We couldn't be happier with the brighter light that we now have in our kitchen. The fact that it's a quality energy efficient skylight makes it all the better. Chris did the install. So far no problems. We haven't had a good rain yet, but I don't expect to see any leaking issues. If you are looking to install or replace a skylight, please give Chris a call for a professional job. You'll be glad you did.
Description of Work: We wanted our old skylight upgraded to an energy efficient Velux skylight.

Chris was professional and friendly. The skylights were exactly the low profile design just as we had discussed during our initial meeting. I really did appreciate not only Chris's attention to detail but also his respect for our property during the installation of the skylights. I would not hesitate to recommend Southwest Skylights to my friends and neighbors and would also use them again if the need should arise.
Description of Work: Had 4 skylights replaced due to hail damage.

Chris, owner of Southwest Skylights, came promptly to inspect the damage and discuss the options for skylight replacement. He was very straight-forward in his manner, and he took time to explain options thoroughly. He did the work soon after our agreement to have him do it. He was easily reached by phone, and he welcomed having the replacement observed and teaching what each element of the work entailed. He and his helper were very congenial in their manner and did not rush the work. His way of working elicits trust.
Description of Work: Our kitchen skylight developed leaking flashing and extensive drywall damage. I wanted the skylight replaced with a hail-resistant unit, soI had a new unit installed instead of having a repair of the old unit. I also had an undamaged second skylight replaced with a hail-resistant unit.

Chris was very responsive since my first inquiry. It was easy and quick to schedule an appointment and he arrived punctually, explained my options in a very courteous and professional manner and performed the work right away. The whole process was very straight forward and took about one hour or maybe a few minutes more. Overall, I'm very satisfied with the service provided.

Chris came out last night and checked on our skylight. It was an old patio skylight with a brown tint. He recommended a flat skylight because it was made out of better material than the dome skylight. He also recommended a white skylight versus the brown because it would make our living room brighter. He came this morning and it was done by 12:00 pm. We are so thrilled! It has lightened up our living room considerably. He was very knowledgeable and professional. I would definitely recommend them to fix or install a skylight.
Description of Work: We had a crack in our skylight due to all the storms.

Arrived promptly. Took necessary measurements. Worked seamlessly with the contractor who was building the studio. Ordered the skylight and solar powered shade and notified me when it was in. He then interfaced directly with the contractor. The installation was done with the same day. He then did the tutorial for operation and explained the energy credits applicable to our design. I enjoyed working with Chris and highly recommend him and Southwest Skylights without reservation. Most of all, I guarantee you will love the happy room the natural light produces. Thank you Chris and Southwest Skylights M. Anderson
Description of Work: Chris from Southwest Skylights came out and assessed the value of installation of a skylight in a newly installed studio. He explained the options from least expensive to most. He was very honest, professional and knowledgable. At first , I thought it was more than my budget would allow but ultimately "saw the light" and made the decision to go forward with the installation. We chose a skylight with a solar powered shade which is amazing. I highly recommend Chris and Southwest Skylights. A class act.

I needed a new skylight that would diffuse the light coming into my kitchen. Chris explained the type of skylight that I currently had -- and what he would replace it with -- Velux Skylight. He came when he said that he would to give me an estimate, and was actually able to do the work sooner than he estimated. I was very pleased.

Chis came out and arrived when they said they would. He spent time looking over our skylights to determine the cause of the leaks and informed us that the problem was not with our skylights, but with our roof. He answered all of our questions and was very knowledgeable. We wanted to pay him for his time and he informed us there was no charge. Chris was a true professional and I recommend Southwest Skylights for anyone needing skylight repair and installation. Thank you Chris!

I was calling around for skylight quotes & Chris was extremely knowledgeable. He spent about 15min with me on the phone assessing my situation only to end up referring me to another business to perform the work. I would absolutely recommend this business for his patience, honesty & knowledge.

It went extremely well. I am more than satisfied with the service provided by Southwest Skylights. We discussed my service request in depth. A date was set and Chris, with one assistant showed up as scheduled. Work was done and completed in a very timely manner. The work area was cleaned and left with the new tubes in place. In addition, Chris noticed that my roof had a sloppy repair, asked me if I had any shingles; and if so he would repair it to meet both functional and esthetic standards. No charge! I got shingles and Chris did the repair! That's taking care of your customer!! I love my bright bathrooms so thank you Chris and Southwest Skylights.
Description of Work: Contacted Southwest Skylights and owner Chris about having light tubes (or solar tubes) installed in 2 interior bathrooms. I had researched having light tubes installed for an extended period of time; spoken with numerous contractors; and was not happy with either their prices or sometimes their attitudes. Southwest Skylights knew what I wanted, had the price and seemed pleased to get my business. Two light tubes were installed and 2 dim bathrooms given light.

