"Laureyn came out initially to view the Skylight we wanted to replace and she went through all the options as well as answered my numerous follow up questions over email. The day of the install Laureyn and Nick arrived on time and installed the new skylight and walked through the setup. They cleaned up inside and the whole process was very easy & quick."
"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."
"We had unexpected damage to our roof and due to this damage, we had water damage to the inside of our home. The skylight needed to be replaced along with a new roof. I was just overwhelmed and didn't know what to do or who to call. My Stepson had recently used Matt to have his roof repaired and they did such a nice job. I gave Matt a call and he was at my house within a day and assured me that he could help and gave me a very reasonable quote and timeframe to get the job done. Matt explained all my options and worked with what fit my budget. Matt and his crew arrived on schedule as promised and his crew worked diligently throughout the day cleaning as they worked to make sure my yard was just as it was when they arrived. when they completed the job they combed the whole yard and driveway to make sure there were no stray scraps or nails or debris. the workers were so respectful and boy did they bust theirs butts to get the job done. Thank you Matt & Crew for a job well done.."

I would definitely recommend them to anyone needing a roof replacement."
He came in a lot less in price than other companies and he was able to come within my budget. There were 7 crew members and they were able to get the job done in one day and they cleaned up well after themselves. He showed up with all the appropriate equipment. The work was done to my satisfaction and they were very professional during the appointment. This was is only roofer I will use.
"Feb. snow and rainstorms caused a large ice dam to form on our North side roof, and we had water damage in both the master bathroom and the family room. Both ceilings had water stains--and both were cathedral ceilngs--high and difficult to reach. We also had some cracked plaster in the corner of the family room from settling, as well as one corner in the kitchen. The very top of the ceiling in the master bath had some loosening of the drywall tape and "mud", and since we were at it, I asked them to include this, as well as a cleaning and replacement of light bulbs in the kitchen fan--again, too high for us to get to. Inspection of the bathroom water stain proved to be not from the ice dam, but a problem with the installation of the bathroom fan and light by the original owners--use of too small a unit and no insulation, causing lots of condensation which leaked down and stained the ceiling. Both rooms would need repainting of the ceilings and the family room needed a total repaint. Touch-up of the bathroom wall where some nails had popped and needed recovering would be enough. They matched our 9 year old paint perfectly. The men arrived punctually each of the three days it required. They moved and/or covered furnishings and carpeting both in the rooms and in the hallways to protect them and were very careful to keep dust and dirt to a minimum, and cleaned everything up each night so we could resume normal living. They did a great job with everything, and installed a new fan unit of the correct size in the bathroom--cleaned up my kitchen ceiling, and made the fan/light unit look like new. The men were courteous and good at their jobs and did everything we had asked. Our house looks great again, and we are very satisfied with the company, their estimator Phil; Joe, their supervisor, and his crew. We'd hire them again in a heartbeat! "
"Great experience overall. Jay and his team were very knowledgeable and determined. They replaced my entire kitchen with nee cabinets and countertops. Along with laminate floor & backsplash. Highly recommend."
Professionals repair or seal a skylight by inspecting for damages, resealing any gaps with appropriate weatherproofing materials, replacing cracked glass or seals, and ensuring the frame is tightly fitted to prevent future leaks and ensure proper drainage.
Skylights might sometimes increase your homeowners insurance premium, but the increase is usually minimal. Some home insurance companies won’t adjust your premium with the addition of a skylight, so you can contact your insurer or your professional skylight installer to ask about any expected changes. It’s crucial to have an expert install the skylight, as insurance companies may not insure your roof or cover water damage that results from a non-professional skylight installation.
Common skylight issues include leaks, condensation between glass panes, damaged seals, and cracks in the glazing. Regular exposure to weather elements can lead to these problems, requiring timely attention to preserve the integrity of the skylight and the surrounding roof structure.
Yes, you can add blinds or shades to both roof windows and skylights, but roof windows tend to have more options available. Retractable skylight shades are popular on both options for added privacy, light control, and heat reduction, although they’re more expensive than manually-operated blinds or shades. If you have a roof window or skylight set in a high ceiling, a motorized or solar-powered skylight window covering is probably your best bet.
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.
