Explore Our Residential Skylight Services
Here’s a quick look at how North Star Skylights can help you at every stage.
Design Support
Bringing natural light into your home starts with smart design. Our team works with you to identify the best skylight type, placement, and size for your space—whether you’re adding kitchen skylights to brighten the heart of your home or enhancing a vaulted ceiling in your living room.
We consider roof structure, room function, and daylight goals to design a solution that complements your layout and lifestyle. Our skylight design ideas support homeowners, contractors, and architects alike in selecting the best residential skylight options for both function and aesthetics.
Skylight Replacement
If your skylights are showing signs of age—foggy glass, drafts, or leaks—it may be time for an upgrade. We replace old skylights with modern, energy-efficient models that improve comfort, lighting, and appearance. Whether your current skylight was improperly installed or just past its lifespan, we’ll provide a seamless, low-hassle replacement using top-quality VELUX products.
North Star Skylights is a trusted name in the Twin Cities for residential skylight replacement. We handle everything from removal to finishing.
Certified Skylight Installation
When it comes to installation, details matter. Our certified installers follow VELUX’s proven process to ensure each skylight is fitted properly and finished beautifully. We install skylights in both flat and vaulted ceilings and use the VELUX three-layer waterproofing system to guarantee performance.
Our residential skylight installation services include everything from rooftop prep to interior finishing—delivered with respect for your schedule and your space. Every installation is backed by the VELUX No Leak Promise for 10 years of added peace of mind.
Skylight Inspection and Cleaning
Regular maintenance keeps your skylights performing at their best. Our inspection services identify potential problems early—such as seal failure, moisture intrusion, or glass damage—before they become costly repairs. We also offer skylight cleaning to remove buildup, restore visibility, and ensure maximum daylight enters your home.
Our residential skylight inspection and cleaning services are available year-round across Minneapolis and surrounding areas. These services help extend the life of your skylight and maintain a clear, healthy interior environment.
