Your mornings start with natural sunlight streaming through properly installed skylights. No more switching on lights during the day or dealing with dark, cramped spaces that feel smaller than they are.
Energy costs drop because you’re using the sun instead of electricity to light your home. Your HVAC system works less when vented skylights help regulate temperature and improve air circulation naturally.
Water damage becomes a non-issue when skylights are installed correctly the first time, with proper flashing and weatherproofing that actually works.

We handle everything from new skylight installations to emergency leak repairs. Whether you need a single sun tunnel for a dark hallway or multiple skylights for a major renovation, we’ve got the experience to do it right.
Wainscott’s coastal location means your skylights face salt air, high winds, and temperature swings that can compromise inferior installations. We use marine-grade flashing and premium sealants that stand up to Long Island’s unique weather challenges.
Our services include Velux skylight installation, custom skylight fitting for older homes, flat roof skylight solutions, leak repair and resealing, sun tunnel installation for tight spaces, and complete skylight replacement when repairs aren’t cost-effective.
Skylight installation in Wainscott typically ranges from $1,500 to $4,500 per skylight, depending on size, type, and roof complexity. Fixed skylights cost less than vented models, while features like remote controls or rain sensors increase the price.
The total includes the skylight unit, professional installation, proper flashing, interior finishing, and cleanup. We provide detailed written estimates that break down all costs upfront, so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
Factors that affect pricing include your roof’s pitch and accessibility, whether structural modifications are needed, the type of interior finishing you want, and any additional features like blinds or automated controls.
Most skylight leaks come from improper installation, particularly faulty flashing around the skylight’s perimeter. Poor-quality sealants, damaged weatherstripping, and age-related deterioration also cause leaks.
We prevent leaks by using step flashing that’s properly integrated with your roof’s existing water management system. Our installations include multiple layers of protection: ice and water shield, proper flashing, high-grade sealants, and careful attention to drainage patterns.
Regular maintenance helps too. We recommend annual inspections to check sealants and flashing, especially after major storms. Catching small issues early prevents expensive water damage repairs later.
Yes, we specialize in flat roof skylight installations using curb-mounted systems designed specifically for low-slope applications. These skylights sit on a raised curb that ensures proper drainage and prevents water pooling.
Flat roof skylights require different installation techniques than pitched roof models. We build custom curbs, install specialized flashing systems, and use membrane-compatible sealants that work with your existing roof system.
The process takes slightly longer than pitched roof installations because we need to ensure perfect water drainage. However, flat roof skylights often provide better light distribution and can be easier to maintain once properly installed.
Yes, we provide 24/7 emergency skylight leak repair throughout Wainscott and Long Island. Skylight leaks can cause serious water damage quickly, so we respond fast to minimize interior damage.
Our emergency service includes temporary leak stoppage, damage assessment, and permanent repairs. We carry common repair materials on our trucks and can often fix minor leaks immediately.
For major repairs requiring parts or extensive work, we’ll secure the area with temporary weatherproofing and schedule permanent repairs as soon as materials arrive. We work with your insurance company when storm damage is involved.
Velux skylights are the industry standard for quality, durability, and energy efficiency. They feature superior weatherproofing, better insulation values, and longer warranties than most competitors.
Velux offers the widest range of sizes, styles, and options, from basic fixed units to solar-powered vented models with rain sensors. Their flashing systems are engineered to work with different roof materials and provide reliable leak protection.
We recommend Velux because they back their products with comprehensive warranties and provide excellent technical support. The higher upfront cost pays for itself through better energy efficiency, fewer repairs, and longer service life.
Quality skylights like Velux typically last 15-20 years with proper installation and maintenance. However, skylights in harsh coastal environments may need attention sooner due to salt air and storm exposure.
Signs it’s time for replacement include frequent leaks that return after repairs, fogged glass between panes, damaged frames that can’t be repaired, and outdated single-pane units that waste energy.
Sometimes replacement makes more financial sense than repeated repairs. If your skylight is over 15 years old and having multiple issues, a new energy-efficient model often costs less long-term than ongoing maintenance and higher utility bills.
