Description of Work: Solatube installed a skylight in out master bathroom a number of years ago. It was a dark room previously, had to turn the light on regardless of the time of day. Now with the skylight we can use the room without always turning the lights on during daytime hours. Love it.

Description of Work: We had two solatubes put in our kitchen almost two years ago and have been really happy with them, so I wanted to buy one for our daughter's new house, as the upstairs hallway was so dark. They did have to reschedule due to an emergency with the installer, ( life happens....we understand! ) but came out promptly when rescheduled. The work was done quickly, efficiently, and no mess was left. The installer informed our daughter of some issues in her attic that she wasn't aware of, and she was able to take care of those shortly afterwards.....we are so happy he told her about the problem. We have all been thrilled with the results...it totally brightened up their upstairs!

Response from Solatube Brighter Concepts Ltd
Hi [Member Name Removed], I just came across your review and because I care, I wanted to learn more about just what was going on, I looked you up both on our database and Google calendar. Besides for a phone call asking about your fan in 05/06/05, I have no record of anything which brings up many questions. 1. Are you just now reviewing your 04/07/97 and 08/23/97 installations? This is when they where installed. 2. You stated your install was 01/01/12?? We have never worked on New Years day and didn't work at your home that day. Where did this date come from (a hang over??) 3. In 1997, I was your installer on both days. You stated I was late?? Which day? One of the things that we try to do is be as punctual as possible (always giving a 2 hour frame to our target time). I apologize for being late 15 years ago!! As far as my workmanship goes, yes I do work fast which may have appeared I was hurrying? Did you experience a workmanship issue?? 4. We have no record of you reporting you fan didn't work within the first few weeks. 5. We do have record that we installed a bath fan in your kitchen? We have never recommended this application and warn homeowners that this fan is NOT designed for a kitchen (it has no filter) but some homeowners say that they will take the chance, so we install it for them following our warning. 5. In 2005 you called about your fan not working. At this time your 3 year warranty had expired (in 2000) and the manufacturer, Solatube International had redesigned the fan. The fan could and still can be retro-fitted. We do charge for the new one fans and labor. (It appears that this didn't work for you because you didn't agree to have the work done?) 6.) Your report says you had 8 Solatubes installed for $1600. This has a error. I very much hope you can answer all my questions because everything about your review is very fishy, to say the least. The owner

Description of Work: installed 3 solatube skylights. It was actually a while ago. Don't really remember exactly when, but we love them. My husband was concerned that they might leak but they have not and brighten up our rooms, especially on a sunny day. They were very responsive and professional.

Description of Work: We had 8 solatubes installed in our home in the summer of 1997. We couldn't have been more pleased with the service, the results, or the product. We have had no problem with them. We had one service call to clean the bugs out of the glass a few years after the installation. Again, we had prompt service and at a most reasonable charge. They are a wonderful addition to our home!

Description of Work: They installed three tubes and a solar attic fan. They did a fantastic job, and I would definitely hire them again. Very prompt and professional, and I absolutely love, love, love the end result. My home is so much brighter with the lovely additional light the tubes provide. I'm thinking of adding more in the future.

Description of Work: Mine was a different situation. The technician came out to install the solatubes, went on my roof and told me that he wouldn't install them because my roof was in terrible shape and needed fixing first. He went in my attic and showed me all sorts of problems I wasn't aware of. I was grateful for his honesty, even though I ended up having to put on a whole new roof! He also gave me excellent advice about where to install them and the pros and cons of each option. I had my roofer put in the solatubes instead of the company, which saved me some money, but the solatube company was very accommodating in spite of that. I did have one small leak, however, my roofer came right out and fixed it....it was his error. Since then I have had no problems. I love them! They brighten up my entire kitchen and I rarely have to use electric lights during the day...before, I couldn't even walk in to my kitchen without turning on a light. I tell everyone who comes in my home how happy I am with them. The only negative is the price....they are quite costly. I also put in a solar powered attic fan. Because it is so quiet, I never know if it's working, and that is a little bit disconcerting! A couple of times in the summer we have climbed up on the roof to listen and make sure it is working! So far, so good. That too, was quite pricey. I'm not sure we will get our money's worth out of it, but we love solar powered devices, so whatever energy we save, we are happy.
