You know that feeling when you walk into a room and immediately reach for the light switch? Those dim hallways, dark bathrooms, and rooms that feel more like caves than living spaces.
That changes completely with the right skylight. Natural light floods in from above, making rooms feel twice as large and infinitely more welcoming. Your electric bills drop because you’re not constantly running lights during the day.
But here’s what most people don’t realize – the difference between a skylight that works and one that becomes your worst nightmare comes down to proper installation. When done right, you get all the benefits without the headaches.
We’ve been serving Hagerman and Long Island homeowners for over two decades. We’re VELUX Skylight Specialists, which means we know exactly how to install these systems without the leaking problems that plague so many skylight installations.
Our approach is simple: fair pricing, honest assessments, and transparent communication. No high-pressure sales tactics or hidden fees. We’ve built our reputation on delivering what we promise.
When you’re dealing with something as important as cutting a hole in your roof, you want contractors who’ve done it thousands of times successfully. That’s exactly what you get with our team.
First, we assess your roof structure and discuss exactly what you want to achieve. Some rooms need more light, others need ventilation, and some need both. We’ll recommend the right VELUX skylight type for your specific situation.
Next comes the precision work. We carefully cut the opening, ensuring proper framing and structural integrity. The skylight gets installed with triple-layered flashing protection – this is where most installations fail, but it’s where we excel.
Finally, we seal everything with VELUX’s No Leak system and clean up completely. You get a 10-year warranty on both the product and our installation work. Most importantly, you get a skylight that works exactly as intended without any surprises.

Every skylight installation includes VELUX’s industry-leading products with ENERGY STAR certification. These aren’t the cheap plastic skylights that crack and leak – they’re engineered glass systems built to handle New York’s weather extremes.
You’ll get integrated rain sensors that automatically close venting skylights when storms hit. The energy-efficient glazing reduces heat loss in winter and prevents overheating in summer, which is crucial given Long Island’s climate variations.
For Hagerman homeowners, this means lower utility bills year-round. New York’s average monthly electric costs run $280, so the energy savings add up quickly. Plus, you’re adding value to your home while making it more comfortable to live in.
Skylight installation costs vary based on the size, type, and complexity of your roof structure. Most Hagerman homeowners invest between $1,500 and $4,000 for a quality VELUX skylight with professional installation.
This includes the skylight unit, all flashing materials, proper sealing, and our installation warranty. While you might find cheaper options, remember that improper installation often leads to repair costs of $450-1,000 later – sometimes within the first year.
We provide free, transparent estimates so you know exactly what you’re paying for upfront. No surprises, no hidden fees, just honest pricing for quality work.
Not if it’s installed correctly. The reality is that 3 out of 4 skylight leaks aren’t actually flashing problems – they’re failures in the skylight unit itself or improper installation techniques.
We use VELUX’s No Leak system with triple-layered protection and back it with a 10-year warranty. Our installation process addresses the most common failure points that cause leaks in the first place.
After 20+ years of skylight installations in Hagerman and throughout Long Island, we’ve perfected the techniques that prevent leaks from ever starting. That’s why we can confidently guarantee our work.
VELUX skylights are engineered with tempered glass, integrated rain sensors, and energy-efficient glazing that’s ENERGY STAR certified. Cheaper skylights typically use plastic domes that crack, fog up, and fail within a few years.
The energy efficiency difference alone justifies the investment. VELUX skylights can reduce your energy consumption by 20-60% compared to standard units, which matters when your monthly electric bill averages $280 in New York.
Plus, VELUX offers a 10-year warranty on both the product and installation when installed by certified specialists like us. Cheaper options usually void their warranty the moment they’re installed by non-certified contractors.
Absolutely. Properly installed VELUX skylights reduce your reliance on artificial lighting during the day and provide natural ventilation that lessens the load on your HVAC system.
In New York, where utility costs run $540-650 monthly including electricity at $280, the savings add up quickly. The energy-efficient glazing minimizes heat loss in winter and reduces heat gain in summer, helping maintain comfortable temperatures naturally.
Many Hagerman homeowners see noticeable reductions in their electric bills within the first few months. Over the skylight’s lifespan, these savings often exceed the initial investment cost.
Most single skylight installations take 4-6 hours from start to finish. This includes cutting the opening, installing the skylight with proper flashing, sealing everything weatherproof, and cleaning up completely.
Weather conditions can affect timing, but we schedule installations during optimal weather windows to ensure proper sealing. We never rush the installation process because that’s where problems develop later.
For multiple skylights or complex roof configurations, we’ll give you an accurate timeline during your free estimate. The goal is always quality installation, not speed.
We handle both skylight repairs and new installations throughout Hagerman. However, many skylight problems that homeowners think are “fixable” actually require replacement for a permanent solution.
When we evaluate your existing skylight, we’ll tell you honestly whether repair makes financial sense or if replacement is the better long-term investment. Sometimes a $200 repair solves the problem; other times, spending $500 on repairs for a skylight that needs replacing anyway doesn’t make sense.
Our free evaluation includes a complete assessment of your skylight’s condition and a transparent recommendation for the most cost-effective solution. No upselling, just honest professional advice.
