Crafting light, inspiring design
At Industrial Skylights, we don’t just build skylights—we create custom architectural solutions that elevate spaces and push the boundaries of design. Founded 21 years ago by John Buell, Industrial Skylights has grown from a one-man operation into a 50-person company.
We specialize in high-end, custom skylight fabrication, partnering closely with architects, designers, and contractors who value quality and creativity. Our work isn’t about one-size-fits-all solutions—it’s about collaboration, craftsmanship, and innovation. Every project is a unique challenge, and we pride ourselves on finding the perfect balance where form and function work together.
Our difference
What sets us apart is John’s passion for creative problem-solving. When others say a design is too complicated or impossible, we lean in. John’s reputation for tackling the toughest design challenges—the ones no one else will touch—has earned us the trust of builders and architects throughout the region. Integrity is at the heart of everything we do, and we never compromise on doing what’s right for our clients and their projects.
Let’s create something extraordinary
If you’re an architect, designer, or contractor looking for a partner who brings creativity, expertise, and a relentless drive to your most ambitious projects, Industrial Skylights is ready to collaborate.

“Industrial Skylights has always worked with our schedule and our budget. If there has ever been an issue on site, John has always bent over backwards to work with us to make things right. For these reasons, Industrial Skylights is the only skylight company we use. ”
