Bring natural light into your home with professional Velux skylight installation and expert flashing.
Bring Natural Light Into Your Home
Our premium skylight installation services offer an exceptional way to enhance your home with natural light. We work with the full VELUX residential lineup — including their solar-powered automatic skylights with built-in rain sensors that close themselves when a storm rolls in.
Whether you're brightening a dark hallway, adding a focal point to your kitchen, or venting a steamy bathroom, we'll match you with the right model and install it so it lasts — backed by both the VELUX No Leak warranty and our own workmanship guarantee.
Fixed Skylight + Automatic Blackout Blind
One product solves two problems at once — flood the room with daylight when you want it, blackout dark when you don't. Zero wiring, zero compromise.
Daylight by day. Pure dark by night.
We install the VELUX Fixed Deck-Mount Skylight in the same job as the Solar Powered Blackout Blind — one trip, one crew, one clean install. Pacific Northwest light, finally on your terms.

"Bellevue master bedroom — dim and cave-like before, flooded with morning light after."
Automatic Skylights Are Worth It
Most homeowners ask about manual skylights first because they sound simpler. After we explain what automatic models actually do, almost everyone goes automatic. Here's why.
Built-in rain sensor
Storm rolls in while you're at work? The skylight closes itself the moment the first drop hits the sensor. No alerts, no panic, no water on the floor.
Remote control
Open and close from across the room — or pair it with smart home setups so it works on a schedule. No more standing on a chair with a pole.
Solar option = no wiring
VELUX Solar Powered (VSS) models charge a small panel on the roof. No electrician, no holes in your ceiling, no extra electrical permit.
Real ventilation, not just light
Hot air rises. Vented skylights pull stale, humid air straight up and out — kitchens stay cooler, bathrooms dry faster, the whole house breathes better.
Battery backup on solar models
The solar models keep working in cloudy Pacific Northwest weather thanks to an internal battery. Yes, even Seattle gets enough sun.
Insect screen included
Open the skylight as wide as you want without inviting mosquitoes or wasps. The screen tucks away when the skylight is closed.
Stark's recommendation: For 9 out of 10 homes we install in, the VELUX Solar Powered "Fresh Air" model is the right call. No wiring headaches, the rain sensor saves your floors, and you'll actually use it because the remote makes it effortless.
