"I had a skylight replaced Scotty came out looked over the job gave me a very fair price he was very friendly and professional came back and install the New skylight had everything he needed to complete the job in one day.I would highly recommend This company to anybody considering installing a skylight or having one replaced"
"We were unable to install the skylight due to unexpected ducts in the attic that prevented the solar tube from going in but the crew tried to overcome the limited access on 2 separate occasions. They did so without tearing up the ceiling as they planned and inspected before any cutting. I ended up hiring them for a smaller project which turned out great."

"Prompt quote. Very knowledgeable and professional. We would,have used they but our original roofer came in with a lower bid. We decided to use someone who was familiar with the original roof install."
"David Keefe and his work crew did an excellent job on our new roof. It looks wonderful and they were done in only 2 days! They put down tarps to keep the mess from the old roof to a minimum and used a metal detector to sweep for stray nails. Our roof sits directly on top of our raised ceiling made of tongue-in-groove pine, and they took special care to make sure the nails were not protruding through to our ceiling. The permitting and insurance report for wind mitigation credit were automatically done as part of the process. Mr. Keefe spent time with us going over the benefits and considerations for the different types of roofs beforehand, and was very knowledgeable about codes and local considerations, as well as considerations related to our specific roof (pitch and drainage). Very professional from start to finish. "
"I contacted Sunrise Roofing Services for a roof replacement. Karel gave me an estimate was thorough, timely, and to the penny accurate. He explained the entire process including providing insurance and license information. He installed a tarp to prevent any further leaks into my house (no additional cost). The project was delayed because I was out of town so we agreed to a no earlier than start date. When I returned they started the project within one day of that date. They showed up on time (exactly) and I ask to see the permit. They pointed to my front door where they had posted it prior to ringing the bell. I was impressed. The old roof was removed and Florida required nailing patterns completed (including the nailing affidavit). The decking was repaired. A new underlayment, roof, vents, skylights, and flashings were installed. Cleanup was thorough. All of this was completed in one day including local building permit inspections. The following day the owner, Maria Flores, came by for payment. She came prepared with Lien release forms, warranty information, affidavit of contractors final payment as well as an invoice. We settled up while discussing her business. I relayed to her the things that impressed me most. 1. She has an actual place of business (not working out of her house like too many contractors) 2. No down payment required. 3. All of the roof installers are employees (not day workers). 4. All the paperwork was completed and presented in a timely manner. 5. Her employees are top notch. Installing a roof in the summertime in Florida is brutal. They probably deserve a raise. 6. Her company is a certified installer of the CertainTeed roofing line of products. I verified this with CertainTeed prior to contracting her. Maria was cordial, well prepared, and thorough. I found that she runs a professional business with good people and would have no problem recommending her to everyone."
"We had 5 different roofing companies that gave us estimates. Out the 5 we had only 1 that took the time to explain with details on what needed to be done and answered all our questions with out hesitation. Our service representative was JORDAN CRONLUND. Jordan Cronlund showed us all our options type of shingles and the difference in prices and quality. He took the time to answer all of our questions with details. We felt very comfortable talking to him because he wasn’t trying to leave for another appointment like the other representative did. He worked in different parts of the roofing business so he is full of knowledge. Comparing prices they were the best price with the type of shingle we wanted. We had 1 roofing company Collis that took them 5 days for me to get an estimate and I had to keep calling the guy. With Total Home Roofing we got the estimate instantly. Collis was charging about the same Price but there were a lot of things they didn’t include. We got the top notch shingles, with a new skylight for less than Collis was charging. And Collis wasn’t giving me the top notch shingles. If you live in a raining area like I do (Florida) you have to be aware of the rain delays, if you are scheduled for Monday and it rains all day on Thursday and Friday you will probably be rescheduled for Tuesday instead of Monday. That’s what happened to us but once again Jordan was on top of it by calling us and letting us know In advance. It’s hard to get a good contractor with knowledge, experience, friendly, and great customer service and I’m glad I call Total Home Roofing. Specially I’m glad Jordan Cronlund was my representative. Don’t hesitate call them and ask for Jordan. I already referred 2 of my friends to them and they are under contract. I hope this helps you make the right call. Thank you Roland"
"David Rios and crew replaced our roof. They were a hard-working and fast crew who got the job done in just one day. Our house had some older, broken solar panels on the roof from the early 70's, and they were able to remove them and repair the damage they had caused from the way they were set up. The roof had bad wind damage from storms and had to be replaced. Our roof vents were outdated, and they replaced them with a much better looking ridge vent. We have a fairly expensive skylight, and they were able to work with it with no problem. Other companies all said we would have to replace it with one they sold us. Roofing is dirty, hard work that creates a lot of trash, but when they left there wasn't a single piece of trash on the yard. They even swept it with a magnetic roller to pick up any nails or other metal bits they may have missed. David was on site all day with his crew, checking in and explaining things as they worked. I'd recommend them to anyone who needs a roof."
The decision to remove a skylight depends on your specific circumstances and preferences. There are several reasons why you might consider removing a skylight, such as extensive damage, a desire for better insulation, or the need to change the room's layout. Additionally, if the skylight is causing leaks or other issues, it may be necessary to remove and replace it (which can incur additional skylight installation costs). It's important to assess your specific situation and consult with professionals if needed to make an informed decision.
Roof windows and skylights can be installed on various roof materials, but skylights are usually the only option that you have if you have a flat roof or a roof with a slope under 15 degrees. In these cases, roof windows have too high of a risk of leaking to be suitable options. The specific installation requirements may vary, so it's important to hire a window replacement contractor. Certain types of roofs may not be ideal if they limit the size of the window or if they pose an issue with rainwater collecting around the area.
Yes, reputable manufacturers typically provide warranties for their roof windows and skylights, and many installers also offer a labor warranty, although labor warranties often don’t last as long as the manufacturer’s warranty. A warranty from a skylight manufacturer is helpful in the event of leaks or other damage down the road on this type of home feature. The length of time and the terms of the warranty may vary, so it's important to review the details before making a purchase.
Costs depend on skylight size, roof type, and additional features like blinds or tinting.
Water will leak through a skylight if there are issues in the sealing of the skylight. Find and fix those issues yourself if possible, but it’s a good idea to contact a professional, as there could be much more water damage than you initially saw. Plus, it’s dangerous to work on a roof without the proper safety equipment and know-how.
