Received a quote from The Solar Guys.

Looking for recommendations to obtain 2nd quote. Who has completed an installation for you who satisfied your cost and work ethic expectations?

Thanks....

Artificial skylights add controllable lighting, simulate daylight, can be installed anywhere and avoid the roof penetration.

Besides price, check the quality of the "other guys". We bought a 10 year-old existing home with 4 solar tubes installed. Three were installed by the Solar Guys and one by someone else. The "other one" had a badly discolored roof dome and, we thought, an inferior ceiling lens. We replaced it using the Solar Guys when we reroofed.

I agree with the previous comment about using an electrical light in place of the solar tube. There are several advantages (IMHO), much lower cost, light on cloudy days or at night, no roof penetration, and no bugs, yes, I have seen bugs inside solar tubes.

The best company for you to do your Solar Tubes is The Solar Guys. Replaced old cracked tubes for us and did an excellent job. Neat and professional job. Would only use this company. Good price too.

I would highly recommend Solar Guys also. They’ve installed solar tubes in two houses and I’ve not had any issuesz
