Q: Should I remove my skylight?

• <div><p>The decision to remove a skylight depends on your specific circumstances and preferences. There are several reasons why you might consider removing a skylight, such as extensive damage, a desire for better insulation, or the need to change the room's layout. Additionally, if the skylight is causing leaks or other issues, it may be necessary to remove and replace it (which can incur additional <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-skylight-installation-cost.htm">skylight installation costs</a>). It's important to assess your specific situation and consult with professionals if needed to make an informed decision.</p></div>

Q: What are common issues requiring skylight repair or replacement?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

Q: What is the most common problem with skylights?

• <div><p>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&rsquo;s ceilings and walls. Other common issues include condensation, which leads to mold, as well as physical damage from weather or debris. If they&rsquo;re not sealed properly, skylights can also bring unwanted heat in the summer or cold in the winter, affecting your home&rsquo;s energy efficiency and tacking on extra dollars to your bills. </p></div>

Q: What types of treatments can I put on skylights?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

Q: What are the most popular types of skylights?

• <div><p>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&rsquo;t have to constantly worry if you shut your skylight fully the last time you opened it or if you&rsquo;re going to find a leak later on during a rainy day.</p></div>

"We had Midwest put metal roofing on our house a couple years ago. They did an excellent job, so we hired them to reside the house too. There were problems from day one, when they left debris to blow all over. On day 2 they started to put house wrap over rotten sheathing, and after that we were uneasy about the job and felt we had to keep a vigilant eye on the work. We caught several problems and oversights. Jeff did not respond well. Instead of respect and professional reassurance to allay various levels of unease, alarm and frustration, he got more abrupt. By the time they came out to finish final details, he was in a huge sulk and ignored me as much as possible, including when answering a direct question, which is quite a trick. I am still finding damage left by the siding crew. I don't trust the work. Time will tell."

"Like some of the other people have stated.. they are pricey and they are also extremely busy. We worked with Andy as the sales rep and he was a great guy. We told him what we were willing to spend at most and he made sure we got everything we wanted for that price. I think people who are new to construction work might see these guys as a hassle but in all honesty.. the men they had working for us were some of the hardest working and fastest working men I’ve ever met. Everything was done in a week and a half.. and it is STUNNING! My only complaint is that we were supposed to get it started 8 weeks after signing and it didn’t start til about 12 weeks.. like I said though.. it’s a very busy time of the year. COVID-19 has everyone at home with their honey-do list and EVERYWHERE is booked. I would absolutely recommend Cronkhite.. always negotiate on price.. and make sure to check the work being done. Don’t watch them do something wrong and complain about it after.. If you have questions then ask them!"

"Our Larson storm door closer was caught by the wind and ripped the bracket away from the exterior door frame. Chris Engle promptly arrived when he said he would. Polite and professional, he accessed the damage and told me what he could do on the spot for the least amount of money. Not a pretty job for what he had to work with unless we wanted to replace the whole door and frame, but he made our exterior door and storm door useable. He also installed a wind chain on the storm door for added protection."
