Your home transforms when natural light floods those dark hallways, bathrooms, and living spaces. Skylights deliver up to four times more light than windows of the same size, cutting your daytime electricity use while making every room feel bigger and more welcoming.
But here’s what really matters: you get this transformation without the constant worry about leaks. When skylights are installed correctly with proper flashing and sealing, they become a permanent asset that adds value to your home instead of a maintenance nightmare.
The difference shows up immediately in your comfort and gradually in your energy bills. Natural light reduces your dependence on artificial lighting during the day, while proper ventilation options help regulate temperature naturally.
We’ve been solving Long Island’s skylight challenges for over 22 years. We’re not the new company learning on your roof—we’re the family-owned business that’s seen every type of skylight problem and mastered the solutions.
Our reputation in Suffolk County comes from doing what others often skip: taking the time to install flashing correctly, using quality materials, and standing behind our work with warranties. When you call us, you’re getting contractors who understand that a skylight installation is only successful if it never leaks.
We’ve handled everything from simple sun tunnel installations to complex custom skylight fitting on flat roofs throughout Northwest Landing and the surrounding areas.
We start with a thorough roof inspection to determine the best skylight placement and identify any structural considerations. This isn’t a quick glance—we’re checking roof integrity, measuring for proper sizing, and planning the installation to avoid future problems.
Next comes the precision work: cutting the opening, installing proper flashing systems, and fitting your chosen skylight with attention to every seal and connection point. Whether you’re getting Velux skylights, sun tunnels, or custom solutions, each installation follows manufacturer specifications plus our own quality standards.
The final step involves testing for leaks, cleaning up completely, and walking you through your new skylight’s features. You get a warranty on our installation work, so you can enjoy the natural light with confidence.

Our skylight services cover every scenario Long Island homeowners face. New installations include fixed skylights for maximum light, venting skylights for airflow, and sun tunnels for spaces where traditional skylights won’t work—like interior bathrooms or closets.
For existing skylights, we handle leak repairs, flashing replacement, glass replacement, and complete skylight replacement when repair isn’t cost-effective. We work with all major brands, though we particularly recommend Velux skylights for their reliability and warranty coverage.
Northwest Landing’s varied housing stock—from ranch homes to two-story colonials—means we regularly work on different roof types and configurations. Flat roof skylights require different techniques than pitched roofs, and we’re experienced with both. Custom skylight fitting ensures your installation works perfectly with your home’s specific architecture and your family’s lighting needs.
Most single skylight installations take 4-6 hours to complete, depending on your roof type and the specific skylight model. Sun tunnel installations are typically faster, often completed in 2-3 hours.
We schedule installations during good weather to ensure proper sealing and give adequate time for each step. Rush jobs lead to problems later, so we focus on doing the installation right rather than fast. You’ll have your new skylight bringing in natural light the same day we start work.
Skylight leaks typically stem from improper flashing installation, worn seals, or poor initial installation. The flashing—the metal barrier that connects the skylight to your roof—is the most critical component for preventing water infiltration.
We prevent leaks by using step flashing techniques that channel water around and away from the skylight opening. Every seal gets proper attention, and we test our installations before considering the job complete. Quality materials and following manufacturer specifications exactly make the difference between a skylight that lasts decades and one that causes problems within months.
Velux skylights offer excellent value for Long Island homeowners because they’re engineered for our climate conditions. They come with industry-leading warranties—10 years on installation, 20 years on glass, and built-in features like solar-powered shades.
The energy efficiency benefits show up in both summer and winter. In summer, venting skylights help hot air escape naturally. In winter, the natural light provides warmth and reduces your need for artificial lighting during shorter days. The upfront investment typically pays for itself through energy savings and increased home value.
Yes, flat roof skylights are definitely possible and we install them regularly throughout Suffolk County. Flat roof installations require different techniques than pitched roofs, particularly for drainage and weatherproofing.
We use curb-mounted skylights designed specifically for flat applications, with proper sloping to direct water away from the opening. The flashing system is more complex on flat roofs, but when done correctly, these installations are just as reliable as pitched roof skylights. Many homeowners prefer flat roof skylights because they’re less visible from the street while providing excellent overhead lighting.
Sun tunnels are tubular skylights that channel light through a reflective tunnel from your roof to interior spaces where traditional skylights won’t work. They’re perfect for hallways, closets, bathrooms, or any interior room without direct roof access.
Traditional skylights provide more light and can offer ventilation options, but they require direct roof-to-ceiling access. Sun tunnels are less expensive, install faster, and work in spaces where conventional skylights are impossible. Both have their place—we help you choose based on your specific room layout and lighting goals.
Visible water stains, condensation between glass panes, drafts around the frame, or actual water dripping during rain all indicate problems that need immediate attention. Minor issues like worn seals or small flashing problems can often be repaired cost-effectively.
However, if the skylight frame is damaged, the glass is cracked, or you’re dealing with recurring leaks despite previous repair attempts, replacement usually makes more financial sense. We provide honest assessments—sometimes a $200 repair saves you from a $1500 replacement, and sometimes spending money on repairs just delays the inevitable. Our inspection will give you the real story about your skylight’s condition.
