Custom Skylight Solutions

We design and install skylights tailored to unique architectural needs. If standard sizes or shapes don’t fit your project, we create custom options.


Custom solutions include specialized glass types, framing materials, and shapes like domes or pyramids. We work with you to balance aesthetics, lighting, and thermal performance.


Our team handles measurement, design, and installation with close attention to detail. Custom skylights add value and style to both homes and businesses.

Energy-Efficient Options

We offer skylights that help lower heating and cooling bills. Energy-efficient models include features like low-emissivity coatings and double or triple glazing.


These skylights reduce heat loss in winter and limit heat gain in summer. Some come with built-in blinds or shading systems for better light control.


Choosing the right energy-efficient skylight depends on your climate and building orientation. We guide you to select options that improve comfort and save energy year-round.

Types of Skylights Available

We offer different types of skylights to fit your needs for light, ventilation, and space. Each has unique features suited for specific rooms and roof designs.

Fixed Skylights

Fixed skylights are stationary and do not open. They are designed mainly to bring natural light into a room. These skylights are best for areas where ventilation is not needed, such as hallways or closets.


They come in various shapes and sizes and are made from durable glass or acrylic. Fixed skylights help reduce the need for electric lighting during the day. Their sealed design means they prevent leaks and drafts well.


Because they don’t move, fixed skylights require less maintenance than other types. We recommend them if your priority is improving natural light without extra airflow.

Venting Skylights

Venting skylights can open and close, which helps with air circulation. These are perfect for rooms like kitchens, bathrooms, or bedrooms where you want fresh air and light together.


They can be operated manually or with a remote control. Venting skylights help reduce moisture and heat buildup by letting hot air escape, which can lower cooling costs.


We install models with secure locks and weatherproof seals to keep your home safe and dry. If you want both light and ventilation, this type is a practical choice.

Tubular Skylights

Tubular skylights are small, tube-shaped lights designed to fit into tight spaces where standard skylights won’t fit. They capture sunlight on the roof and channel it through a reflective tube into your room.


These are often used in closets, small bathrooms, or hallways to brighten up dark spaces without major roof changes. Tubular skylights are energy-efficient because they bring in natural light without heat.


They are quick to install and usually cost less than larger skylights. If you have limited roof space but want daylight in small areas, tubular skylights are a solid option.

Roof Compatibility and Skylight Placement

We begin with a thorough assessment to determine if your roof is ideally suited for skylight installation. While most residential roofs can successfully support skylights, critical factors like roof construction type, pitch angle, structural integrity, and existing framework all play vital roles in the planning process. Our experienced team conducts a detailed inspection of these elements to ensure the skylight will integrate safely and seamlessly with your home's structure.


Different roofing systems present unique installation challenges that require specialized expertise. For example, flat or low-slope roofs demand advanced waterproofing techniques and drainage considerations, while steep-pitched roofs require precise placement strategies and enhanced leak prevention measures. Metal, tile, shingle, and membrane roofs each have specific requirements that we carefully evaluate before developing a customized installation plan.


Strategic skylight placement is absolutely critical to achieving optimal performance and comfort. We analyze multiple factors including your roof's directional orientation, seasonal sunlight patterns, interior room layout, and your family's daily routines. Proper placement maximizes beneficial natural light while preventing issues like excessive heat gain, uncomfortable glare, or inadequate illumination.


Here's what our team meticulously evaluates when determining optimal skylight placement:


  • Sun exposure patterns: We strategically avoid areas with excessive direct sunlight during peak summer months while ensuring adequate winter illumination.
  • Structural roof framing: Skylights must be positioned to fit precisely between existing roof rafters and trusses without compromising your home's structural integrity.
  • Room functionality: We prioritize living spaces, kitchens, and work areas that will benefit most significantly from enhanced natural daylight.
  • Weather considerations: We account for prevailing wind patterns, rain drainage, and snow load requirements specific to your location.


Through this comprehensive evaluation process, we ensure your skylight installation works harmoniously with your specific roof type and architectural design. This meticulous approach guarantees a safe, durable installation that delivers exceptional performance and long-lasting satisfaction.
