Skylight Specialist, Replacement , Service, Repair, and New installations. Stocking VELUX solar skylights, since 1981. Only VELUX Five star certified specialist in Portland
The job went very well. We initially called because we believed the seal had become so damaged that a bee had crawled through it. Mark and Dan arrived right on time, hopped on the roof and discovered that the skylight, which picture evidence proved had been poorly installed by some third party (considering the quality of the installation, it could've been the prior homeowner for all we know), actually had a seal so degraded that a small bee's nest had formed in a gap between the skylight and the roof. Not that they should have to play exterminator, but the men wiped out the bees with some on-hand insect repellent, and then replaced the damaged seal with a new, high quality version. (They also cleaned the skylight pane!) To top it off, Mark offered me a discount on a new skylight when I am ready to have it done. And, I plan to call for that follow-up service any day now.
Description of Work: Mark and Dan reviewed a bad seal on our existing skylight for repairs. Promptly and quickly, they replaced our leaking seal with a new, high quality version.

Called three companies that all had strong ratings from Angie's List. Natural Skylight came in with the best price and they also were the only ones to suggest reinforcing an existing rafter that was next to where the skylight would be installed. They did great work.

My skylight blew off during a windstorm on Sat. evening. The next morning, Sunday, I checked Angie's List and called Natural Light Skylight at 8:00 a.m. Their answering service contacted the owner and he called me back immediately. After asking me to get measurements of the broken skylight which had landed in my yard, he provided me with some price quotes. He explained the cost of a standard replacement but also told me because of the size it might have to be a custom replacement. We agreed to meet at 11:00 a.m. that Sunday. Dan, an employee of the company, came promptly at 11:00 and was able to install a new skylight, the job was completed by noon. This company went above and beyond to get to me quickly.

I couldn't be happier. Mark arrived precisely on time for the installation, replaced the skylight, and cleaned up. When I asked him to return to inspect the integrity of the installation, he squeezed me into his schedule immediately. He was astoundingly thorough, inspecting the skylight from the bathroom, the attic, and the roof. We determined the installation of the skylight was fine, but Mark went above and beyond the call of duty to determine exactly where my problem originated. We discovered that my problem was a lack of downspouts on the upper level of the house to the gutter system. The lack of downspouts allowed a rush of rainwater to overflow the ridge of my roof and flood the valley, causing my problem. He spent a great deal of his time that day assisting me and making sure I felt secure about his work. I do! I will hire him again in a heartbeat!
Description of Work: I hired Mark in August 2008 to inspect and ultimately replace a bathroom skylight that was leaking. When Portland started getting rain in September, I asked him to come back to ensure the integrity of the installation.

We were absolutely thrilled with Mark's service and professionalism, and we couldn't be happier with our Sun Tunnels. Mark was responsive, prompt, quick, and thorough. He made sure to discuss all our options before cutting for the skylights so that we'd be sure to get the best results. We had a small concern a few days after installation, and he came out immediately to make sure it was corrected. He and his staff were friendly and pleasant, and left our home as clean as they found it. We'll definitely use him again!

Mark and I have had a long ongoing relationship spanning back to my first skylight in my former house in 1989 when I connected when I connected with Mark at a home remodel show at the Portland Coliseum. He installed my first Velux power-operative skylight in my dark master bath. This room was instantly transformed into great space. The work was done when I was away on a business trip. When I returned, the skylight was magically in place with no hint of construction debris. It did so much for my house that in 1992, I contracted with Mark to install another Velux power-operative skylight in my family room. In 1993, Mark installed another power-operative skylight in my kitchen. And, last but not least, in 1994, Mark installed a Sun Tunnel in my interior guest bath where, due to cross joists and ridge caps, a conventional skylight could not go. When I later sold this property, the new owners informed me that the many skylights were a great incentive to them in the purchase of my house. I have never encountered any leaking problems with any of the skylights that Mark has installed over the years. So when I purchased a new house in October, 2007, and it had a dark great room, I knew it would be easily fixable. Due to Mark's heavy work-load, it was necessary to schedule out several months in advance. In May, 2008, Mark and his crew installed a bank of 3 Velux power-operative skylights with mini-blinds which way exceeded any expectations that I might have had. He is still as thorough and meticulous as he was almost 20 years ago. The bank of skylights dramatically transformed my great room. Needless to say, I am absolutely delighted with the results!
Description of Work: Mark Slick, the owner of Natural Light Skylight Co., spent a significant amount of time designing a bank of 3 Velux power-operative skylights, complete with mini blinds and rain sensors. The skylights and blinds operate in unison with the touch of a button on the remote. In the event of rain, if the skylights are left open, they will automatically close. Mark is very detail-oriented and designed and flared the sheet-rock openings in a very aesthetic way, not only to enhance the appearance of the room, but to create optimum light from the skylights. He also was able to match perfectly the craftsman style trim.

