Our Natural Light Solutions

We offer two primary ways to transform dark spaces into bright, inviting areas: traditional skylights for large impact and sun tunnels for targeted light.

Pre-Installation Assessment & Planning

We start with a detailed inspection to determine the optimal placement for your skylight or sun tunnel considering roof slope, framing, structural supports, and interior layout. We coordinate with you to choose the right product, such as a manual or vented skylight, fixed skylight, or sun tunnel to best match your home and lighting goals.

Professional Removal & Framing Preparation

If needed, we carefully remove existing roofing or roofing components at the installation area. We prepare the framing and roof deck to safely support the new skylight or tunnel. All work complies with local building codes and manufacturer specifications.
