"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 !!"
"Best. Roof. Experience. Ever! Mike and his crew were fantastic. Good price, fit me in with in two days of estimate. Did the work for the estimated price in one day! Could not be happier. If you don't hire Western PA Slate Roofing... well I let you fill in the blank."
"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."
"Had a skylight leaking and of course it was during a week long rain, but the second Penn Ohio could make it out, they did. The skylight is not leaving anymore and they were very honest about what needed done and was very reasonable. Would recommend to anyone."
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.
Most homeowners insurance policies cover skyight damage that is caused by hail. Hail damage is considered a covered peril under most standard insurance policies. However, this only applies if your skylights were properly installed. Also, insurance policies vary, so be sure to check your individual policy to see if skylight hail damage is covered.
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.
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.
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.
