Your home transforms when natural light floods in through properly installed skylights. Rooms feel twice as large and infinitely more welcoming.
You’ll notice the difference on your energy bills too. Strategic skylight placement cuts your reliance on artificial lighting and can qualify you for a 26% Federal Tax Credit. Better air circulation means less humidity, fewer cooking odors, and healthier indoor air quality.
The real payoff? Your Shelter Island home’s value increases while you enjoy living in spaces that feel connected to the outdoors year-round.
We’ve been keeping Long Island homes bright and dry since 2001. As a family-owned company, we’ve earned our reputation one properly installed skylight at a time.
Shelter Island homeowners trust us because we understand the unique challenges of coastal weather. Your investment in a $1.9 million median-priced home deserves contractors who won’t cut corners or create problems you’ll deal with for years.
We’re fully licensed, bonded, and insured. More importantly, we’re VELUX Skylight Specialists who use the advanced “No Leak” installation system that other contractors don’t even know exists.
We start with a thorough inspection of your roof structure and existing conditions. Every home is different, and Shelter Island’s coastal environment requires specific considerations for wind resistance and moisture protection.
Next, we precisely measure and cut the opening, ensuring perfectly square corners and proper structural support. Our VELUX-certified installers use advanced flashing, adhesive underlayment, and secure sealing techniques that create three layers of leak protection.
The installation includes proper interior finishing, cleanup, and a comprehensive walkthrough. You get a 10-year installation warranty plus VELUX’s industry-leading product warranties. We don’t consider the job complete until you’re completely satisfied.

Our skylight services include new installations, leak repairs, complete replacements, and emergency repairs. We work with VELUX’s full product line, from fixed skylights to solar-powered fresh air models that open and close automatically.
Shelter Island’s unique location between the North and South Forks means your skylights face specific weather challenges. Salt air, strong winds, and temperature fluctuations require premium materials and expert installation techniques.
We handle everything from sun tunnel installations in tight spaces to custom skylight fitting for historic homes. Whether you’re dealing with a leaking skylight that’s damaging your ceilings or planning a renovation that needs more natural light, we have the experience and products to solve it right the first time.
Most skylight leaks aren’t actually caused by the skylight itself. Water often finds its way under roofing materials and seeps through the roof deck around the skylight opening.
We start every leak diagnosis with a comprehensive inspection of the flashing, glass, surrounding roofing materials, and the skylight’s overall condition. The real culprits are usually damaged flashing, compromised roof penetrations, or improper installation from years ago.
Our inspection process pinpoints the exact source so you get the right repair, not an expensive guess. We’ve seen too many homeowners spend money on skylight replacements when the actual problem was fixable roof damage around the installation.
If your skylight glass is cracked or the frame is damaged beyond repair, replacement is your only option. But many leak problems can be solved with proper flashing repair, resealing, or addressing the surrounding roof issues.
We’ll give you an honest assessment of what makes financial sense. Sometimes a 15-year-old skylight in good condition just needs new flashing and sealant. Other times, upgrading to a modern VELUX skylight with energy-efficient glazing and built-in shades is the smarter long-term investment.
Our goal is solving your problem permanently, not selling you something you don’t need. We explain exactly what’s wrong and what each option will accomplish so you can make the right decision for your situation.
Absolutely, when they’re installed correctly with the right materials. VELUX skylights are engineered to withstand extreme weather conditions, including the strong winds and salt air common to Shelter Island.
The key is proper installation using advanced flashing systems and structural reinforcement. We assess your roof’s pitch, framing, and exposure to determine the best skylight type and installation method for your specific location.
Our installations include reinforced mounting, weatherproof sealing, and materials designed for coastal environments. We’ve been installing skylights on Long Island for over 22 years, so we understand exactly what it takes to keep them secure and leak-free through nor’easters and summer storms.
Skylight installation costs vary based on the type of skylight, roof complexity, and interior finishing requirements. A basic VELUX fixed skylight installation typically runs $1,500-$3,000, while solar-powered fresh air models range from $2,500-$4,500.
The investment often pays for itself through energy savings and increased home value. In Shelter Island’s premium real estate market, quality skylights can add significant value while reducing your monthly energy costs.
We provide detailed, written estimates that break down all costs so you know exactly what you’re paying for. There are no surprise charges, and we explain any variables that might affect the final price before we start work.
Our installations come with a comprehensive 10-year warranty that covers both materials and workmanship. If any leak develops due to installation issues, we return immediately to fix it at no charge.
VELUX skylights also include their own product warranties: 20 years on glass, 10 years on the skylight itself, and 5 years on shades and controls. This dual warranty protection gives you complete peace of mind.
We also provide 24/7 emergency service if you experience any issues. Our reputation depends on installations that stay leak-free for decades, not just until the check clears. That’s why we use the VELUX “No Leak” system with three layers of protection on every installation.
Most skylight installations require building permits, and Shelter Island has specific requirements for roof modifications. We handle all permit applications and inspections as part of our service.
The permit process typically takes 1-2 weeks and ensures your installation meets local building codes and wind resistance requirements. This protects your investment and ensures your homeowner’s insurance remains valid.
We’re familiar with Shelter Island’s building department requirements and maintain all necessary contractor licenses. You don’t need to worry about paperwork or code compliance—we manage the entire process from permit application through final inspection approval.
