s proven installation methods and provide comprehensive warranties on our work. Most skylight leaks result from poor installation, not product defects.
We stand behind every installation with detailed warranties covering both the product and our workmanship. If any issues develop, we address them quickly to prevent damage to your home.
Our installation process includes multiple layers of protection: proper flashing integration, adhesive underlayment, and weather sealing techniques that prevent water infiltration. We also test each installation before completing the project to ensure everything works correctly.
