Skylight Installation Process Shelter Island Heights

Straightforward Process, Professional Results

We start with a thorough inspection of your roof structure and discuss exactly what you want to achieve. Some homeowners want maximum light, others need ventilation, and many want both. We help you choose the right VELUX skylight for your specific needs and budget.

Next comes the installation. We handle everything from cutting the opening to installing the flashing system that keeps water out. Our team coordinates the exterior work with interior finishing, so you’re not left with an open hole in your ceiling.

The final step is testing and cleanup. We check every seal, test the operation if you’ve chosen a venting skylight, and make sure your home is cleaner than when we arrived. You get a warranty that covers both the product and our installation work.

VELUX Skylights Shelter Island Heights NY

Complete Skylight Solutions for Island Living

We handle new skylight installation, repairs, and complete replacements using VELUX products exclusively. These aren’t the cheap plastic skylights that crack and leak. VELUX skylights are built with tempered glass and engineered flashing systems designed for Long Island’s weather.

Your options include fixed skylights for maximum light, venting skylights for fresh air circulation, and sun tunnels for spaces where traditional skylights won’t work. Many Shelter Island Heights homeowners choose solar-powered options that open and close automatically, even when you’re off-island.

Every installation includes proper permits, professional-grade materials, and coordination with your existing roof system. We work with asphalt shingles, slate, and metal roofing common in the Heights area. The result is a skylight that enhances your home’s value while providing decades of trouble-free operation.

How much does skylight installation cost in Shelter Island Heights?

Skylight installation in Shelter Island Heights typically ranges from $2,500 to $6,000 per skylight, depending on size, type, and complexity. VELUX fixed skylights start at the lower end, while solar-powered venting skylights with smart controls cost more.

The investment includes the skylight unit, professional installation, proper flashing, interior finishing, and permits. Many homeowners find that the energy savings and increased home value justify the cost, especially given Shelter Island Heights’ high property values. We provide detailed estimates that break down all costs upfront, so you know exactly what you’re paying for.

Skylight repair works when the issue is with flashing, seals, or minor glass damage. Common repairs include resealing around the frame, replacing damaged flashing, or fixing operating mechanisms on venting skylights. These repairs typically cost $450 to $1,000.

Replacement is necessary when the skylight glass is cracked, the frame is warped, or the unit is simply too old to repair effectively. Older plastic skylights often need complete replacement because the material becomes brittle and prone to cracking. We’ll inspect your skylight and give you an honest assessment of whether repair or replacement makes more sense for your situation and budget.

Water stains on your ceiling or walls around the skylight are the most obvious signs. You might also notice dripping during heavy rain, condensation that doesn’t clear up, or drafts coming from the skylight area.

Sometimes the leak isn’t coming from the skylight itself but from damaged roof materials nearby. That’s why professional diagnosis is important. We use moisture meters and visual inspection to pinpoint the exact source of water intrusion. Many homeowners are surprised to learn that what looks like a skylight leak is actually a roofing issue that’s much less expensive to fix.

Most roof types can accommodate skylights, but the installation method varies. Asphalt shingle roofs are the most straightforward, while slate, tile, and metal roofing require specialized techniques and materials.

Roof pitch is also a factor. Very flat roofs need curb-mounted skylights with different flashing systems, while steep roofs may require additional safety measures during installation. We evaluate your specific roof structure, materials, and pitch to recommend the best skylight type and installation method. Our experience with Shelter Island Heights’ diverse architecture means we’ve handled everything from Victorian slate to modern metal roofing.

Yes, VELUX skylights include comprehensive warranty coverage. You get 20 years on the glass, 10 years on the skylight product itself, and 5 years on shades and controls. We also provide a 10-year installation warranty on our workmanship.

This warranty coverage is one reason we exclusively install VELUX products. They stand behind their skylights with real warranty support, not just empty promises. If you have a warranty issue, we handle the coordination with VELUX so you don’t have to deal with manufacturer bureaucracy. This level of coverage gives you confidence that your investment is protected for years to come.

Most single skylight installations take one to two days, depending on complexity. The first day involves cutting the roof opening, installing the skylight and flashing system, and weather-sealing everything. The second day typically handles interior work like drywall finishing and paint touch-ups.

Weather can affect the timeline since we won’t leave your roof open during storms. We coordinate our schedule with Shelter Island’s ferry times and plan installations when weather conditions are favorable. Multiple skylights or complex installations may take longer, but we’ll give you a realistic timeline upfront and keep you informed if anything changes.
