We feel we were scammed. We knew our skylight was leaking from the marks on the ceiling so we purchased this "deal" to have it inspected, maintained and repaired. The company sent a rep out to our home, he went on the roof, took photos of our skylights, came down and told us various ways we could test to see where the leak was coming from. He then said we could pay him $300 to caulk it if thats what we wanted, so I explained thats what we paid the $99 for. He had no idea what I was talking about so I had to show him the "deal". Thats when he said "Caulking can't be done in this weather" So we asked him why he came and he said "to educate you on skylights". It has been pointed out to me by Angies list that this company does indeed give FREE estimates. We feel we ONLY received a free "verbal" estimate and yet we paid $99.00 We want our money back from this company since we were provided NO services.
Description of Work: The provider sent a representative to our home because we purchased a "deal" on Angies list to inspect, maintain and repair a skylight for $99.00. He went on our roof and took photos on his phone of our two skylights. He came down from the roof and explained that, yes, our one skylight was leaking as we told him. He advised us to replace it. He did no work at all. He inspected, took photos and talked, that's it.

Response from SOLAR LIGHTING OF VIRGINIA
Kevin arrived at the customer's home and inspected the skylight. The skylight in question had been leaking for some time and was an old skylight that is no longer in production. It was obvious from the inspection that the skylight had been caulked many times previously. It was also obvious from the inspection, that the frame of the skylight (or curb) was rotten due to extensive water intrusion over an extended period of time. It was Kevin's professional opinion that there was nothing that he could do to stop further water intrusion for the reasons stated above. The only option available to the customer to stop the leak is to replace the skylight. We have been exclusively in the skylight maintenance, repair, and installation business since 1998 and our findings are based on almost 20 years experience in this field.

The skylight failed because of the failure of components that controlled the ability to open and close window. it. As stated above, the factory rapidly sent repair components to our home. A technician was sent to install them and the system was restored to operation. All of this work was done at absolutely no cost to us because the skylight was under warranty.
Description of Work: Our system stopped working because all remote control signals had no effect on the system. The contractor attempted to isolate the problem but could not isolate the cause and called the factory for assistance. The factory mailed the replacement parts to our home, After the parts were received, they were installed and full operation was restored.

Provider was flexible about scheduling around installation date to avoid having a hole in the roof on a rainy or extremely cold day. Installation was quick and professional, and of good quality. Carpenter/installer was very helpful in advising about the best location to place the light. Love the diffuse light the light tunnel provides.

We needed more ventilation in our master bathroom and a skylight that offered the ability to easily open and close was the answer to that requirement. The salesman arrived as scheduled, and after listening to our requirements and looking at the existing skylights, presented options that led us to our final selection. We were impressed with the quality of his products and were also impressed with a list of commercial customers that selected his products and services in the past. The installers arrived on time and proceeded to remove the old skylight in the master bathroom. This part of the job was all done from the exterior of the house in about one and a half hours. Next they installed the new skylight and provided excellent interior trim work in about two and a half hours. The completed job was very professional. They then explained how to control the device with the remote and also explained various other features of the system. Next they removed two old skylights in the TV room and installed two standard replacement skylights. This portion of the job was completed in a little over an hour. We are extremely happy with the finished installations that were provided as promised with little effort on our part.
Description of Work: Installed a top-of-the-line skylight in the master bathroom that opens and closes using a remote control. They also Installed two smaller skylights in a TV room on the north side of the house. Best of all, we were given a price for these installations that were was at least 40% less than estimates from two other vendors.

Description of Work: Installed 2 14inch sun tunnel sky lights. My original install date had to be reschedule due to back log in their work due to weather. Unfortunately they did not get in touch with me until the date of the original install. I had to arrange a day off work for the original install day so finding our the day of was inconvenient. On the day of the rescheduled install, the technician Kevin was delayed two hours after the scheduled time. Once Kevin got to my residence the install went great and Kevin was very professional. He cleaned up after the work was done and put up with my dog constantly checking up on him.

It went perfectly. The guys were professional, courteous and knowledgeable. They completed the job in one day. They offered their assistance when I open the pool and said to call them whenever I had questions about anything concerning the panels or the water system. I definitely refer them to anyone who is considering solar panels for heating a pool or for electricity.

Entire process was smooth, professional, timely beginning with the estimate all the way through completion of the work. The one critique is that the workman did a poor job of cleaning scraps up from the yard once the work was completed, which was actually significant as it was large and small pieces of metal, nails, and shingle fragments all around the area where pets and children play. We recommend that clean-up be specifically mentioned as a priority when getting an estimate and, with that in mind, we would definitely use this company again.

The experience was an A, and I would highly recommend the company to anyone needing this type of work
Description of Work: We were replacing an old skylight in our bathroom. The experience was exceptionally easy from the estimate to the installation. The person giving the estimate was on time as well as the installer several weeks later. We can already tell a difference in the temperature of the room, which is on the north side of the house.

We saw the solar powered attics fans at a recent home show and asked Solar Lighting of VA to give us an estimate. It took a few weeks to get the estimate but the saleman, Jimmy, did a quality job on the estimate. He provided good and logical advice for the products they have and how/where they would install them. It was a zero pressure sales pitch and I think Jimmy was surprised when I said 'When get we get the installation scheduled'. It took two weeks to get a date we could both make work out. The installer arrived early (a postive) and did try to call first. Installation was pretty fast for the remove and replace old fan, a bit more involved for removing the static vent and enlarge the hole to install the second fan. The order could have been written up a bit clearer on how to install the second fan, he was surprised when I said to replace the static vent. It all took about two hours. I can tell the difference in the rooms below where the fans are now pulling out hot air!
Description of Work: We had two solar-powered attic fans installed, for which there is no Angie's List category.

This was a great experience from start to finish. The salesman came to my home and made sure all of my questions were answered. The technician told me what he was doing each step of the way and was very patient in helping me decide the exact best placement for each tube to get the maximum benefit. The job took less than the estimated time. The technician cleaned up everything as he went and removed all of the trash, too.
Description of Work: I had 4 solar tubes installed in various locations in my home.
