We also used the The Solar Guys. The company was great in all respects. LOVE the additional light! A solar tube does create a hole in your roof, however, that's why you should make sure to hire an experienced company who knows how to install a tube that is leak-free, by sealing the opening to keep out rain and moisture. Our two tubes were installed prior to hurricane Irma last year with zero leaks occurring subsequently. There are many holes made in your roof by the builder --- bathroom fans, attic vents/turbines, etc. We have had both our bathroom fan vents (installed by the builder) re-sealed on the roof because of leaks around their bases. Obviously, there are no guarantees in life, however, all the positive reviews tend to reflect that solar tube light leaks do not appear to be an inordinate problem if the installations are done properly. Hope you enjoy your tube lights as much as we do ours.
