Code-Compliant Roof Skylight Services
Roof Skylight Installation and Restoration
We install and restore roof skylights for commercial, multi-family, and residential buildings across New York City and the Tri-State region. From new openings to replacements and leak remediation, we manage access, safety, permits, and detailing with licensed crews and umbrella-insured operations.
Based in Huntington Station, we serve all five boroughs and Long Island, with 24/7 emergency response and engineering support for drawings and special inspections.
Safety, Permits, And Precision
Skylight Expertise Focused On Compliance
As a licensed exterior building restoration contractor, we deliver roof skylight installation and restoration that is planned for code compliance from day one and executed to OSHA site-safety standards. We mobilize approved vertical access—suspended scaffolding, pipe scaffolding, sidewalk sheds, and access elevators—so crews can work efficiently while protecting the public and occupied spaces.
Our project managers handle NYC DOB/DOT permits, sidewalk shed filings, and after-hours approvals where required, and our umbrella insurance covers every job.
We provide engineering support for drawings and special inspections, coordinate with third-party inspectors as needed, and document each phase so owners, co-ops, and property managers have clear records.
For skylight scopes we focus on substrate preparation, curb and flashing integration, and compatible sealant detailing around perimeters and terminations; to set expectations, we do not coordinate penetrations or flashings with other trades.
When emergency water intrusion compromises a skylight, our 24/7 response stabilizes conditions and schedules follow-on restoration without disrupting building operations.
Based in Huntington Station and serving New York City and all five boroughs, we also reach Long Island, Nassau/Suffolk, and the wider Tri-State region; for larger projects we can travel up to 100 km, and for smaller scopes we prioritize work within 50 km, with options discussed for sites beyond. Choose us for a compliance-first team that understands skylight performance, occupant safety, and durable, maintainable results.
Skylight Questions, Answered Clearly
Do we need replacement or restoration?
We evaluate the skylight curb, glazing, frame condition, and surrounding roof to determine the most durable path. If the unit is sound, targeted restoration with new flashing and perimeter detailing often outperforms full replacement. When frames or curbs are compromised, replacement is recommended. We explain roof restoration vs replacement implications before work begins.
How long does installation or repair take?
Most skylight installations or restorations are completed within one to three days per unit, depending on access, curb work, and weather. We sequence activities to keep the building dry at all times, coordinate inspections, and maintain clear protection below. As a waterproofing contractor, we prioritize watertight transitions and safe occupancies during every phase.
What access methods will you use?
We plan access around approved methods only: suspended scaffolding, pipe scaffolding, sidewalk sheds, and access elevators. This protects pedestrians and expedites logistics in occupied properties. Our site-safety plans address controlled areas, debris management, and public protection typical of exterior building restoration work, allowing precise skylight detailing without unnecessary disruption to residents or commercial tenants.
How do you prevent future leaks?
We focus on proper substrate preparation, curb height, and compatible termination detailing, then schedule routine visual checks after storms. Perimeter sealant and caulking replacement frequency varies by exposure and movement, but our restoration approach emphasizes durable joints that remain serviceable. We design the skylight-to-roof interface so maintenance stays simple and leaks are minimized.
Are permits and inspections handled?
Yes. We handle NYC DOB/DOT permits as applicable, coordinate special inspections, and provide stamped drawings when a project requires them. Our documentation keeps boards, owners, and managers informed and compliant. As a waterproofing contractor with skylight experience, we maintain records that demonstrate life-safety measures, code compliance, and noise/dust controls appropriate for dense urban settings.
Do you serve my location?
We serve Huntington Station and New York City, covering all five boroughs, Long Island, and the Tri-State area. For larger projects we can travel up to 100 km; for smaller scopes we prioritize 50 km. If you are outside these distances, contact us to discuss options. Our exterior building restoration team is flexible.
Our co-op in Astoria had recurring leaks under a large roof skylight over the lobby. Skylight Restoration mobilized quickly, installed a sidewalk shed, and secured the required NYC permits without delaying access to the building. Their team removed deteriorated curbs, rebuilt to proper height, restored the unit with new perimeter detailing, and coordinated special inspections. They documented every step for our board and kept common areas safe. The first heavy storm after completion was dry for the first time in years. We operate in New York City and appreciate vendors who respect residents and compliance—this crew delivered.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️We hired Skylight Restoration to add two new roof skylights over our studio in Huntington Station. They reviewed drawings, handled DOB paperwork, and set pipe scaffolding and a sidewalk shed so the street entrance stayed open. Installation was neat, with correct curb heights, insulated flashings, and clean perimeter detailing. They were clear that penetrations and flashings by other trades were not in scope, which helped us coordinate on our side. Inspections passed immediately, daylight is fantastic, and the space stayed watertight through multiple storms across New York City.
