Recent Skylight Installation Reviews in Birmingham
- Blair ExteriorsIt went great! We originally had asked for estimates on some windows, too, but had to defer that. However, we did go ahead with the leaking skylights. They showed up on time, did a very professional job of installation, and completely cleaned up after themselves. The same was true of the chimney cap repaired. The guy noticed that we had a squirrel's nest in there and promised that after we had the chimney cleaned, they would also install some sort of animal guard to help prevent that in the future. There were no additional costs and absolutely no problems. They did an excellent job. I am pleased to also say that after several rains, there have been no leaks with the skylights. Several roofers turned us down for an estimate when I mentioned leaking skylights, but this is apparently one of Blair's specialties
- Authentic RestorationLooked at it from inside and roof. Scott couldn't see any structural deficiencies so he suggested the interior moisture could be condensation. It took him some effort but he recommended that we didn't need roof repair or a new skylight and there was no charge for his efforts. This kind of non-project confirms that they are honest and reliable
- A & H Residential metal roofingThe job went great! They installed a metal roof on my house in 6 hours. I would definitely recommend them to someone.
- Skylight Options, llcEdwin arrived late because rain put him behind schedule. In preparing to install the skylight, he discovered not only a wasp nest in the attic, but rotted boards from my neighbor's gutter! He said improperly installed flashing was causing the water to go down the connecting wall (townhouses), causing mold and rotted boards. There was a gap in the board which the wasps used as an opening for coming and going. Thankfully, he had wasp spray in his truck and he was able to kill them! I love my skylight and wish I had done this years ago! He did a good job and cleaned up after himself. Yes, I would recommend him. I think I could have used a smaller skylight, but I'm not complaining. The difference is literally night and day
- Chucksroofrepair.comChuck was professional and was able to repair a issue with a leak I had over porch area that others were not able to locate. Since the repair , I've had no issues and he also inspected the rest of my roof for any other problem areas. I have used him to replace the backside of my roof due to storm damage, also. I would recommend him to anyone that is serious on having a roofing issue solved once and for all and if I need his service again will not hesitate to contact
- Chucksroofrepair.comChuck responded to email within 24 hrs and scheduled estimate appointment. He and his assistant arrived on time for estimate of work needed. It turned out my sunroom roof/flashing leaks had caused extensive decking damage and a complete roof was needed. I was presented with a complete written estimate, along with verbal explanation of exactly was was needed and why. He detailed the step-by-step the process he would use, his warranty/guaranty, and when he would be available. I wrote a check for supplies, which were delivered within three days. They came at the appointed date and time. They finished the work the same day. I am very pleased that after three heavy rain days, there have been no leaks whatsoever. My only regret is that he typically only does roof repairs, not replacement,
- COBB ROOFING INCRoofing done in timely manner, but skylight still leaks. They have sent a repair crew twice to "fix" it by applying caulk. After 4 months, the main part of the roof where it joins the porch is leaking to the point that the ceiling is ruined in the living room. They will try to repair the leak in the roof. They are charging us $650 to remove the leaking skylight, put in decking and re-roof

"Blair Remodeling replaced 26 of my old wooden double hung windows with Wincore vinyl windows. I first met with Craig Blair on April. He gave me a quote that same day. He was very patient and was definitely not in a hurry to leave, even though it was late in the day. He answered all of my questions. After I thought about it for a while he came back another afternoon to answer more questions and show the demo window unit to my wife. Again, very patient and in no hurry to be anywhere. Made down payment in April. He said they would install in early June. That is exactly what happened. The install took only three days. They started on a Wednesday and finished on a Friday. The install crew consisted of three guys. They were extremely polite and cleaned up their mess each day. There was only one major issue. There were streaks and smudges on every window. It looked like some kind of sealant that was not cleaned off during the manufacturing process. I met with the lead installer on Friday morning and pointed this out to him and asked that he clean the windows. He was very condescending and obviously did not want to clean the windows. He said he would but I knew he would not. I went back to work (my wife was home but said she would not enforce the window cleaning) The project was finished when I got home Friday afternoon. The windows looked great but . . . You guessed it. There were still streaks and smudges on all the windows. Not wanting to be a pain, I tried cleaning the windows myself. The sealant was very difficult to remove. It would not come off with glass cleaner alone. I decided this should definitely be Blair’s responsibility. I asked for a meeting with Criag Blair. We met the following week. He was very polite and patient. He agreed to have the windows cleaned and address a few other minor issues. It took a while, and to be fair, I was out of town for a week but we finally coordinated on having the windows cleaned. The crew that did the installation came back out. They came while I was at work. My wife was home but declined to be the inspector. They finished cleaning about 3 PM. They waited for me to get home at 4:30. We walked around and inspected all 26 windows. There were a few touch ups but for the most part they did a good job. In summary, I was very pleased and satisfied with the entire process. I will definitely use Blair Remodeling in for any future projects. Craig Blair is the best. I totally trust him and I know that he will do whatever is necessary to make sure I am satisfied. Hopefully, Blair will add cleaning the windows to their standard installation procedure.

"We received a quote to upgrade the master bath. The cost was 2 times the price of 2 other quotes. When reviewing the initial quote we found they added items we did not want and would not give details of the quote. We asked for those items to be removed and issue a 2nd quote. We never received a 2nd quote.

"Chuck was very punctual and estimate included all costs. The section of roof that was worked on covered a sun room addition. The roof had a shallow slope and a couple of skylights. It had developed some leaks. Chuck recommended replacing the shingles with rolled roofing, replacing the skylights with curb mounted skylights and reflashing the chimney. After completion of the work, there were a couple of issues but Chuck was very prompt in responding and correcting the problems.
