About North Star Skylights
At North Star Skylights, skylights are our specialty—and we bring deep expertise to everything from design and installation to replacement, service, and support. We help homeowners, contractors, and design professionals bring natural light into residential spaces using the world’s best skylights, installed by a team that knows how to do it right.
Based in the Twin Cities and serving the greater metro area, we specialize exclusively in VELUX skylight systems. That focus allows us to deliver expert consultation, certified installation, and long-term support that general contractors or roofing companies simply can’t match.
From your first consultation to your final walkthrough, you can expect professionalism, clarity, and craftsmanship in every detail.
We are Minnesota’s trusted VELUX skylight specialist for designing, installing, and supporting residential daylighting systems with care and precision.

Why We Trust VELUX—The Global Leader in Skylights
At North Star Skylights, we install only VELUX products because they are unmatched in quality, innovation, and performance. VELUX is the world’s leading manufacturer of skylights and roof windows, with over 80 years of experience and a reputation for setting the standard in daylighting systems.
As a global brand, VELUX is known for its engineering excellence, energy efficiency, and long-term durability. Their products are designed to handle even the harshest climates—making them an ideal fit for Minnesota homes. From advanced flashing systems to smart home controls, VELUX continues to lead the industry with features that improve comfort, ventilation, and natural light in residential spaces.
When you choose a VELUX skylight through North Star Skylights, you’re not just getting a premium product—you’re getting the peace of mind that comes with the VELUX No Leak Promise and decades of proven performance. As a VELUX Skylight Specialist and Authorized Service Dealer, we’re proud to install the best skylights in the world—and support them with expert service for years to come.
Meet Our Team
We’re a small, skilled team of skylight experts, installers, and support staff who take pride in doing things the right way. Many of us have worked in daylighting for over a decade, and we bring that experience into every project we touch.

Our entire team is made up of trained, full-time employees—not subcontractors—so you get consistent, professional service from a company that will be here long after your project is complete. In an industry filled with short-term contractors, North Star Skylights is a name you can trust.
As a certified VELUX Skylight Specialist, we:
- Follow manufacturer-approved installation techniques
- Offer access to the full VELUX product line
- Keep popular models and accessories in stock
- Support Federal tax credit documentation and warranty registration
- Coordinate seamlessly with roofers, remodelers, and builders
Our team works on everything from single-room upgrades to large-scale renovations, bringing the same focus and attention to every project, no matter the size.
Our Full-Service Minnesota Skylight Process
From design to installation and beyond, our process is built for ease, clarity, and long-term satisfaction.
We meet with you in person in your home to understand your goals and space. We explain your skylight options clearly and help you choose the right model, placement, and features based on how you use each room.
We walk through product styles, venting options, shades, and smart accessories. Once you’re ready, we provide a detailed estimate and project timeline—always transparent, always pressure-free.
Our trained team arrives on time, protects your space, and installs your skylight using VELUX’s official methods. We don’t use subcontractors—your project is completed by full-time North Star Skylights employees who specialize in skylight installation every day. Most jobs are finished in one or two days, plus interior trim and finishing work.
This is a team you can trust—and a company that will be here to support your skylight for years to come.
We help register your warranty, provide cleaning and maintenance tips, and remain available for future upgrades or inspections. We also support rebate paperwork and tax credit documentation for qualifying models.
More Than Installation—We’re Your Skylight Partner
We support a wide range of residential needs, including:
- Design Assistance
