"Jamie and crew did an excellent job in replacing the glass of a very large skylight. These guys know what they're doing and do it well. A big thank you to them for a job well done. I would definitely recommend this company--and I'm picky."
"The work crew was so quick. Absolutely no inconvenience. My wife was delighted with the skylight; it reduced the heat in the kitchen to negligible. Recommend the product and business to anyone."
"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."
"My skylight was leaking and needed to be be replaced. Jose came the next day. He installed a temporary one until he could get the right sized light. The whole project took just a span of two days. I was very pleased. Jose did exactly what he said he'd do in the time frame he stated."
"I initially requested a bid for skylight installation, however, they quickly became aware that my roof needed repair around the exhaust vents. Given the importance of the findings, I hired this company to install new flashing and repair weak spots in my asphalt shingle roof and they did an excellent job."
"Tommy and the team installed a new asphalt shingle roof for me and did an outstanding job. The team was professional, arrived on time, and the quality of the workmanship is top-notch."

"Over all We are happy with the job Clear Vision Did for us. The workmanship was over all good. I did see some things out of place but not a real big deal. The customer service in the beginning was a bit rough. I guess one owner did not want to honor our start update While the other owner DID THE RIGHT THING....THANKS to Michael and Gerry on getting it thru to the owners. After that The job went very good. Communication was great and there team listened and helped us make the right decisions as the job got finished. We got a 50 year roof with gutters. Thank you We are happy with the job, the roof looks great. Especial Thanks to Michael who sold us the job and walk us thru it and was there every step of the way and Gerry for being the leader Clear vision needs guide this company.. You are doing Great in your new Job. Again Thank you two."
"The estimator, Steve, gave us a reasonable bid and was then eager to compete with another company to earn our business. He was very responsive to all of my questions and concerns. Once the work began, a large crew of workers tore off the old roof and installed most of the new roof in a single day, and a smaller crew returned a few days later to install the skylights and finish the job. It has rained steadily for more than a week since and we haven't had any issues, and two estimators for chimney repair companies have commented very favorably on the quality of the work. The crew did a very good job cleaning up with only a few stray nails and pieces of shingles remaining under bushes. My only suggestion would be for the front office to let customers know well in advance of any scheduling changes, as I had to call a few times to find out that the job had been rescheduled."
Yes, solar tubes are easier to install than skylights because they’re lighter, smaller, and easier to handle. They also require less roof cutting and have a faster, simpler installation process. This means they’re a more DIY-friendly option for homeowners who want to add more natural light to their homes.
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.
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.
Yes, you can add blinds or shades to both roof windows and skylights, but roof windows tend to have more options available. Retractable skylight shades are popular on both options for added privacy, light control, and heat reduction, although they’re more expensive than manually-operated blinds or shades. If you have a roof window or skylight set in a high ceiling, a motorized or solar-powered skylight window covering is probably your best bet.
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.
