"I highly recommend Nice and Fast construction. In addition to impecable work, the professionalism is to be commended. Once the work was completed my building was left clean. It was almost like no work was done. Ahâ ¦.and I was left with a beautiful roof and chimney. The owner Mr. Jaime was very thorough explaining the work, providing options, and most importantly he gave us follow up calls to make sure everything was ok. Nice and Fast is absolutely great and reliable!"

"Great personnel, fantastic job! I know the owner and the team of the company for a few years now. They worked on my company's three properties and recently I hired them for replacing the roof for my own house."

"I hired this company to repair a leaking skylight. They responded promptly to my request and was very professional. They gave me 3 options on the type of work they would do to repair the leaking skylight. I opted for the most expensive option because it came with a 5 year warranty from them. Their price was very affordable compare to other companies. I must have made changes to the contracts at least 3 times. They had no problem accommodating all of my requests. They completed the job when they said they would, working on the roof from morning 'til it was too dark outside to see. They came back following days just to add finishing touches. They were pleasant and professional and I would definitely hire them again."

Skylights questions, answered by experts

Roof windows and skylights can be installed on various roof materials, but skylights are usually the only option that you have if you have a flat roof or a roof with a slope under 15 degrees. In these cases, roof windows have too high of a risk of leaking to be suitable options. The specific installation requirements may vary, so it's important to hire a window replacement contractor. Certain types of roofs may not be ideal if they limit the size of the window or if they pose an issue with rainwater collecting around the area.

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.

The type of lighting you choose can have a big part in the aesthetic and function of your space. Ambient lighting refers to indirect or diffused lighting that evenly reaches most areas of the space. Task lighting illuminates specific areas, such as a workspace. Accent lighting draws attention to details in your home, and decorative lighting draws attention to itself.

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 replace a skylight without changing the entire roof—if the roof is in good shape. First, you need to make sure the roof around the skylight is intact and free of damage. Quality installation is crucial to prevent leaks, including replacing the flashing, which seals the skylight to the roof. While replacing the skylight alone is doable, it can make sense to replace both at once to streamline the work, coordinate the warranties, and reduce the risk of future leaks. If you’re unsure, reach out to a professional for help in deciding the best approach.
