You know that feeling when natural light floods a room that’s been dark for years. That’s what happens when skylights are installed correctly—no leaks, no drafts, just pure sunlight streaming in exactly where you need it.
Your energy bills drop because you’re not flipping on lights during the day. The air feels fresher because quality skylights provide ventilation that actually works. And your home value increases because buyers see professional installation that won’t cause problems down the road.
The difference between a skylight that enhances your home and one that becomes a headache is simple: proper installation by certified professionals who know what they’re doing.
We’ve been installing and repairing skylights across North Hempstead for over 20 years. We’re fully licensed, bonded, and insured—not because we have to be, but because your investment deserves that protection.
We’re VELUX-certified installers, which means we’ve completed advanced training on the industry’s most trusted skylight systems. When we install your skylight, it comes with VELUX’s 10-year installation warranty plus our own leak-free guarantee.
North Hempstead homes face unique challenges—from coastal weather to older roof structures—and we’ve solved them all. We beat any written quote because we know our work speaks for itself.
First, we inspect your roof structure and discuss exactly where you want natural light. We measure everything twice because precision matters when you’re cutting into a roof.
Next, we carefully cut the opening and install proper flashing—this is where most contractors cut corners, but it’s the most critical step for preventing leaks. We use VELUX’s engineered flashing system, not generic materials that fail in a few years.
Then we install your skylight with weatherproof sealing and test everything before we call it complete. We clean up completely and walk you through how your new skylight operates. The whole process typically takes one day, and you’ll have natural light streaming in by evening.

Every skylight we install comes with pre-installed solar-powered shades for instant light control. You get VELUX’s industry-leading warranty: 10 years on installation, 20 years on glass, 10 years on the product itself.
North Hempstead’s coastal climate demands skylights that can handle salt air, temperature swings, and heavy rain. VELUX skylights are engineered for exactly these conditions—they’re tested to withstand 110 mph winds and driving rain.
Whether you need a fixed skylight for pure light, a venting model for fresh air circulation, or a sun tunnel for tight spaces, we match the right solution to your specific room and roof type. Every installation includes our leak-free guarantee because that’s simply how we do business.
Skylight installation in North Hempstead typically ranges from $2,500 to $6,000, depending on the type of skylight, your roof structure, and finishing details. Fixed skylights cost less than venting models, and solar-powered options are at the higher end but offer the best long-term value.
Your roof type affects pricing—asphalt shingle installations are straightforward, while slate or tile roofs require more careful work. We provide detailed estimates that break down exactly what you’re paying for, with no surprise charges.
We beat any written quote, so if you’ve gotten estimates elsewhere, bring them to us. Most homeowners find our combination of certified installation, premium materials, and comprehensive warranties offers the best value in the area.
VELUX skylights are engineered differently—they’re built to last decades, not just a few years. The flashing system is designed specifically for each roof type, which prevents the leaks that plague generic skylights.
Every VELUX skylight now comes with pre-installed solar-powered shades, rain sensors on venting models, and smart home integration options. The glass is dual-pane with Low-E coating for energy efficiency, and the frames are designed to expand and contract without breaking seals.
The warranty tells the real story: 20 years on glass, 10 years on the product, and 10 years on installation when installed by certified professionals like us. Generic skylights typically offer 1-3 year warranties because they know the products won’t last longer than that.
If you see water stains around your skylight, feel drafts, or notice condensation between glass panes, you need professional evaluation. Many homeowners think they need full replacement when repair might solve the problem.
However, skylights over 15 years old or those that have leaked multiple times usually need replacement. Old plastic skylights are particularly prone to cracking and seal failure—upgrading to modern VELUX units eliminates these recurring problems.
We provide honest assessments because our reputation depends on solving problems permanently, not selling unnecessary work. During our free inspection, we’ll show you exactly what’s wrong and explain whether repair or replacement makes more sense for your situation.
Yes, but flat roof skylights require specialized installation techniques and different products than sloped roof applications. VELUX makes specific flat roof skylights with curb-mounting systems designed for proper drainage and weatherproofing.
The key is creating proper slope for water runoff and using commercial-grade flashing systems. Many contractors avoid flat roof skylights because they’re more complex, but we’ve installed hundreds across Long Island’s diverse roof types.
Flat roof skylights actually offer some advantages—easier access for maintenance, better light distribution, and options for larger sizes. We’ll evaluate your roof structure and recommend the best approach for your specific application.
Quality skylights require minimal maintenance when properly installed. You should clean the glass annually and check that drainage channels around the frame stay clear of debris like leaves or dirt.
VELUX skylights with solar-powered shades are virtually maintenance-free—the shades recharge automatically and the rain sensors keep water out of venting models. The biggest maintenance issue we see is homeowners neglecting to clear debris that blocks proper drainage.
We recommend annual inspections, especially after severe weather. Small issues caught early prevent major problems later. As part of our service, we offer maintenance inspections to keep your skylights performing optimally for decades.
Most single skylight installations take one full day from start to finish. This includes cutting the roof opening, installing flashing, mounting the skylight, and completing interior finishing work.
Multiple skylights or complex roof structures may require additional time. Weather delays are possible since we won’t compromise installation quality by working in rain or high winds—proper sealing requires dry conditions.
We schedule installations with buffer time so you’re not left with an open roof if unexpected issues arise. Our crews arrive prepared with all materials and complete the job in one visit whenever possible. You’ll have natural light streaming in by the end of the day.
