"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!"

"I am very pleased with John Keller Roofing. The hurricane of 2017 caused damage to many roofs so the wait time to get the crew on site was several months. During this time I would call and they always returned my call to give me an update of what I could expect. They ended up coming on a Saturday and got the job done in one day. I will call them first when I need another roof since we own several rental properties."
"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."
"Excellent! From the estimate process through the final walk around, ever person I was in contact with were professional, timely, and clearly knew what they were doing. Roof looks great, clean up was great and at completion, I pointed out a couple of minor items which they resolved on the spot. I even noticed a small tear in a window screen after they left, they had a screen repair guy at my house the same day. Not the cheapest out there (I got three quotes), but you get what you pay for (including a 15 year warranty which no one else came close to). Cost included replacement of 2 skylights, which we are thrilled with. Highly recommend them."
"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."
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.
Yes, if you have ventilated skylights, you can install insect screens on them. Insect screens for skylights cost $10 to $50 each, depending on their size and quality. Most pros highly recommend insect screens for ventilated skylights because they keep pests outside of your home while allowing fresh air inside.
The most popular treatment for a skylight is skylight shades. There are five primary types: manual, motorized, blackout, cellular//honeycomb, and Venetian. Motorized skylight shades are the most convenient, especially for skylights that are higher up, but manual shades are the most cost-effective treatments. Cellular/honeycomb shades are a perfect option for anyone who wants energy efficiency and an attractive look.
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.
Prevent future skylight issues by conducting regular inspections, ensuring gutters are clean to prevent water pooling, applying protective sealants periodically, and trimming overhanging branches that might cause physical damage to the skylight.
