Skylight Types
From compact tubular daylighting systems to large custom commercial skylights, we install every type of skylight to bring natural light into your space.
Non-opening skylights designed to bring maximum natural light into interior spaces.
Operable skylights that open to allow fresh air circulation in addition to natural light.
Compact, tube-based systems that channel sunlight from the roof through a reflective tube into interior rooms.
Large-format and architecturally designed skylight systems for commercial buildings, atriums, and custom residential projects.
Benefits
Skylights deliver up to three times more light than vertical windows of the same size. They illuminate deep interior spaces that wall windows cannot reach, reducing reliance on electric lighting throughout the day.
Reduced electric lighting costs and passive solar heating in winter offset energy use. Modern low-E skylights minimize summer heat gain while maximizing winter solar gain for year-round efficiency.
Vented skylights exhaust warm, moist air that naturally rises to the ceiling. This stack-effect ventilation reduces cooling loads and helps control humidity in kitchens, bathrooms, and upper floors.
Exposure to natural daylight improves mood, sleep quality, and productivity. Skylights bring biophilic design into your home, connecting interior spaces with the sky and natural light cycles.
Skylights are a high-value improvement that enhances both the aesthetics and functionality of a home. They are a distinguishing feature in real estate listings and appeal strongly to buyers in the DMV market.
Skylights add dramatic visual interest to rooms by creating dynamic patterns of light and shadow that change throughout the day. They transform ordinary ceilings into a connection point with the outdoors.
Repair & Replacement
Existing skylights need attention too. We diagnose and fix every common skylight problem, from failed seals to cracked glass to leaking flashing.
Cracked, chipped, or hazy skylight glass replaced with new energy-efficient double-pane or triple-pane glass. We match existing frame dimensions for a seamless fit.
Failed seals cause condensation between glass panes. We replace the insulated glass unit and reseal the frame to restore clarity and thermal performance.
Leaking skylights are almost always a flashing problem. We remove old flashing, install new step and counter flashing, and integrate with existing roofing materials.
Wood, aluminum, or vinyl frames that are rotted, corroded, or warped are repaired or replaced. We match existing profiles or upgrade to modern low-maintenance materials.
Vented skylights with broken cranks, failed motors, or stuck chains are repaired or upgraded. We service manual, electric, and solar-powered opening systems.
When repair is not cost-effective, we replace the entire skylight unit including frame, glass, and flashing. Modern replacements are more energy efficient and easier to maintain.
How We Work
We inspect your roof structure, rafter spacing, and attic conditions. We identify the optimal placement for maximum light, discuss skylight size and type,
We help you choose the right skylight type, size, and glazing options based on your goals, roof pitch, orientation, and energy requirements.
Our team cuts the roof opening, builds or modifies the curb framing, installs the skylight with manufacturer-specified flashing,
We test the skylight operation (for vented models), verify the flashing and seal integrity, clean the glass,
Glass Options
Microscopically thin metallic coatings reflect infrared heat while transmitting visible light, significantly improving your skylight's energy performance.
The space between double-pane glass is filled with argon gas instead of air. Argon is denser than air and conducts less heat,
Two layers of glass bonded to a plastic interlayer. If broken, the glass fragments adhere to the interlayer instead of falling.

Design Guidance
Where you place a skylight matters as much as which skylight you choose. Orientation, room function, and roof structure all influence the optimal location.
Provide consistent, even daylight throughout the day without direct sun glare or excessive heat gain. Ideal for studios, offices, and rooms where uniform natural light is desired. The preferred orientation for reducing summer cooling loads in the DMV climate.
Maximize solar heat gain in winter, contributing to passive heating. In summer, low-E coatings and blinds control excess heat. Best for living rooms and great rooms in homes where winter warmth is welcome. Pair with vented models to exhaust summer heat.
East-facing skylights bring bright morning light, ideal for kitchens and breakfast nooks. West-facing skylights capture afternoon sun but may require shading in summer. Consider external blinds or heat-rejecting glass for west-facing installations.
Vented skylights are strongly recommended for kitchens and bathrooms to exhaust moisture, cooking odors, and heat. The natural stack effect draws warm, humid air up and out through the open skylight, reducing the need for mechanical ventilation.
Interior hallways and stairwells benefit dramatically from skylights because they cannot have wall windows. A single skylight or tubular daylighting system can illuminate an entire hallway, eliminating the need for daytime electric lighting.
Skylights in vaulted or cathedral ceilings require no light shaft -- the skylight opens directly into the room. This produces the most dramatic effect, with a direct view of the sky and maximum light penetration into the space below.
