"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."
"I contacted Shane Hewatt and he came out and quoted me on a roof replacement. I opted to have my tin roof over the back porch replaced with a waterproof barrier. The team arrived early in the morning and completed the task by mid afternoon. They removed all the unsitely vent caps and gave the entire roof a clean look. They also installed a roof cap to cool things down. We are very pleased with the entire experience with Hewatt Roofing. Ooga booga 😎"
"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!"

"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."
"Gary did a great job installing our two skylights. He included a complete roof inspection and point out some areas to be of concern. Upon completing the installation, they cleaned up every where on the ground as well as the gutters. For once a real professional."
"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. "
"Very happy with Generation Roofing. I spoke with a few roofing companies and mulled over getting started for a while before finally pulling the trigger. Once I finally signed on with Generation, they made the process very painless. They started right away, finished within a few days and my house was livable the entire time. Still happy that I chose them."
Skylights increase natural light, improve ventilation, and enhance aesthetic appeal in rooms.
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.
Yes, skylights can affect a home’s energy efficiency, either positively or negatively. Properly installed, energy-efficient skylights with Low-E coatings, double glazing, and UV-blocking glass can help regulate indoor temperatures and reduce heating and cooling costs. However, poorly insulated or older skylights can contribute to heat loss in winter and excess heat gain in summer, lowering overall energy efficiency.
When planning out skylights and deciding how big they should be, it's important to look at the dimensions of the interior space. In addition to changing a room aesthetically, skylights influence the illumination and temperature of the space below. The U.S. Department of Energy recommends that a skylight’s size should never be more than 5% of the floor area in rooms with many windows.
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.
