Dallas-Fort Worth's #1 Commercial Skylight Contractor

New installations typically start around $4,500 and increase from there depending on factors like ceiling height, the distance from the ceiling to the roofline, the size of the opening, and the skylight itself. We'll give you an exact quote after assessing your specific space.

A full installation includes framing the ceiling and attic for structural support, cutting and installing the skylight on the roof with proper flashing and sealing, insulating around the skylight to prevent drafts and moisture, and finishing the interior so it blends seamlessly with your ceiling.

Our 10-year warranty covers the installation itself. If a leak or issue arises from how your skylight was installed, we'll correct it at no charge for a full 10 years from your install date.

Yes. In addition to our 10-year installation warranty, your skylight is covered by the manufacturer's product warranty. Velux skylights carry warranties that vary by component - insulating glass is covered for 20 years and acrylic domes for 5 years, with additional hail breakage coverage on qualifying glass models. Skylights with U.S. Skylights acrylic domes carry a 5-year materials and workmanship warranty, with a 10-year hail breakage warranty on qualifying tempered glass models.

Yes! We install skylights on asphalt shingle, clay tile, metal, and flat roofs. Each roof type uses different flashing to keep the installation watertight, and flat roofs require a pitched curb or additional framing to meet the minimum slope skylights need to perform properly and stay under warranty. We'll evaluate your specific roof during the initial consultation to confirm the right approach.

If your skylight has cracked acrylic or glass, has failed multiple times after repair attempts, or the flashing has deteriorated to the point of ongoing leaks, replacement is usually the more cost-effective long-term solution. We'll always assess the specific issue before recommending replacement over repair.

Our skylight replacements come with a 10-year warranty against leaks, backed by proper flashing installation and high-quality materials like Velux flat glass skylights.

Yes. We regularly replace older acrylic bubble skylights, which are prone to cracking and clouding over time, with modern, more durable options.

Yes, this is called a reflash. If the skylight is in good condition but the flashing has failed, we can replace just the flashing - often while upgrading to a Velux flat glass unit - to solve the leak without replacing the whole skylight.

It depends on what's actually causing the leak. In our experience, most residential skylight leaks aren't caused by a failure in the skylight glass or acrylic itself — they're caused by worn-out or improperly installed flashing. Simply resealing the existing flashing often doesn't solve the problem long-term. In most cases, the real fix is a full flashing replacement, which we cover on our Skylight Replacement page. We'll always give you a straight answer on what's actually needed before recommending any work.

The three most common causes we see are failed or deteriorated flashing, age-related cracking in the skylight material, and hail or storm damage. A proper inspection can usually identify the exact cause quickly.

Yes. We install heat screens designed specifically for either flat-glass or acrylic bubble skylights, which significantly cut heat gain and UV exposure while preserving natural light.

Most component-level repairs - resealing, minor hardware fixes, heat screen installs - can be completed in a single visit, often within a few hours. Jobs that involve flashing diagnosis or more extensive work may take longer depending on roof access and the extent of the damage. We'll give you a clear time estimate after inspecting your skylight.

In many cases, yes. Hail and storm damage to skylights is often covered under a standard homeowners policy, though coverage details vary by insurer and policy. We can document the damage and provide documentation to support your claim, but we'd recommend confirming coverage specifics directly with your insurance provider.

Yes. While Skylight Solutions is based in Dallas and primarily serves the full DFW Metroplex -- including Fort Worth, Plano, Irving, Garland, Frisco, McKinney, and Arlington -- commercial projects are served statewide across Texas. For larger commercial jobs, the team travels throughout the state. If you have a commercial property in Houston, San Antonio, Austin, or elsewhere in Texas, call (972) 263-6033 to discuss your project scope.

Commercial buildings in Texas have several skylight options depending on the space and performance goals. The most common types include polycarbonate dome units, Velux VMS commercial skylights, Velux-Wasco structural skylights, barrel vault skylights, cluster skylight systems, and fully custom structural glazing. Dome units work well for warehouses and manufacturing facilities. Barrel vault and cluster designs are popular in retail centers, schools, and office lobbies where architectural impact matters. Skylight Solutions installs all of these and can help match the right system to your roof type and daylighting goals.

A leaking commercial skylight usually points to one of three things: failed perimeter sealant, a cracked or deteriorated dome/glazing panel, or flashing that has lifted or corroded. Do not ignore a slow leak. Water infiltration into a commercial roof system compounds fast, leading to insulation damage, deck rot, and interior ceiling damage that far exceeds the cost of a repair. Skylight Solutions specializes in commercial skylight leak repair and resealing across Dallas-Fort Worth. We diagnose the source, reseal or replace the affected components, and restore the skylight's waterproof integrity. Call for a free estimate: (972) 263-6033.

In the Texas climate, most commercial skylights have a functional lifespan of 15 to 30 years depending on the material. Polycarbonate dome skylights typically last 15 to 20 years before UV degradation causes yellowing, hazing, and brittleness. High-quality structural glass systems from manufacturers like Velux can last 25 to 30+ years with proper maintenance. Texas heat, hail, and intense UV exposure accelerate wear on gaskets and sealants, so annual inspections are strongly recommended. If your commercial skylights are over 15 years old and showing discoloration, condensation between panes, or recurring leaks, replacement is likely the more cost-effective path.

Yes, and the impact is significant when the system is properly specified. Daylighting through commercial skylights reduces dependence on artificial lighting during peak daylight hours, which in Texas means 8 to 10 hours of meaningful light reduction per day. Velux commercial skylight systems are engineered for optimal light diffusion with low solar heat gain coefficients, which means you get natural light without the heat load that drives up cooling costs. Studies consistently show 20-40% reductions in lighting-related energy use in well-daylit commercial spaces. For buildings with high cooling loads, pairing commercial skylights with low-SHGC glazing is the key to keeping energy bills down.

In Texas, roofing contractors, including those installing or repairing commercial skylights, are not required to hold a state-issued roofing license, but they are required to carry general liability insurance and should hold workers' compensation coverage for any crew working on your property. For commercial projects, you should also verify that the contractor is familiar with local building codes and permit requirements, as structural skylight installations on commercial buildings typically require a permit and inspection. Skylight Solutions is fully licensed and insured, and we handle permitting coordination as part of our commercial project process.

A repair is appropriate when the skylight frame and curb are structurally sound but the sealant, glazing tape, or dome surface has failed. Resealing and reglazing are cost-effective fixes that restore weathertightness without pulling out the whole unit. Replacement is the right call when the dome or glass has cracked, yellowed severely, or lost its structural integrity, or when the frame itself has corroded or warped. On older commercial buildings, it often makes more sense financially to replace a deteriorated 20-year-old system with a modern, energy-efficient unit than to keep patching it. Skylight Solutions evaluates both options and gives you an honest recommendation based on the actual condition of your skylights.
