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.

Assessing the damage

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.

Let's talk numbers

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.

We had an amazing experience with Clearview Roofing and Construction. After we bought the home, and found out the former owner lied about the quality of the roof, we needed a new roof... and fast! We called Clearview and they were able to be there the next week. The price was fair and reasonable. No hidden fees. Eric led the crew -- and was very responsive, helpful, and easy to work with. The whole roof was replaced in one day! We are so glad that we found them!

Vicky Salcedo-Soriano

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!

George Brockmann

Excellent company. Had full replacement of slate roof, gutters, and they were easy to deal with, very responsive, and workers were very professional. Cleanup was tremendous, as they had workers cleaning while the work was being done. Plan on using them for other work in the future.

Andrew Williams

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!!

Edward Concepcion

Great work by Clearview on time and at the best price I could find. Clearview Roofing installed new black gutters for me with leaf guards. I loved the quality and how responsible they were, I recommend 100%. Definitely the best roofers on Long Island!
