"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."

"Nick is the best! He responded immediately after I submitted the details of the job on Angie's List, and he arranged to come to service my skylight the next morning. He did what was needed and pricing for his work was extremely reasonable, much less than I was expecting. I recommend him for any roofing-related job!"

"Did not do any work. It took them a few days to send me the pictures and an estimate for a new roof.
The person that came out was a salesperson, that was a red flag, because I knew they were going to try to sell me something.
I probably would have dealt with a local company and not used the Big Deal. Price for the Big Deal was fair."

"The overall experience with AJWDS was excellent with pricing, service, and installation. Would not hesitate to use their services again. The installation crew was efficient and completed the project much quicker that I anticipated knowing the pending weather constraints."

"We recently selected GP Home Improvements to replace the roof on our primary residence.
They were highly recommended by my brother who did his roof a year earlier.

We were totally satisfied with their service. They are experienced and professional roofers.
From the very first minute, Greg set the stage to outline the various options involved and choices to be made.

The  separate crews that arrived to install Aluminum roof section and paint Cedar siding, were all very professional and did an outstanding job. They also did a great job cleaning after themselves.
Everything was done according to their promises and to our expectations.
We highly recommend them to anyone in need of such services.

Their service from the beginning was top notch. High marks all around!!!"

FAQs for skylight installation projects in Philadelphia, PA

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.
