Let the Light In. Keep the Water Out.
A skylight transforms a room with natural daylight, but proper sealing and flashing are what keep your home protected. We install fixed, solar-powered, and vented Velux skylights, and we repair existing units that leak, fog, or draft.
Skylight Replacement Isn't Right for You If...
- The leak is caused strictly by failed exterior flashing around an otherwise sound frame
- The glass seal is intact with zero interior fogging or condensation between panes
- The unit is under 10 years old and structurally secure
- You only need simple seal maintenance or a minor component fix on a solar unit

How much does a skylight cost to install in Ohio?
Skylight installation typically costs $1,200 to $3,500 per unit. The exact price depends on whether you are replacing an existing skylight or cutting a new opening through your roof deck and ceiling.
Why is my skylight leaking?
Most skylight leaks come from deteriorated or improperly installed flashing around the frame, rather than a failure in the glass itself. A Home Inspection Specialist can diagnose whether a simple flashing repair or full unit replacement is required.
Can a foggy skylight be repaired, or does it need to be replaced?
Fogging or condensation between the glass panes means the thermal seal has failed. In most cases, the glass unit or full assembly needs replacement to restore clarity and energy performance.
Do solar-powered skylights require electrical wiring?
No. Solar-powered skylights operate on a built-in solar panel and rechargeable battery, eliminating the need to run hardwired electrical connections through your ceiling.
What is the difference between a skylight and a sun tunnel?
A skylight is a full window set into your roofline, ideal for larger living spaces. A sun tunnel uses a reflective tube to channel natural daylight from your roof into smaller, enclosed areas like hallways, closets, or bathrooms.
