Skylight Installation and Repair in Long Island NY, Suffolk and Nassau
Shining Light on Skylight Installation
The best part about a skylight is the added natural light for the interior of your home or office. The worst part is their tendency to leak. That is, unless they’re installed properly! Clearview Roofing and Construction has been installing and repairing skylights in both Suffolk and Nassau County since 1961, so a leak-free skylight is the only skylight we know how to provide. We offer a no-leak promise, so no worries.
How to repair a leaking skylight
The first step is a skylight diagnosis. One of our trained technicians will determine why it’s leaking. A skylight leaks for many reasons. It could be leaking glass, damaged flashing, improper installation or roofing installation errors.
If a skylight flashing can be changed or waterproofing can be added then this usually will correct a leaking skylight. Caulking the glass can buy some time before replacing and removing the shingles and reinstalling a skylight might also be necessary.
What is the cost to repair or replace a skylight in Long Island Ny?
The average cost to replace a skylight is usually 3-4 times the cost of the actual skylight. One must consider the cost of roofing shingles, roofing materials, plywood, interior work, labor and a company’s overhead and need for a profit.
A repair of a skylight if it’s repairable is usually $450 to $1000 dollars depending on the nature of the repair.

Benefits of Skylight Installation
Skylights are a great option for any homeowner who is interested in adding more natural light to their space, making the space look larger or offering improved ventilation.

Natural Lighting
Natural light options mean there’s less requirement for electrical light options, saving money on your electric bill. Not only that, but natural light helps to improve mood and health.
Maintain Privacy
Skylights offer a great way to let in natural light and maintain your privacy. Whereas windows generally face out onto neighboring homes and structures, skylights are placed on the roof so there is a far less chance of seeing anything but the sky.
Air Ventilation
If your home ever feels too hot, open up the skylight! Skylights aid in expelling hot air, either in bathrooms (which also helps moisture and steam to escape), sun-facing living rooms or main rooms, or kitchens for the removal of cooking odors or oven heat.
Eric was amazing and amiable! Also very professional, answered all our questions, respectfully and politely and not at all intimidating. We called the Company to help with an urgent roof inspection and they responded immediately and accommodated our availability. We will be definitely using their services for roof installation!
I use Clearview Roofing for all my roofing needs and recently needed a gutter replaced. I called them on Monday, they completed the job on Wednesday and did a great job as usual. Kevin and the team are always very responsive and can be relied on to do a great job at a fair price.
CLEARVIEW Roofing repaired the white aluminum fascia molding that blew off with the recent storm we had. I called and spoke to Chris. After talking to him on the telephone I texted him photos of the aluminum that needed to be replaced. In no time he responded with an estimate that was fair and reasonable. A crew arrived the next day to do the work. Great Job!! Well done! I highly recommend Clearview Roofing!!
