"The salesman was not pushy as previous reviews cited. I did have to initiate the calls to find out about my order status, on several occasions. He was quick on his response after my inquiries. On the day of installation, the crew was on time and vocal about their objectives. Overall they were quick and the quality of work was good. A friend of theirs came and hung out with them for the entire job until they moved into my backyard. This concerned me because this person was able to see inside my house, etc. When the job was done, they did not clean up some of their trash and they scratched up several of my window sills and walls inside the window cove. I had to putty and paint myself. They also cracked a tile in the bathroom and did not acknowledge this upon doing so. I caught it in the final inspection but they tried to act like it was just an accident so they should not have to fix it. I told them to make it right, it's what good companies do even when they make mistakes. They gave me 10 dollars from their pocket to buy tile epoxy for me to fix myself. The balance owed was 10 dollars more than what my contract said after I paid the deposit. The lead installer made it look like they were doing me a favor by not charging me the extra 10 dollars. I had to make it clear that no favors were done. Finally , the quality of the windows are less than their competitors. You get what you pay for. Their windows are only good for a reno and a quick sale or a rental property. If you plan on getting good noise reduction and living in your home, don't go with Allstate.

"As a former installer, the salesman was very experienced and knowledgeable, and able to recommend an aesthetically pleasing and viable solution to a problem drainage area. He was also able to clearly explain the problem with the load on the existing gutter and the reason increasing the slope even more was not possible due to a slight curvature in the roof 's edge. So the salesman made sure there were no 'surprises'.
while the work was impeccable, and there were no added costs or other surprises, there are two areas I see for improvement: 1) worker language and 2) scheduling.
Regarding the first point, during the execution of the job, the helper evidently lost his temper and went into a screaming foul-mouthed (f******, etc.) rant for several minutes. I heard this from inside my home, as I'm sure did my neighbors, and any children who may have been at home during the summer.
Regarding the second point. The office staff calls to schedule work the very next day. This is OK as my schedule was pretty flexible, but I had to turn down the first scheduling call. I was able to accept next day scheduling the next time they called.

FAQs for skylight installation projects in Metairie, LA

Professional contractors complete solar tube installations within several hours per unit, depending on roof accessibility and interior finishing requirements. The process involves precise measurement, careful roof penetration, tube assembly, and interior diffuser mounting. Factors like roof complexity, attic obstructions, or custom finishing details may extend the timeline. For safety and efficiency, professional installation proceeds more rapidly than DIY approaches.

Solar tubes provide more cost-effective natural lighting than conventional skylights, particularly for smaller spaces or limited budgets. While traditional skylights offer open sky views and ventilation options, tubular alternatives deliver comparable illumination at substantially lower installation costs. Solar tubes also require smaller roof openings, reducing structural modifications and potential leak points. Your specific needs regarding aesthetics, budget, and lighting requirements should guide this decision.

Do solar tubes work well in cloudy climates?

Solar tubes remain effective even in regions with frequent cloud cover, though illumination intensity naturally decreases during overcast conditions. Their highly reflective interior surfaces maximize ambient light, providing meaningful brightness even without direct sunlight. For locations with extended cloudy periods, consider models with supplemental lighting options that activate automatically when natural light diminishes. Most homeowners find that solar tubes provide worthwhile illumination benefits regardless of regional weather patterns.

Quality solar tubes provide an average of 20 years of effective illumination before noticeable dimming occurs. Premium models with enhanced materials and professional installation may extend performance up to 50 years, depending on environmental conditions and maintenance practices. Manufacturers often back their products with 10 to 25-year warranties covering materials and performance. Regular inspection and occasional dome cleaning help maximize operational lifespan.

Solar tubes work most effectively in rooms with direct roof access above them. Upper-floor spaces like bathrooms, hallways, and closets make ideal candidates for these lighting solutions. Installation becomes more challenging in rooms without vertical access to the roof, such as in multi-level homes or beneath attics with complex obstructions. Extended tubing configurations may provide solutions for spaces without direct roof access, though with potentially reduced light transmission.

Properly installed solar tubes with appropriate flashing and sealing should not cause roof leaks. Most water infiltration issues stem from incorrect installation techniques or unsuitable materials for specific roof types. Using manufacturer-recommended flashing kits designed for your roofing material significantly reduces leak risks. Regular inspection of exterior seals and prompt attention to any signs of moisture help prevent potential water damage. Professional installation provides the best protection against leakage concerns.
