Skylights have become increasingly popular among homeowners in Bridgewater, Martinsville, Warren, Basking Ridge, Bedminster, Hillsborough, & Somerset, NJ and the surrounding areas. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, properly installed skylights can reduce the need for electric lighting by up to 80 percent during daylight hours. That translates to lower energy bills, a smaller carbon footprint, and a living environment that feels open and inviting. Whether you are building a new home, renovating a kitchen, or upgrading a dark hallway, skylights offer a practical and aesthetically powerful solution that adds both value and comfort.
Types of Skylights We Install
Not all skylights are created equal, and selecting the right type depends on your roof pitch, ventilation needs, and aesthetic preferences. We work extensively with Velux skylights, a globally recognized brand known for engineering excellence, energy efficiency, and long-lasting durability. Velux offers a range of products that we are proud to recommend and install for residential and commercial projects alike. Their skylights come with advanced glazing options, integrated blinds, and solar-powered ventilation features that make them a smart investment for any property.
Here are the primary skylight types we install and the situations where each one excels:
- Fixed skylights are ideal for rooms where additional light is the primary goal, such as hallways, stairwells, and closets, and they provide a watertight seal without any moving parts
- Vented skylights open manually or with electric and solar-powered controls to allow fresh air circulation, making them perfect for kitchens and bathrooms where moisture buildup is a concern
- Tubular skylights channel sunlight through a reflective tube and are designed for smaller spaces or areas where a traditional skylight footprint would not be practical
- Custom skylights are built to unique specifications for architectural projects that require non-standard sizes, shapes, or configurations
Our Installation Process
Every skylight project at W.C. Construction LLC begins with a free estimate with no conditions. The owner will call you or text you as soon as possible to discuss your project goals and schedule an on-site assessment. During this assessment, we evaluate your roof structure, pitch, orientation, and attic space to determine the optimal skylight placement. Proper placement is critical because it affects how much light enters the room, how heat gain and loss are managed, and how effectively the skylight integrates with your existing roofing materials.
Once we finalize the design, our team handles every phase of the installation from start to finish. We cut precise openings in the roof deck, install proper flashing kits to prevent leaks, frame the curb or deck mount depending on the skylight model, and construct the interior light shaft that directs sunlight into the room below. As a HomeAdvisor approved contractor, we adhere to rigorous quality standards throughout the process. We also ensure the fastest turnaround time possible without compromising workmanship.
Skylight Replacement and Repair
Older skylights can develop issues such as condensation between glass panes, cracked domes, deteriorated seals, and flashing failures. If your skylight is more than fifteen to twenty years old, replacement is often more cost-effective than repeated repairs. Modern Velux skylights feature low-emissivity coatings, argon gas fills between panes, and impact-resistant glazing that far surpass the performance of older models. Upgrading your skylight during a roof replacement project is especially efficient because the area is already exposed and accessible.
- Inspection of the existing skylight and surrounding roof structure to assess the extent of damage or deterioration
- Removal of the old skylight unit along with any compromised flashing or framing components
- Installation of the new skylight with fresh flashing, proper insulation, and a sealed interior finish
- Final review to verify watertight performance, smooth operation of venting mechanisms, and clean aesthetics inside and out