He was prompt to call me back from my first message, a little late to the appointment but called me right back, and considering every skylight in Coppell was busted I knew he was super busy and I really did not mind. He also had two appointments after mine and it was like 4 or 5 on Friday when he finished my house. He was super knowledgeable and worked fast. So far it isn't leaking lol 6-28-12 I had my roof done today. The roofer was thinking the Velux flashing kit I bought wouldn't work b/c the size of the new skylight Chris put in was a bit different than the one it replaced. Well, I called Chris, and although it was quite lucky, Chris was heading my way anyway for some other jobs (because people are smartly hiring him), he talked to the roofer on the phone to get them started while he was on the way, and came to my house to climb up on the roof with the roofers and make sure my Velux was installed completely correctly along with my new roof. He did not have to do that. He did not charge. This was already late in the day and he made time for the unexpected stop. He makes sure it is done right and does not leaving you hanging. If you want a skylight, hire this guy.
Description of Work: Replaced skylight busted by hail 4-3-12. It was one of those plastic ones with the bronze dome and clear underneath. I got a Velux regular flat one even though I was really tempted by that bad boy you can actually open. It is now super bright in this bathroom. The glass has this frosted finish so a lot of light gets through but it is really still private so squirrels can't see you doing your business ;) Now when the sun shines in it doesn't get nearly as hot, which will be even more appreciated as we get into actual summer.

Call Chris and keep calling him. He is worth the wait assuming your skylight is not broke. If it is broke I would assume he would shuffle his schedule to take care of you; that is the type of person he is. Once we were on his schedule he promptly quoted the job, scheduled the job, and completed the job.
Description of Work: Replace plastic bubble skylight with a high quality Velux skylight. This is the same product available through Home Depot, which we had come out and quote as well, and he did it for literally half the price.

I contacted Chris to get an estimate on replacing my skylight in my bathroom. The same day he went to my house and called me with an estimate. After speaking with him I decide to hire him site unseen. There was a little confusion on the start date but everything worked out as planned. When he arrived, he took time to show me what he was installing, explained the product and the warranty and answered all my questions. He worked very fast and efficiently. Although we have not had a rain to test for leaks, I am confident that it will not leak and if it did, I am also confident that he will fix the problem immediately. I would recommend Chris for any of your skylight needs. He knows what he is doing.

Chris was very prompt in responding to my initial email. He met me at our house on a Monday, measured the correct size and gave me a quote. We agreed on installing Wednesday of that same week. Chris was on time and had all the proper equipement and parts. He even temporarily covered the opening while he corrected the frame size on our house to avoid any dirt or pieces falling into the house. Chris obviously is a pro at installing these, finished quickly and cleaned. I received a detailed receipt and warranty information. Chris's company provides an installation guarantee in addition to the mfg. warranty on the skylight. Great to know if there is a problem later. It was great to deal with an owner that does the work himself and is very focused on quality work. I would gladly have Chris perform more work in the future.
Description of Work: Chris provided examples and recommendations on replacing a bathroom skylight. He removed the old skylight and disposed of it rather than leaving for me to deal with. I hadn't thought to ask him to do that, he just does it as a part of his service. He installed our new skylight by correcting the opening size on our house to make sure of a good seal. That included installing weather seal in addition to the standard gaskets. Everything was cleaned up and very well done.

Everything went smoothly. Chris picked up the new skylight with me. Set up his operation in my back yard, removed old skylight, prepared the area so as to minimize debris getting into the house, assembled new skylight including the venetian blinds, installed new skylight. Was efficient, he did not waste time.

Chris came out to do measurements on our skylight while we were at work. We discussed options on the phone and he gave us a quote on what a standard skylight would cost to replace. He gave us great suggestions on going with a frosted, low E glass. We had viewed pictures of Velux skylights online so were informed on what we wanted as well. It was about a week later he came out and replaced our skylight one afternoon. He was punctual and did the replacement quickly. It rained a few days later which was a good thing and no leaks whatsover. We couldn't be happier with our new skylight.
Description of Work: They replaced a large skylight in our home, size was 48" x 48".

Ideal, Chris was very professional, caring and a craftsman. Found Southwest Skylights on Angie's, he was accommodated our schedule and brought the various alternatives to both replace what we had and at our request the upgrades available. He demonstrated patience and understanding answering our questions discussing the pluses & minuses of each. We chose to upgrade which he had to order. After a week for the skylights to be built by the manufacturer, he installed promptly & showed excellant care and attention to detail. Just an excellant experience.
Description of Work: Provided & installed 3 skylights (2 broken by hail).
