Your dark rooms become spaces where natural light pours in all day long. No more reaching for light switches at 2 PM or dealing with rooms that feel closed off from the outside world.
Energy bills drop because you’re not running lights during daylight hours. Quality skylights with proper ventilation also reduce the load on your HVAC system, especially in those stuffy upstairs rooms that never seem to cool down.
You avoid the nightmare of water stains on your ceiling and expensive repairs. When skylights are installed correctly the first time, they protect your home instead of threatening it.
We’ve been the go-to skylight contractor for Northport families since 2001. We’re not the guys who show up, do a quick job, and disappear when problems arise.
As a family-owned business, we understand that your home represents your family’s security and comfort. Every skylight installation we complete has to meet the standard we’d want for our own homes.
We’ve repaired too many botched skylight jobs from contractors who didn’t understand proper flashing techniques or rushed through installations. Our approach is straightforward: do the work right, use quality materials, and stand behind every job.
We start by evaluating your roof structure and understanding exactly what you want to achieve. Whether you need a VELUX fixed skylight for maximum light, a venting skylight for fresh air, or sun tunnel installation in tight spaces, we recommend the right solution.
The installation itself focuses on creating a permanent waterproof seal. We cut the roof opening precisely, install multi-layered flashing systems, and position the skylight unit with the care it deserves. This is where most contractors cut corners – we don’t.
Interior finishing includes proper drywall work and trim installation that looks like it belongs. We clean up completely and show you how to operate any moving parts or controls. You get a finished project that enhances your home’s value and functionality.

Our skylight services cover everything from new installations to emergency leak repairs. We specialize in VELUX skylights because they’re engineered for coastal conditions like we have here in Northport – salt air, wind-driven rain, and temperature swings.
Whether you want to brighten a dark kitchen, add ventilation to a stuffy bathroom, or create dramatic lighting in a living space, we match the right skylight to your specific needs. Flat roof skylights, custom skylight fitting, and sun tunnel installations are all part of what we do.
We also handle skylight repair and replacement for units that other contractors couldn’t fix properly. Sometimes a simple flashing repair solves the problem. Other times, skylight replacement is the most cost-effective long-term solution.
Professional skylight installation in Northport typically ranges from $1,000 to $3,000, depending on the skylight type, roof complexity, and any interior finishing work required. VELUX skylights cost more upfront but deliver better long-term value through energy savings and durability.
Your total investment includes the skylight unit, proper flashing materials, interior work, and skilled installation. We provide detailed written estimates that break down every cost so there are no surprises.
Cheap installations often become expensive problems. We regularly repair skylights that were installed poorly by contractors who underbid jobs and cut corners to make a profit.
The truth is that most skylight leaks aren’t caused by bad weather – they’re caused by poor installation. Three out of four skylight leaks we repair are the result of improper flashing, inadequate sealing, or contractors who don’t understand skylight-specific techniques.
We prevent leaks by following manufacturer installation standards exactly. This means proper flashing integration, multiple layers of water protection, and taking the time to create seals that will last decades, not just pass a quick inspection.
The biggest mistake we see is contractors who rely on caulk and tar instead of proper flashing systems. These quick fixes might stop immediate leaks but create bigger problems when water gets trapped and finds new paths into your home.
VELUX skylights are engineered specifically for performance and longevity. Over 90% of their products meet ENERGY STAR requirements, and they back their skylights with industry-leading warranties – 10 years on installation, 20 years on glass, and 10 years on the product itself.
The quality difference is in the details: tempered glass that handles weather extremes, advanced flashing systems that integrate properly with roofing materials, and options like solar-powered shades and smart home integration that cheaper brands don’t offer.
After twenty years of installing different skylight brands, we’ve seen which ones hold up to Long Island weather and which ones become problems. VELUX consistently performs better, which is why we recommend them for clients who want long-term value.
Yes, we install flat roof skylights using curb-mounted systems specifically designed for low-slope applications. These installations require different waterproofing techniques and specialized flashing to ensure proper drainage and weather protection.
Flat roof skylight installation involves building a raised curb that prevents water pooling and integrating the flashing with your existing roof membrane. We use VELUX flat roof products that are engineered specifically for these challenging applications.
Many contractors avoid flat roof skylights because they’re more complex and require specialized knowledge. We have the experience and proper materials to handle these installations correctly, preventing the leak issues that commonly occur with flat roof penetrations.
Quality skylights can reduce energy consumption by 20-60% through natural lighting and improved ventilation. You’ll notice the difference immediately in rooms that no longer need artificial lighting during daylight hours.
VELUX skylights with Low-E glass help regulate indoor temperatures year-round. They let in warming sunlight during winter while preventing heat loss, and provide natural light in summer without excessive heat gain that makes your air conditioning work harder.
The key is proper sizing and placement. We calculate the right skylight size based on room dimensions and existing windows to maximize energy benefits without creating temperature control issues. A properly designed skylight installation pays for itself through energy savings over time.
Professionally installed VELUX skylights typically last 20-30 years with minimal maintenance. The glass carries a 20-year warranty, and the overall product warranty covers 10 years when installed by certified contractors like us.
Installation quality makes the biggest difference in skylight lifespan. Poor installation can cause problems within months, while professional installation ensures decades of leak-free performance and energy efficiency.
Maintenance is minimal – occasional cleaning and checking seals annually. We provide simple maintenance guidelines that help your skylights perform optimally throughout their lifespan. Quality skylights are designed to be low-maintenance while delivering consistent performance year after year.
