"Used them at the recommendation of a friend, to install gutters for two story house. Gutters Worked however when it rained heavy, my flowerbeds got completely flooded due to where the downspout was installed. I called and sent photos to see if maybe I needed additional downspouts installed or relocated to divert the water elsewhere away from my foundation and never got a call back from them. On two separate occasions. Then come to find out from the person who referred them, they responded to him in recent days and continued to do work for him. I guess I will not be using them for further projects if they don’t even respond about the projects they completed. I guess since it’s a small job, maybe it wasn’t worth their time."
"They were wonderful and went far beyond what they were supposed to do. My attic door was broken and he went ahead and fixed that for me on top of everything else."
"Great! Ryan Boulanger came out, checked roof, found two "hits" that didn't penetrate. Said it needed no attention but he would be back in August to check again in case the heat of the summer uncovered damage that isn't immediately apparent. When they put the roof on a year ago, they worked quickly, did a good job, cleaned up. Cost was totally insurance so I can't detail that. A few months after install, I noticed a very, very tiny discoloration in the ceiling. I called RBC. Ryan came right out and found a very small area around a vent pipe that wasn't sealed. He immediately fixed and insisted on calling his painter to come fix the discoloration ... all at this expense. I would highly recommend this company. "
"Super nice guys. Very eager to please. Did some things extra at no charge. He noticed and so had cemented a large stone step that had come loose, just to be nice. He even painted the workbench (unrequested). Work done: Replaced several 2x4s that had rotted. Sprayed the area with anti-mildew product, then replaced damaged paneling, and painted those areas. Gave advice on some runoff drainage needed for the area. "
"It was a great experience. There was a bit of confusion at first as to who I needed to speak to to have an estimate made. This was cleared up easily and the estimate went through without a hitch. I was able to schedule the work to be done the following and it was very flexible. David and Andy were very professional and polite. The work done was above par and I would definitely recommend them to anyone who needs any roofing done. They definitely went above and beyond! "
"They were fast, friendly & knowledgeable,they got the job done cleaned up and left. Would highly recommend them to anyone.thanks for referring them."
An improperly installed skylight could potentially impact your roof's warranty. This happens because roofing penetration is necessary during skylight installation. Check your warranty information to verify. In most cases, having skylights professionally installed with proof that flashing is being done to specifications can be enough to preserve your roof's warranty.
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.
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.
Yes, you can add blinds or shades to both roof windows and skylights, but roof windows tend to have more options available. Retractable skylight shades are popular on both options for added privacy, light control, and heat reduction, although they’re more expensive than manually-operated blinds or shades. If you have a roof window or skylight set in a high ceiling, a motorized or solar-powered skylight window covering is probably your best bet.
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.
