Our experts create watertight, energy-efficient daylighting solutions designed to handle the Midwest’s sun, rain, snow, and seasonal temperature swings. For homeowners looking to brighten their home without risking leaks, Star Home delivers daylight with confidence.
Benefits of Skylights and Solar Tubes
Natural light doesn’t just brighten your home—it enhances your overall living environment. Skylights and solar tubes provide an affordable, efficient way to increase interior light without major remodeling.
Brighter Spaces Without Construction:
Light reaches interior rooms, hallways, and bathrooms that traditional windows can’t reach—no wall removal or layout changes needed.
Better Mood and Well-Being:
Daylight exposure supports improved sleep, reduced stress, and a more uplifting home environment.
Lower Energy Costs:
By bringing in more sunlight during the day, you rely less on artificial lighting, reducing utility bills and energy usage.
Increased Home Value:
Homes with professional daylighting features often appraise higher and attract more buyer interest.
Modern, Clean Look:
Solar tubes offer a sleek, compact profile ideal for small rooms, while skylights elevate living rooms, kitchens, and vaulted ceilings.
Every Star Home installation includes waterproof flashing, proper insulation, and a leak-resistant design for long-term durability.
