Your rooms don’t have to stay dark. A properly installed skylight brings up to four times more natural light than a same-sized window – and that’s just the beginning.
You’ll cut your electric bills by using fewer lamps and overhead lights during the day. The natural heat gain helps reduce heating costs too, especially during Manorville’s cooler months when every bit of warmth counts.
But here’s what matters most: you get all these benefits without the headaches that come with poorly installed skylights. No surprise leaks. No water damage. No regrets about your investment.
We’ve been serving Manorville homeowners since the area was still growing into the family-friendly community it is today. We’ve installed skylights in colonial homes, ranch houses, and everything in between across Suffolk County.
As a family-owned business, we understand what it’s like to invest in your home. That’s why we don’t just install skylights – we install them right the first time, with proper flashing and sealing techniques that keep your investment protected.
When you live in an area where homes average over $650,000, you need contractors who understand the value of quality work. We’ve built our reputation on delivering exactly that, one skylight at a time.
We start with a thorough assessment of your roof structure and the rooms you want to brighten. Not every location works for every type of skylight, so we’ll identify the best spots for maximum light and minimum installation complexity.
Next, we handle all the structural work – cutting the opening, building proper curbing, and installing the skylight with professional-grade flashing. This is where experience matters most. Poor flashing is the number one cause of skylight leaks, so we use proven techniques that have kept our installations dry for over two decades.
Finally, we complete the interior work and clean up completely. You’re left with beautiful natural light, improved energy efficiency, and the confidence that comes with our 10-year warranty on both materials and workmanship.

We install and repair all types of skylights, from basic fixed units to solar-powered venting models with rain sensors. Velux skylights are our most popular choice because they’re built for Long Island weather – designed to handle everything from summer storms to winter snow loads.
For homes with limited roof space or truss limitations, sun tunnels bring natural light to interior rooms like bathrooms, closets, and hallways. These are especially popular in Manorville’s ranch-style homes where traditional skylights might not fit.
Flat roof skylights require specialized installation techniques, which we’ve perfected over years of working on Long Island’s diverse housing stock. Whether your home was built in the 1960s or last year, we have the expertise to add natural light safely and effectively.
Skylight installation in Manorville typically ranges from $3,000 to $7,300 per skylight, depending on the type and complexity of installation. Fixed skylights start around $3,000, while solar-powered venting models with blinds can reach $7,000+.
The final cost depends on your roof’s pitch, accessibility, and whether custom flashing is needed. Steeper roofs and complex installations require more time and safety equipment, which increases labor costs.
We provide detailed written estimates that break down all costs upfront, so you’ll know exactly what to expect before we start work.
Most skylight leaks come from improper flashing installation – the metal strips that seal the skylight to your roof. When flashing is installed incorrectly or uses inferior materials, water finds its way in during storms.
We prevent leaks by using step flashing and continuous flashing techniques that create multiple barriers against water intrusion. Every piece of flashing is properly overlapped and sealed with professional-grade sealants designed for Long Island’s weather.
Our installation process also includes proper curb construction and interior vapor barriers. These extra steps take more time but eliminate the moisture problems that plague poorly installed skylights.
We can install skylights on most roof types, but the approach varies significantly. Asphalt shingle roofs are the most straightforward, while tile, metal, and flat roofs each require specialized techniques and materials.
For flat roofs common in some Manorville commercial buildings, we use curb-mounted skylights with modified bitumen or EPDM flashing systems. Steep-pitched roofs need additional safety measures and may require larger crews.
Before any installation, we assess your roof structure, age, and condition. If your roof needs repairs or isn’t suitable for skylights, we’ll tell you honestly rather than create problems down the road.
Most single skylight installations take one full day, weather permitting. We start early to minimize the time your roof is open to the elements, typically completing the exterior work by mid-afternoon.
Complex installations involving multiple skylights, custom flashing, or structural modifications may take two days. We always cover any openings with tarps if work extends overnight, though this is rarely necessary.
Interior finishing work – patching drywall, painting, and trim installation – usually happens the following day. We coordinate this timing to minimize disruption to your daily routine.
Velux skylights are engineered specifically for harsh weather conditions like those we experience on Long Island. Their flashing systems are more comprehensive than most competitors, with multiple layers of protection against water intrusion.
The glass quality is also superior – Velux uses laminated glass that won’t shatter into dangerous pieces if damaged by hail or debris. Their blinds and shades integrate seamlessly with the skylight frame, rather than being aftermarket additions.
Most importantly, Velux provides detailed installation instructions and training for contractors. This means fewer installation errors and better long-term performance compared to brands that offer minimal contractor support.
Yes, we repair skylights regardless of who originally installed them. Many of our repair calls involve skylights that were installed incorrectly by contractors who don’t specialize in skylight work.
Common repairs include reflashing, resealing, replacing damaged glass, and fixing interior water damage. Sometimes the most cost-effective solution is complete replacement, especially for skylights over 15 years old.
We provide honest assessments of whether repair or replacement makes more financial sense. Our goal is to solve your skylight problems permanently, not just temporarily patch them up.
