"Skylight Specialists did an amazing job. I would highly recommend this company: they are extremely professional and the quality of work was impeccable."
"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."

"Stephen was professional while he was working on my skylight roof project. He is very detailed with his work and explanation of the repair that needs to be done. The quality of the work seems great, but the true test will be when it really rains "cats and dogs" to be sure that the skylight will not be leaking again. But, Stephen assures me that he guarantees that it will not leak due to him taking pride in his work and professionalism at what he does. Stephen also guarantees his work with a two year warranty. That is a great peace of mind I have! And, this company is not expensive at all. I'm sure I must have saved a lot compared to other roof companies. I recommend Stephen's company: Rain Drop Roofing and Repairs."
"We had two skylights replaced by Sola-Lite after hail damage to our older skylights. The process of having the company measure, help us decide which skylight to purchase, order, and install was quite easy and smooth. We are very pleased with the skylights and would definitely use Sola-Lite again in the future."
Yes, skylights can affect a home’s energy efficiency, either positively or negatively. Properly installed, energy-efficient skylights with Low-E coatings, double glazing, and UV-blocking glass can help regulate indoor temperatures and reduce heating and cooling costs. However, poorly insulated or older skylights can contribute to heat loss in winter and excess heat gain in summer, lowering overall energy efficiency.
Pros of installing a skylight include the fact that you will get much more natural light in your home, skylights can make your room look bigger than it actually is, and your home may increase in value. Cons include difficult upkeep (you may have to get on a ladder to clean and maintain them), higher installation costs, and, potentially, too much heat gain from all the extra sunlight.
Leaks are the top concern for skylights, often due to improper installation or worn-out seals. Over time, water can seep in and cause major damage to your home’s ceilings and walls. Other common issues include condensation, which leads to mold, as well as physical damage from weather or debris. If they’re not sealed properly, skylights can also bring unwanted heat in the summer or cold in the winter, affecting your home’s energy efficiency and tacking on extra dollars to your bills.
This is based on personal preference, budget, and the vibe you are going for with your holiday lighting. If you are looking for the cheapest option, incandescent lights are a budget-friendly choice. You can also opt for sheets of lights that cover areas such as trees and bushes for easier installation.
Local window and door specialists, glaziers, and roofers should all install skylights. You can also do an internet search to find companies that specialize in skylight installation near you. Keep in mind that skylight installation is very complex and can be dangerous without the proper tools and safety precautions, so we don’t recommend this as a DIY project.
