"Chuck is a real pro! Prompt, efficient, clean, detailed, knows his stuff. Redid our shingles and added waterproofing to our skylights and re-pointed our chimney. Very good price and superior workmanship. I have another project pending with him in the near future. Would absolutely recommend!"
"Dealing with O'Brien Brother's Construction was a absolute pleasure from start to finish. The job consisted of removing and replacing a 30x30 vented skylight, new water & ice shield installed along with matching the existing shingles. The job came out great. I highly recommend this company for your next job."
"Hired land star to fix a leak in my kitchen coming from ice buildup on my roof. Steve came the next day. New exactly what was wrong with roof and gave a fair price. Came the following day removing snow and ice. Then came the next day and fixed roof. He was prompt and is very knowledgeable. Would definitely recommend and use him again."
"The hook on my skylight broke off with the skylight in the open position. Nick came that day and although he did not have a new hook that day he closed the skylight for me (2nd floor 15-20 feet up) for no charge and said he would be back the next day to repair the closing mechanism. As it turned out, my skylight glass was actually cracked and had been for some time. nick gave me a price to repair the open/close mechanism and replace the glass. He asked for no money upfront (very unusual these days). He came the next day (arrived on time - also very unusual these days) went up on the roof, took out the old glass, put in the new glass and repaired the open/close mechanism. Within 40 minutes I had a beautiful new skylight with a 5 year warranty. I would HIGHLY recommend Nick and this company."
"I recently had a skylight repaired and a small new roof installed, and I'm very satisfied with the work. The team was professional, punctual, and respectful of the property throughout the project. The skylight no longer leaks and looks great, and the new roof section blends in perfectly with the existing structure.
They explained everything clearly before starting, provided a fair quote, and completed the job on time. Clean-up was thorough, and I appreciated their attention to detail. I’d definitely recommend them for both small roofing jobs and more specialized repairs like skylights"
Yes, you can install skylights on an existing roof, and it’s a common service that many homeowners opt for, especially on older homes built when skylights weren’t as prevalent. The installation process will be a bit more involved, and the design and planning process will take longer, meaning you’ll pay more to install a skylight on an existing roof than you would in new construction. The process involves cutting a hole in the roof, moving rafters, if necessary, and installing and sealing around the skylight.
Yes, solar tubes work during the winter as long as it’s light outside and they aren’t covered by snow. Sun tunnels are made to work year-round to bring in natural light, and some people find them even more beneficial during the winter. With less daylight outside, it can be even more important to bring brightness into homes to reduce electricity costs.
An improperly installed skylight could potentially impact your roof's warranty. This happens because roofing penetration is necessary during skylight installation. Check your warranty information to verify. In most cases, having skylights professionally installed with proof that flashing is being done to specifications can be enough to preserve your roof's warranty.
Installation typically takes 1-2 days, depending on the required roof type and structural modifications.
Yes, you can cover up a skylight if you no longer wish to have it in your space. There are a few options for covering up a skylight. One option is to install a skylight cover or shade that can be easily opened or closed as needed, allowing you to control the amount of light entering the room. Another option is to cover the skylight with a solid material, such as plywood or drywall, effectively sealing it off. However, when covering a skylight, it's essential to ensure proper insulation and waterproofing to prevent any issues in the future.
