What are the risks of installing a skylight on your own without professional help?

• <div><p>DIY is not recommended due to roof modifications required. Professional installation ensures proper sealing and structural safety.</p></div>

Do skylights impact a home’s energy efficiency rating?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

Is a skylight a good investment?

• <div><p>Do skylights add value to a home? In general, skylights are considered desirable because they make a room feel brighter and airier. By introducing natural light into a space, homeowners can also potentially reduce energy bills. However, homeowners should keep in mind that the averageskylight installation costs <b>$1,500</b>. </p></div>

Can skylights withstand hail?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

Do solar tube lights work in the winter?

• <div><p>Yes, solar tubes work during the winter as long as it’s light outside and they aren’t covered by snow. Sun tunnels are made to work year-round to bring in natural light, and some people find them even more beneficial during the winter. With less daylight outside, it can be even more important to bring brightness into homes to reduce electricity costs.</p></div>

"We purchased two new sliding glass doors at a home show. We wanted to replace ours because they were hard to slide open and closed. We have been VERY UNSATISFIED with Amazing Exteriors and REGRET ever buying them! They were a month late with the installation and never updated us to tell us when they would be coming. I had called Jim a few weeks after they were supposed to be here to try and get an update. He didn’t even tell me a date or even a week to expect them, he just said “soon”. The day of the installation he texted that morning and asked if Raul had called. I had no idea who Raul was and he never called to let me know, just pushed all the responsibility to Raul. I had only a few hours notice that they would be starting that same day. Jim didn’t communicate with Raul about the direction the doors were supposed to slide so they were installed opposite of what we had confirmed via email. Jim had the audacity to say that this was my fault because I was there, because I work from home, so I should have told him. Apparently I was supposed to take the day off and supervise his crew because he couldn’t be bothered to do his job. If that was what is expected of their customers, which is ridiculous, they should give them more than a few hours heads up. The doors do not shut all the way unless you lock them. They sort of bounce back about 1/8” because the weather stripping sits on top of the latch plate. You can see through from the outside to the inside trim on one of them unless it is locked. We were told that this was normal. Who wants a door that doesn’t shut all the way unless you lock it??! The handle is metal and gets too hot so you can’t even use it. I am very unsatisfied and wish I had never replaced the doors in the first place. In no world would I have thought that the 30-year-old vinyl doors would have been better than the 15,000 ones that I bought today. That is a lot to pay for something that makes you mad every time you use it. Raul the installer was good to work with but I can not say the same for Jim the engineer. He was rude, defensive, and didn’t really try to resolve the issue just said that it was supposed to be that way. He never even apologized for the mistake of installing them the opposite way, just blamed it on me. I spent hours of my workday worrying about the doors and trying to work with Raul to solve the issue. Now I’m stuck with doors that don’t shut. I should have taken a trip to Europe instead with all that extra money I had laying around."

"We were due for a full roof replacement, so I found 6 roofing companies that showed up strong on the Better Business Bureau, and Angie’s list websites. Nick from Caliber Roofing was my last appointment of the 6 to provide an estimate. Nick is amazingly knowledgeable and confirmed everything I had researched before setting up the 6 estimates. His knowledge, experience, and his detailed estimate is what sold me on selecting Caliber for our roofing job. His estimate came in lower than most of the others, and I felt confident that with the combined price + quality, we hit the re-roofing jackpot. He is on site for the install and supervises the entire job. He and his staff are very meticulous, and we have a complex roof that required their quality attention. Their work is flawless, and the high-quality product they put on, matches our home perfectly. In the end, they cleaned up my yard better than it was before they arrived. They even cleaned my gutters while they were up there and cleaned up that debris as well. The final bill came in exactly as he quoted, with no surprises. I HIGHLY recommend Caliber for your Roofing replacement/repair needs"
