What Our Clients Say
A Brighter Home Starts Here

With North Star Skylights, you get more than beautiful results. You get clear communication, certified workmanship, and a home that feels lighter and brighter.

Helping You Choose the Right Skylight
We help you select the best skylight based on your goals, ceiling type, and how you use the space.
- Kitchens: Add bright, even daylight and clear cooking odors with a venting skylight.
- Bathrooms: Bring in natural light and reduce humidity without sacrificing privacy.
- Bedrooms: Pair a skylight with room-darkening shades for light by day and privacy at night.
- Living Rooms: Let in natural light and improve energy efficiency in large gathering spaces.
- Hallways & Stairwells: Use fixed skylights or Sun Tunnels to open up darker areas.
We also help you choose features like solar-powered operation, automatic rain sensors, and remote controls. If you want smart home functionality, we can integrate VELUX ACTIVE systems that adjust skylights and blinds based on temperature, humidity, and CO₂ levels inside your home.

MN Skylight Replacement + Upgrades
Have an old skylight that’s foggy, leaking, or just outdated? We can help.
Replacing a skylight is often faster and more affordable than homeowners expect—especially when it’s done by certified professionals.

Signs you may need a replacement include:
-
- Cloudy or yellowed glass
- Water stains or peeling paint around the frame
- Drafts or difficulty opening and closing

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to install a skylight in Minnesota?
The cost depends on the type of skylight, attic space, and any accessories you choose. Most installations fall between $2,000 and $5,000. We’ll provide a clear, custom quote at your consultation.
Will installation be disruptive to my home?
Not at all. Our team works efficiently and keeps your space protected throughout the project. Most installations take one to two days, and we handle all finish work so your room is ready to enjoy right away.
Can skylights help reduce my energy bills?

What kind of maintenance do skylights need?
We recommend a quick inspection and cleaning once a year. This helps prevent leaks, keeps the glass clear, and ensures everything is working properly. We offer affordable maintenance services to help with this.
Can I add a skylight to an existing room?
Absolutely. Skylights can be added to most homes and ceiling types. During your consultation, we’ll assess the space and explain your options based on roof pitch, layout, and light goals.
