The Guild Collective - San Antonio

Lawton was very courteous and professional. He explained exactly how the solar fans work and didn't leave until all questions were answered. Time will tell if the fans make a difference but they are already pulling out a huge amount of hot air.

Back in 2013 we installed two 14 inch Sola Tubes in the living room. Before dark and cave like during the daylight hours even with the blinds open. Dramatic change with the tubes. Now we have a bright living room and just could not be happier with the results. May 2014 had two of the larger attic fans installed. Prior we just had two turtle dome passive vents. I have not been back up in the attic since the install but I am sure things are much better. Very dependable company. Arrived on time. Very professional and cleaned up after themselves. If you are looking for a relatively cheap way to brighten your Cave, then you probably want to look into this Company. I will give them 2 thumbs up!

The salesman in their office was very informative. We assumed we should install two units. He suggested the installer to determine if we should install one or two. When he arrived, he agreed two would be better light in the room. He installed both of them in August on a very hot day. He spent a great deal of time in our attic with no complaints. Installation went great and have enjoyed natural light in our living room from sun up to sun down. The tubes do through great light even on cloudy days.

We have 2 friends who have Solalites in their homes and were impressed with the amount of light they give to a space. My husband and I decided to have a large Solalite (with light kit) installed in our kitchen which we love so munch we had them come out again and install another 2 Solalites. One in our laundry room and the second in a bathroom. The following week we had a new roof put on our home and the owner of the roofing company commentated that the Solalites were "nice". We are very pleased with the company, installer Gary and the Solalites! Thank You! Highly Recommended!!!

They were very good, they were a higher quality than some of my neighbors had gotten from someone else. I decided to go to their showroom, and they had a completely dark room with no windows, and no doors, and they walked in, and they opened solar lights, and I could see it was much better than my neighbors. They came out and gave us estimates, and they had different designs.

We had talked with office staff over 1 1/2 years ago, but other needs had priority before the installation of the solatubes we had seen at friend's home. We felt the pricing was fair, the work professional, and the product excellent! Will recommend to neighbors and friends!

Went good. Made appointment on phone and guy came out next morning. I had a $60 off from mail flyer. Guy installed it fast. He was neat, clean, nice, professional. And this thing puts out quite a bit of light during the day. Installed it in a stairway and provides great light. Then at night it automatically comes on and uses 4 LEDs to provide light at night. I would say the LEDs provide about 100 to 150 watts of incandescent light equivalent.

We live 30 miles north of town in Spring Branch. The day after I called Sola Tube, Gary came by and gave us an estimate. (The estimate cost $60.) In less than a week, all of our Sola Tubes' flashings were replaced. Gary was efficient, friendly, and unobtrusive. I rank Sola Tubes as an A+.

The company did an excellent job! My initial contact with the owner was very informative. He provided great information regarding how to best ventilate my complicated attic and suggested both intake (bring in fresh air) and exhaust vents to evacuate air from the attic. He also suggested we use thermo switches so the units would work only when the temperature reached a specified temperature. Installation of the vent fans and accompanying solar panels was flawless and very neat. Gary, the installation technician was very polite and efficient. Once the work was completed, Gary cleaned up the work areas very well. Since we are now moving into winter, I can't tell just how this installation will effect my overall cooling costs but I am extremely pleased with the overall process. On a few warm days the units have run and are so quiet that I had to go to the attic to actually check that they were in fact operating.

Our installer, Gary, was very responsive to my questions and gave me a firm quote after looking in the attic to determine placement, etc. of the Solatube. Our entry hallway is long (19 1/2 feet) and was very dark requiring us to turn on the lights even in the daytime before answering the door or even going outside through the front door. We thought about replacing the solid front door with one with glass but that would have cost us 2 to 4 times as much as installing the Solatube and we still wouldn't have gotten as much light. Also, we like a solid door for privacy and didn't really want one with a glass panel. After Gary installed the 10-inch basic Solatube it literally was a difference between night and day! Daylight now floods our hallway and my husband and I couldn't be more pleased! We hope to have one put in our master bath (no window) and in a large butler's pantry area (no window) between the kitchen and dining areas in the future.

