The contrast is stark between stepping into a home with scarce natural light and one bathed in the sun’s warmth from skylights. The airy, bright ambiance from extra windows adds a welcoming touch to the coziness of a home. Skylights not only enhance inner comfort but also bring forth a range of additional benefits.
To start, what would a skylight cost in the Southern Massachusetts area? The average cost of a skylight is $2,600, however, it can range from $1,500 to $3,700. It all depends on factors including the type of skylight, installation process, and other factors.

Benefits of a Skylight
Let’s explore some of the amazing benefits of skylights in a home.
- Natural Light – As mentioned above, the beauty and comfort of natural sunlight just can’t be matched with any lightbulb.
- Health Benefits – Benefits may include decreased eye strain, less stress, fewer headaches, improved sleep cycles, and reduced depression.
- Ventilation – When the temperature in a home accelerates, opening a skylight to eliminate the heat can be quite helpful in keeping the home cooler.
- Assistance with removal of smoke from kitchen mishaps – Skylights can help clean the air by releasing the smell out of the ceiling.
- Keep mold and mildew at bay from excess bathroom moisture.
- Privacy – Homeowners desire a particular level of privacy in a home. Skylights can offer light to enter the home without opening the blinds and giving the nosy neighbors something to do.
- Home Value – Skylights offer an additional bonus to those selling their home.
- Energy Savings – The increase in natural light means a decrease in the use of lamps and room lighting.
