SOLATUBE BRIGHTER CONCEPTS LTD

Skylights, Solar Panels

About us

In 1994, Keith and Mary Lou Johnson opened one of the first Solatube dealerships (and we had twins and a one and three year old-yes we were busy!!!). Being pioneers in the tubular daylighting world wasn't easy but because of the excellent product being offered, and the excellent service we provided we were on our way to the top! After installing 10's of thousands of Solatubes in just about every imaginable house and structure we truely became the professional that every homeowner learned to trust for complete service. Our employees our honest, have integrity, our respectful, knowledgeable, friendly and clean!! We are very fortunate. For a recent price list with terms and conditions please contact brighterconceptltd@gmail.com or call us for a quote.

Had set up 4/1 install date, but my old attic fan started running on a warm day making very loud noise (was very old and destroying itself...). I called Brighter Concepts requesting they move date up. They agreed and came to my house 3/23. The installer discovered some unforseeable problems they had to work around but did so with no complaints or cost increase. The installer was done with everything in about 2.5hrs, cleaned up and I believe everything is just fine. I hesitate only because it has been 2 days since the job was done and it has not rained yet but there is no reason to doubt them. They estimated my cost at $1200. and that is exactly what they asked I pay them. They did not ask for any upfront money, there was no contract. The service/installer did the job, and gave me a receipt for my check. Done. I am very pleased with their work. The added outside light in our formerly dark kitchen is fantastic. Everyone with a dark corner or who just plain likes sunlight in their home, should have a Solatube.
Description of Work: Remove old attic fan replace with new solar powered fan. Install 14" solatube in Kitchen.

They have never attacked anything. I paid for skylights and solatubes and they never did the work. We started having a leak in the bathroom skylight, and we called a different company and they said Solatube damaged the roof and made it leak.
Description of Work: I had skylight and solatube work done.

Response from SOLATUBE BRIGHTER CONCEPTS LTD
I just discovered this terrible report my business received and immediately looked up the member to refresh my memory and try to figure out just what she is talking about. From my records: 07/31/02 Brighter Concepts installed a 10" 2ft Solatube with a light in a closet 02/26/08 She talked to me at a home show in St Charles and said either her skylight or Solatube was leaking. ( It is a rare, rare day that a Solatube leaks, and even rarer that it would happen after being installed for 6 years!) 4/15/08 We went to her home for a 10am appointment, no one answered the door, the installer went on the roof and saw no problem. We left a note and placed it in the door. 05/04/08 She emailed us, saying we never came. We responded we did and told her we found nothing wrong with the Solatube. The last we heard from her. In response to her note: 1. We never attacked anything???? 2. We installed a Solatube (if we didn't how could she say it leaked). 3. FYI-We don't install traditional skylights, never have and never will. She should find the company that installed the skylight and talk to them. 4. Finally, how could a Solatube in the closet make a Skylight in the bathroom leak? The member is confused, on who did what to her home and I'm sorry to say it member's comments are making no sense. She is saying we have never done anything, she is saying she paid for a Solatube and skylight that were never installed. Then the never installed Solatube is causing (the never installed) skylight to leak....WHAT?? No company should have to be slammed by a person that is this confused. Please look into your files and try to get everything right. I take more pride than you could imagine in my business and I am totally undeserving of this solid F-F-F-F-F-F rating. Please!

Installers were courteous and professional. The work was done without any problems. It was the easiest aspect about the house we are remodeling. Simple, simple. Brighter Concepts made everything easy.
Description of Work: We originally thought we just wanted 2 Solatube skylights. But they had a promotion going on, which was buy 3, get 1 free. We are so glad we decided on 4. They are awesome. I waited 10 years to get these and they were worth the wait!! I love the natural light. I am pleased beyond words!
