Residential Skylights for Minnesota Roofers
Skylight Expertise That Supports Your Roofing Business
Professional skylight installation and replacement support for re-roofing and residential roofing contractors.
When you’re tearing off a roof, time matters. So does quality. At North Star Skylights, we work directly with roofing contractors across the Twin Cities to handle the skylight portion of your projects with speed, accuracy, and no call-backs.
As a certified VELUX Skylight Specialist, we bring specialty knowledge to your job site without disrupting your workflow. You can stay focused on the roof, knowing the skylights are handled by trained professionals who install them correctly the first time.
What Our Clients Say
We’re Your Skylight Partner—Not Your Competitor
We don’t offer roofing. We don’t install siding or gutters. We only install and service residential skylights—and that makes us the perfect partner for roofing companies who want to deliver complete, warranty-backed results to their clients.
In an industry where subcontractors come and go, North Star Skylights stands apart. We’ve been around for over 30 years, and our entire team is made up of full-time employees trained to install skylights the right way—on time, to code, and with long-term durability in mind.
You stay in control of your project. We step in where you need us. Together, we deliver a clean, complete roof system that performs as well as it looks.
Support at Every Stage of the Roofing Project
Before the Tear-Off
We help assess existing skylights and advise whether replacement is needed. In many cases, swapping in a new skylight during re-roofing protects both the roof and warranty coverage.
During the Roof Work
We coordinate with your crew for install timing. Our team uses proper flashing kits and waterproofing methods approved by VELUX. We move quickly and cleanly, often finishing skylight installs in a single day.
After the Job Wraps
We remain available to inspect, troubleshoot, or maintain skylights installed under your roofing contract. If your customer has questions, you can send them directly to us.

At North Star Skylights, we support your roofing projects with specialized skill, certified expertise, and a clear understanding of what matters most: fast installs, watertight performance, and zero callbacks.
We install all residential skylights using VELUX-certified methods, including proper underlayment, step flashing, and sealant systems that integrate seamlessly with your roofing materials. Whether you’re working on a steep-slope asphalt shingle tear-off or a standing seam metal overlay, we follow manufacturer-backed protocols to protect your work and your reputation. Because we maintain a full inventory of common VELUX skylight models, flashing kits, and accessories, we can often align our work with fast-moving re-roofing schedules—reducing downtime and improving client satisfaction.

- Deck-mounted and curb-mounted VELUX skylights
- Fixed, venting, electric, and solar-powered units

We’re fully insured, properly trained, and equipped to work cleanly and efficiently on active job sites. We also keep communication open with your project manager or site lead so scheduling is smooth and no details fall through the cracks.
Our goal is to make skylight work the easiest part of your roofing job. We act as an extension of your team—not an outsider—and bring a level of professionalism that your clients will notice.

Replacement or Retrofit? We’ll Help You Decide
Not every skylight needs to be replaced during re-roofing—but many should be. We evaluate each one and give you honest guidance.
Common signs it’s time to replace:
- Skylights are more than 15 years old
- Visible seal failure or fogging
- Water staining or past leaks
- Outdated manual models without modern performance features
We can retrofit new VELUX skylights into most existing openings—or recommend adjusted sizing if needed. We’ll provide any framing support and interior finishing needed to complete the job.
More Than a One-Time Sub—A Long-Term Resource
We build relationships with roofers, not just one-time contracts. Our goal is to become your go-to skylight partner for every residential project. As your business grows, we scale with you—always available to help with consultation, installation, or client-facing questions.
We’re also happy to co-brand skylight services for your clients, offering a seamless experience under your name while bringing our specialist skills behind the scenes.

What if a customer wants to keep their existing skylight?

Absolutely. We install single units or multiple skylights, including solar-powered models and skylights on vaulted ceilings. We can also install Sun Tunnels as part of the same project.
