Skylights & sun tunnels —
VELUX, hurricane-rated.

Properly installed VELUX deck-mounted skylights in HVHZ zones use Miami-Dade NOA-approved units with laminated impact glass and engineered flashing kits. Lifetime warranty on the no-leak installation. The leak risk comes from cheaper brands, generic flashing, and contractors who don't follow VELUX's 10-step install protocol — we install to spec, every time.

Skylights add light + view (you can see clouds, sky, stars). Sun Tunnels add light only — through a flexible reflective tube — but install in tight spaces (closets, hallways, interior baths) where a full skylight box wouldn't fit. Sun Tunnels are ~half the cost. We install both — depends on the room and your goal.

For bathrooms and kitchens: yes. The VELUX VSS opens automatically (rain sensor closes it) for ventilation. Adds $400-$700 over fixed glass but qualifies for the federal 30% solar tax credit since the motor + battery are solar-powered. Net cost is often comparable to a fixed skylight.

During a re-roof. The deck is exposed, flashing integrates with the new roof, and we save you the standalone mobilization fee. Standalone installs are doable but cost 30-40% more.
