Tri-County Contracting is a family-owned and operated company in Wisconsin. As a full-service exterior home remodeling company, our family has been helping other families across the Greater Milwaukee area transform the look and feel of their homes for more than 40 years.
"Tri Co Contracting did an excellent job on our roof. Jeff and Luke are professionals, and easy to ask questions and talk to. Our roof is beautiful and was done in one day, they covered everything all around the house. They used a big trailer for the tear off instead of a dumpster that trashes the driveway. All the roofers were polite and worked hard and cleaned up any mess. No nails left behind. They gave us a good price and I looked on their website and checked out their work on other houses. I would highly recommend them to anyone to have work done on their house by Tri County, thank you. Dave Cerny"

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.
