In Barrington, adding a skylight is a great way to brighten rooms that face the bay, the river or tree-lined side streets. One of the first questions we hear is what it costs to do it right.

For most professionally installed skylights in Barrington, projects typically fall between $2,000 and $7,000 per skylight, depending on the skylight style and the interior finish work required.

Several factors affect where your project lands in that range:

• Fixed vs. venting vs. solar venting, Fixed units bring in light at the lowest cost, manual venting skylights add airflow, and solar-powered venting skylights with rain sensors sit toward the higher end.
• Shades and accessories, Factory shades (manual, electric or solar) add comfort and light control and increase the total investment.
• Size and location, Larger skylights or those installed in tall or complex roof areas require more labor and materials.
• Interior finish work, Simple shafts and basic drywall work cost less; deeper light wells or custom finishes cost more.

We help Barrington homeowners decide whether a fixed, venting or solar venting skylight is best for spaces like kitchens, bathrooms, stairwells and finished attics. Our goal is to match the skylight type to how you actually use the room, not just what looks good on paper.