I contacted Mark quite some time ago and learned that he does indeed have a very busy schedule, but because no one else has his reputation for quality of work and meeting his commitments, I was willing to wait until he was available. It was definitely the right decision. The job took a full week and throughout Mark did exactly what he said he would. He was always punctual and fun to work with. One thing I really appreciated is that he took the time to answer all my questions and discuss the project daily to make sure that all design considerations were taken care of. There was even a little 'scope creep' on my part regarding rerouting of some electrical service. Mark took it in stride without batting an eye. The difference the light has made in our space is phenomenal - the whole area looks bigger! I definitely plan to use Mark again and absolutely recommend him to anyone. I can't really comment on pricing - didn't price shop because I was convinced that I wanted Mark to do the work.
Description of Work: We had a new 4x4 skylight with shade installed in a kitchen dining area. With this size of opening, the work involved removing existing rafters and ceiling joists and reinforcing the area. Mark did the sheet rock work as well. Locating the skylight where I wanted it was somewhat problematic because of valley in the roof and the number of electric wires that ran through that area but Mark was able to figure out a way to place it just where I wanted.

Mark was great. He called back right away and scheduled a time to come by and give me an estimate. Because the two replaced skylights had to be custom ordered, it took a few weeks for them to come in. Mark came by during the first week or so after I hired him to cover and/or re flash the leaking skylights so that we would not have any more leaking while waiting for the skylights to arrive and be installed. I felt that Mark was honest with his assessment. I did not feel like he was trying to sell me more than I needed. I would recommend him to others without hesitation.
Description of Work: Mark installed two custom size laminated Thermolite skylights and re flashed all three of our skylights. This included the two which he replaced and one which had been replaced by a roofing company but was inappropriately flashed. Our skylights are larger than the standard size and two of them had been leaking. We wanted to replace them because they were the dome shaped ones originally installed in the home.

Wonderful service. Mark responded within hours of my initial phone call. We made arrangements to meet at my convenience and had an estimate for the repairs within 24 hours. After checking with Angie's list and professional roofers, I knew Mark was my best choice. We scheduled the work, which was about four to six weeks out. Mark and his crew arrived on time and ready to work. After a few minutes meeting Dubahn (our very big dog) they went to work. The job was completed promptly and professionally. They cleaned up the job site, left nothing behind. Billing was prompt and exactly on the estimate. I would highly recommend Mark, he is very professional and courteous.
Description of Work: Mark and his crew replaced two leaking skylights, repaired the roof with matching composition roofing. Trimmed the interior Sheetrock to fit the new skylights and cleaned up the project.

I contacted Mark Slick by email, based on positive comments from Angie's List. We played "phone tag" for several days. After discovering that my job would be a "full meal deal", he told me that his company was not taking jobs of this nature before April (6 months out), because he was too busy. I will not recommend this company to others.

I'M SURPRISED TO HAVE SUCH NEGATIVE FEEDBACK FOR BEING HONEST ABOUT OUR WORK SCHEDULE. WE CANNOT JUST, "SQUEEZE IN," A TWO WEEK JOB. 1) WE HAVE EXISTING CUSTOMERS AHEAD OF HER. 2) WE HAVE COMMITMENTS TO OTHER CUSTOMERS AND HONOR THOSE SCHEDULES. 3)WE WILL NOT LOWER OUR STANDARDS AND "SUB-OUT" WORK. WE DO EVERYTHING POSSIBLE TO ACCOMMODATE CUSTOMERS' SCHEDULES. PLEASE REVIEW -ALL- OF OUR FEEDBACK. I'M VERY PROUD OF OUR WORK AND THINK YOU WILL BE ABLE TO GET A BALANCED VIEW FROM OTHER ANGIE'S LIST CUSTOMERS. SINCERELY, MARK

