Your skylight should brighten your space, not cause headaches. When we install or repair your skylights, you get natural light that transforms dark rooms into welcoming spaces. No more water stains on your ceiling. No more dreading the next rainstorm.
You’ll save on electricity bills while enjoying the mood-boosting benefits of natural light. Your rooms feel larger, more open, and naturally comfortable. Plus, proper ventilation helps remove cooking odors, bathroom moisture, and stale air.
The best part? You can trust the work will last. Our installations stay leak-free because we do it right the first time, using proven techniques and quality materials that stand up to Long Island weather.
Expressway Roofing and Chimney Inc has been fixing skylight problems for Farmingville homeowners for over two decades. We’ve seen every type of leak, crack, and installation mistake you can imagine.
What sets us apart is simple: we actually fix the problem instead of just patching it up. When other contractors have failed to stop your leaks, we figure out what’s really going wrong and address it properly.
We serve Farmingville and the surrounding Suffolk County areas with the same straightforward approach. No overselling, no surprises, just honest work that solves your skylight issues for good.
First, we inspect your current situation. Whether you need repairs or new installation, we examine your roof structure, existing skylights, and any water damage to understand exactly what needs to happen.
Next, we explain your options clearly. If it’s repairable, we’ll tell you. If replacement makes more sense, we’ll walk you through why. We use quality products like VELUX skylights that are built to last in our Long Island climate.
Then we do the work right. Proper flashing, correct sealing, structural integrity – all the details that prevent future problems. We clean up completely and make sure you’re satisfied before we consider the job finished.

We handle every type of skylight need in Farmingville. Leaky skylights get properly sealed with new flashing and weatherproofing. Cracked or broken glass gets replaced with energy-efficient options. Old, discolored skylights get upgraded to modern VELUX units.
For new installations, we work with your home’s architecture to position skylights where they’ll provide maximum benefit. Flat roof skylights, sun tunnels for tight spaces, and custom fitting for unique situations – we’ve done it all in Farmingville’s diverse housing stock.
Long Island’s weather demands skylights that can handle everything from nor’easters to summer heat. That’s why we focus on proper installation techniques and use materials designed for our climate. Your investment should last decades, not just a few years.
Skylight installation in Farmingville typically ranges from $1,000 to $4,000, depending on the size, type, and complexity of your project. A basic fixed skylight costs less than venting models with electric or solar-powered features.
The total includes the skylight unit, installation labor, any necessary roof modifications, and interior finishing work. Factors like roof pitch, roofing material, and accessibility affect the final cost. We provide detailed estimates that break down all costs upfront so you know exactly what to expect.
Most skylight leaks happen because of poor installation, damaged flashing, or age-related seal failure. The flashing – the metal material that connects the skylight to your roof – is critical for keeping water out.
We prevent leaks by using proper flashing techniques, quality sealants, and ensuring the skylight integrates correctly with your roof’s drainage system. We also inspect the surrounding roof area for any issues that could cause problems later. When we install VELUX skylights, they come with comprehensive warranties because the installation meets their strict standards.
Repair makes sense when the skylight structure is sound but has minor issues like worn seals, small flashing problems, or condensation issues. We can often fix these problems affordably and extend your skylight’s life significantly.
Replacement is better when the skylight is cracked, severely discolored, or has major structural issues. Old plastic skylights often need replacement because they become brittle and cloudy over time. Modern VELUX skylights with tempered glass and better insulation are worth the upgrade – they’ll last much longer and perform better than what you’re replacing.
Yes, we’re experienced VELUX skylight installers serving Farmingville and all of Suffolk County. VELUX makes some of the best skylights available, with options for every need – fixed, venting, solar-powered, and electric models.
VELUX skylights come with excellent warranties and are designed to handle Long Island’s weather conditions. They offer energy-efficient glazing that helps with both heating and cooling costs. Many VELUX installations qualify for federal tax credits, which can offset a significant portion of your investment. We’ll help you choose the right VELUX model for your specific situation and ensure it’s installed to their specifications.
Most skylight installations take one to two days, depending on the complexity of your project. A straightforward replacement on an accessible roof can often be completed in a single day. New installations that require cutting roof openings or extensive interior work may take longer.
Weather affects timing – we won’t install skylights during rain or high winds because proper sealing requires dry conditions. We’ll give you a realistic timeline during our initial consultation and keep you updated if anything changes. The goal is to get your project completed efficiently while ensuring every detail is done correctly.
Absolutely. Flat roof skylights require different techniques than pitched roof installations, but we have extensive experience with both. Flat roof skylights typically use curb-mounted systems that sit above the roof surface with proper drainage built in.
The key with flat roof skylights is ensuring water flows away from the unit correctly and that the mounting system can handle snow loads and thermal expansion. We use specialized flat roof skylights designed for these conditions and install them with the proper slope and flashing details. Many Farmingville homes have flat or low-slope roofs, so this is something we handle regularly.
