Skylight

Skylights Unlimited just installed a 4x4 Velux Skylight above our formerly dark staircase. Our upstairs hallway is now full of light! Ed did a great job, first locating the ideal spot for the skylight and then constructing the surrounding walls to ensure maximum light exposure. Our house is a bit older (1970s) but this did not cause any problems getting the skylight in a great location. Chris did a great job covering the drywall and painting the ceiling. Skylights Unlimited did the job fairly quickly, without sacrificing workmanship and to quoted cost. They left a clean worksite every day, worked the whole day and did not cause any disruptions - my 10 month old son was able to nap peacefully. I would highly recommend anyone with a dark house get a skylight and use Skylights Unlimited.

Skylight Replacement

The work was done quite well. I notice the difference in changing my old skylight for a triple-glass skylight. The draft was gone and sealed. There was the smell of construction material after the first couple of rainfalls, but that went away.

The only issue I had was the timing. There were too many delays and missed opportunities. I had to chase the company down for updates on when the work would be completed. Originally told the job would be done in 2-3 weeks, but it ended up taking 8 weeks.

Obviously, for the good work they do, they need to hire more people; but they should set expectations that can be met.

Hi Rick thank you for your comments. I do appreciate your feedback, although I think you are forgetting that when you chose to upgrade to the triple glass pane skylight, it changed the timeline (compared to a standard two pane glass skylight) and the skylight took 8 weeks to be delivered to us from the manufacturer and we had told you that when we ordered the skylight. I can appreciate that as the customer you may not care why the job took as long as it did, but I think in fairness to us, the reason for the delay should be clear. Regard, Susan

Skylight Fix

I had a great experience with unlimited skylight. They were helpful, professional and most importantly great at their work. We had a leaky skylight for weeks and they came in and did the assessment and fixed the issue in a bit more than a week. Brady did our assessment and even helped look at another issue we had on our roof and Chime did the great work on the installation. Would definitely use these guys again.

Solarium Replacement

Job was to start in November and be completed within two weeks, 'three weeks for worst case scenario'. It took four months all winter. Problems included poor communications, unexplained delays which pushed back the start of other kitchen renovations, materials not ready, incorrect window measurements 3x, improper support connections of the solarium to the house which required reopening contact points of wall and sills in the interior of the kitchen after the brand new kitchen was installed and complete.
Expensive and exhausting.

$65,000.00

I apologize for the way this project went. You are correct that it took much longer than it should have and that there were some issues with communication and some glass measurements. The project manager and the head glazier on this project made some errors and were poor in their communication with you. As this project started to show these issues I tried to replace both of them, but could not find somebody to come in mid-process and unfortunately you paid the price on having the project last longer than it should have. As a result, both the project manager and the glazier have been let go. Nevertheless as the owner of the company, the buck stops here and I have to take ultimate responsibility for the frustration that you went through.
Despite all these issues, as the final inspection that we did together has shown, your solarium is well built and ready to stand the test of time and weather. My hope is that before long, the enjoyment and satisfaction that the solarium will bring, will outweigh the frustration of the process.
