"Beyond our expectations - Highly recommended 5+ Stars. From the time we met Tom and received the quote then working with Mark and Leann on scheduling our 3 fixed Velux Skylight Replacements with Solar Powered Light Filtering white shades to our existing 30yr old Velux Skylights with alum blinds. On installation day the crew (Dave, Martin, Julio, and Jorge) were very knowledgeable, professional, kept the work area clean throughout the entire job and communicated with us how things were going. The entire work area was cleaned inside and outside. Awesome crew! In summary, we could not be any happier with the top-notch professionalism, communication, coordination and installation of our 3 fixed Velux Skylights that were exceptional throughout the entire process. Thanks Tom, Mark, Leann, Dave, Martin, Julio, and Jorge for everything. We greatly appreciate everything you did for us! Referrals will come your way from us. All the best!"

"Outstanding work! Excellent service. I highly recommend Solar Brite. I received an immediate response to my quote request. Work was completed quickly and the price was fair and reasonable. It’s refreshing to work with a professional team! I had 2 skylights replaced and the interior boxes painted. Great job and wonderful to work with the team."

"Simply put, you will NOT find a better, more honest, more helpful, more easy-to-work-with, reasonably priced contractor than John Lee and his crew at J & K Home Improvement & Restoration! We had a "complicated" set of circumstances when our home was damaged by a storm, last winter. The insurance company sent out an estimator to assess the damage and, after the company recommended J & K Home Improvement & Restoration, I was introduced to John Lee. I eventually learned that John also does estimates for a variety of insurance companies (because his company is so well regarded), and he patiently listened as I described the nuances associated with our house. During our initial consultation, he was able to clearly describe all of the steps that would be necessary and answer all of our questions. Long story short, not only was John able to address EVERY single concern and request that we had regarding the eventual repairs to the house (including roof, siding, and a window upgrade that would have cost much more if we had done it at a later time), but he spent plenty of extra time making sure that everything we had talked about was addressed to our 100% satisfaction! He was also able to persuade the insurance company to cover more complete repairs than was originally specified by the first adjuster! In addition, when we had an electrical "hiccup" associated with all the pounding on the walls, John quickly sent an expert electrician to locate and correct the problem. He absolutely could have passed those charges on to us because the failure wasn't due to any mistake on the part of his crew but, instead, he picked up the unanticipated expense himself. It was truly a pleasure to work with John! He made a difficult situation as easy to manage as possible, and we would strongly recommend J & K Home Improvement & Restoration to anyone who wants to hire a quality contractor that stands behind their work and well-earned reputation!"

FAQs for skylight installation projects in Schaumburg, IL

You can add skylights to your existing roof with careful planning and the expertise of a professional. Skylights perform best on angled roofs, which optimize water runoff and prevent leaks and water damage. It's essential to hire a contractor experienced in retrofitting skylights to ensure accurate placement and long-term durability for your home.

Skylights often last 20 to 40 years, with select high-end models lasting up to 55 years due to their robust design and high-quality installation. The brand, installation quality, and local climate conditions determine the lifespan. A warranty-backed skylight ensures protection against early failure, providing reliable performance throughout its entire lifespan.

Solar tube lighting and skylight windows differ in design and functionality. Solar tubes channel natural light through small, cylindrical tubes that do not provide an exterior view, making them ideal for compact spaces. In contrast, skylight windows deliver expansive sky views and incorporate UV filtering features. Solar tubes cost $200 to $500 for materials, representing 60% of the expense of installing a skylight, which demands advanced installation techniques for proper sealing against leaks.

Professional installation is essential for skylights, so local window and door specialists, glaziers, and roofers are the experts to trust. These professionals possess the specialized skills and equipment required for accurate placement and secure sealing, minimizing the risk of leaks and structural damage. Hiring a certified expert ensures a safe and efficient installation that enhances natural light and improves energy efficiency in your home.

Insect screens can be installed on ventilated skylights to combine fresh air circulation with pest prevention. Ventilated skylights are designed to accept insect screens that cost $10 to $50 each, ensuring that insects are kept out while natural light and airflow are maintained. This addition improves comfort and overall efficiency in your home.

Installing a skylight provides enhanced natural light and increases the perceived size of a room, adding significant value to your home. However, skylights require consistent maintenance, involve higher installation costs, and demand professional expertise to prevent leaks or water damage. Weighing these benefits against the challenges helps you make an informed decision regarding installation.
