"Project was never completed. Paid over half the cost of the project. Don completed a portion of the project, but then he never came back to finish the project. Called and texted him numerous times to no avail. I wish I had read reviews from previous customers posted here before I hired him. BUYERS BEWARE and do your research."

Our primary business is roofing, siding, gutters, & storm damage repair for home owners, specializing in work authorized by the insurance company after a covered loss from storm damage. Guardian is a group of individuals that bring a combined 100 years of experience in selling, managing, and installing all the services we provide. We specialize in roofing, siding, and gutters, but our team will discuss any job you wish to complete with satisfaction guaranteed!
"Our experience with Guardian has been nothing but exceptional. From the beginning they insured that our home was safe from additional damage by covering exposed areas of the roof until the insurance company could coordinate with Guardian. Guardian was there to coordinate with our insurance company adjuster and make sure all the local code requirements to install the new roof were met. The materials used are top notch, giving us an ice and water shield and a 50 year warranty on the roof, that will long out last us. During the roof install the crew was here early, covered all the bushes and shrubs, worked quickly and efficiently, and were finished by mid-afternoon. They made sure all debris and nails were picked up like they were never here. These guys know what they are doing and are professional and friendly. I would not hesitate to recommend this company to anyone that I know."

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.
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.
