Premium Skylights & Sun Tunnels
Natural daylight does more than just illuminate a room—it transforms the entire feel of a space, improves indoor mood, lowers energy dependency, and highlights architectural design. Whether you are looking to create a bright, open atmosphere in a residential living room or introduce healthy, productive natural light to a commercial office or warehouse, Excellent Roofing provides elite daylighting systems engineered for maximum efficiency and leak-free security.
As a certified installer for industry-leading manufacturers like VELUX®, we bring over 20 years of local expertise to every installation and repair across Tennessee, Mississippi, and Arkansas. We ensure your new skylights or sun tunnels are structurally flawless, perfectly sealed, and beautifully integrated into your roofline.
skylights and sun tunnels
Choosing the Right Daylighting System for Your Property
Skylights are ideal for rooms directly below the roofline where you want to make a bold architectural statement, maximize views of the sky, or introduce natural ventilation.
Architectural Skylights (Visual Drama & Expansive Light)
Skylights are ideal for rooms directly below the roofline where you want to make a bold architectural statement, maximize views of the sky, or introduce natural ventilation.
Fixed vs. Venting Options: Choose between fixed skylights for pure illumination or venting skylights that open—either manually or via remote control—to release trapped heat and introduce fresh air.
Advanced Solar-Powered Models: Modern venting skylights feature built-in solar panels to open and close seamlessly, equipped with smart rain sensors that automatically close the glass at the first drop of precipitation.
Energy-Efficient Glazing: We install premium, dual-pane glass treated with Low-E coatings to reflect harmful UV rays, preventing your furniture from fading while keeping summer heat outside.
Tubular Sun Tunnels (Flexible, Targeted Illumination)
Sun Tunnels (also known as solar tubes) are a highly innovative, budget-friendly solution for spaces where a traditional skylight won’t fit—such as rooms separated from the roof by a deep attic, dark hallways, walk-in closets, or interior commercial restrooms.
How They Work: A highly reflective, weather-resistant dome captures sunlight on your roof. That light is then funneled down through a highly reflective rigid or flexible tube, reflecting up to 99% of the sunlight directly into a sleek ceiling diffuser that looks just like a standard recessed light fixture.
Unparalleled Flexibility: Sun tunnels easily bypass attic obstructions like HVAC ductwork or structural framing, delivering brilliant natural light exactly where you need it most.
Rapid Installation: Because they require no drywall remodeling or major structural alterations, sun tunnels can often be installed in just a few hours.
Residential Daylighting: Brightening Your Home Safely
For homeowners, the biggest concern with adding a skylight or sun tunnel is the fear of future roof leaks. At Excellent Roofing, we eliminate that risk entirely by employing specialized flashing kits and advanced weatherproofing membranes.
When you partner with us to upgrade your home, you gain major benefits:
The VELUX No-Leak Guarantee:
By utilizing specialized, three-layer water protection systems on certified installations, we offer complete peace of mind against the heaviest Mid-South downpours.
Drastic Energy
Savings:
Introducing natural daylight means you can keep your electric lights turned off for the majority of the day, noticeably reducing your monthly utility costs.
Substantial Solar Tax Credits:
Homeowners who install solar-powered venting skylights or solar-powered automated blinds can qualify for a federal tax credit, allowing you to deduct up to 30% of the total product and installation cost from your federal taxes.
Commercial Daylighting:
Productivity, Safety & Operational Savings
For commercial property managers, industrial facilities, and office buildings, natural light is a strategic operational asset. Large, deep-interior commercial layouts often rely exclusively on high-voltage artificial lighting, creating immense energy overhead.
Lowering Commercial Overhead:
Installing a grid of commercial-grade skylights or high-output sun tunnels allows facilities to utilize “daylight harvesting.” Integrated sensors can dim artificial building lights when natural light is abundant, slashing annual energy costs by 15% to 40%.
Boosting Workplace Productivity:
Studies consistently show that employees working in facilities with natural daylight experience lower eye strain, improved mood, higher focus, and increased productivity.
OSHA-Compliant Fall Protection:
Commercial skylight installations feature heavy-duty, impact-resistant polycarbonate domes or integrated safety cages to ensure absolute safety and compliance for maintenance crews working on your roof.
