Skylights Unlimited Inc

Based on our previous bad experience with skylights, we made the mistake of not including a skylight in our new home from the builder 24 years ago. Due to the windows orientation, our staircase and hallways were always dark. We tried to brighten the area with decoration, paint and lighting but never achieved what we wanted. Several times we had considered selling our house but we really like the many other features of our house. We really needed a new skylight but my wife was concerned with the potential mess and disruption with a big retrofit.
After considering for past 15 years, we finally engaged with several contractors. We wanted a large skylight over the staircase opening. Most of the contractors who we talked to did not gave us the confidence that they can handle the project to our satisfaction. Many of them advertised that they can build skylights but in reality it was not their expertise and only as their side job combined with their roofing business. Some tried to convince us to go with a smaller skylight to avoid modifying the roof trusses.
Fortunately we connected with Skylights Unlimited. Denis was very responsive and sent his expert installer Ed, to scope out the work. Ed spent extensive time inside our attic just to figure out what is possible based on our roof structure and trusses. He outlined the various options but recommended a size of 7 ft. x 8 ft. and a configuration that best suited our house. He also described how he would construct the scaffolding to do the work and how to minimize the disruption and dusts. We felt assured of his extensive skylight installation expertise. The work involved were extensive. We were happy that Skylight Unlimited provided a fair price and timeline for the project.
The work was completed beyond our expectations. The dusts were minimal during the construction. It is now over a month since our skylight was installed. We could not be happier. The design of the skylight looks like a masterpiece integrated perfectly with the architectural features of our staircase and 2nd floor hallway. The interior finish inside the skylight tunnel is flawless under the bright natural light. The angle of the skylight allows the maximum amount of light into the house and allows us to easily see the sky and clouds. Every morning when entering the staircase, we are greeted with this flood of natural light, just brightens the start to our day. Every time when we look out at the skylight we feel blessed to have such a skylight and how happy that we decided to work with Skylights Unlimited, Denis, Ed and their crew of courteous professionals. You guys did a wonderful job for us.

We wished that we had installed the skylight 15 years ago because we missed out on 15 years of enjoyment.
