"This is a top rate company with great service and a great product. Craig was helpful every step of the way and always responded quickly. The work was scheduled quickly and was finished in one day. What used to be an attic now has 4 skylights and will be a great living space."
"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."
"Reason for 4.5 rating is because our roof was just installed so from what I can tell so far I have no major complaints. we had ice cycles all around the roof the next day after installing (which we never had before) but was told by another source it was probably from the ice guard. also had a sky light installed and am very well pleased, except for some caulking which has to be done around the inside of the skylight (which I was told they do not do) I was given a small adjustment to help defray this cost. I think this company is very good to work with and the roof looks great."

"Only disappointment was they thought the shingles on the lower back where skylights were being were the same color as the roof and they are not. So it is mix match shingles with the skylight replacement. They did not tell me until they finished. A bit disappointed for 5k and have mix match shingles,other than that...Great service, Great job !!"
"The job was done efficiently and thoroughly. The roofers were friendly and polite and cleaned up thoroughly after the job was finished, This company goes the extra mile-they knew I needed the job to be completed before August. Although they were behind schedule due to the constant rain over this summer, they managed to fit me in. Without reservation I HIGHLY recommend Western PA Slate!"
"I bought the roof maintenance deal on Angies list and will definitely do it again. My house is small so Zach did not even charge me the full price...I did not even ask him to discount it. I am very happy with his service and even more happy that I found an honest, capable company for all my future roofing needs. I would definitely recommend calling them for all your roofing needs."
"Both Alvin and Mike did a superior job!!! Mike took extra time to ensure that all new shingles were properly aligned. And Alvin, what can I say, his craftsmanship was outstanding. This is in regards to the time he took to shape the metal around 3 skylights and they fit perfectly, Give them a bonus or a raise! Thanks, Paul"
Yes, reputable manufacturers typically provide warranties for their roof windows and skylights, and many installers also offer a labor warranty, although labor warranties often don’t last as long as the manufacturer’s warranty. A warranty from a skylight manufacturer is helpful in the event of leaks or other damage down the road on this type of home feature. The length of time and the terms of the warranty may vary, so it's important to review the details before making a purchase.
Professionals repair or seal a skylight by inspecting for damages, resealing any gaps with appropriate weatherproofing materials, replacing cracked glass or seals, and ensuring the frame is tightly fitted to prevent future leaks and ensure proper drainage.
Ceiling costs depend on many factors, such as the material used and size, but coffered ceilings are considered one of the more expensive ceiling options. If you want to install a coffered ceiling but have a limited budget, consider using plywood instead of hardwood—it costs $2–$4.50 per square foot, while hardwood can be as much as $20 per square foot.
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 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.
