Our Daylighting Services
Skylights are more than a window in your roof. When properly chosen and correctly installed, they enhance how your home feels, looks, and functions. They increase natural light, improve ventilation, and reduce your reliance on electric lighting—especially in hard-to-reach or interior rooms.
At North Star Skylights, we make sure every skylight adds real value to your home. We work with you from the first conversation through expert installation and even helping you get your remote controls set. Here’s what you can expect from our full-service approach:
Design Support →
Choosing a skylight involves more than just picking a product. Our design support starts with your space, your lighting goals, your lifestyle, and your budget. We help you select the right VELUX model, placement, and accessories to bring in daylight where it matters most.
Certified Installation →
Skylights require precision. That’s why it pays to trust a certified expert. Our team installs every skylight using official VELUX methods, proper flashing kits, and waterproofing systems—delivering a reliable result installation backed by the VELUX 10-Year No Leak Warranty.
Skylight Replacement →
If your skylight is cloudy, leaking, or outdated, we make replacement easy. We remove the old unit, modify the opening if needed, and install a new high-performance VELUX skylight that improves both comfort and efficiency. Modern skylights even come with a range of upgrades from solar-powered accessories to smart home remote controls.
Inspection + Cleaning →
Like any home system, skylights perform best with regular care. Our annual maintenance service includes skylight cleaning, blind cleaning, flashing inspection, and functionality testing to extend product life.
The VELUX No Leak Promise
Leaks used to be the biggest concern with skylights. But today’s VELUX systems are engineered to eliminate that worry. Improved design, better materials, and a certified three-part installation system have raised the bar for performance—and peace of mind.
Nearly every skylight we install is protected by the VELUX No Leak Promise. This 10-year warranty covers leaks through the skylight, around the frame, and at the roof connection when installed with VELUX flashing by a certified team like North Star Skylights.
It’s a promise built on decades of innovation—and backed by the training and experience to install it right.
Save More with Financing and Tax Credits
Upgrading your home with a skylight doesn’t have to break the budget. We help you explore payment options, rebates, and tax incentives that make your project more affordable.
If you choose a solar-powered skylight or blind, you may qualify for a 30% federal tax credit. We’ll walk you through the requirements and provide the documentation you need to claim it.
We also connect homeowners with flexible financing options, so you can start your project now and pay over time.
Why Daylight Makes a Better Home
Skylights do more than brighten a room—they improve how your home feels, functions, and supports your well-being.
A well daylit home is:
- More welcoming – Natural light makes rooms feel larger, more open, and more inviting.
- Healthier – Exposure to daylight helps regulate sleep cycles, reduce stress, and boost mood.
- More energy-efficient – By relying less on artificial lighting, you can cut energy use and reduce your utility bills.
- Better ventilated – Venting skylights improve airflow, remove stale air, support indoor air quality, and can reduce your cooling costs.
- More valuable – Homes with thoughtfully integrated daylighting stand out on the market and attract buyer interest.
Whether it’s a single Sun Tunnel in a hallway or a full bank of venting skylights in your kitchen, the benefits of natural light extend far beyond aesthetics. With the right products, installed the right way, you’ll notice the difference every day.
