Read Testimonials St. Louis Skylights' New Office and Showroom in Chesterfield Valley
Effective the first week of May, 2010, St. Louis Skylights and our parent company, National Skylight Solutions, will occupy new offices in an upscale office building at 234 Trade Center Boulevard in Chesterfield Valley. Our new location is just one block west of our previous offices near Edison Avenue and Chesterfield Industrial Blvd.
We're very excited to provide our homeowners as well as our construction trade partners these new modern facilities, including a more spacious showroom with Velux displays and product information. Our new larger warehouse space will enable us to keep in stock more Velux skylights for retail sale than any other local distribution outlet. The expanded facilities were needed to due to the success of St. Louis Skylights and the continued growth of National Skylight Solutions, which has opened four new skylight branch offices within the past three years.
Please call 636-536-2000 to set up a daylighting consultation at our showroom. We're open Monday - Friday from 9:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. You may also contact St. Louis Skylights to schedule a free on-site inspection at your home or business.

I love my new skylights, the install crew did a great job! Everyone that I have shown the skylights to think they are the coolest! Working with everyone at St. Louis Skylights was a great experience, everyone treated me like I was an old friend.
Ronald Moen
We are very happy with our two new skylights, and equally pleased with the repair done on the two old skylights. Your installation team were true "pros", know what they were doing, were efficient, kept the mess to a minimum and cleaned up at the end of the first day as well. In fact the entire project was done much faster than was planned which was great for us. The size and placement of the new skylights in our family room turned out to be just perfect, thanks to the patience of your staff working with my wife. Please feel free to use us as a reference for anyone who has any concerns about your product, installation staff or the quality of the work. We are very, very pleased with everything involved.
David Gratz

I couldn't be happier . . . the young man you sent was very professional and courteous and did an excellent job. I would highly recommend your company and if given the opportunity I will.

Kevin Seversen
I will say that working with St. Louis Skylights was great! Everyone was polite and most of all knowledgeable. I was truly impressed with your turn around time. I called on Thursday and you replaced the skylight Friday morning. I can't believe how great the new skylight looks, definitely makes me understand the age of the one that was replaced. I will be sure to spread the word about St. Louis Skylights whenever possible.
Jimmy and Laura Turner
Laura and I were very pleased with our experience with St. Louis Skylights. Jeff was most professional and accommodating to our needs and the install crew did a terrific job.

I am delighted with my sun tunnel. The installation was very quick, without mess. I am constantly trying to turn off the light in my windowless bathroom!
Ken and Margaret Blades

Things went great and fast. I was very appreciative of the work and professionalism of your folks.
Jerry Thierheimer - Fenton, Missouri
Thanks for your personal visit and legwork to get the paperwork done for me. Appreciate the crew that worked in my home. Extremely well mannered, and they petted and put up with Dillon the wonder greyhound! Crew was professional, diligent in caring for my property as they expertly installed my beautiful and blinding new skylights. I can actually see birds in air and stars at night! As crew finished they asked me to inspect their work for any problems. None, and no complaints. I was pleasantly surprised when I got the call to arrive early last week and begin working. Christmas arrived early! Thanks for reaffirming my belief in companies that give a darn about their work.
Joann Tiemann - St. Louis, Missouri
I'm really pleased with the installation of the skylights! All of your staff have been most friendly and informative and accommodating. I'll be sure to pass the word around to friends who may need similar work.
Michael Dunnington - Ballwin, Missouri
Thank you! Nice job. We gave your name to one of our neighbors that have a similar problem.
Missy Rung - St. Charles, Missouri
My new skylight was installed yesterday. It looks great and I love the extra light it gives to my bathroom. Thank you so much! I tell everyone about my skylights.
Pat and Al Lowe - Fenton, Missouri
We just want to tell you what a great product you have. We had 2 tubular skylights installed in our house in areas that were dark, a hallway and a part of the master bath. The difference between night and day really applies here. The tubular skylights turned the dark areas light. And this is with very overcast days. Our son wanted to know how you turn off the new lights! In addition, your service people were very knowledgeable in their work. The installers were quiet, clean, and professional. Once again thanks for the great product. St. Louis Skylights did a great job. When we can afford it, we plan to install 2 more.
Tom and Rita Keefe - Swansea, Illinois
Quick and efficient installation! With all the natural light pouring in, we are very pleased with the results.
Margaret Oberhaus - Valley Park, Missouri
Just wanted to thank you for the check (referral check). I recommended you because I found your company to be the best and fairest in price and service. I didn't expect any compensation for referring you. It came as a wonderful surprise and is very much appreciated. As you noticed, I have moved but I will continue to recommend your company to people who are in need of your service. I do not expect any compensation for this, only that you provide the same service, honesty, and consideration to the people I refer. Keep up the exceptional work and thank you again for your generosity.
Marianne Toenjes - Ellisville, Missouri
The two skylights your company installed in our inside bathrooms are wonderful, often brighter than an electric fixture. Even on cloudy days there is enough light to make the rooms usable in case of a power outage. I proudly show them to all visitors and recommend the service provided by St. Louis Skylights.
