"Ron and Kevin did an excellent job of replacing our old skylights. Since the old, 30-year-old, skylights were no longer being produced, Ron custom designed skylights to fit in our space so they resembled our old skylights. They look fabulous. Ron and Kevin came when they said they would, worked diligently, and cleaned up after themselves. We were kept in the loop as to what was being done and what the cost would be. Ron is man of his word. Highly recommend."

"We are very satisfied with the replacement skylights (8 installed). Additionally, we are very impressed with how flawlessly NSS coordinated with our roofing company to efficiently install 8 skylights as an integral part of a much larger home improvement project. It was stress free for us. We would recommend this company without hesitation."

"Very quick to respond to posting and came next day for estimate. This was a small repair job on fascia and flashing which they handled at time of estimate for a reasonable price, especially considering the minimum fees that bigger contractors charge -- if you can even get the bigger guys to come out. Contractor (Eric) seemed knowledgeable and was polite and professional. Would hire again."

"I was happy to find a local company who could replace the ropes in 2 of my windows. They also replaced a broken pane in one of my "French doors". They'll come later this year for 3 other things I need done -- replacing 2 basement windows and a screen door."

"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."

FAQs for existing skylight repair, replacements or sealing projects in Lake Forest, IL

Yes, skylights can heat your house. Skylights pull in plenty of sunlight, and that solar gain raises indoor temperatures during bright hours. The extra warmth is great in winter, but can feel stuffy in summer. Keep the heat in check with shades, low-E coatings, or reflective films so you enjoy the light without driving up cooling bills.

A newly installed skylight lasts for eight to 15 years when built and maintained well. Regular cleaning, prompt repairs, and removing obstructions such as leaves and debris help keep the unit in optimal condition. Consistent maintenance prevents premature deterioration and keeps the skylight operating safely and efficiently over its lifespan.

Several issues trigger skylight leaks. The unit may not sit flush with the roof, letting water sneak in, or the flashing and weather-stripping could be breaking down. Sometimes it’s just interior condensation that drips when the AC runs hard against humid outdoor air. A quick inspection tells you which fix is needed.

Replacing a skylight takes between three and five hours under straightforward conditions, with professional crews ensuring safe installation. Larger units, custom shapes, very high ceilings, or hard-to-access areas add extra complexity, extending the work time accordingly. Careful planning and expert handling guarantee a secure replacement process even when complications are present.

It is not safe to attempt skylight repair or replacement on your own because the work involves dangerous roof access, handling fragile glass, and managing a heavy frame. Expert professionals provide the necessary skills and safety precautions, ensuring that installations or repairs are performed correctly while preventing injury and additional property damage.
