"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."
"After getting quotes from 6 large and small roofing companies, we decided to go with Total Home. Their price was in the middle but everything the salesperson explained to me made it easier to compare companies and possible outcomes. He made good suggestions for placement of additional air vents, replacement of skylights from plastic to glass, and other items which the other companies did not mention or charged much more for. This is a big company so I'll tell you I'm in the Orlando region. The job was started on time and completed within 5 days. It might have been done in 4 but it started raining one day and they covered everything well. Job manager came by a couple of times each day to check progress, including checking on the cleanup. He was very attentive to our satisfaction with everything. I liked that they had someone in the office assigned to follow up with me as needed. I could call her if I had a question or I couldn't reach the job manager and she would follow up with him for me. All this makes me give them an A for customer service. It's been several months and we are very happy with our new roof."
Most homeowners insurance policies cover skyight damage that is caused by hail. Hail damage is considered a covered peril under most standard insurance policies. However, this only applies if your skylights were properly installed. Also, insurance policies vary, so be sure to check your individual policy to see if skylight hail damage is covered.
Costs depend on skylight size, roof type, and additional features like blinds or tinting.
Whether you need a permit to install a skylight depends on the scope of the project and local regulations. Generally, permits are required if the installation involves altering the structural components of your home, such as moving roof rafters. In some municipalities, a permit might also be necessary if the skylight protrudes above the highest point of your existing roof. However, if no structural changes are made, a permit may not be needed. The cost for a skylight installation permit is typically under $100. A convenient time to add a skylight is during a roof replacement, as your contractor can incorporate the new opening into the design.
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.
An improperly installed skylight could potentially impact your roof's warranty. This happens because roofing penetration is necessary during skylight installation. Check your warranty information to verify. In most cases, having skylights professionally installed with proof that flashing is being done to specifications can be enough to preserve your roof's warranty.
