You’ll cut your reliance on artificial lighting and air conditioning while flooding your home with beautiful natural light. Your VELUX skylights work as natural ventilation systems, pulling hot air out during summer and letting fresh air circulate year-round.
No more flipping switches to make dark spaces livable. Your hallways, stairwells, and interior rooms become inviting spaces that feel twice as large.
The energy savings add up fast when you’re not running lights all day or overworking your HVAC system to move stale air.
Expressway Roofing and Chimney has been Gordon Heights’ trusted skylight contractor for over 20 years. We understand Long Island’s unique weather challenges and building requirements.
Our 4.8-star rating comes from hundreds of satisfied homeowners who needed their skylight projects done right the first time. We’re fully licensed, bonded, and insured in Nassau and Suffolk Counties.
You won’t find another local contractor who combines our experience with our transparent, fair pricing approach. We’ve built our reputation on quality work and honest communication.
We start with a thorough assessment of your roof structure and the rooms you want to brighten. Our team identifies the optimal skylight placement for maximum light while maintaining your roof’s integrity.
Next, we precisely cut the roof opening and install your chosen VELUX skylight system with proper flashing and weatherproofing. Every installation includes our leak-free guarantee because we use proven techniques developed over two decades.
The interior work involves creating the light shaft, finishing drywall, and painting to match your existing space. Most installations complete within 1-3 days depending on roof complexity and weather conditions.

We install and repair all types of skylights: fixed units for maximum light, vented skylights for natural ventilation, and sun tunnels for tight spaces. Our VELUX skylights come with ENERGY STAR certification and industry-leading warranties.
Gordon Heights homeowners choose us for skylight leak repairs, flashing replacement, and complete skylight replacements. We handle everything from small bathroom skylights to large custom installations on flat or pitched roofs.
Every project includes proper insulation, weatherproofing, and interior finishing. We protect your floors and furniture during installation and clean up completely when finished.
Skylight installation costs in Gordon Heights typically range from $1,000 to $4,000 depending on size, type, and roof complexity. Fixed skylights start around $1,000-$2,000 installed, while vented VELUX units run $2,000-$4,000.
The total cost includes the skylight unit, flashing materials, interior shaft construction, drywall finishing, and painting. Flat roof installations may cost slightly more due to specialized flashing requirements.
We provide free, transparent estimates with no hidden fees. Our pricing beats most competitors while using only premium VELUX products backed by comprehensive warranties.
Properly installed skylights don’t leak, even during severe Long Island weather. We use VELUX’s three-layer leak protection system with precision flashing that’s designed specifically for our climate.
Most skylight leaks result from poor installation or cheap materials. We’ve perfected our installation techniques over 20 years and guarantee leak-free performance on every job.
Our VELUX skylights include integrated rain sensors that automatically close vented units when precipitation starts. Combined with our professional installation, you get complete weather protection year-round.
Most skylight installations in Gordon Heights complete within 1-3 days. Simple fixed skylights on accessible roofs often finish in one day, while complex installations with long light shafts may take 2-3 days.
Weather affects timing since we need dry conditions for roof work. We schedule installations during favorable weather windows and communicate any delays immediately.
The process involves exterior roof work (cutting, flashing, skylight mounting) and interior work (shaft construction, drywall, painting). We coordinate both phases efficiently to minimize disruption to your daily routine.
Yes, properly installed VELUX skylights significantly reduce energy costs through natural lighting and ventilation. You’ll use less artificial lighting during daylight hours and rely less on air conditioning for air circulation.
ENERGY STAR certified skylights like our VELUX units feature advanced glazing that blocks excessive heat in summer while allowing beneficial light year-round. Vented models create natural air circulation that reduces HVAC workload.
Many Gordon Heights customers report 15-25% reductions in lighting costs and noticeable improvements in indoor air quality. The energy savings help offset installation costs over time.
Fixed skylights provide maximum natural light without opening capabilities. They’re perfect for hallways, stairwells, and spaces where you want light but don’t need ventilation.
Vented skylights open to allow fresh air circulation and heat escape. They’re ideal for kitchens, bathrooms, and rooms prone to moisture buildup or stuffiness. Our VELUX vented units include rain sensors for automatic closing.
Both types offer the same energy efficiency and weather protection. The choice depends on whether you need ventilation in addition to natural light. We help you select the right type based on room function and your specific needs.
We handle all skylight repairs including leak fixes, flashing replacement, glass replacement, and mechanism repairs on vented units. Many skylight problems can be resolved without full replacement.
Our repair services address common issues like damaged flashing, worn seals, broken glass, and malfunctioning opening mechanisms. We work on all skylight brands, though we specialize in VELUX systems.
Sometimes replacement makes more sense than repair, especially for older skylights lacking modern energy efficiency. We provide honest assessments and explain all options with transparent pricing for both repair and replacement solutions.
