Your home deserves natural light that actually works. Professional skylights don’t just brighten dark rooms—they cut your electricity costs by reducing the need for artificial lighting during the day.
When installed correctly, skylights improve ventilation and air circulation, helping regulate temperature naturally. You’ll notice the difference in both comfort and your monthly utility bills.
The right skylight installation also adds real value to your property, creating architectural interest that buyers appreciate when it’s time to sell.

We handle every type of skylight project in Stewart Manor. New installations include Velux skylights, sun tunnels, flat roof skylights, and custom fitting for unique spaces.
Our repair services cover leak fixes, flashing replacement, glass replacement, and complete skylight replacement when needed. Stewart Manor’s weather can be tough on roofing systems, so we use materials designed to handle Long Island’s climate.
Emergency repairs are available 24/7/365 because skylight leaks don’t wait for business hours. We’ll stop the water intrusion quickly, then provide a permanent solution that prevents future problems.
Skylight installation typically ranges from $1,000 to $4,000+ depending on the size, type, and complexity of your roof. Fixed skylights cost less than vented models, and larger units require more labor.
The total includes the skylight unit, flashing materials, interior finishing, and professional installation. We provide detailed written estimates that break down all costs, and we guarantee to beat any written competitor quote.
Factors affecting price include roof pitch, accessibility, whether structural modifications are needed, and the specific skylight features you choose. Velux skylights may qualify for a 26% Federal Tax Credit, which can significantly reduce your net cost.
Most skylight leaks result from improper installation, particularly poor flashing work around the skylight frame. Damaged or corroded flashing allows water to seep behind the skylight and into your home.
Other common causes include settling that shifts the skylight position, cracked glass, worn seals, and debris buildup that prevents proper drainage. Age and weather exposure gradually break down sealing materials.
We prevent leaks through proper flashing installation, high-quality sealants, and precise fitting that accounts for thermal expansion. Every installation includes a comprehensive waterproofing system designed specifically for Long Island’s weather conditions. We guarantee leak-free results.
Most leaking skylights can be repaired if the structural components are still sound. Repair costs typically range from $450 to $1,000 depending on the extent of damage and required work.
We start with a thorough inspection to identify the leak source—whether it’s flashing, seals, glass, or surrounding roof issues. Simple seal replacement or flashing repair often solves the problem permanently.
However, if the skylight frame is damaged, the glass is cracked, or there’s extensive water damage to surrounding areas, replacement becomes more cost-effective. We’ll give you honest recommendations based on what we find during inspection.
Yes, we’re experienced Velux skylight installers serving Stewart Manor and all of Long Island. Velux is the industry leader in skylight technology, offering superior quality and innovative features.
Velux options include fixed skylights for maximum light, vented models for fresh air circulation, and solar-powered units that open and close automatically. They also offer sun tunnels for smaller spaces and specialized products for flat roofs.
All Velux skylights come with excellent warranties, and installations may qualify for Federal Tax Credits. We’ll help you select the right Velux products for your specific needs and ensure proper installation that maintains all warranty coverage.
Most single skylight installations are completed in one day, weather permitting. The process typically takes 4-8 hours depending on roof complexity and skylight type.
Multiple skylight installations or complex custom work may require additional time. We’ll provide a realistic timeline during your estimate and keep you informed if weather or unexpected conditions affect the schedule.
We work efficiently to minimize disruption to your daily routine while ensuring quality results. All debris is cleaned up before we leave, and interior finishing is completed the same day when possible.
Yes, we provide 24/7/365 emergency skylight repair throughout Stewart Manor and Long Island. Skylight leaks can cause serious water damage quickly, especially during storms.
Our emergency service focuses on immediately stopping water intrusion with temporary weatherproofing, then scheduling permanent repairs as soon as conditions allow. We respond quickly because we understand water damage gets worse every hour.
Emergency calls receive priority scheduling, and we carry common repair materials on our trucks for immediate fixes. While emergency rates may apply for after-hours service, stopping the leak quickly often prevents much more expensive interior damage repairs.
