"I am very particular and our home is unique. If you can please me, you will be able to make anyone happy. I can't say enough about Skylight Specialists. We had four skylights that were damaged by hail and were original to our home. All were replaced and look fantastic. We requested a custom trim on the interior that looks wonderful too. I would highly recommend Skylight Specialists. Quality, caring company."
"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."

"THIS IS THE BEST ROOFER I ever had work on my house. Albuquerque, this is the company you want to call! They responded to my request on Angie?s list, came by my house, called me with a solution, gave me a verbal estimate and then a good bid. They showed up ON TIME and they went the extra effort putting on silicon solution covering a larger area that ensures that I won?t have a leak in the future ( I battled a leak every time it rained heavy). This company follow?s up on every email, phone call and voice mail. The fixed worked and budget willing, I will have them back out in the spring to re-roof the entire house. Again, Albuquerque, this is the company you want to call! "
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.
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.
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.
Local window and door specialists, glaziers, and roofers should all install skylights. You can also do an internet search to find companies that specialize in skylight installation near you. Keep in mind that skylight installation is very complex and can be dangerous without the proper tools and safety precautions, so we don’t recommend this as a DIY project.
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.