John was very pleasant and professional. He explained in detail the procedure of installation. Also helpful in making suggestions on placement of Solatubes. Our utility room was extremely dark with only moderate light when the overhead light was turned. We were constantly flipping on the light switch when going in and out of the garage and of course doing daily laundry. The bathroom closet was another dark area. Lighting was also dim. We were amazed at the difference the Solatubes made in our home. We keep laughing whenever we walk out of one of these rooms, telling each other "don't forget to turn off the light!". This was one of the best home improvements we have made. We are already thinking of other areas we want to add the Solatubes. You won't be sorry if you go with SOLA-LITE,

As soon as we moved to San Antonio in 2009 we called Sola-Lite to install attic fans and a sola-tube in a dark, upstairs bathroom. In 2009, Gary came out and was courteous, professional and very knowledgeable about the products. That visit went seamlessly and we were very happy with the fans, skylight , and service we received. Plus, our energy bills did decrease! In May of 2013 we noticed one of the attic fans was not functioning. I called Sola-Lite and the receptionist was super welcoming and helpful; she got me scheduled for the very next day. Jon came out spot-on time and was friendly and competent. He replaced the non-working fan from the outside in less than 1/2 hour and confirmed that the new fan was working properly. There was no charge because the fan was still under the 5 year warranty. Easy-Peasy!

I have always wanted a skylight and after speaking with Sola-Lite at recent home show, I made an appointment to have my bathroom light and fan replaced with a small daylight . Installer arrived promptly and was very patient with me and my many questions. After much discussion and reviewing of all options, I actually went with a larger diameter and different placement of Sola-Lite. I am amazed at how much light these units let in. You do not have to have the lights on even after the sun goes down. I couldn't be happier and just wish I hadn't waited so long. I am planning on having more installed.

I had heard about solatubes on a home improvement radio show so I looked into them and decided they would be the perfect solution to my dark bathrooms. I've always wanted natural lighting in the baths. I checked out the various brands online and then went to Angie's list to check out Sola-Lite. When I called to set up an appointment the woman I spoke with was very pleasant and knowledgeable. She helped me select the size of the tubes and answered my questions about a dimmer switch and gave me prices. The installer called me on the appointment day to ask if he could come early because the job site for an install before before mine wasn't ready yet. When he arrived he got up onto the roof and then into the attic to make sure there were no obstacles and to check placement options. I agreed to the price and his recommendations so he got to work. He was very professional and courteous. He did a wonderful job, cleaned up any mess and I am thrilled that I now have natural lighting in my baths.

We have been considering getting Solatubes in our home for several years. Talked to the Sola-Lite representative (Gary) at the recent San Antonio Home & Garden Show, and arranged to have a representative provide us recommendations for location(s) and sizes of Solatube(s) for our house. The representative who we talked to at the show, Gary, was also the Sola-Lite representative/installer who provided us expert recommendations on where we would best benefit from Solatubes, given our objective our increasing the lighting in our family room and kitchen areas. Gary installed the family room Solatube on March 4th, and returned the following Monday to install the kitchen area Solatube. In both instances he was very punctual, professional, and completed each installation in a bit less than 2 hours. The Solatubes work fantastically in providing natural light to both areas, so much so that we haven't had to turn on any electric lights during the daytime in either location since the Solatubes were installed. Gary was meticulous in cleaning the work area following the installations, and used large sheets to protect the floor and kitchen sink area from debris during the respective installations.

Solalite team did an incredible job, utilities went down because the attic isn't heating up, they were clean, proffessional and I highly recommend them. I have had them come and do my mothers home as well. They take care of everything, so there aren't any don'ts that I can think of. As for DO's...just enjoy...Oh- Don't freak out when the tube is connected and the amount of light comes in is vast, the diffuser spreads the light to all areas...

