"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."

"

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

"We are very satisfied with the replacement skylights (8 installed). Additionally, we are very impressed with how flawlessly NSS coordinated with our roofing company to efficiently install 8 skylights as an integral part of a much larger home improvement project. It was stress free for us. We would recommend this company without hesitation."

"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

Pros of installing a skylight include the fact that you will get much more natural light in your home, skylights can make your room look bigger than it actually is, and your home may increase in value. Cons include difficult upkeep (you may have to get on a ladder to clean and maintain them), higher installation costs, and, potentially, too much heat gain from all the extra sunlight.

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.

Ceiling costs depend on many factors, such as the material used and size, but coffered ceilings are considered one of the more expensive ceiling options. If you want to install a coffered ceiling but have a limited budget, consider using plywood instead of hardwood—it costs $2–$4.50 per square foot, while hardwood can be as much as $20 per square foot.

Repairing or replacing a skylight generally takes between a few hours to a full day. Simple repairs might take 2 to 4 hours, depending on the complexity of the problem. The total time can vary based on factors like weather conditions, the accessibility of the skylight, and the extent of the work required, such as replacing the entire unit versus performing minor repairs.
