Certified VELUX Installer
Skylight Installation in the New River Valley
Bring real daylight into the darkest rooms in your home — installed watertight by a roofing company, not a handyman. We're certified VELUX installers serving Christiansburg, Blacksburg, Roanoke, and the surrounding mountains.
A Brighter Room, Done the Roofing Way
A skylight is, at its heart, a hole in your roof — and that's exactly why it has to be flashed and sealed perfectly. Most skylight problems start at the flashing, which is where handymen and general contractors get it wrong. Because we're a roofing company first, we treat every skylight as a roofing detail, using VELUX's engineered flashing kits matched to your exact roof. The result is real daylight with zero leaks.
Daylight Where Windows Can't Reach
Interior bathrooms, hallways, closets, and stairwells often have no exterior wall for a window. A skylight or Sun Tunnel is the only way to bring real daylight into those spaces.
Lower Bills, Better Air
Rooms lit by the sun don't need lamps on during the day. And a venting skylight lets hot, stale air escape at the highest point of the room — a real advantage in Virginia summers and a natural way to clear humidity from bathrooms and kitchens.
Certified & Compliant
A Certified VELUX Installer
We're trained to VELUX's exact flashing and installation specifications. That certification isn't a badge for the website — it's the difference between a skylight that stays dry for decades and one that stains your ceiling the first hard rain. It also means your VELUX No Leak skylight is backed by an industry-leading warranty, including a 10-year installation warranty when installed by a certified professional like us.

Types of Skylights We Install
Not every room needs the same skylight. Here's what we typically recommend.
Fixed Skylights
A sealed, glazed unit built purely to bring in light. The most affordable option — ideal for stairwells, hallways, living rooms, and high vaulted ceilings where you want brightness but don't need ventilation.
Venting (Fresh Air) Skylights
VELUX solar-powered “Fresh Air” skylights open and close on their own — a small solar panel powers the unit, so there's no wiring, and a built-in rain sensor closes it automatically the moment it rains. Best for bathrooms and kitchens, and often eligible for the 30% federal solar tax credit.
Sun Tunnels
When a full skylight won't fit or would cost too much, a Sun Tunnel funnels daylight down a reflective tube into the room below, ending in a flush ceiling fixture that looks like a recessed light — except it runs on sunshine. Perfect for closets, small baths, and laundry rooms.
Installation Done the Roofing Way
A skylight is only as good as its flashing. The unit itself rarely fails — the seal around it does. That's why skylights installed by handymen so often leak, and why we approach every skylight as a roofing detail.
Every VELUX skylight we install goes in with a proper engineered flashing kit matched to your exact roof type — asphalt shingle, metal, or low-slope. We integrate the flashing into your existing roofing layers the way water expects to travel, cut the opening cleanly, frame it correctly, and seal it to VELUX specification. On a re-roof, adding or replacing skylights at the same time is the smartest, most watertight time to do it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do skylights leak?
A properly installed skylight does not leak. Leaks come from bad flashing, not the skylight itself. That's exactly why we install VELUX units with their engineered flashing kits and treat every skylight as a roofing detail — and why VELUX backs a certified installation with a 10-year no-leak warranty.
Will a skylight make my house too hot?
Modern VELUX skylights use low-E, insulated glass that blocks most solar heat while still letting light through. For extra control, factory blinds — including solar-powered ones — let you dial in exactly how much light and heat you want.
Can you add a skylight to any room?
Most rooms, yes — it depends on what's in the attic or roof structure above the ceiling. Rafters, HVAC, and plumbing can affect placement. Where a full skylight won't fit or reach, a Sun Tunnel usually will. We'll look at both your roof and your ceiling and tell you what's possible.
Should I install skylights during a roof replacement?
If you're already re-roofing, it's the ideal time. The roof is open, the flashing integrates cleanly into new roofing, and you avoid disturbing a fresh roof later. Replacing old, cloudy, or leak-prone skylights during a re-roof is one of the best-value upgrades we do.
Are solar-powered skylights worth it?
For bathrooms, kitchens, and any room that traps heat or humidity, yes. They open and close themselves, close automatically in the rain, need no wiring, and often qualify for the 30% federal solar tax credit on the unit and blinds.
