"when hail storm broke our skylights,,I sent email request that night for replacement,,,the company call me at 8 am next morning,,skylights were replaced that day. Pricey, but I had to get these replaced ASAP."
"They came out in 1 day and gave me an estimate the same day. Very professional and a competitive price compared to the other estimates I had. I called to accept the estimate, and they said it would take a week to order and install. One week later I called them and the secretary said they were on the way to install my skylight. One hour later they were finished and I am incredibly happy. I had to call to remind them to pay my bill! I will use this company again if I ever have to replace a skylight. Best of all they sent me a personal thank you note for the order-never had that happen before. Highly impressed and would give 5 plus stars!"
"Daylight Rangers installed 2 solatubes a year ago: 1 in my kitchen and 1 in my hallway. The before and after difference is amazing. My kitchen and hallway were so dark that I needed to keep lights on all day. The solatubes are round and match my recessed lighting. I don't need to turn the lights on until evening. The brightness was a little much for me at first, so he put filters in which softened the light. I would recommend solatubes to add natural lighting to a room. I would also recommend Daylight Rangers. They were prompt, did a good job with installation, made a follow up visit and follow up calls. Good customer service."
"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 had old sliders that were barely moving. RC repaired them and now they work like new. Very happy with the quick service and professional work they did."
"Cahill with Hilltop came out within 24 hrs after initial phone call interaction. He was very professional and took the time to know not only the problem that needed repair but our personal and financial situation! We had added a Sunroom apprx 20 yrs ago and it had developed multiple areas where it was leaking when it rained! He Provided several options to handle the repair. Repair was completed promptly with “NO” issues during the repair and none to this point since the repair! I would highly recommend Hilltop to anyone needing not only roof repair but for other home projects and/or construction to get their input and direction! It became obvious they have the experience but also a sincere attitude to help their customers!! I will be calling and using them in the future without hesitation!! Bill McDonald"

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.
Common skylight issues include leaks, condensation between glass panes, damaged seals, and cracks in the glazing. Regular exposure to weather elements can lead to these problems, requiring timely attention to preserve the integrity of the skylight and the surrounding roof structure.
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.
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.
To maintain a skylight and ensure its performance over time, regular maintenance is required. This includes periodically cleaning the glass and frame to remove dirt, debris, and condensation. It is also crucial to inspect the seals and flashing at least once a year for any signs of wear, degradation, or leaks, paying special attention after heavy storms. Ensure that the drainage system is clear to prevent water buildup and potential leaks. Address minor issues like cracks promptly and consider occasional resealing to prevent drafts and moisture problems. While energy-efficient skylights with Low-E coatings or double glazing may require less upkeep, periodic professional servicing can help keep any skylight in optimal condition.
