"The salesman was not pushy as previous reviews cited. I did have to initiate the calls to find out about my order status, on several occasions. He was quick on his response after my inquiries. On the day of installation, the crew was on time and vocal about their objectives. Overall they were quick and the quality of work was good. A friend of theirs came and hung out with them for the entire job until they moved into my backyard. This concerned me because this person was able to see inside my house, etc. When the job was done, they did not clean up some of their trash and they scratched up several of my window sills and walls inside the window cove. I had to putty and paint myself. They also cracked a tile in the bathroom and did not acknowledge this upon doing so. I caught it in the final inspection but they tried to act like it was just an accident so they should not have to fix it. I told them to make it right, it's what good companies do even when they make mistakes. They gave me 10 dollars from their pocket to buy tile epoxy for me to fix myself. The balance owed was 10 dollars more than what my contract said after I paid the deposit. The lead installer made it look like they were doing me a favor by not charging me the extra 10 dollars. I had to make it clear that no favors were done. Finally , the quality of the windows are less than their competitors. You get what you pay for. Their windows are only good for a reno and a quick sale or a rental property. If you plan on getting good noise reduction and living in your home, don't go with Allstate.

"Representative from Specs Roofing showed up the day after he was scheduled and failed to call me on the originally agreed upon day to let me know that he was coming the next day.  Having said this, he did show up following a bad weather day (original day) and performed the services we had agreed upon over the phone.  The rep. was cordial and got right to work on the agreed upon tasks.  It took him a little over two hours to complete the work and he disposed of all leaves and debris in the wetlands below my home as agreed upon.  I'd say, overall this was a very good experience; above "good," but not quite at Excellent because of the failure to call me to let me know he was going to be delayed.  I would not hesitate to recommend Specs Roofing for any gutter or roof cleaning.

Skylights questions, answered by experts

While it is possible to install a skylight as a DIY project, it is not recommended. Skylights are the most likely type of window to leak due to their position on the roof. Even minor mistakes during installation can lead to significant water damage and high repair costs. Additionally, working on a roof is dangerous, especially when maneuvering heavy, bulky windows. Due to the required roof modifications and the need for proper sealing and structural safety, hiring a professional skylight installer is strongly advised to avoid costly long-term issues.

When planning out skylights and deciding how big they should be, it's important to look at the dimensions of the interior space. In addition to changing a room aesthetically, skylights influence the illumination and temperature of the space below. The U.S. Department of Energy recommends that a skylight’s size should never be more than 5% of the floor area in rooms with many windows.

This is based on personal preference, budget, and the vibe you are going for with your holiday lighting. If you are looking for the cheapest option, incandescent lights are a budget-friendly choice. You can also opt for sheets of lights that cover areas such as trees and bushes for easier installation.

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.

In most cases, installing skylights will add value to your home, making them a worthwhile investment for many homeowners. Buyers are often attracted to the aesthetic appeal of skylights, as they make rooms feel brighter, airier, and more spacious by introducing natural light without compromising privacy. Beyond aesthetics, skylights can offer monetary benefits by potentially reducing energy bills. Additionally, models that can be opened provide extra ventilation, which is particularly useful in hotter climates for allowing accumulated hot air to escape from the ceiling. However, the return on investment depends on several factors. To maximize value, it's crucial that the skylights are installed by an experienced professional to avoid risks like water damage, which can deter savvy buyers. Regular maintenance and cleaning are also important. Furthermore, choosing the right frame and glazing materials for your specific climate will enhance their performance and appeal. While skylights are generally seen as an asset, homeowners should also consider the initial cost, which averages around $1,500 for installation.
