"I had a leak in the skylight on my living room and I called Golden Hands construction to check it .They recommended I replace the skylight because the old one was completely cracked and not installed in good way"
"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!"
"Kadre came on time to provide me with an estimate for replacing a skylight. The estimate was very thorough. He showed me pictures and videos of what he saw while on my roof and took the time to explain everything from why the skylight was leaking, the steps he would take to complete the job as well as the materials he would be using. The quote he gave me was very reasonable. Also while he was on the roof he recommended fixing two gutters ( which I already new I had to get fixed) and was able to give me an honest price on those as well. When it came time to do the repair, he came four days after the estimate (on a Sunday because it worked best for me) and again was right on time. The whole job of replacing the skylight and fixing the gutters only took a few hours. They cleaned up any debris and again reviewed the job he did with pictures and video from the roof ( which is a big help since I don’t like going on the roof). Before leaving I was made aware that he also does siding. He gave me an on the spot estimate to do that job as well and I am already sure that I will be using him for that in the spring. I only write reviews when I have an absolutely terrible experience to warn others or in this case when the company is extraordinary and goes above and beyond. I can without hesitation recommend this company"
"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."
"Very prompt and professional. Called them on Monday for a quote and they did the work on Wednesday, replacing our old leaking skylight. The new skylight looks great. I would highly recommend them for any home improvement project."
"Star Dynasty is very professional. Very accurate. Very knowledgeable about the project they did for me. I’m definitely going to continue to hire them for all my future projects. I would Recommend then to anyone who needs projects done on their home. I cant Say enough about this company."
Installation typically takes 1-2 days, depending on the required roof type and structural modifications.
Yes, flat roofs can make use of a skylight or window to allow natural light into the home. When finding the best skylight installer, it’s important to pick a professional with experience working with a flat roof. The installer must pick the right type of window design to match the slight slope of the roof.
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.
Skylights might sometimes increase your homeowners insurance premium, but the increase is usually minimal. Some home insurance companies won’t adjust your premium with the addition of a skylight, so you can contact your insurer or your professional skylight installer to ask about any expected changes. It’s crucial to have an expert install the skylight, as insurance companies may not insure your roof or cover water damage that results from a non-professional skylight installation.
The decision to remove a skylight depends on your specific circumstances and preferences. There are several reasons why you might consider removing a skylight, such as extensive damage, a desire for better insulation, or the need to change the room's layout. Additionally, if the skylight is causing leaks or other issues, it may be necessary to remove and replace it (which can incur additional skylight installation costs). It's important to assess your specific situation and consult with professionals if needed to make an informed decision.
