"Like a lot of people with homes in Dunwoody, we had 30+ year old skylights were in need of replacement. Abbott Brothers responded promptly to our inquiry, gave us a competitive quote quickly and got the the job done in a first rate manner. All in the span of a few weeks. They did a great job!!"
"They were able to replace the skylight in less than 2 weeks after the quote. They did a good job and make the finish on the inside look good. A few weeks later, there was a heavy rain and my new skylight is no longer leaking like my old one that was replaced."
"Great job, reasonable price, easy to work with. Will definitely use again. Glad to have met alpha home improvements and will be using them to complete numerous projects around the house. Roof repair, attic fan installation, gutter guards and window brick molding just to name a few."
"Eddie was very informative, knowledgeable, and honest. Another company I got a quote from for my skylights was over twice as much and told me things that I didnâ t actually need done I would highly recommend Atlanta Pressure and Steam Repairs!"

"Did a great job - had to use some armstrong power to get one window opened...but did with a smile! I did not have my porch skylights included in my quote but had them do for a nominal fee. Was very happy with their work and professionalism"
"Recently moved to the Atlanta, GA area and bought a house that needed some work. First order of business was to install some skylights because the house looked so dark! I found Sunshine Boys by doing a NextDoor search. When I left a message inquiring about an install job, I was contacted by the sales agent, Darryl White, and set up an appointment to get an estimate. Darryl was on time, very cordial, and professional. We talked about what I wanted and needed. He inspected the home, went up into the attic, took some measurements and made recommendations. I got a genuine feel he did not try and up-sell with un-necessary add ons. We talked through the options and I received a quote a few days later. To be a prudent purchaser of goods and services, especially with a project, I feel you need to get at least 3 quotes. I received quotes from other competitors and they all were reasonably the same in price. I decided to go with Sunshine Boys because I got a genuine feeling they stand behind their work and the honest approach Darryl used. With any project, you are likely to run into "issues" and this project definitely ran into one. We decided to go with an install of two large skylights and one skylight in the hall way. The install was scheduled, and during the install, it started to rain. Thank you Georgia for your summer thunderstorms. Long story short, some water got in, and to be honest, it could have been many factors. Water coming in while they were installing, I mean, you do have an open hole in the roof, or it could have been excess water collected on the ladder. In any case, I contacted Darryl and the owner ready with well armed information to make a claim against them. I dread having to argue a case, no matter how small the damage may be. When speaking with them, rather than making excuses, I was taken back by them both saying, "we will make it right." No fuss, no questions, or excuses. They did make things right. The owner and Darryl came by during the install of the remaining skylights to check in and personally express their apologies and again thanking me for the business. Because they stand by their work, and the integrity shown, I decided to post a positive review on all of the review sites because I think they deserve more business. If you are in need of skylights, your first choice should be Sunshine Boys and be sure to ask Darryl White; he a fantastic individual and he definitely has your back."
"Excellent work and customer service. He went above and beyond to get the project completed during an ice storm. I would highly recommend Gary and am very pleased with my new skylight."
"Atlanta Window Pro is amazing! If you are looking to windows, doors or skylights then Atlanta Window Pro is your place. We need 2 skylights and AWP walked us through the history of skylights and educated us. Not only that he came to drop them off and made sure the skylight opening was fled to make sure we get as much as natural lighting in the house. Their price was also very competitive. Highly recommended for skylight replacement."
"Marcus beat two other contractors in the area. He had the highest quality product and best price. The installation was conducted safely and the cleanup was thorough. He replaced damaged sections of decking and installed a "cricket" to improve drainage where the damage to the old roof had occurred. He also installed a Solatube skylight. It has been over a year since the installation, it has been one of the rainiest on record, and there have been no issues whatsoever. I would use M&C Roofing again, but not for this house because I'm pretty sure this roof will outlive me. "
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.
Yes, you can add blinds or shades to both roof windows and skylights, but roof windows tend to have more options available. Retractable skylight shades are popular on both options for added privacy, light control, and heat reduction, although they’re more expensive than manually-operated blinds or shades. If you have a roof window or skylight set in a high ceiling, a motorized or solar-powered skylight window covering is probably your best bet.
Leaks are the top concern for skylights, often due to improper installation or worn-out seals. Over time, water can seep in and cause major damage to your home’s ceilings and walls. Other common issues include condensation, which leads to mold, as well as physical damage from weather or debris. If they’re not sealed properly, skylights can also bring unwanted heat in the summer or cold in the winter, affecting your home’s energy efficiency and tacking on extra dollars to your bills.
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.
A skylight's ability to withstand hail depends on factors like material quality and thickness. Impact-resistant options, such as tempered or laminated glass, fare better against hail compared to standard glass. Proper installation and regular maintenance also contribute to their resilience. While smaller hailstones may not pose a significant threat, larger ones can cause damage. Consider skylight protection methods like covers or screens in hail-prone areas to enhance durability and minimize potential harm.
