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

Leaking skylight? Start with an assessment

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

Start with a professional assessment. We come out, find the real cause, and tell you straight what the right fix is. Old acrylic domes and steel units are not worth patching, and the answer there is a new unit on a proper curb. A sound modern unit with a flashing problem can usually be reflashed. Either way you get one answer and one price before you spend anything.

Will you look at a skylight another company installed?

Yes. Most of the leaks we assess are on skylights somebody else put in, usually a deck mount unit on a flat roof or a curb that was never built right. We do not need to have installed it to tell you what is wrong with it.

Is it cheaper to repair or replace a skylight?

If the unit is sound and only the flashing failed, reflashing is the smaller job. If the unit is past roughly twenty years, fogged, cracked, or an acrylic dome, replacement is the honest answer. On most New York buildings a large share of any roof job is getting a crew and materials up there safely, so replacing a marginal unit usually costs less over five years than patching it twice. Replacement on a sound curb starts at $2,079 installed.

How fast can you get to a leaking skylight?

Call (718) 646-7053. The phone is answered evenings and weekends, active leaks are flagged to us the same day, and they go to the front of the schedule. You can also send photos through the contact form and we can often 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 brownstones, penthouses and sloped glazing, where the Landmarks step 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.
