Your home should work for you, not against you. The right skylights flood your rooms with natural light, slash your electricity costs, and make your space feel twice as large.
You’ll notice the difference immediately. Mornings feel brighter without flipping a switch. Your HVAC system gets a break when venting skylights pull hot air out naturally. Energy bills drop because you’re not paying to light rooms during the day.
But here’s what really matters: properly installed skylights increase your home value while creating healthier living spaces. Natural light improves mood, reduces eye strain, and makes every room more inviting for your family and guests.
We’ve been solving Long Island’s skylight challenges for over 20 years. We’re the local contractor Greenlawn homeowners call when they need skylights installed right the first time.
We understand Long Island weather. Heavy rains, snow loads, and coastal humidity put serious demands on your roof. That’s why we guarantee leak-free installations and use only premium materials designed for our climate.
As a fully licensed, bonded, and insured contractor serving Nassau and Suffolk Counties, we’ve built our reputation on quality work and honest pricing. When you see our trucks in Greenlawn neighborhoods, you know the job will be done properly.
We start with a thorough roof assessment to determine the best skylight placement for maximum light and structural integrity. Every roof is different, and we take time to understand yours before cutting anything.
Next comes precise installation. We carefully measure and cut the opening, install proper flashing systems, and seal everything with waterproof barriers. Our team handles the interior finishing too, so you’re not left with half-completed work.
The final step is our leak-free guarantee inspection. We test every seal, check all flashing, and ensure your new skylights will perform perfectly through Long Island’s changing seasons. You get peace of mind knowing the job was done right.

We install ENERGY STAR qualified Velux skylights that are engineered specifically for our climate. These aren’t basic skylights – they feature energy-efficient glazing that minimizes heat loss in winter and reduces heat gain in summer.
Greenlawn homeowners appreciate options. Fixed skylights maximize light in bedrooms and living areas. Venting skylights work perfectly in kitchens and bathrooms where humidity control matters. Solar-powered models open and close automatically, even including rain sensors.
For tight spaces, sun tunnels channel natural light through reflective tubes into hallways, closets, and interior rooms. Every installation includes proper flashing, weatherproofing, and our leak-free guarantee because Long Island weather demands nothing less than perfect sealing.
Skylight installation costs in Greenlawn typically range from $1,500 to $4,000 depending on size, type, and complexity. Fixed skylights cost less than venting models, while solar-powered skylights with rain sensors represent the premium option.
The investment pays for itself through reduced electricity bills and increased home value. Greenlawn’s median home value of $626,700 means even a modest skylight installation can provide strong returns when you sell.
We provide detailed written estimates that break down all costs – no surprises or hidden fees. Call us for a free assessment and we’ll give you exact pricing based on your specific roof and needs.
Properly installed skylights don’t leak, period. The problem isn’t skylights themselves – it’s poor installation that causes water problems. Many homeowners blame skylights for leaks that actually come from damaged roof areas nearby.
We use advanced flashing systems and waterproof barriers designed for Long Island’s heavy rains and snow loads. Every seal gets tested before we consider the job complete. Our leak-free guarantee backs up our confidence in proper installation.
If you have an existing leaky skylight, we can usually repair it for much less than replacement. Often the issue is failed flashing or worn seals that we can fix quickly and permanently.
Velux skylights are engineered for durability and energy efficiency. Over 90% of their production meets ENERGY STAR requirements, which matters when you’re trying to control heating and cooling costs in Long Island’s variable climate.
The key differences are in the details. Velux uses multi-layered glazing that blocks UV rays while maximizing visible light. Their flashing systems integrate better with various roofing materials. Solar-powered models include battery backup so they work even during power outages.
Generic skylights might cost less upfront, but they often lack proper weatherproofing and energy efficiency features. When you factor in potential leak repairs and higher energy bills, premium skylights like Velux actually cost less over time.
Yes, we specialize in flat roof skylight installations using curb-mounted systems designed for low-slope applications. These require different techniques than traditional pitched roof skylights, but they’re perfectly suited for many Long Island homes.
Flat roof skylights use raised curbs that elevate the skylight above the roof surface, ensuring proper water drainage. We seal the curb to your roof membrane and install the skylight with compression gaskets that maintain watertight integrity.
The process takes more precision than pitched roof installations, but the results are just as reliable. We’ve installed hundreds of flat roof skylights across Suffolk and Nassau Counties with our same leak-free guarantee.
Most single skylight installations take one full day from start to finish. We arrive early, complete all cutting and installation work, handle interior finishing, and clean up before leaving. You’re not left with an open hole in your roof overnight.
Multiple skylights or complex installations might require two days, especially if we’re coordinating with other roof work. We always provide realistic timelines upfront so you can plan accordingly.
Weather can affect scheduling since we won’t compromise quality by working in rain or high winds. Long Island weather changes quickly, but we monitor forecasts carefully and communicate any necessary delays immediately.
Most skylight installations in Greenlawn require building permits, especially when cutting new roof openings. As licensed contractors, we handle all permit applications and inspections as part of our service.
The permit process typically takes 1-2 weeks, but it protects you by ensuring the work meets local building codes. Town of Huntington inspectors verify that structural modifications are safe and that installations meet energy efficiency requirements.
We include permit costs in our written estimates so there are no surprises. Our experience with local building departments means permits get approved quickly and inspections pass the first time, keeping your project on schedule.
