"Rick and Kenny Cochran are the best roofers I've ever encountered. They provide MORE than what you contract with them to do. Instead of pages of small type, they have an easy to understand and short contract. Their price is totally fair, their quality excellent, and their service the best. I've never dealt with a contractor who worked as neatly as they did. They even had one of their workers check the area around the house for metal (screws, etc.) with a metal detector. Their employees were polite and worked hard. No blaring loud radios, no drama, no problems. When I tried to pay extra for the work they did above and beyond the contract, they would not accept additional payment. I have used them also for rental properties I own and, again, the same great service. Living in Florida, we just are not use to this type of professionalism and honesty."

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.
