"Ron and Kevin did an excellent job of replacing our old skylights. Since the old, 30-year-old, skylights were no longer being produced, Ron custom designed skylights to fit in our space so they resembled our old skylights. They look fabulous. Ron and Kevin came when they said they would, worked diligently, and cleaned up after themselves. We were kept in the loop as to what was being done and what the cost would be. Ron is man of his word. Highly recommend."

"It went very well. The team at Trela is very professional and experienced! They were on time, cleaned up after themselves and went above and beyond to solve some frustrating roof problems we had in addition to the skylight replacement."

"Trav and his team were great to work with. They took the time to answer my questions and quoted me a price that I was very happy with. The team followed Covid protocol and wore masks the entire time. I had a skylight replaced, and the team was very efficient, with the whole job taking about 20 minutes. They cleaned up and took the old skylight with them. I was very happy with their installation and will be using them again to install a roof hatch. Thanks Trav and the NSS team!"

"The working team really does not seem to know what they are doing. They work fast but only do what they are told. They do not know about skylights."

"First of all I would like to say that this is a wonderful company that does great work and is honest! I have used them before and they were fantasticâ ¦the windows they fixed looked like new! I called them again to have them look at a couple windows and they told me they were fine by and what to do . Companies like this are hard to find in this day an age. They also recommended a company that might be able to help me. You can really trust a company that does that. If you ever have window issues do not hesitate to call them!!"

Skylights questions, answered by experts

There are four main types of lighting used in homes: ambient, task, accent, and decorative. Within these categories, there are a number of fixtures to choose from including ceiling-mounted lights, floor lamps, under-cabinet lights, track lighting, and more. 

Choosing the fixture that’s right for you depends on your home design and the area you’re looking to illuminate.

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.

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.

Local window and door specialists, glaziers, and roofers should all install skylights. You can also do an internet search to find companies that specialize in skylight installation near you. Keep in mind that skylight installation is very complex and can be dangerous without the proper tools and safety precautions, so we don’t recommend this as a DIY project.

Yes, you can install skylights on an existing roof, and it’s a common service that many homeowners opt for, especially on older homes built when skylights weren’t as prevalent. The installation process will be a bit more involved, and the design and planning process will take longer, meaning you’ll pay more to install a skylight on an existing roof than you would in new construction. The process involves cutting a hole in the roof, moving rafters, if necessary, and installing and sealing around the skylight.
