"Our skylight outer window layer shattered and they were very prompt in getting the glass replaced. They realized it was an urgent matter. And weâ re able to squeeze us into their schedule. Their work was completed well as if the window never broke in the first place. Pricing was very good and fair."
"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."

"I could not be more pleased with the whole project with Sun-Up construction. From the initial quote through the installation of the Sun Tunnel each member of the team was punctual, professional, and polite. The installers (Caleb & James) were very knowledgeable about their product, explaining the installation process and addressing any concerns or questions I had. I would definitely recommend this company for any Skylight project you may have!"
"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."
"Their work was excellent. They replaced our slate roof, added wood to roof, replaced the soffit & facia and the gutters and down spouts on a property that we own and are hopefully going to rehang a piece of facia that is hanging on our home due to high winds. They were very helpful in navigating us through the financing process as well."
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.
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.
Skylights are the most likely windows to leak if installed improperly, so there are a few questions you should ask any skylight installer before you hire them:
Do you specialize in skylight installation or only windows in general?
Do you offer any kind of warranty for the installation?
What recourse do I have if the skylight leaks shortly after installation?
Do you have references I can speak with?
How long have you been in business?
Are you licensed and insured?
While it is possible to install a skylight as a DIY project, it is not recommended. Skylights are the most likely type of window to leak due to their position on the roof. Even minor mistakes during installation can lead to significant water damage and high repair costs. Additionally, working on a roof is dangerous, especially when maneuvering heavy, bulky windows. Due to the required roof modifications and the need for proper sealing and structural safety, hiring a professional skylight installer is strongly advised to avoid costly long-term issues.
Water will leak through a skylight if there are issues in the sealing of the skylight. Find and fix those issues yourself if possible, but it’s a good idea to contact a professional, as there could be much more water damage than you initially saw. Plus, it’s dangerous to work on a roof without the proper safety equipment and know-how.
