About

Built around the way this city works

New York doesn't give you a clean site, a wide door, or a quiet weekend. It gives you a freight elevator window and a building full of people.

Skylight Mechanical Corp. works on commercial HVAC and mechanical systems across New York City — from Midtown towers to tenant floors mid-renovation. Our work is planned around access, rigging routes, occupied floors and the trades around us, because that is what determines whether a mechanical install actually lands on schedule.

The result is straightforward: installations that can be serviced, piping and ductwork you can follow with your eyes, and a contractor who answers the phone after turnover.

Craftsmanship

A full unit, start to finish

Layout, hangers, steamfitting, sheet metal, insulation, startup. The parts of the job nobody sees once the ceiling closes are the parts that decide how the system runs for the next twenty years — so we build them to be looked at.

Set

Equipment rigged, set and aligned before a single connection is made.

Connect

Piping and duct routed with service clearance planned in, not squeezed in.

Commission

Checked, started and turned over with the building's team in the room.

Built for New York

Crews, trucks, access, timing

Working in Manhattan is a logistics problem before it is a mechanical one. Skylight plans around loading docks, freight windows, street access and occupied floors so material arrives when it can actually be moved and crews are productive the hour they arrive.

Service & Maintenance

After the install

Most of a mechanical system's life happens after turnover. Skylight provides service and preventive maintenance for commercial HVAC equipment across New York City — scheduled visits that catch problems before a tenant does, and responsive service when something needs attention now.

For building managers & property teams

Preventive maintenance

Planned seasonal service on installed equipment.

Service calls

Response for commercial HVAC issues across the city.

Equipment replacement

Cooling towers, air handlers and mechanical equipment.

Controls coordination

Working alongside your controls or BMS vendor.

Industry & Community

Skylight is part of New York's trade community — the crews, the shops and the people who keep the city's buildings running.

We show up for the industry the same way we show up for the work.

How We Work

Five steps, no surprises

01

Conduct a Site Review

We begin with an on-site assessment — risers, roof, mechanical rooms, access routes and what the building will actually allow.

02

Scope & Estimate

A clear written scope and estimate, with the constraints and coordination items stated up front.

03

Coordinate

Sequencing with ownership, construction management, electrical and controls before anything is fabricated.

04

Install

Field crews working to the plan, with protection, staging and access handled like the building is occupied — because it is.

05

Start Up & Support

Startup, checkout and turnover, then service and maintenance for the life of the system.
