VELUX Certified Skylight Installers
Natural Light Is the Most Affordable Home Upgrade You Haven't Made Yet
A single well-placed skylight can do what no paint color or light fixture can — it fills a room with living, shifting natural light that follows the arc of the sun throughout the day. Northern Virginia homes are built close together, and many rooms that should be bright are chronically dark.
Home Exterior VA installs VELUX and other premium skylights with full manufacturer-matched flashing systems — the critical component that separates a skylight that lasts 20 years from one that leaks in two. Every installation is backed by our written workmanship warranty and the manufacturer's product warranty.
- VELUX certified installation — industry's strongest warranty
- Fixed, vented, and tubular skylight options
- Manufacturer-matched flashing — no aftermarket shortcuts
- Interior light shaft finished to match your home
- Electric and solar-powered venting options available
- Most installations completed in one day
Types of Skylights We Install
Every home, roof configuration, and light requirement is different. We help you choose the right solution.
Fixed Skylights
Non-opening units designed purely for daylighting. Ideal for rooms where ventilation isn't needed — hallways, vaulted living rooms, home offices. Energy-efficient double or triple-pane glass available.
Vented Skylights
Opens manually or via remote motor to provide both natural light and fresh air circulation. Dramatically reduces attic heat buildup in Northern Virginia summers. Built-in rain sensors close automatically.
Tubular Skylights (Sun Tunnels)
A reflective tube channels sunlight from your roof to interior rooms — even those far from exterior walls. Perfect for dark closets, hallways, and bathrooms where a traditional skylight isn't structurally feasible.
Custom & Specialty Skylights
Pyramid skylights, ridge skylights, curb-mounted units for flat roofs, and architectural specialty glass. We engineer and install custom configurations for unique architectural applications.
Why Add a Skylight to Your Home?
Beyond beauty — the practical, measurable case for skylight investment
Natural Light & Mood
Studies show natural light improves productivity, mood, and sleep cycles. A well-placed skylight can transform a dark, oppressive room into an inviting, energizing space.
Passive Solar Heating
South-facing skylights act as passive solar collectors in winter, reducing heating costs. In summer, vented skylights exhaust hot air — reducing AC load.
Lower Energy Bills
Daylighting replaces artificial lighting for hours each day. VELUX Energy Star certified skylights can qualify for federal tax credits.
Home Value Increase
Skylights consistently rank among the top return-on-investment home improvements, adding perceived square footage and architectural interest.

Every step engineered for a leak-free, beautiful result
Site Assessment & Structural Review
We assess your roof structure, attic depth, and ceiling layout to determine the optimal skylight placement. We evaluate rafter spacing, insulation, and existing obstructions.
Product Selection & Estimate
Choose from VELUX, Sun Tunnel, and other premium manufacturers. We help you select the right size, glass type (low-E, laminated, impact-resistant), and operating style.
Flashing & Waterproofing System
The flashing — not the skylight itself — is what keeps water out for decades. We install manufacturer-matched flashing kits with integrated waterproofing membrane, never makeshift solutions.
Interior Finish & Trim
We finish the interior shaft (the light well connecting your roof to your ceiling) with drywall or wood trim, painted to match your existing interior. Clean, professional, no raw edges.
Leak Test & Warranty
We test for watertightness before leaving and register your manufacturer warranty. Our workmanship warranty covers all flashing and installation work.
