"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!"
"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"
"The Sunshine Boys replaced an old damaged skylight with a new one. They did an excellent job, we've had a lot of rain this year and there's no leaks whatsoever. They were quick efficient and reasonably priced. I would highly recommend them."
"They were supposed to come on Thursday, but then they called me and told me that they were going to have to reschedule for Friday. on Friday one person showed up, looked at the roof, and said that it was a 2 man job, and they would have to reschedule again for Saturday or Monday. I waited through the weekend to hear from them, but no one has been in touch with me."
"Generation Roofing took their time, were extremely professional and did an excellent job. The team was great to work with. I am thrilled with the quality of the work!"
"The Team from Peachtree Restorations were very professional. From the outset to the completion of the repairs, they kept me informed of the progress of the repairs. They delivered on all of their promises and I would absolutely recommend Peachtree Restorations if anyone is considering their Roof replaced or repaired. Great job Peachtree Restorations."
While it is possible to install a skylight as a DIY project, it is not recommended. Skylights are the most likely type of window to leak due to their position on the roof. Even minor mistakes during installation can lead to significant water damage and high repair costs. Additionally, working on a roof is dangerous, especially when maneuvering heavy, bulky windows. Due to the required roof modifications and the need for proper sealing and structural safety, hiring a professional skylight installer is strongly advised to avoid costly long-term issues.
Skylights are the most likely windows to leak if installed improperly, so there are a few questions you should ask any skylight installer before you hire them:
Do you specialize in skylight installation or only windows in general?
Do you offer any kind of warranty for the installation?
What recourse do I have if the skylight leaks shortly after installation?
Do you have references I can speak with?
How long have you been in business?
Are you licensed and insured?
Fixed skylights are by far the most popular type. Because skylights can be pretty high up on your ceiling, fixed (rather than operable) skylights remove some maintenance from the equation. Plus, you don’t have to constantly worry if you shut your skylight fully the last time you opened it or if you’re going to find a leak later on during a rainy day.
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.
Skylights increase natural light, improve ventilation, and enhance aesthetic appeal in rooms.
