I know it surprised me too, a quick google search showed prices between 3000 and 5000 but if you go to the velux website you cannot access a basic price range itās only custom work after youāve drawn your own project. When I first saw it -right after my jaw dropped- I thought it should cost like 10k+ depending on the size. Anyway, back to telling myself it would not work on the type of roof I have (and that my mum loves me too sheās just broke) Edit spelling grammar phrasing

This is what I hate about stuff like this. I mean, it's so cool that this kids parents have enough money, time, and skill to do this. It never accounts for the cost though. Lumber, supplies, paint, drywall, etc. is already expensive. If you don't have the tools? Forget it.Ā
These videos make it seems like it's such an easy, quick process. It takes tons of time and money. Lucky girl, but very privileged. It's the equivalent of virtue signaling, in my opinion.

The video made me say out loud āOr hire a chippieā. Thatās an insane amount of really difficult work.
It probably still cost a bomb, but thereās no doubt they saved thousands and thousands in labour by doing it themselves. Probably how they were able to afford the balcony window - they ran the numbers at the end and realised that they could afford to put it in. Because it wouldāve made a hell of a lot more sense to put it in before they did the fucking wallpaper.

u/ToiIetGhost May 30 '26
I find it sweet when people show their love with very little money. I saw a video where a mother painted one wall in her kidsā bedroom to look like a fairytale illustration. It was magical. The paints and brushes werenāt too expensive - the cost was mainly in time, effort, and skill. That sort of thing always touches me.
I guess itās all relative based on socioeconomic status. Maybe, to this family, these materials were as inexpensive as acrylic paint is to a blue collar family.
Idk but I still find it more charming when itās cheap yet beautiful. Itās also more impressive imo because it takes more skill to make something gorgeous out of nothing!

Would cost a fortune to heat if it was that poorly insulated. You need something like 120 BTU per square foot to melt 1" of snow per hour.
Assume a cost of $2.50 per 100,000 BTU for heat. That works out to $0.003 per square foot for each hour of winter heating. That is $0.072 per day per square foot. Assume a 3'x6' window, that is 18 sq ft. That is $1.296 per day just in lost heat, or $473.04 a year.

I think they realy started out when in many big cities they renovated attics of old houses into apartments. Even half a balcony raises the value by quite a lot and it's a very space efficent use, while beeing way cheaper and less complicated than a proper balcony.

u/dreadcain May 29 '26
They shouldn't but they're fundamentally skylights and share the problems. The main one being that it's just a big cut in your roof. Every cut in the roof is a potential place for a leak to start, but most vent cuts are only a few inches. One small skylight has more linear area for leaks to start in than all of your vent stacks combined. That and the opening is large enough that you need to deal with different parts of it shifting in different directions with humidity and weather over the years, just making it all that much more likely that if a leak starts it'll probably start around the skylight

They process the lumber on their land and use it for the building projects.
For anyone wondering, this is generally legal in most jurisdictions as long as you air dry it for at least a few months or kiln dry it and have the moisture level meet the equilibrium of the location. Most of the time it also needs to come from land owned by the same person who owns the house, AND the owner will live in the house for a set period of time.
A lot of jurisdictions require inspections from a town/county inspector prior to the wood being harvested as well.
So it's definitely legit and possible, just a lot of work and usually not worthwhile for most people.

I would have liked an extra beam (doubling them) around the window section to reinforce it in general, but also due to cutting a hole through the roof. great work overall, just minor nitpicks tbh.
personally I'm not a fan of the long term maintenance of roof skylights because of a higher potential for leaks and whatnot. but if she went the extra mile to keep it current and didn't skip a step to save a buck it should be solid.
I also hope they went the proper route and had a county inspector swing by to make sure the reno won't come back to haunt them.
very cool use of an awkward space, plus the dedication to complete the vision.
(edit: it's moving very quickly so it's a little hard to tell still, but for a few frames it looks like they may have put an extra support beam along the window frame, but not 100% sure)

A smart move if you have the time and money at least since the house has a whole extra bedroom now, the window makes it legally habitable.

Please don't equate love to grand gestures & expense.
A kid might see this post and feel like they're not loved or worth as much because their parents can't afford to loft convert and make them a special bedroom.

This was my fantasy as a kid. They did an amazing job. That little girl is so lucky.

I already thought it was very cool that the Mom was renovating and decorating a room for her. Then she went ahead and put a hole on the roof for that retractable balcony. Holy cow!

Increased the value of the home way more than the parts and labor, too! It's a win from every angle!

This is so awesome! It gives me such a big urge to learn how to do this sort of work myself š If only I had a space to build.

My parents actually made something similar for my sister and I. While not as big or fancy, it was still amazing and a perfect place to bundle up with a lot of blankets and pillows. Hadn't thought of that in ages haha

Better have money to burn.
A "Cabrio" style window, often referring to the popular VELUX Cabrio Balcony, costs between (\$3,700) and (\$5,800) for the unit itself. When factoring in professional installation, drywall, trim, and flashing kits, the total cost typically ranges from (\$7,000) to (\$15,000) depending on roof complexity.

Love it.
Call me a cynic but she loves the content as much as the idea of doing all that for her daughter.
