Let the Texas Sun Work for You

In the heart of Texas, where the sun shines for more than 230 days a year, harnessing daylight isn’t just a design choice—it’s a smart energy decision. Energy-efficient skylights allow homeowners to take advantage of natural light while minimizing heat gain, reducing reliance on artificial lighting and air conditioning.

For eco-conscious homeowners in the Dallas–Fort Worth area, modern skylight technology—especially from trusted brands like Velux—is transforming homes into greener, brighter, more efficient spaces.


Why Energy-Efficient Skylights Matter in Texas

Traditional skylights once had a reputation for leaks or excess heat. But today’s energy-efficient models are engineered for performance. Skylight Solutions proudly installs and services top-quality skylights across Dallas–Fort Worth that help regulate temperature, protect interiors, and lower utility bills.

Key benefits include:

  • UV-Filtering Glazing: Protects furniture and flooring from sun damage.

  • Low-E Glass: Reduces solar heat gain during Texas summers and improves insulation during winters.

  • Passive Ventilation: Optional vented skylights allow hot air to escape, naturally cooling the home.

With proper skylight installation and repair, you can create a home that’s not only more sustainable, but also healthier and more enjoyable to live in.


Velux Skylights: Our Go-To for Efficiency and Durability

At Skylight Solutions, we specialize in Velux products for a reason—they consistently deliver high performance and durability. Whether you're looking for a fixed skylight to brighten a hallway or a solar-powered venting unit for a kitchen or bathroom, Velux has options that fit both modern aesthetics and eco-efficiency goals.

Plus, many Velux models qualify for federal tax credits thanks to their ENERGY STAR® certifications and solar-powered features.


Ideal Skylight Placement for Maximum Efficiency

Choosing the right location is key. South-facing skylights maximize light but may require glazing that blocks excess heat. North-facing units offer consistent, soft daylight throughout the day. Our team performs in-home assessments to recommend optimal placement that suits your home’s layout, energy goals, and budget.


Repair or Replace? Signs You May Need Skylight Service

If you already have a skylight but it’s underperforming—or worse, leaking—it may be time for skylight repair or replacement. Here’s what to watch for:

  • Condensation buildup or fogging between panes

  • Visible cracks or yellowing in the glazing

  • Drafts or uneven indoor temperatures

  • Water stains or leaks near the frame

Our Dallas–Fort Worth skylight service team can inspect and determine whether a simple repair will extend the life of your skylight—or if a modern, energy-efficient upgrade is the better move.


Professional Skylight Installation Matters

Even the most advanced skylight won’t perform if it’s installed poorly. Our technicians ensure a watertight fit, precision flashing, and insulation that maximizes performance. Whether you're adding new skylights to a home or replacing outdated models, we ensure quality work that meets manufacturer standards and Texas building codes.

And with years of experience across DFW, we know how to install for longevity—even through the region’s harsh weather swings and storm seasons.


Go Green, Stay Cool—And Brighten Your Home

  • Lower electricity bills

  • Improved daylight and air circulation

  • Reduced environmental impact