Mark Slick came with helper to inspect our leaking skylights. He arrived on schedule, with helper. He removed the old skylights and immediately diagnosed the source of our recurring problems: The ever shrinking seal of Millguard skylights. Although the old skylights were under lifetime warranty, we decided to replace them since Millguard had not been able to fix the problems for longer than a couple of years at each visit over the past 10 years. Mark took the dimensions, ordered the skylights from Thermolite, came back with an impressive set of lifting equipment for the installation, shortly after we called him when our flat roof membrane had been installed. No surprises, just good work. We did not haggle so we don't know whether his price was right on or not. But we liked dealing with Mark. The work was done in December 2006, and as of Oct. 2007, we have had no leak: A first for our roof.
Description of Work: Diagnosed problem with old leaky skylights. Installed tarp to stop leaks until reroofing was completed and custom skylights ready for installation. Provided 2 large custom-made Thermolite skylights with Laminated Low E glass to fit the curbs. Installed the skylights after flat roof re-roofing was complete.

Mark met me after work to provide a quote and immediately I knew we'd found the right company. He didn't simply say, it will cost X, and will take X days to complete, he thought about the job, offering consultation about placement of the skylights; how if we put them in a particular location would provide a view of the woods we'd never even considered. Two days later we decided to move forward and Mark scheduled us for a couple of weeks out (with a day or two leeway). A few days before he confirmed the start date, and the night before called to confirm when they'd arrive. The next morning, exactly when promised, Mark and his crew arrived and went straight to work. They protected everything around the work area inside the house and spent the next 2+ days changing our attitude about our home. They were completely prepared for everything, including rain in July, and left without a trace (except for the 2 beautiful skylights). We couldn't be happier. We recommend them to everyone!
Description of Work: After providing a free estimate (accommodating my schedule), Mark & his team (Dan & Doug) installed 2 Velux 606 skylights (44" x 46") in a Structural Insulated Panel (SIP) roof of our 6 year-old timber frame, including all finish work.

Mark Slick came to my home to review the site and discuss with me my options for skylights and their prices. He gave me his prices in writing. Within a week he sent two employees to do the work. They were prompt, efficient, careful to cover the bath utilities and carpets to prevent damage while installing and cleaned up after completion. They also took time to give me instructions on the operable skylights. Mark followed up by phoning to see if I was satisfied with the installation.
Description of Work: Four stationery skylights were removed and replaced with two stationery "lights" and two operable "lights", all on a two-story, steep roof.

Job 1: He kept in contact for the est., scheduling wrk, & follow-up. On time. He was able to perform the work frm o/side, I didn't need to be home. Hard to tell he d been there. He resealed all 3 of the existing s/lights. I noticed that the upstairs rms were staying warmer. He advised me that the s/lights were older than he originally thought & gave some pricing on replacing the 3 of them. He followed up w/a ph. call to see how I felt abt the work done. Job 2: I d used him before. I called & let him know that whenever he was ready & had some time, we could replace them. Mark is very flexible in scheduling work. We scheduled time as early as possible. He was calling to give me some options w/in a wk. The crew showed on time to begin work & got started after a quick intro. They covered the indoor work area. They showed me where the leaks were at & just how bad the seals had become. Work was complete with 2 hrs. Looking great! They showed me how to use the crank to open the venting one.

We were able to get an estimate within 24 hours and the skylights were installed in a very timely manner and very professionally. The workers were great and efficient. The owner has been very accommodating and concerned, that we were happy with the results. The day the lights were installed, the workers were here on time and created very little noise or mess. Everything was double checked and cleaned up very nicely. We are enjoying our new skylights, very much.
Description of Work: We replaced all of our skylights (5). We changed two of them to opening skylights.

I called Mark Slick regarding a possible leak in a skylight that ended up being a roof leak. Though it turns out he cannot perform work in Clark County he gave me his email address to email him a picture of the skylight from the outside. He thought he could diagnose the problem that way and offer direction to me. I appreciated very much his willingness to do that. When I called the number for the company, a receptionist answered and said I would be called back, right away, I thought). She asked me where I had been referred from, so I said Angie's List. He called me back within 10 minutes. Very impressed. Thank you!
