"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!!"
"I have used Dr. Windows in the past and they always have done a first class job. I wish I could have them back every month to keep my windows sparkling. I recommend them and will continue to use them for window cleaning. "
"Very well. Al was detail oriented and good with creative work arounds. Very conscientious. He had done some smaller repairs for me last year, too. Got along with the dogs and cats, also. Cleaned up every day. Polite and professional."
"they did a great job. happy with the 6 widow they installed. only complaint was that it took a long time to get the windows in but this was during covid so it was more to do with that. but the work was very good and they cleaned up after them selves. can't tell they were even there"
Whether you need a permit to install a skylight depends on the scope of the project and local regulations. Generally, permits are required if the installation involves altering the structural components of your home, such as moving roof rafters. In some municipalities, a permit might also be necessary if the skylight protrudes above the highest point of your existing roof. However, if no structural changes are made, a permit may not be needed. The cost for a skylight installation permit is typically under $100. A convenient time to add a skylight is during a roof replacement, as your contractor can incorporate the new opening into the design.
Pros of installing a skylight include the fact that you will get much more natural light in your home, skylights can make your room look bigger than it actually is, and your home may increase in value. Cons include difficult upkeep (you may have to get on a ladder to clean and maintain them), higher installation costs, and, potentially, too much heat gain from all the extra sunlight.
Yes, reputable manufacturers typically provide warranties for their roof windows and skylights, and many installers also offer a labor warranty, although labor warranties often don’t last as long as the manufacturer’s warranty. A warranty from a skylight manufacturer is helpful in the event of leaks or other damage down the road on this type of home feature. The length of time and the terms of the warranty may vary, so it's important to review the details before making a purchase.
Water will leak through a skylight if there are issues in the sealing of the skylight. Find and fix those issues yourself if possible, but it’s a good idea to contact a professional, as there could be much more water damage than you initially saw. Plus, it’s dangerous to work on a roof without the proper safety equipment and know-how.
Costs depend on skylight size, roof type, and additional features like blinds or tinting.
