"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."

"Rob was very professional, knowledgeable and pleasant.. He was not pushy at all with trying to sell us new skylights when we initially were inquiring about repairs.. His price was very reasonable so we decided to replace them all.. The finish work was meticulous and looks beautiful! We highly recommend the Discount Skylight team!!"
"Debbie from All Seasons Roofs was very personable and professional in her communication. Despite the overall price being higher than other quotes, I decided to support this local company. There was a mistake during the job in that the wrong skylight was shipped from the supplier and the old skylight was removed before the error was discovered. This necessitated having the old skylight re-installed while the correct one was ordered. I was concerned about damage to the underlying support structure with multiple skylight removals, but it appears that the installation of the correct skylight went without a hitch. It rained quite hard the morning after installation of the new skylight and there were no leaks. Overall, I am pleased with the job done by All Seasons Roofs and would recommend their services."
"They scheduled for the date I requested. The estimate came back quickly and was $100 less than other estimates I received. They arrived actually a couple of minutes before the time they had said and completed the work in 1 hour and 15 minutes (about 21 windows all on one floor). The windows look beautiful!! The only issue is that my two storm/screen doors didn't get their screens installed, perhaps I had to specify that, but those are easy to do for me, so not a problem. I will absolutely use them again, probably a couple of times a year. Highly recommended. "
"Services and work were delivered timely and were well done. Al made sure to ask about anything he was unsure of (where we wanted lights exactly, etc.). Al was extremely professional and great to work with, would highly recommend to anyone."
"My garage door wouldn’t close so I called Tucker Door and window. They were so professional and helpful. My door got fixed right away without costing me a arm and a leg. I would recommend them to anyone who needs fast and professional service."
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.
Yes, skylights can affect a home’s energy efficiency, either positively or negatively. Properly installed, energy-efficient skylights with Low-E coatings, double glazing, and UV-blocking glass can help regulate indoor temperatures and reduce heating and cooling costs. However, poorly insulated or older skylights can contribute to heat loss in winter and excess heat gain in summer, lowering overall energy efficiency.
Yes, solar tubes are easier to install than skylights because they’re lighter, smaller, and easier to handle. They also require less roof cutting and have a faster, simpler installation process. This means they’re a more DIY-friendly option for homeowners who want to add more natural light to their homes.
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.
Installation typically takes 1-2 days, depending on the required roof type and structural modifications.
