You want natural light that actually makes a difference. Not just a little glow—real, transformative brightness that changes how your home feels every single day.
When we install your skylights properly, you’re looking at up to five times more natural light than regular windows. That means rooms that were once dark and cramped suddenly feel open and spacious. Your electric bills drop because you’re not running lights all day. And you get that connection to the outdoors that makes your home feel alive.
The difference between a skylight that works and one that causes problems comes down to installation. We’ve been doing this in Eastport for over twenty years, so we know exactly how to handle Long Island’s weather patterns, roof types, and the specific challenges that come with cutting holes in your roof the right way.
We’ve been serving Eastport homeowners since 2001, and we’ve learned a few things about what works and what doesn’t when it comes to skylights.
Most importantly, we’ve learned that there’s no substitute for doing the job right the first time. Every skylight we install comes with proper flashing, quality materials, and the kind of attention to detail that prevents problems down the road. We’re licensed and insured to work in Eastport, and we stand behind our work with warranties that actually mean something.
The thing about Long Island weather is that it tests everything—your roof, your windows, and definitely your skylights. We’ve developed specialized techniques over the years that account for our wet, humid conditions and unpredictable storms. When other contractors are guessing, we’re applying two decades of local experience.
First, we come out and assess your roof and the room where you want the skylight. We’re looking at structural considerations, optimal placement for light, and any potential challenges with your specific roof type.
Next, we measure everything precisely and help you choose the right skylight for your needs—whether that’s a fixed unit for maximum light, a vented model for airflow, or a sun tunnel for smaller spaces. We work with premium brands like Velux because quality matters when you’re cutting into your roof.
Installation day is when everything comes together. We carefully cut the opening, install proper flashing and waterproofing, set the skylight, and finish the interior work. Most installations are completed in a single day, and we clean up completely when we’re done. You’re left with natural light streaming in and no mess to deal with.

When you work with us, you’re getting more than just a skylight—you’re getting a complete lighting solution that’s built to last.
We specialize in Velux skylights because they’re simply the best in the business. These aren’t the cheap units you might find elsewhere. Velux skylights are engineered for durability, energy efficiency, and leak-free performance. They come with excellent warranties, and more importantly, they’re designed to handle everything Long Island weather can throw at them.
For Eastport homes specifically, we often recommend vented skylights in kitchens and bathrooms where moisture control matters, and fixed skylights in living areas where you want maximum light. Sun tunnels work great for hallways, closets, or interior rooms where traditional skylights aren’t practical. We also handle custom installations for unique roof configurations or architectural requirements. Every installation includes our no-leak guarantee because we know how to do the flashing and sealing work that prevents problems.
Skylight installation in Eastport typically ranges from $1,000 to $4,000, depending on the type of skylight, your roof complexity, and any interior finishing work needed. Fixed skylights are the most affordable option, while vented or solar-powered units cost more but offer additional functionality.
The total cost includes the skylight unit itself (which can range from $500 to $2,500), professional installation, flashing, interior finishing, and any necessary roof modifications. Factors that affect pricing include roof pitch, accessibility, the need for structural modifications, and whether you want features like remote controls or blinds. We provide transparent, upfront pricing so you know exactly what to expect before we start work.
Velux is the global leader in skylights for good reason—they’ve been perfecting their products for decades and they simply outperform cheaper alternatives in every category that matters.
Velux skylights are engineered with superior sealing systems, energy-efficient glazing, and flashing that’s designed to integrate perfectly with your roof. They’re built to handle extreme weather, resist leaks, and maintain their performance year after year. The warranties are also significantly better—up to 10 years on installation and up to 30 years on materials, depending on the product. Cheaper skylights might save you money upfront, but they often cost more in repairs, energy loss, and eventual replacement. When you’re cutting a hole in your roof, quality matters.
Most skylight installations are completed in a single day, though complex projects or multiple skylights may take longer. The actual installation process is typically 4-6 hours for a standard skylight on a typical roof.
The timeline depends on factors like roof accessibility, the need for structural modifications, interior finishing requirements, and weather conditions. We schedule installations during favorable weather and complete all the exterior work first to ensure your home stays dry throughout the process. If interior drywall work or painting is needed, that might add an additional day. We’ll give you a clear timeline during our initial consultation so you can plan accordingly.
Many leaking skylights can be repaired, depending on the source and extent of the problem. Common issues like damaged flashing, worn seals, or minor settling can often be fixed without full replacement.
We start with a thorough inspection to identify exactly where the leak is coming from. Sometimes it’s as simple as resealing around the frame or replacing flashing. Other times, the skylight itself may be damaged or the installation was done incorrectly from the start. If the skylight is old, severely damaged, or if repairs would cost nearly as much as replacement, we’ll recommend a new unit. Our goal is to give you the most cost-effective solution that actually solves the problem long-term.
Absolutely, when they’re installed correctly by contractors who understand Long Island’s specific weather challenges. Our climate actually makes skylights particularly valuable because we get plenty of natural light year-round, and the energy savings from reduced artificial lighting can be significant.
The key is proper installation that accounts for our wet springs, humid summers, and occasional severe storms. We use installation techniques and flashing methods that are specifically designed for Long Island conditions. Quality skylights like Velux are engineered to handle temperature fluctuations, heavy rain, and high winds without problems. We’ve been installing skylights in Eastport for over twenty years, and our techniques have been proven through multiple storm seasons and weather cycles.
We offer comprehensive warranty coverage that includes both our installation work and the skylight products themselves. Our installation work is covered for up to 10 years, and material warranties from manufacturers like Velux can extend up to 30 years, depending on the specific product.
Most importantly, we provide a no-leak guarantee on our installations because we know how to do the flashing and sealing work correctly. If you experience any leaks related to our installation work, we’ll return and fix the problem at no charge. The manufacturer warranties cover the skylight components—glass, frames, operating mechanisms, and other hardware. We handle all warranty claims directly, so you don’t have to deal with manufacturer customer service or complicated claim processes.
