"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."

"We had a great experience with Allstate windows. Steve came out and met with us about the upgrades we wanted to do with our windows and siding. Steve answered all of our questions concerning the job. He was very knowledgeable in the products he was offering which made us feel comfortable, we received our quote by the next day decided to go with Allstate windows. The windows came in earlier than expected and the installation process was done in a timely matter by his crew. When the job was done they cleaned everything up and left the area very clean. Thanks again to Steve and his team at Allstate windows."

"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.

"After cleaning the gutters and inspecting the roof, I asked them to remove the small tarp from the roof. They did as I asked but then told me that the person who installed the tarp had used nails that put holes in my roof. It seems that once they realized on the first nail that by removing the tarp I would have a hole they should have told me. Instead they then offered to repair the holes for $195.

FAQs for skylight installation projects in New Orleans, 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.
