"True north has done many projects for us and recently did our back deck which ended up changing into a screened in porch. They are always on time, professional, friendly and have worked with us making adjustments and changes. The workmanship is very good! I d hire them back for any future projects."

"I called Paul Modzeleski on a Friday. He came by Monday and gave me an estimate after about 30 minutes of measuring, discussing and calculating. I gave him the go-ahead that night, knowing that he had an opening two days later. (I did not seek estimates elsewhere as a lower estimate would not have particularly interested me; they are not primarily marketing on price.) The shingles and other GAF products were delivered to my driveway by the wholesaler (Heritage Wholesale) on Tuesday, the day before the job. Without my asking, the wholesale delivery man / forklift operator volunteered that Sentry was a great crew.
They got to my house at 8AM Wednesday with a crew of 6, soon augmented to 8. This manpower and their equipment (including a gas-powered hoist) proved enough to do the job the same day, which is a plus when rain threatens later, as it did. They put down tarps, stripped everything off, and put up a new roof with ridge vents and working around skylights. Squashing of foundation plants was minimal and I don't think could have been less (only dying bulb foliage, and a bush that was already brittle and half-dead and slated for replacement, were damaged).
Their crew leader/foreman was knowledgeable and friendly. I was using a pair of binoculars to scan the roof; I pointed out to the foreman a small crease in one of the shingles, which he had a man replace quickly, and without any disagreeableness. They did a very thorough job cleaning up as the job progressed, and at the end of the job, including wheeling around a magnet to pick up nails. 
I am very satisfied and have already recommended them to 2 other couples who, prompted by my news, said they were looking into a roof.

"The workers were great and worked in some rough weather. The roof looked great when finished. There is a small customer satisfaction issue that keeps me from giving them an A across the board. I had a major leak around my skylight during the very next heavy rain. The roofer came out the following day without a ladder so he could not get a good look at the skylight but did point out a problem with my gutters which I fixed the following day. I took a good look at my skylight while I was up there and found the flashing in the back had popped off at some point and fixed it. So most of my leak is fixed. The end caps/flashing on my skylight however went missing. That is my issue. They said they would be back but have not showed up. If you get a new roof I suggest new flashing on everything. Insist on it."

"They were the only roofing Co willing to do a small sunroom roof replacement that had a skylight that was 20 yrs old and started leaking, so I could not wait to have the work done. I had a high-quality set of gutters and leaf/rain guard installed which they took no care of when carelessly removing old shingles. And the price to replace the skylight was higher than it should have been. But the work needed to be done. And all the recommended roofers were too busy with full roofing work at the time."

Skylights questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

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.

A skylight's ability to withstand hail depends on factors like material quality and thickness. Impact-resistant options, such as tempered or laminated glass, fare better against hail compared to standard glass. Proper installation and regular maintenance also contribute to their resilience. While smaller hailstones may not pose a significant threat, larger ones can cause damage. Consider skylight protection methods like covers or screens in hail-prone areas to enhance durability and minimize potential harm.

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.
