Your home gets the natural light you want without the water damage you don’t. Professional skylight installation means rooms that feel bigger and brighter while your energy bills stay manageable.
When skylights are installed correctly, you stop worrying about the next storm. No more buckets in the hallway or stained ceilings that need repainting every few years.
The right skylight in the right spot transforms how your home feels. Morning coffee gets better when natural light fills your kitchen, and evening dinners feel warmer when sunset streams through properly positioned glass.
We’ve been handling skylight projects across Westhampton and the surrounding Long Island communities for years. We understand how coastal weather affects roofing materials and what it takes to keep skylights sealed against nor’easters and summer storms.
Our team specializes in both new skylight installation and fixing the problems other contractors leave behind. When you’re dealing with a roof that’s 20 feet off the ground and weather that changes fast, experience matters.
We’re licensed, insured, and local. That means when you call about a leak or need a follow-up, we’re not driving from three towns over to get to you.
First, we inspect your roof to understand what you’re working with. Every roof is different, and the skylight that works great on your neighbor’s house might not be right for yours. We measure, check the framing, and make sure the installation will actually work long-term.
Next comes the installation itself. We cut the opening precisely, install proper flashing systems, and seal everything according to manufacturer specifications. This isn’t a weekend DIY project – it’s structural work that affects your home’s weather protection.
After installation, we test everything. We run water over the flashing, check the seals, and make sure the skylight operates smoothly. You get a walkthrough of what we did and what to expect as your new skylight settles into place.

We handle every type of skylight project Westhampton homeowners need. New Velux skylight installation for kitchen remodels or additions. Emergency leak repair when storms damage existing skylights. Complete skylight replacement when old units finally give up.
Sun tunnel installation brings natural light to interior bathrooms and hallways where traditional skylights won’t work. Custom skylight fitting handles unique architectural situations where standard sizes don’t fit. Flat roof skylights require different installation techniques that we’ve mastered through years of local projects.
Long Island’s weather is tough on roofing materials. Salt air, temperature swings, and storm exposure mean skylight flashing and seals need to be installed right the first time. We use materials and techniques that hold up to what nature throws at coastal properties.
Most single skylight installations take one full day, weather permitting. We start early, complete the roofing work while conditions are dry, and have your home sealed up before evening.
Larger projects or multiple skylights might take two days, especially if we’re coordinating with other trades for kitchen or bathroom remodels. We always plan installations around weather forecasts – there’s no point starting a roof opening project if rain is coming.
Complex installations like sun tunnels through multiple floors or custom skylights for unique roof angles can take longer. We’ll give you a realistic timeline upfront and keep you updated if anything changes during the work.
Most skylight leaks happen because the flashing wasn’t installed correctly in the first place. Flashing is the metal and membrane system that directs water around the skylight instead of letting it seep into your roof structure.
Poor flashing installation is the biggest culprit, followed by using the wrong materials for Long Island’s weather conditions. Cheap sealants break down fast in temperature swings, and inadequate flashing can’t handle heavy rain or ice dams.
We prevent leaks by using proper flashing techniques, quality materials rated for coastal conditions, and installation methods that account for how water moves across your specific roof slope. Every skylight gets tested with running water before we consider the job complete.
Velux skylights cost more upfront but save money over time through better energy efficiency and longer lifespan. Their low-E glass coatings reduce heat gain in summer and heat loss in winter, which shows up in your utility bills.
The build quality is noticeably better – stronger frames, better seals, and hardware that operates smoothly for years. Velux also offers longer warranties and has replacement parts available when you need them down the road.
Cheaper skylights often need replacement or major repairs within 10-15 years. Velux skylights regularly last 20+ years with minimal maintenance. When you factor in the energy savings and avoid early replacement costs, the math usually works in favor of quality upfront.
Yes, but flat roof skylights require different installation techniques and materials than sloped roof installations. Water doesn’t run off flat roofs the same way, so the flashing and drainage systems need to be more robust.
We use curb-mounted skylights for flat roofs, which sit on a raised frame that elevates the skylight above the roof membrane. This prevents water from pooling around the glass and creates positive drainage away from the opening.
Flat roof skylight installation also requires coordination with your roof membrane system – whether it’s EPDM, TPO, or modified bitumen. The flashing needs to integrate properly with whatever waterproofing system is already protecting your roof structure.
Emergency skylight repairs get priority scheduling, especially when active leaks are damaging your home’s interior. We carry materials for temporary weatherproofing and can usually stop active leaks within hours of your call.
For storm damage repairs, we first secure the area to prevent further water intrusion, then assess what needs permanent repair versus temporary patching. Sometimes the skylight itself is fine but the flashing got damaged by wind or debris.
We work with insurance companies regularly on storm damage claims and can document the damage properly for your adjuster. Most skylight storm repairs are covered under homeowner’s policies, and we can help navigate that process while getting your home protected quickly.
Sun tunnels bring natural light to interior spaces where traditional skylights won’t work – like hallways, closets, or bathrooms in the middle of your home. They use reflective tubing to carry light from a small roof opening down to interior rooms.
Installation is less invasive than full skylights since the roof opening is much smaller and there’s no large interior opening to frame. Sun tunnels work well for spaces that need light but not the full sky view that comes with traditional skylights.
The light output isn’t as dramatic as a full skylight, but sun tunnels eliminate the need for daytime electric lighting in many interior spaces. They’re also more affordable than skylights and can often be installed in spaces where skylights aren’t structurally feasible.
