When you’re looking for natural lighting solutions for your Massachusetts home, consider our skylight installation service. Whether you have a kitchen that needs extra light, a bathroom that can benefit from added ventilation, or a small space that needs subtle illumination, there are skylights for every room.

Formerly DelPrete Home Improvements is the trusted choice for skylight installations and replacements in the Massachusetts area. We have a team of experts that can help you choose the right skylight for your unique home and space. We’ll be with you through the entire skylight process, from consultation through installation and after-installation support.

Skylights for homes can be placed in any room or space. Even dark basements can have sun tunnels installed to bring some light to dim places. Kitchens, bathrooms, and laundry rooms are ideal locales for skylights that open to provide light and ventilation. Attics can benefit from added light from fixed skylights, and multiple skylights installed above a living room can brighten the area and add an inviting ambiance to the room.

Any home in our service area can feature skylights. From automatic opening and closing Velux skylights in your kitchen to sun tunnel skylights that add diffused light in dark spaces, these home improvements are solid investments that you’ll love. In addition, skylights help to improve energy efficiency when they’re opened, by moving hot air that’s trapped near the ceiling outside.

While the other skylight manufacturers are all but gone, VELUX remains at the top! Formerly DelPrete Home Improvements, Inc. is a known and respected certified installer of all VELUX models. We’ll be more than happy to assess your roof and the types of skylights that will work best for you. It’s important to note that not all skylights are the same, and uncertified and untrained roofers may make mistakes that cause skylights to leak and warranties to be null and void.

Don’t risk an improperly installed skylight by hiring the wrong contractor for the job. Instead, choose Formerly DelPrete Home Improvements, Inc. to ensure it’s done right the first time!

Sun Tunnel Skylights

Introducing the VELUX SUN TUNNEL™ skylight – the most innovative skylight in the industry. The new product design delivers brighter natural light in just about any area of your home and installs are quick and easy—especially if Formerly DelPrete Home Improvements, Inc. is installing your new roof.

Solar Powered “Fresh Air” Skylights

The Solar Powered “Fresh Air” Skylight features a solar panel that captures any available daylight and uses it to recharge a highly efficient, fully concealed, battery powered operator and control system. The battery powered operator is the power source that opens and closes the skylight and the solar panel serves as the charging source of the system.

VCE Electric Venting Skylights

Designed for curb mounted installations, the VCE electric venting skylight is the ideal daylighting solution for overhead applications. It brings in abundant natural light and with the touch of a button, opens to let in fresh air. And if you forget to close it, the VCE also closes automatically in case of rain.

VCM Manual Venting Skylights

Designed for curb mounted installations, the VCM manual venting skylight enables any home to embrace the best of what nature has to offer. Opening for maximum fresh air, the venting skylight contributes to a home’s proper moisture balance and comfort level by allowing stale, humid air to be released.

FCM Curb Mounted Fixed Skylight

The patented FCM curb mounted fixed skylight is sized to work with all types of site-built curbs, whether they’re slightly out-of-square, pre-existing, or surrounded by unusually thick flashing and roofing material. Heavy-duty materials ensure the FCM skylight is built to withstand the installation process, as well as anything Mother Nature throws its way.

Not all skylights are the same—and neither are the methods used to install them. Unfortunately, we frequently meet homeowners who are dealing with leaking skylights that were recently installed by a roofer who is no longer returning their calls. 

In nearly every case, the issue comes down to one critical mistake: the wrong type of skylight was installed for the roof’s pitch. When this happens, the skylight is far more likely to fail prematurely. 

What makes matters worse is that when homeowners contact Velux to file a warranty claim, they often learn that the warranty is void due to improper installation. The result? The homeowner is left responsible for a leaking skylight and costly repairs—all because the installer was not a certified Velux professional. 

Important to know: Any Velux skylight installed on a roof pitch of 3:12 or less MUST be a curb-mounted skylight. There are no exceptions. 

Proper product selection and correct installation are essential—not only for performance, but to ensure your manufacturer warranty remains valid. 

VELUX shades offer exceptional light control, allowing you to create the ideal ambiance for any room. Each VELUX Skylight System comes standard with a solar-powered, room-darkening skylight shade in white, but additional colors and styles are available to be ordered separately.

• Room Darkening Double Pleated Shades: Room-Darkening Shades offer flexible light and privacy protection, open and close smoothly, and can be controlled remotely.
• Light Filtering Single Pleated Shades: Perfect for living rooms, kitchens, and more, our lighter-filtering shades protect spaces from the most direct sunlight, letting in a diffused, gentle glow.

While adding a skylight or several to your Massachusetts home will be a good investment, you can work with our consultants to find the best fit for your budget. Factors such as roof pitch, ceiling type, sun orientation, mounting style, and skylight product will affect the skylight cost.

At this time, the federal government may offer tax credits for select skylights and windows. As the laws change, we encourage you to contact us at Formerly DelPrete Home Improvements or the Velux help center for more information on rebates, incentives, or tax credits.

Skylights offer beauty, letting natural light stream into homes, accenting their architecture and decor. If you work with Formerly DelPrete Home Improvements, Inc. it’s yes to all!​
