"He gave us a quote for this renovation. He was very thorough and discussed everything that would go into the renovation. We ended up not buying the house, but would recommend for future work. He was very honest and professional."

"The first time the install crew arrived they brought an entirely different skylight than I ordered. The one they had wasnâ t even the correct dimensions. After some discussion as to how this mistake happened I decided to order a skylight of a different design than originally ordered which in the end was a better product. The second time the crew arrived with the new skylight with the proper dimensions and proceeded to make a proper installation. This entire episode took longer than anticipated however the company was very responsive to the situation. We are pleased with our new skylight and would use this company again if ever needed."

"My wife rearranged her Saturday plans to be home during the Saturday repair.  Elder 1 was supposed to arrive in the afternoon but by late afternoon nobody had arrived or called.  I called the office but it was closed, and I also emailed the Elder 1 representative who had inspected the roof.  I was stressing because we had a pretty good rain Sunday night but apparently the attic insulation held the water since I did not see any leakage on the bedroom ceilings underneath the open shingles.  Elder 1 called Monday, apologizing for the repair personnel not calling on Saturday when their early repair work overran their schedule.  They called Tuesday afternoon to complete the repairs Wednesday, which they did complete.  Elder 1 called me when the work was completed.  When I arrived home I was pleased to see the new shingle colors matched the remainder of the roof pretty well.

"Good, honest people, but when coming to the job site with broken or missing tools that is unacceptable. I don't take issue with the workmanship, but when the bossman said that it would be paint ready the project should be paint ready, the reality is that it was nowhere near paint ready. The bottom line is it was not done right."

Skylights questions, answered by experts

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

Roof windows and skylights can be installed on various roof materials, but skylights are usually the only option that you have if you have a flat roof or a roof with a slope under 15 degrees. In these cases, roof windows have too high of a risk of leaking to be suitable options. The specific installation requirements may vary, so it's important to hire a window replacement contractor. Certain types of roofs may not be ideal if they limit the size of the window or if they pose an issue with rainwater collecting around the area.

Whether you need a permit to install a skylight depends on the scope of the project and local regulations. Generally, permits are required if the installation involves altering the structural components of your home, such as moving roof rafters. In some municipalities, a permit might also be necessary if the skylight protrudes above the highest point of your existing roof. However, if no structural changes are made, a permit may not be needed. The cost for a skylight installation permit is typically under $100. A convenient time to add a skylight is during a roof replacement, as your contractor can incorporate the new opening into the design.

Yes, if you have ventilated skylights, you can install insect screens on them. Insect screens for skylights cost $10 to $50 each, depending on their size and quality. Most pros highly recommend insect screens for ventilated skylights because they keep pests outside of your home while allowing fresh air inside.

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.
