Skylight and Roof Installation
I had a requirement to have 2 skylights installed on my roof below which is my living room with a cathedral ceiling. I had called a few other companies to look at this job but for various reasons I was not satisfied with their presentations.
I called Gerry's and asked them to have a look. I engaged with Rick to give me an evaluation on the project. He explained that they could do the job but suggested that at the same time I should replace the entire front roof at the same time. He advised that they could just patch around where the skylights would be installed but that likely I would be happier with the full front roof replacement.
There was no pressure on their part to do the full roof but it was just presented as an option for me to consider. I did decide it was in my best interest to replace the entire front roof and I am most happy I followed his suggestion.
In terms of the actual installation of the Skylights it is important that you have an experienced company perform this type of operation. You are having a structural change made to your house which could lead to disaster if you chose the wrong installer. The Skylights being installed were Velux. Gerry's has special training and accreditation from Velux that gave me confidence that the Skylights were going to be installed in the manner that the manufacturer intended.
On the day of the installation a sizable crew arrived and got right to work. The main lead for the Skylight installation was Paul. Any questions I had regarding how they would proceed were answered candidly, and I could tell by the answers that he knew what he was doing and had the expertise to do a more than competent job.
They sawed through the roof taking great care that the measurements required to place the Skylights exactly where I wanted them to be installed on the roof.
The day was extremely hot but the crew worked very quickly in stripping the roof and cleaning up behind themselves as they proceeded. This job was a 2 day job so it was necessary for them to tarp the roof when the end of the first day drew near. Even through the brutal heat of the day they ensured to take the proper time to tarp the roof to avoid any potential rain from getting into my home during the overnight hours.
They next day they returned to finish up the job of installing the shingles on the roof having fully finished the installation of the Skylights the day before.
Within a few hours, again on another brutally hot day they finished they roof. The last thing they did before they left was to clean up the site including insuring that the glass on the roof side of the Skylights were sparkling clean. The site was left clean and you would barely know that anyone had been doing a major project on my home.
I don't think it is any surprise that I highly recommend that at least you call Gerry's Roofing for an evaluation when considered a project on your home for Roofing, Siding, or Skylight installation.
