Transform your space with the benefits of natural light through expert skylight installation.
Professional skylight installation by certified technicians with years of experience.
Personalized design consultations to find the perfect skylight solution for your space.
Voice-controlled Velux skylights, scheduled venting, and automatic rain-close. We pair your VSE or VSS with the Velux App Control gateway and integrate with Apple HomeKit or Google Assistant.
Custom skylight designs tailored to your home's unique architecture and style.
Old dome or plastic skylight leaking or fogging? We replace it with a modern flat-glass or curb-mounted Velux — often reusing the existing curb to keep cost down.
Energy-efficient skylight enhancements that reduce utility costs and improve comfort.
Non-rectangular openings, oversized spans, and one-off geometries — designed and fabricated to your specification. Configurations we install:
Two glass planes meeting at a central ridge. Ideal for great rooms, gallery halls, and entryway ceilings where a peaked glass profile creates dramatic overhead light.
Four glass panels converging to a central peak. Encloses square openings elegantly — atriums, interior courtyards, staircase towers, and covered patios.
Pyramid variant for openings with five or more sides — polygonal atriums, rotundas, and custom-shaped skylight wells that a standard four-sided pyramid can't fit.
Continuous curved glass forming an arch. Perfect for gallery hallways, oversized entry canopies, and pool enclosures. Alternative to standard dome geometries.
Pyramidal geometry within a rectangular opening — sloped end panels plus a central ridge. Fits linear openings where a full pyramid won't sit correctly.
Single sloped glass plane installed against a wall. Common on additions, sunrooms, courtyard corners, and perimeter shed roofs.
Also available on request: segmented barrel vaults, double-pitch flat-roof configurations, and custom curb-mounted flat sizes beyond standard manufacturer offerings. Glazing options include single- or double-glazed, tempered or laminated glass, tinted, and impact-rated for coastal exposure.

Get a Free EstimateIt depends on four factors: your roof pitch (flat, low-slope, or pitched), your ceiling type (flat with a light shaft vs. cathedral), whether you want ventilation, and how much natural light you need. Velux FCM (Fixed Curb-Mount) skylights work best for flat and low-slope roofs 0-15° — the curb elevates the skylight above the drainage plane. VS (manual venting), VSE (solar-powered venting), and VCS (electric venting) let hot air escape during summer, reducing AC load. VCM/VCS models are for cathedral or vaulted ceilings where the skylight sits flush with the interior. Sizes range from 22-inch × 22-inch (great for closets and hallways) to 46-inch × 72-inch (living-room daylighting). Halo Build Co is a Velux dealer and can spec the right unit during a free on-site consultation, factoring in roof structure, sun exposure, and glare control.
A standard Velux flat-glass skylight installation in Los Angeles ranges from $1,800 to $3,500 fully installed. This includes the Velux unit, roof-matched flashing kit, curb (if the roof requires one), labor, and ceiling drywall patching. Larger units (46-inch × 72-inch) and venting models with solar/electric operators run $3,500-$6,500. Custom fabricated ridge and pyramid skylights cost $8,000-$25,000+ depending on span, glass specification (tempered vs. laminated, low-E, tinted, self-cleaning), and structural framing needs. If you're replacing an existing skylight and the curb is sound, we can often reuse it, saving $400-$800. Halo Build Co provides an itemized written estimate before starting and there are no surprise change orders unless structural damage is discovered during removal.
Yes — dome-to-flat-glass replacement is one of our most common skylight jobs in Los Angeles. Yellowed, cloudy, or cracked acrylic and polycarbonate domes typically fail after 15-20 years due to UV exposure — they leak, yellow, and can shatter in windstorms. Halo Build Co replaces them with modern tempered flat-glass Velux skylights that don't yellow, don't fog, and carry Velux's 10-year no-leak warranty. Process takes one day: we remove the old dome, inspect and adapt the existing curb (often reusable, saving $400-$800), replace deteriorated flashing and roof underlayment around the opening, install the new Velux unit with a manufacturer flashing kit matched to your roof material, and patch interior drywall or ceiling texture. The visual and thermal upgrade is dramatic — noticeable temperature reduction on summer days and much clearer daylight.
Not when installed correctly. Skylight leaks come from three sources: incorrect flashing (mismatched to roof material or improperly integrated with the underlayment), skimped curb sealing (missing ice-and-water shield or poorly lapped), or roof deck rot around the existing opening (undetected during install). Halo Build Co eliminates all three: we use only Velux flashing kits matched exactly to your roof material — asphalt shingle, tile, standing-seam metal, flat torch-down, or gravel — install per Velux's specifications with the underlayment properly interleaved, and inspect the roof deck for rot before setting the unit. Our skylight work carries a 10-year Halo workmanship warranty on top of the Velux 10-year no-leak product warranty. Combined, that's 10 years of coverage on the material AND the labor.
Yes — modern Velux skylights are significantly more energy-efficient than older single-pane domes or acrylic units. Standard Velux flat-glass units are insulated glazing (IG) with two panes, argon gas fill between them, and a low-E (low-emissivity) coating that reflects infrared heat while letting visible light pass. U-factor is typically 0.30-0.45 (vs. 1.0+ for old single-pane), meaning roughly 60-70% less heat transfer. Solar-powered venting Velux models (VSE) automatically open on hot days, exhausting trapped attic heat and reducing air conditioning load. Both fixed and venting Velux skylights currently qualify for the federal Residential Clean Energy Credit (Section 25D of the tax code) — 30% of the installed cost for qualifying models through 2032. We provide the manufacturer's tax-credit certification documents at project completion.
Most single-unit Velux installations in Los Angeles are finished in one to two days on site. A Sun Tunnel is the fastest case: because the rigid or flex tube passes between existing ceiling joists, no framing is altered and the work is routinely completed within a single day. A fixed or venting skylight into an existing opening is typically a one-day job as well. The timeline extends when a new opening has to be cut, because that means framing the rough opening, building or setting a curb, flashing it into the roof covering, and then finishing the interior shaft and drywall — usually two to four days in total, with the interior finish often trailing the roof work. Permit review, not construction, is the part most likely to set the overall start date, so we file early and schedule the crew against the approval rather than the other way round.
