You’re tired of dark rooms that feel cramped and unwelcoming. You want natural light that transforms your space without the headache of leaks or sky-high energy bills.
When we install your skylights properly the first time, you get rooms flooded with natural light that reduce your need for artificial lighting during the day. Your home feels bigger, brighter, and more welcoming. Plus, you’ll see the difference on your energy bills when you’re not constantly flipping switches to brighten up dark spaces.
The right skylight installation also improves air circulation, reducing humidity and cooking odors while adding real value to your home. No more living in the dark or dealing with stuffy indoor air.
We’ve been solving Long Island’s skylight problems for over two decades. We’re a family-owned company that’s seen every skylight issue you can imagine, from ancient leaky units to botched installations by other contractors.
What sets us apart in Yaphank and Suffolk County is simple: we know that most skylight problems aren’t actually the skylight’s fault. Three out of four skylight leaks we repair are caused by installation issues, not the skylight itself. That’s why we focus on getting the installation right the first time.
We’re fully licensed, bonded, and insured, and we stand behind every job with manufacturer warranties. When you call us, you’re getting contractors who understand Long Island’s weather patterns and have the experience to handle everything from emergency repairs to custom installations.
First, we inspect your existing skylights or assess where you want new ones installed. We’re looking for the real source of any problems, not just quick fixes that’ll fail in six months. Most contractors slap some flashing on and call it done, but we dig deeper to find the actual cause.
Next, we explain exactly what needs to happen and why. If it’s a repair, we’ll tell you whether you need new flashing, a replacement top, or a complete unit replacement. For new installations, we’ll walk you through the best placement for maximum light and energy efficiency.
Then we do the work right. We use proper sealing techniques, quality materials, and installation methods that account for Long Island’s weather. Every skylight gets leak-tested before we consider the job complete. You get a warranty that means something and peace of mind that the work will last.

We handle everything from emergency leak repairs to custom skylight installations. Our services include Velux skylight installation and repair, sun tunnel systems for tight spaces, flat roof skylights, and complete skylight replacements when repairs aren’t enough.
In Yaphank’s climate, skylights face unique challenges from nor’easters, heavy snow loads, and temperature swings. We use installation techniques specifically designed for Long Island conditions, including proper flashing systems and ice dam prevention measures that many contractors skip.
Whether you’re dealing with a leaky skylight that’s been driving you crazy or you want to add natural light to a dark room, we provide solutions that work. We offer 24/7 emergency service because we know skylight leaks don’t wait for business hours, and we beat any written quote while maintaining the highest quality standards.
Skylight installation costs in Yaphank typically range from $1,000 to $4,000 per skylight, depending on size, type, and complexity of the installation. Basic fixed skylights cost less than venting models with remote controls or solar-powered features.
The total cost includes the skylight unit itself, which ranges from $500 to $2,500, plus installation labor of $500 to $1,500. Factors that affect pricing include roof complexity, interior finishing work needed, and whether you’re installing on a flat roof or pitched roof. We provide detailed written estimates that break down all costs so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
Most skylight leaks aren’t caused by the skylight itself – they’re caused by improper installation or flashing failures. Three out of four skylight leaks we repair are due to installation issues, not skylight defects.
Common causes include inadequate flashing around the skylight frame, improper sealing where the skylight meets the roof, and ice dam formation during winter months. Poor installation techniques like using tar instead of proper flashing systems create problems that show up months or years later. The key to preventing leaks is professional installation with proper flashing systems designed for Long Island’s weather conditions, including ice and water shield barriers and step flashing that channels water away from the skylight opening.
The decision depends on the age of your skylight and the source of the leak. If your skylight is less than 15 years old and the leak is coming from flashing or sealing issues, repair is usually the better option.
However, if the skylight dome is cracked, the frame is warped, or you’re dealing with an older plastic skylight that’s yellowed or brittle, replacement makes more sense. Older skylights often lack modern energy efficiency features and may continue having problems even after repairs. We’ll inspect your skylight thoroughly and give you an honest assessment of whether repair or replacement is the better long-term solution. Sometimes a $300 repair saves you from a $2,000 replacement, but other times spending money on repairs for a failing unit just delays the inevitable.
For Yaphank’s climate with cold winters and humid summers, we recommend double-glazed skylights with Low-E coatings and argon gas fill for maximum energy efficiency. Velux skylights perform exceptionally well here because they’re designed for harsh weather conditions.
Venting skylights work great for bathrooms and kitchens where you want to remove humidity, while fixed skylights are perfect for living areas where you just want natural light. For areas with limited roof space, sun tunnels provide natural light without the complexity of full skylights. The key is proper installation with ice and water shield barriers and flashing systems designed to handle snow loads and ice dam formation common in Suffolk County winters.
Most single skylight installations take one to two days, depending on the complexity of the job and whether interior finishing work is needed. The actual skylight installation usually takes 4-6 hours, but we factor in time for proper flashing installation and interior drywall work.
Weather can affect timing – we won’t install skylights during rain or high winds because proper sealing requires dry conditions. For multiple skylights or complex installations involving structural modifications, the job might take 2-3 days. We always provide realistic timelines upfront and keep you informed if weather or unexpected conditions affect the schedule. Our goal is to complete the work efficiently while ensuring every detail is done right.
Yes, we provide 24/7 emergency skylight repair services throughout Yaphank and Suffolk County. Skylight leaks can cause serious water damage quickly, especially during storms, so we respond to emergency calls any time of day or night.
Emergency repairs typically involve temporary weatherproofing to stop immediate water intrusion, followed by permanent repairs once conditions allow. We carry emergency materials on our trucks and can provide temporary solutions like emergency tarping or plastic sheeting to protect your home until proper repairs can be made. Our emergency service covers everything from storm damage to sudden leaks that develop during heavy rain. We understand that skylight emergencies don’t wait for convenient times, which is why we maintain 24/7 availability for our Long Island customers.
