Skylight Installation
Professional installation of VELUX skylights ensures optimal natural light integration with roof structures. Our certified technicians use precision mounting systems to prevent leaks while maximizing daylight capture. Each installation includes comprehensive waterproofing and insulation checks to maintain energy efficiency.
Sun Tunnel Systems
Our sun tunnel installations channel daylight into windowless spaces through reflective tubing systems. We optimize placement for maximum light transmission while maintaining roof integrity. The compact design works in tight spaces like hallways and bathrooms without structural modifications.

Custom daylighting plans address specific home lighting challenges through strategic skylight placement. We analyze room dimensions and roof angles to determine optimal light capture points. Our solutions reduce electricity costs while improving interior ambiance through natural spectrum lighting.

In 2015 Light Benders installed a wonderful Solatube in our guest bathroom. Before it was pretty dark, now, even on a cloudy day we have light! Excellent job and easy to work with. We are most pleased.

Needed a new exhaust fan installed in my bathroom. They installed the fan and then told me that they could not wire it in. I spent $533 for the fan + install and another $233 for 15 minutes of an electricians work. They never informed me that one of the two workers was not an electrician . Very dissatisfied.

I wanted to wait a couple of months after installation of 3 solatubes and 1 solar attic fan before I posted a review so that I could see how they worked on sunny or cloudy days. I had the solatubes with night lights installed in the kitchen, entry way and my windowless laundry room. I have never had to turn on the light since in my laundry room since the installation. No more not being able to see when heading thru the laundry room to the garage! I do not hear the attic fan at all. They were on time, cleaned up their mess (even asked to go into the backyard as some debri blew off the roof during

The installers were a couple of cool cats. Professional, efficient, and knowledgeable. They made sure to communicate with me what they were doing throughout the whole install. They took the time to properly locate and mark where the installation locations would be in my house (single family, ranch-style, 1 story). Be patient when contacting the office during the peak roofing season (Spring-Summer), they can forget to email you back, or forget to call back if you leave a message. When I did get an appointment to discuss products, Lora was excellent. She was knowledgeable and made excellent

I made an appointment on the online consultation request form. This was confirmed. I took time off work to make sure I was home. No one showed up. I called and the lady who answered the phone told me that the online appointment calendar is not followed and there was no appointment for me and they were planning to take it off their website! I am appalled by this complete disregard for my time. I was planning on using Solatube because of the product reviews, however now I plan to look at other products because the customer service can only be better than this!
