Old acrylic bubble skylights yellow, leak and let the heat in. We replace them with VELUX skylight systems, add new skylights and Sun Tunnels where a room needs daylight, and reflash or remove skylights that have reached the end of their life, ideally while the roof is open.
What we do
Remove the old unit, curb and flashing, and install a new VELUX deck- or curb-mounted skylight with engineered flashing that is integrated into the roof underlayment and covering.
Cut in a new skylight where a kitchen, bath or hallway needs daylight. We frame the opening, build the light shaft, flash it and leave the drywall ready for finish.
Tubular daylighting for closets, laundry rooms and hallways where a full skylight will not fit. Rigid or flexible tunnels, installed in a few hours.
Most skylight leaks are failed flashing or a cracked dome, not the roof. We diagnose the real cause and reflash or replace, rather than caulking over it.
Two skylights you never wanted? We remove them, frame and sheathe the openings, patch the ceiling to paint-ready, and run the new roofing straight across.
Solar-powered fresh air skylights with rain sensors, pre-installed blackout or light-filtering shades, and remote or app control.
VELUX skylight systems
VELUX has made skylights for more than 80 years. Every unit we install is a complete system: the skylight, engineered flashing that integrates with the roof underlayment, and optional pre-installed shades and controls. Choose how much control you want over light and air.
Daylight only, no ventilation. The most affordable way to brighten a hallway, stairwell or living room. Deck- or curb-mounted, with optional pre-installed shades.
Opens with a control rod or crank to vent warm air and steam. A good fit for kitchens and baths where the skylight is within reach.
Opens and closes by remote or wall control and shuts itself when the rain sensor detects moisture. Wired to the house during the install.
A solar panel charges the battery that runs the skylight and its shades, so there is no wiring. Rain sensor included, and the easiest upgrade on an existing roof.
Tubular daylighting for closets, laundry rooms, hallways and baths where a full skylight will not fit. A rooftop dome, a reflective tunnel and a ceiling diffuser, installed in a few hours with no drywall work.
Timing
A skylight is only as watertight as the flashing around it, and that flashing is woven into the roof. The right time to replace old skylights is the day the old roof comes off.
Every roof replacement estimate we write lists each skylight on the roof with a replace, keep or remove option, so you can decide before the work starts.

Questions
VELUX puts the average life of a skylight at 20 to 30 years. If yours are original to the house, or the domes have clouded and the seals have failed, plan to replace them.
Yes, and VELUX recommends the same. Doing both at once means the flashing is integrated into the new roof, one crew and one set of scaffolding, and the roof and skylight warranties start together. Replacing a skylight after a new roof means cutting into it.
Usually the flashing around the skylight or a cracked dome. We check both before recommending anything, and we will tell you if the roof around it is the real problem.
Yes. We remove the unit, frame and sheathe the opening to match the deck, and roof over it so there is no visible transition. Interior drywall and paint can be included or left to your finish contractor.
VELUX fixed, manual fresh air, electric fresh air and solar-powered fresh air skylights come in standard deck-mount and curb-mount sizes that fit most existing openings, plus Sun Tunnels in 10-inch and 14-inch. We measure your openings at the inspection.
