Robert Johnston in Toronto

Twelve years ago we had a fixed skylight installed when we bought our house; it was a big reno and we decided to economize at the time. The fixed skylight was fine and caused us no trouble but we finally decided to splurge and get a venting unit after 12 years in hopes of improving air conditioning performance on the second floor. Dennis quoted us a very fair price but most importantly, he showed up on time and in person to do so and spoke extremely knowledgeably and objectively about what we could expect for airflow, cooling, etc. He laid out all options from cheaper to more expensive and did not try to steer us in either direction. in fact we still took a month or so to decide while we continued to assess the performance of our aircon on the upper floor. We finally decided to go for it and got a Velux 24x48" solar-powered opener with rain sensor, timer and automatic shade which filters, but does not block all the light. the installation was done near the end of the hottest summer weather so next year will be a better test of air circulation but we can already tell it is going to be a huge improvement, and in the autumn it feels wonderful to have a little current of lovely fresh, cool air in the staircase (the unit sits over our stairs). As far as worksmanship is concerned, I was out when the job was done. When I got home that night you could not tell that anyone had ben in the house or on the roof; they did a fast and very professional job and left the place exactly as they had found it. Follow-up has been excellent (checking that we were happy) and operation to date is perfect. I was a little skeptical of a solar-powered motor (think of those solar-"powered" garden lights!!) but the motor has worked perfectly every time in all kinds of light conditions (and of course it works at night because the unit stores energy in a battery). So, Skylights Unlimited has two very happy customerrs in the Upper Beach neighbourhood of Toronto! I would unhesitatingly recommend them to anyone who wants a quality job from a well-established, professional firm that stands behind its work and knows what it is doing. Thanks Dennis, Tina, and everyone at the company. Best regards, Rob and Dave
