Your rooms fill with natural light that cuts your electric bill and boosts your mood. You get the vitamin D benefits without the headaches. No more switching lights on during the day. No more stuffy, dark spaces that feel cramped.
The right skylight installation transforms how your home feels. You wake up to natural light instead of artificial glare. Your energy costs drop because you’re not running lights all day. And when storms hit, you stay dry—because we install them right the first time.
Most contractors treat skylights like an afterthought. We’ve been perfecting skylight installation and repair for over two decades. That’s the difference between a skylight that enhances your home and one that becomes a constant worry.
We’ve been serving New Cassel and Long Island since 2000. We’ve installed thousands of skylights and fixed even more leaky ones. Our A+ BBB rating didn’t come from cutting corners—it came from doing the job right.
We’re not the cheapest option in New Cassel, and that’s intentional. Quality skylight installation requires proper flashing, precise measurements, and materials that last. When you see our work, you’ll understand why homeowners call us back for their next project.
Long Island weather tests every roof feature. We know how nor’easters, summer storms, and freeze-thaw cycles affect skylights. That local knowledge goes into every installation we do in New Cassel.
First, we assess your roof structure and determine the best skylight placement for maximum light and minimal issues. We measure twice, cut once—because mistakes on your roof aren’t fixable with caulk.
Next comes the installation itself. We cut the opening precisely, install proper flashing systems, and waterproof every connection point. This isn’t a rush job. We take the time to do it right because we guarantee our work won’t leak.
Finally, we test everything before we leave. We check the seal, verify proper drainage, and make sure your new skylight opens and closes smoothly if it’s a vented model. You get a walkthrough of your new skylight and care instructions to keep it performing for decades.

Every skylight installation includes professional-grade Velux products, complete flashing systems, and our leak-free guarantee. We’re not installing builder-grade skylights that fail in five years. You get the same quality skylights we’d put on our own homes.
New Cassel homes face unique challenges with coastal weather patterns and varying roof styles. We stock skylights for flat roofs, pitched roofs, and everything in between. Fixed skylights for maximum light, vented models for fresh air, and solar-powered options that open automatically when it gets stuffy inside.
Our service includes sun tunnel installation for smaller spaces like bathrooms and hallways. These bring natural light to areas where traditional skylights won’t fit. Custom skylight fitting ensures your new installation matches your home’s architecture perfectly.
Skylight installation in New Cassel typically ranges from $1,000 to $4,000 depending on the size, type, and complexity of your roof. Fixed skylights cost less than vented or solar-powered models. Flat roof installations require different materials than pitched roofs.
The total includes the skylight unit itself ($500-$2,500), professional installation ($500-$1,500), and any necessary interior finishing work. We provide detailed written estimates so you know exactly what you’re paying for. No surprises, no hidden fees.
Quality installation costs more upfront but saves money long-term. Cheap skylight installation often leads to expensive leak repairs within a few years. We’d rather do it right once than come back to fix someone else’s mistakes.
Properly installed Velux skylights last 20-30 years in Long Island’s climate when maintained correctly. The glass and frame materials are designed to handle our freeze-thaw cycles, summer heat, and coastal humidity without degrading.
The key is professional installation with proper flashing. Most skylight failures happen within the first five years due to installation errors, not product defects. When we install your Velux skylight correctly, it becomes a permanent part of your home’s weather protection system.
We see skylights we installed 15+ years ago still performing perfectly. Regular inspection and minor maintenance keep them working like new. The investment in quality installation pays off with decades of reliable performance.
Three out of four skylight leaks come from the skylight unit itself failing, not flashing problems. Cheap skylights develop seal failures, cracked frames, or glass issues that let water through. Poor installation makes any skylight prone to leaks.
We prevent leaks by using quality Velux products and installing them with proper flashing systems. Every connection point gets sealed with professional-grade materials. We install ice and water shield around the opening and use step flashing that directs water away from the skylight.
The flashing installation is critical. Water follows the path of least resistance, so we create multiple barriers that guide it safely off your roof. This layered approach means even if one seal fails, backup systems keep you dry until repairs can be made.
Yes, we install skylights on flat roofs throughout New Cassel using specialized curb-mounted systems designed for low-slope applications. Flat roof skylights require different installation techniques than pitched roof models to ensure proper drainage and weatherproofing.
Flat roof skylights sit on raised curbs that elevate them above the roof membrane. This prevents water pooling around the skylight and provides positive drainage. We use modified bitumen or EPDM-compatible flashing systems that integrate with your existing roof membrane.
These installations are more complex than pitched roof skylights but provide the same natural light benefits. We often recommend them for modern homes, additions, or commercial spaces where traditional pitched skylights won’t work. Proper installation is even more critical on flat roofs.
We repair skylights regardless of who installed them originally. Most of our repair calls involve fixing installation mistakes made by other contractors—improper flashing, wrong sealants, or skylights installed in poor locations.
Our repair process starts with identifying the actual problem. Many homeowners think they need new skylights when the issue is fixable with proper flashing or seal replacement. We provide honest assessments and recommend the most cost-effective solution.
Sometimes the skylight unit itself is beyond repair and needs replacement. We can often upgrade to a better Velux model during replacement, improving both performance and energy efficiency. Our repairs come with the same guarantee as new installations.
Fixed skylights don’t open—they’re designed purely for natural light. They’re less expensive, have fewer potential leak points, and work well in areas where ventilation isn’t needed. Most of our New Cassel installations are fixed skylights for living rooms, kitchens, and hallways.
Vented skylights open for fresh air circulation and can help reduce cooling costs in summer. They’re ideal for bathrooms, bedrooms, or any space that benefits from natural ventilation. Solar-powered vented skylights open automatically when indoor temperature rises.
The choice depends on your specific needs and budget. Vented skylights cost more initially but provide additional comfort benefits. Both types use the same quality Velux frames and glass, so you get the same durability and weather resistance regardless of which style you choose.
