Description of Work: They came out and gave me an estimate for a sun tunnel in my kitchen on the 14th of October. The next day Jake came and installed it. It took him less than two hours. He was thorough and neat. He answered all my questions. We have had loads of rain this week, and no sign of a leak. They are good folks.

Description of Work: young lady arrived on time to give bid on skylights -- reviewed difference between her product and Velux/ other products, left marketing materials. Bid was too high and was not accepted. A lot of tangential personal discussions during work visit which should have been left at door. I also asked for a referral for home improvement as we are in middle of remodelling. She provided a personal contact who never showed up after making appointment.

Description of Work: Solar Tex installed a solar powered exhaust fan in the garage attic. It was claimed that this would reduce the cost of electricity. To date we have not noticed a material change in the electric bill but the attic did feel cooler. The job was carried out efficiently and cleanly.

Excellent!
Description of Work: Had 3 skylights installed. Making the appointment and getting an estimate was so easy and quick. The installer was a little late, but called to let me know he was running late. Very professional and helpful during installation. The estimate was accurate, the service was as expected, and the results were better than expected. We will probably have one or two more installed, possibly up to 4 more.
