Fabulous! I would hire Ron again in a heartbeat. His pricing was extremely fair. He arrived for both the inspection and the installation exactly at the time he quoted. His work was completed professionally and to a very high standard of expertise. Ron was able to install our new windows within two weeks of the time we hired him. Ron is a great guy.

Ron Jolin was called about the skylight window after I called Sela windows.The people at Sela windows told me that I had to wait until spring for them to come and take a look at my skylight.I called Ron next and he told me that my skylight was under warranty and he came out took a look sealed the window since it had been leaking and ordered a new window.We put the new window in the garage till spring then Ron will put it in for free and today was that day Ron came out and took care of the skylight just like he said he would do.He did an excellent job and I would recommend him to anyone.

AWESOME! Ron is efficient, professional and a great communicator - especially in regarding initial appt. scheduling, and explanation process. On time for each step, early starts to complete project before the heat of day. There was roof damage from the previous leak - he explained additional work, costs prior to proceeding. I was asked early to pick up additional shingles. He was respectful & plan-full to prevent interior mess of stuff falling in. Completed the process by reviewing warranty and any care questions I had. The appearance of quality of workmanship is impressive. In fact we hired him to proactively replace another aging skylight. Looks great, and handled the 6/11/17 hailstorm perfectly. I RECOMMEND THAT YOU HIRE HIM FOR PROFESSIONAL SKYLIGHT INSTALLATION, AT A FAIR PRICE!

He arrived at 6am and worked outside for about an hour so it was not disruptive at all. He finished a little before 10am. Ron was prompt in responding to my email for an estimate and prompt on arrival. I am very satisfied with his work and installation of a Verilux skylight in my bathroom. He is very respectful and considerate. A great choice for this type of work as he is a skylight specialist. Many roofers are no interested in this type of job.

I e-mailed a request for a quote on a Sunday morning and my phone was ringing in less than 10 minutes. Ron came out on Monday to do the estimate and we scheduled for Thursday due to the weather. Never had this fast service and one of the best companys and people I have ever worked with. Thanks Ron for a great job experience. Would highly recommend.

His service and response was top notch. We called him about our problem with our leaky skylight. When we called him about our leaky skylight problem, he was able to give us some information about what might be the causing the leak and gave an estimate over the phone. We had him come out to inspect our problem and he showed us how our skylight was installed wrong that caused the leak. After calling several other companies, we decided to go with him because of the price and confidence we felt that he was the most experienced and knowledgeable one to do this job. He showed up 15 minutes early and finished on time. We appreciate he took time to check our roof and showed us that there were no additional roof damages before he continued working to replace the skylight. He took the time to explain how we can repair the drywall ourselves after completing the job. Everything went smooth and he did a great job! We would recommend him and we would rehire him again.

I contacted Ron in November 2014 in a panic because a skylight started leaking in my master bedroom. He contacted me immediately and promptly stopped the leak. He gave me a quote and, due to weather conditions, tentatively scheduled our skylight replacement first thing in the Spring. Right on schedule, he called me in March to schedule our skylight replacement. Due to a snafu on our part (aka: husband indecisiveness) we didn't get our skylights replaced until July. As soon as I called Ron to schedule the replacement, he immediately ordered the skylights and was at our house within a week. Ron was extremely professional and prompt. His attention to detail is commendable. Between my husband and three young children, Ron has the patience of a saint! I highly recommend hiring Ron. You will rarely see a harder worker than this man!

Ron was very responsive from the first call about our leaky skylight. He came out within a half-hour of our first call and took care of the problem. When we called him back to do some work on the second one, he was punctual, businesslike, and, again, got the job done! We highly recommend Northern Lights Skylights...Ron KNOWS skylights!

He came to the house to give us an estimate. His estimate was in line with other estimates we had received. We chose him because of the reviews on his website and other sites that I checked (such as Angie's List). He scheduled the work about six weeks after the estimate and showed up and very carefully removed the old skylights and installed the new ones. I'd say it took him around four hours to to the job, but we have very steep roof and difficult access.
Description of Work: He replaced two skylights in a very steep roof. The job was very difficult , but he did the work professionally and the skylights have never been better. Northern Lights Skylights is a one man operation, so he might be booked when you call, but be patient,. He did a great job installing two skylights. Highly recommended.
