What comes with every residential VELUX skylight: the factory solar shade and the remote. Venting units also include the insect screen. Acrylic domes and SkyMax large-format units do not come with a shade. Ask about VELUX ACTIVE with NETATMO, which opens the skylight and the shade on its own from temperature, humidity and CO2 — it works with solar and electric units and solar blinds.
Who we are

We do one thing. Skylights.

Most companies that show up for "skylight installer" in New York are roofing contractors with a skylight page. We are the opposite: a skylight company that understands roofs. That is why we can size a unit to your exact opening, tell you when a fixed unit serves you better than a venting one, and price a job the same week you call.

We supply and install for homeowners, contractors, architects and building owners across New York City, Long Island and Westchester. Whether that job is a single bedroom skylight on a Marine Park colonial or a six-unit ridge system on a Manhattan landmark, it is the same trade and the same crew.

A skylight done well changes a room the way no fixture can. Real daylight in a kitchen, fresh air in a bathroom, a bedroom that wakes up with the sun. Done poorly it is a leak waiting for a nor'easter. The difference is product selection and flashing, and both are decided before anyone climbs a ladder.

How we work

Four ways to use us.

Fix the one you have, buy the unit alone, have us handle the whole thing, or just get a straight answer before you spend anything.

Straight answers

Repair or replace?

Do you repair existing skylights, or do you only replace them?

We do both, and repair is a large part of the work. If your skylight can be repaired, we repair it. We reflash, reseal, replace cracked glass and domes, and fix motors, shades and weatherstrip. We recommend replacement only when the unit itself has failed, and we tell you which one you are looking at before you spend anything.

Do you fix skylights another company installed?

Yes. Most of what we repair is somebody else's work. We do not need to have installed it to repair it.

Is it cheaper to repair or replace a skylight?

If the unit is sound and the flashing failed, reflashing is cheaper and it is the correct fix. If the unit is past roughly twenty years, fogged, or cracked, replacement is the honest answer. On most New York buildings a large share of the cost of any roof work is getting a crew and materials up there safely, so if you are already paying for that access, replacing a marginal unit usually costs less over five years than patching it twice.

How fast can you get to a leaking skylight?

Call (718) 646-7053. Active leaks get priority and the assessment visit is free. You can also send photos through the contact form and we can usually tell you what you are looking at before anyone comes out.

Commercial & trade

Commercial work is our specialty, not our sideline.

General contractors, architects and institutions use us as both supplier and installation subcontractor. Per-unit labor-only pricing where curbs and hoisting are by others, or turnkey supply and install.

Recent work includes a six-unit VELUX ridge system for the Japanese Consulate on East 67th Street, complete with boom truck, permits and flagging. We put the lead time in writing, we submit the package as one submittal, and you get one named contact for the job.

We also replace the old galvanized steel pyramids and wire glass units still sitting on New York's schools, factories, lofts and stair bulkheads. Those frames rust from the inside out and the wire glass in them was never safety glass. We take the whole assembly out and set a thermally broken aluminum pyramid or ridge with tempered and laminated insulated glass on a rebuilt curb.

Service area

Where we work.

Our shop is on Gerritsen Avenue, so more of our skylights sit over Brooklyn rooms than anywhere else. Skylight installation in Brooklyn is mostly flat-roofed row houses that need curb-mounted units raised above ponding water, brownstones where landmark rules shape what can go in, and Marine Park colonials that take deck-mounted units on shingle. Across the water, skylight installation in Queens means attached homes, attic conversions and sun tunnels down hallways that have never had daylight.

Skylight installation in Manhattan is penthouses, co-ops and sloped glazing, where the board package and the hoisting plan matter as much as the glass. Skylight installation in the Bronx and skylight installation on Staten Island run the full range, from a single leaking dome on a row house to pitched-roof colonials and ranches.

Beyond the city, skylight installation on Long Island covers Nassau and Suffolk with published prices and supply-only sales to local roofers, and skylight installation in Westchester leans custom — copper, architectural units and one-off shapes.
