"Worked directly with Louis and Lisa. Had an emergency roof installed that included fascia repair, gutter replacement and skylight removal. Project was completed in less than four days from receiving quote to finish, despite current weather conditions. Victors Roofing was the only company to come out right away offering affordable services."
"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."
"The crew showed up bright and early at 8:00 am. The weather the day before was cool and rainy, so we thought they wouldnâ t be out for a few days until it cleared up. The crew leader reassured us the weather would be fine and the job would be done by the end of the day. He was right! The sun came out and they finished up by 7:00 pm. Kyle and Josh came by to check the progress and ask if we had any questions or concerns. We were amazed and very pleased with the work and thorough clean-up. Our roof looks great!! Thanks Victors!!ð"
"Dakota Solomon was polite and helpful. The project was slowed due to the hard and late winter. One skylight was leaking so they replaced it in too cold weathering order to accommodate me since I was throwing a party. They had to return later in warmer weather to install a second skylight. They worked on Sunday to get the job done. They gave me excellent service. Richard Gull"

"They were on time and did the job efficiently. I thought the price was a little high but it has been a long time since I have had to replace window glass. I gave them only a 4.5 on quality because there was a small amount of clean up that was missed."
"They came and visited, took measurements and provided examples of previous work. Gave a fair estimate of cost that met our needs. The installation was quickly and professionally done and we are satisfied with the results."
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.
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.
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.
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.
