"Outstanding work! Excellent service. I highly recommend Solar Brite. I received an immediate response to my quote request. Work was completed quickly and the price was fair and reasonable. It’s refreshing to work with a professional team! I had 2 skylights replaced and the interior boxes painted. Great job and wonderful to work with the team."

"I needed three 30 year old skylights replaced, in late December. Ron's knowledge was very apparent. I found his straightforward explanation of what he recommended and how the entire project would be done refreshing. He also explained that getting all the skylights replaced at the same time would afford me a discounted price. The entire cost came is much lower than I was expecting. My new skylights were installed just before the weather turned and I couldn't be happier."

"

My skylights are still leaking. They have came out initially.  They leaked after the initial visit and they came out a second time.  It is now leaking again.


Trela came out for a third time on August 20th to try to find and fix the leaks.  They came out 2 days after I called Angie.  They were responsive to the call. 


  I will wait until it rains to see if the skylights leak.   I understand it is difficult to find Skylight leaks but I am hoping three times out to the house will do it.


I Will write a final review.


THANK YOU

"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."

Skylights questions, answered by experts

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.

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?

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.

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.

Costs depend on skylight size, roof type, and additional features like blinds or tinting.
