"I had 2 skylights that had been leaking badly replaced on my insulated patio roof. Scotty with his 2 sons did a fantastic job. There was a thunderstorm afterwards & not a drop of water was noticed. I am very pleased with their job & the skylights look beautiful. Thank you Scotty & Central Florida Skylights!"
"When I called for an estimate on resealing my skylights, they said that they would not reseal, only replace. Since they were replaced after Irma, I did not need them replaced, just re-sealed."
"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."

"John Keller Roofing's estimator responded promptly to my call for a consultation. We have a low sloped roof on certain areas of our home that also have inadequate and poor ventilation. The Florida sun is tough on the shingles in this area and we have to replace this section of the roof more frequently that the rest of the house. We discussed several re-roof options and decided to use a peel and stick underlayment covered with with a standard shingle. We also replaced 3 custom sized skylights. A 4-5 man crew showed up on time and knocked the job out in less than 2 days. The work was done promptly and correctly. The crew did a great job picking up after themselves. Consider me a happy and satisfied client. "
"It went well. Workers showed up on time, stuck with the job until it was finished. Owner suggested we replace skylights with low-E argon-filled double glass product. We did so and very happy with results. Everything about the job seemed very professional in plan and execution of plan. Good roofing work is not cheap."
"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."

"Andy showed up on Labor day to look at my damaged skylight and scheduled the job for Thursday. Andy and his roofer showed up on time Thursday, replaced the skylight and repaired the roof around it. He gave us a very reasonable quote and cleaned the area after completing the repairs."
Common skylight issues include leaks, condensation between glass panes, damaged seals, and cracks in the glazing. Regular exposure to weather elements can lead to these problems, requiring timely attention to preserve the integrity of the skylight and the surrounding roof structure.
Yes, solar tubes are easier to install than skylights because they’re lighter, smaller, and easier to handle. They also require less roof cutting and have a faster, simpler installation process. This means they’re a more DIY-friendly option for homeowners who want to add more natural light to their homes.
Local window and door specialists, glaziers, and roofers should all install skylights. You can also do an internet search to find companies that specialize in skylight installation near you. Keep in mind that skylight installation is very complex and can be dangerous without the proper tools and safety precautions, so we don’t recommend this as a DIY project.
Ceiling costs depend on many factors, such as the material used and size, but coffered ceilings are considered one of the more expensive ceiling options. If you want to install a coffered ceiling but have a limited budget, consider using plywood instead of hardwood—it costs $2–$4.50 per square foot, while hardwood can be as much as $20 per square foot.
Pros of installing a skylight include the fact that you will get much more natural light in your home, skylights can make your room look bigger than it actually is, and your home may increase in value. Cons include difficult upkeep (you may have to get on a ladder to clean and maintain them), higher installation costs, and, potentially, too much heat gain from all the extra sunlight.