The whole process went very smoothly, from the initial contact, to the installation. We are very satisfied with the end result. We would recommend this company for anyone needing this type of product.

The installer was polite and professional. He arrived on time and completed the work in just over three hours, in spite of some small structural challenges. I've had Solatube skylights in the past, and found them to be an excellent ,energy efficient way to illuminate dark spaces. Sola-Lite company was a pleasure to work with. The bid was accurate. The work was explained in detail, and the result is a lovely bright space.

They were VERY friendly on the phone. They were knowledgeable, including details about the tax-rebate information. I was scheduled punctually and the employee came out with some information. No high-pressure sales techniques at all. He looked around in the attic and recommended 2 solar-vents, since I have a pretty big attic. Since I didn't have the $1300 or so to spend, he said that installing one now would help, and I could consider adding another later. Nice that he didn't push the second one. He gave me all the info I needed for the tax rebate, and within about 45 minutes the solar fan was installed. He was neat, cleaned up well, and the thing seems to be functioning well. It's hard to tell if there is definitely a difference, but the fan definitely spins like mad during the daytime, so I guess it probably does help. I was very happy with the service.

They were responsive by both phone and internet as I inquired on the internet and then just decided to call. Although I cringed at the price I can tell you first hand it is a very fair price after installing a 10" tubular skylight on my own. We had two 14" skylights installed . He was done with both lights and clean up in about than 3 hours (keep in mind my install may be different than yours). Moreover, the installer was the quintessential example of an Angie's List provider as he was very nice, courteous, punctual and a hard worker. Thank you for a great job and a very seamless project!

I left two messags and after no return calls - elected to go with another Angies List company.

The installers are very quick and efficient. Takes almost no time to install. Gary, who installed our skylights, is really pleasant to work with, and Jeremy, the owner, is very accessible and accommodating. I have wanted a skylight for many years my upstairs hallway bathroom, and it really lightens up the space. One thing you become aware of after you install a skylight is how much the light varies throughout the day. The light is prettiest in bright sun and the amount of bright light you get will depend on where your skylight is in relation to the sun and your roof line, as well as the weather, of course. I had a 10" skylight installed over our bathroom counter. When the sun is bright, the skylight shines beautifully on our counter top, and now i can even grow a plant in what used to be a very dark bathroom. One thing I often do (even a couple of months after installation) is to reach into the bathroom to turn off the lights as I walk by, only to notice they aren't on. Sola Lite had earlier installed 2 skylights in another house we own. They lightened up the dark hallway and interior bath and made the house much more cheerful.

Overall, it went well. The installer was courteous and did not waste any time unnecessarily,but took the time to figure out exactly the correct placement where the light would enter the rooms for the best benefit. We don't know if, at that time there were other designs other than what we got. If so, we might have preferred something other than round shape. There has been no problem as far as leaking or anything else so far. The only negative thing was that when he sat on sofa to process credit card, he got greasy black spots along bottom edge of sofa coming from the back of his slacks. We didn't see it until later, but weren't too upset because we were going to replace sofa anyway. Otherwise, we would have called and gotten Sola-Lite to clean it. The other thing is that although we had a coupon, later on at end of November there were coupons from this company for much greater discount. If we'd known, we would have waited.

I previously used their services two years ago, but recently called them back becuase there was some water in my tubes. They came out the same day within three hours. They looked it over and didn't find any cracks. They cleaned it up and made sure the other one was fine. They did advise that I may have a roof leak. I have been happy with their services.

The salesman at the Sola-lite showroom did excellent work in helping us make our initial decision and following up with the actual installation. I visited the showroom at noon and by 3 p.m. the same day, two very professional installers had arrived at my home to put in the skylights! The installers carefully moved and covered my furniture, confirmed details regarding positioning, etc., and quickly and efficiently installed the skylights in about 2 1/2 hours. I was very pleased with their work and am extremely happy about the added natural light in my home.
