You know those rooms in your house that feel like caves? The bathroom where you need the light on at noon. The hallway that’s always dim. The closet that feels more like a dungeon.
Those days are over. A properly installed skylight changes everything – suddenly that unwelcoming space becomes bright, open, and actually pleasant to be in. You’ll use less electricity during the day, and your home feels bigger and more inviting.
The difference isn’t just about light. It’s about how your home feels when you walk through it. Natural light makes spaces livable again.
We’ve been installing and repairing skylights across Long Island since before it was trendy. Hampton Bays homeowners know us because we show up when we say we will, quote what the job actually costs, and fix things right the first time.
We’re not the cheapest – and that’s good news for you. You’re getting skylights installed by people who understand how coastal weather affects your roof, who know the difference between a quick patch and a real solution.
Our quotes are transparent. No surprises, no hidden fees, no sales pressure. Just honest pricing for work that lasts.
First, we inspect your roof and the space where you want the skylight. We’re looking at structural support, roof pitch, potential obstacles, and the best placement for maximum light without compromising your roof’s integrity.
Next, we cut the opening and install the skylight with proper flashing – this is where most contractors mess up and create leaks later. We use engineered flashing systems that actually seal against Long Island weather.
Finally, we finish the interior work, connecting the skylight through your ceiling with a light shaft that distributes natural light evenly throughout the room. Clean up is included – you won’t know we were there except for the beautiful natural light.

Every skylight installation includes proper flashing, weatherproofing, and interior finishing. We work with Velux skylights – the industry standard for quality and reliability. Whether you need a fixed skylight for maximum light or a venting model for fresh air, we match the right product to your specific situation.
For Hampton Bays homes, we pay special attention to coastal weather patterns. Salt air, high winds, and driving rain require skylights that can handle Long Island’s unique challenges. We also coordinate with any existing roof work to maximize efficiency and minimize disruption.
Repairs get the same attention to detail. We don’t just patch the obvious problem – we find why it’s happening and fix the root cause so you’re not calling us back in six months.
Skylight installation typically ranges from $1,200 to $4,500 depending on the size, type, and complexity of the installation. Fixed skylights cost less than venting models, and roof pitch affects labor time.
The biggest cost factor is usually the interior work – creating the light shaft from roof to ceiling. Simple installations in single-story homes cost less than installations requiring complex framing through multiple levels.
We provide detailed written estimates that break down materials and labor so you know exactly what you’re paying for. No surprises, no hidden fees.
Not if it’s installed correctly. Most skylight leaks happen because of poor flashing installation, not the skylight itself. We use engineered flashing systems specifically designed for Long Island’s weather patterns.
The key is proper integration with your existing roof system. We don’t just cut a hole and drop in a skylight – we create a weatherproof seal that works with your roof’s drainage patterns and handles wind-driven rain.
Every installation comes with a warranty on both materials and workmanship. If there’s ever a leak related to our installation, we fix it at no charge.
Yes, but flat roof skylights require different products and installation techniques than standard pitched roof models. We use curb-mounted skylights designed specifically for low-slope applications.
Drainage is critical on flat roofs – water needs somewhere to go. We ensure proper sloping around the skylight and integrate it with your roof’s existing drainage system. The flashing details are also different and require specialized materials.
Many Hampton Bays homes have sections with lower pitch roofs, and we’ve successfully installed skylights on everything from completely flat commercial-style roofs to shallow residential pitches.
Most single skylight installations take one full day. Complex installations requiring extensive interior framing might take two days. We complete the roof work first to minimize weather exposure, then finish interior details.
Weather can affect timing – we won’t start roof cuts if rain is forecast within 24 hours. It’s better to wait a day than risk water damage to your home.
We coordinate scheduling around your needs and provide realistic timeframes upfront. Rush jobs usually mean corners get cut, and that leads to problems later.
Absolutely. We fix skylights installed by others all the time – unfortunately, we see a lot of poor installation work that creates ongoing problems. Most repairs involve fixing inadequate flashing or addressing structural issues.
We start with a thorough inspection to identify not just the obvious problem but the underlying cause. Sometimes a “leaky skylight” is actually a roof drainage issue or flashing failure that’s showing up at the skylight.
Our approach is to fix it right, not just stop the immediate problem. That might mean more work upfront, but it saves you money and headaches in the long run.
Velux skylights are engineered systems, not just windows stuck in your roof. They come with integrated flashing kits designed to work together, and their quality control is consistently better than generic brands.
The installation hardware makes a difference too. Velux provides specific mounting brackets, flashing components, and sealing materials designed to work as a system. Generic skylights often require improvised solutions that create weak points.
We’ve installed both over the years, and Velux skylights simply perform better long-term. They cost slightly more upfront but save money over time through better performance and fewer repairs.
