Adding skylights is one of the fastest ways to change how a space feels. Natural light can make a kitchen look bigger, help a hallway feel less closed in, and brighten rooms that never seem to get enough sun. When you work with an experienced skylight contractor, you also get the peace of mind that comes from proper flashing, correct placement, and a clean, watertight finish.

Ferschke Construction handles skylight installation and skylight replacement across Smithfield, RI. If you have an older unit that fogs up, drips during storms, or has worn seals, we can replace it with a modern system designed for better performance and easier control.

Residential Skylights

Choose from solar-powered, electric, and manual fresh-air skylights, as well as fixed skylights. They all come with a no-leak promise and room-darkening or light-filtering shades. Ask how you can get a 30% federal tax credit for our solar-powered skylights.

Fresh-air skylights are great for spaces that need better airflow, like kitchens, bathrooms, and finished attics. Fixed skylights are a strong choice when your main goal is more daylight and a clean look. If you want comfort control, shades help soften glare and manage brightness throughout the day.

Commercial Skylights

Brighten your restaurant, store, or another type of business with commercial skylights. We carry fixed skylights and Sun Tunnel skylights that come with fall protection and roof monitors.

Commercial skylights can improve the look of your space while cutting down on harsh overhead lighting during daylight hours. For many businesses, natural light also helps create a better customer experience. As your contractor, we help match the right skylight style to your building type, roof layout, and performance needs.

Sun Tunnel Skylights

We are proud to carry and install Sun Tunnel skylights and accessories. Ask about the rigid or the flexible skylights. Our accessories include ceiling rings, solar and electric light kits, and decorative diffuser film.

Sun Tunnel skylights are ideal when a traditional skylight is not practical due to attic space, framing, or roof layout. They work especially well in closets, interior bathrooms, hallways, and laundry areas. Rigid Sun Tunnels typically deliver the strongest light output, while flexible options can help navigate around obstacles.

Roofing And Ventilation Support

We deliver expert roofing services built to last. Our team specializes in asphalt shingle, metal, Flat, and wood roofing, combining strength and style for lasting protection. We also provide professional attic ventilation to enhance airflow and energy efficiency. With quality materials and skilled craftsmanship, we ensure every roof performs beautifully for years to come.

Because skylights tie directly into the roof system, having one team handle both helps reduce headaches. If your skylight replacement is happening during a roof replacement, we can plan everything together for a cleaner install and a tighter finish.

FAQs About Skylights

This FAQ section covers common questions about skylights, including options, materials, process, and what to expect when working with a contractor in Smithfield, RI.

What does skylight installation usually involve?

Skylight installation includes selecting the right unit, cutting and framing the opening when needed, installing the skylight and flashing system, sealing for weather protection, and finishing the interior as appropriate.

What types of skylights do you offer?

We install VELUX skylights including solar-powered, electric, and manual fresh-air skylights, along with fixed skylights. We also install Sun Tunnel skylights in rigid or flexible styles.

How are skylights sealed to prevent leaks?

Modern skylights rely on manufacturer-designed flashing kits, underlayment protection, and correct fastening methods. The details matter, which is why contractor experience is so important.

How is skylight replacement or installation priced?

Pricing depends on skylight type, roof height and pitch, interior finishing needs, and whether you’re replacing an older unit or creating a new opening. Contact us for a FREE estimate so we can quote your exact project.

Why choose VELUX skylights?

VELUX is known for reliable skylight systems, strong flashing options, and practical upgrades like shades and solar-powered controls. Many products include a lifetime warranty, and most carry a no-leak promise when installed correctly.

Do skylights work well in Rhode Island weather?

Yes, when installed properly. Providence County homes deal with wind-driven rain, snow, and freeze-thaw cycles, so correct placement, flashing, and sealing are key to long-term performance.

When should I consider skylight replacement instead of repair?

If your skylight is leaking, fogging between panes, or showing signs of worn seals, replacement is often the smarter move. Newer models are more efficient and typically come with better protection features.

Why hire Ferschke Construction as your skylight contractor?

We are a certified VELUX installer and we treat skylights as part of the roof system, not a quick add-on. That means careful installation, clean workmanship, and a result that looks right and performs the way it should.
