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. 

Tailored to Your Role: How We Work with Each Customer

We understand that homeowners, roofers, contractors, and architects each bring different needs to the table. Our team adapts our services and communication style to support your goals. 

You want to bring more light and air into your home—without stress or surprises. We make the process simple and transparent. From your first consultation to final walkthrough, we’re there to answer questions, offer design guidance, and leave your home clean and transformed.

Skylight installation and replacement are often just one part of a larger project. We’re the reliable partner you can count on to get the job done right. Our team integrates with yours to support tight timelines and meet your standards—without cutting corners. We handle the specialty work so your crew can focus on the roof.

    • Timely certified skylight installations
    • Subcontractor support for residential jobs
    • Replacement expertise during re-roofing projects

As a general contractor, your focus is on managing entire projects—not the fine points of skylight installation. That’s where we come in. North Star Skylights works as a dedicated trade partner, offering turnkey skylight solutions that meet code, stay on schedule, and complement your workflow.

We supply the right VELUX products, coordinate directly with your team, and handle every step of the install so you don’t have to manage another specialty sub. Whether it’s a remodel, addition, or full new build, we make the skylight piece simple.

    • Start-to-finish skylight project management
    • VELUX product recommendations during the planning phase
    • Clean, fast installations that integrate with broader timelines
    • Support with inspections, rebates, and warranty compliance

Skylights are wonderful ways to create inspired living spaces. We collaborate early in the design process to ensure your vision aligns with VELUX skylight models, structural needs, and natural lighting goals. Our design support helps you integrate daylighting while maintaining aesthetics and performance.

We support design professionals with:

    • Residential daylighting consultation
    • Product selection aligned with building codes and client preferences
    • Guidance on sun angles, ventilation, and glass performance
