Dealing with Ann was a piece of cake, did all over the phone and she took the job because the local business does not install and this is NOT a job for a DIY, you really have to know what you are doing and where to cut the ceiling and the roof and I am not getting on that steep roof. Ann was willing to take the job since local guy does not install.
The product is called a Solar Tube or back in the seventies was called a skylight except this time is much smaller and they use a highly reflective material, if you look at it from the inside it looks just like a fluorescent light that is on all the time.
That corner of the kitchen where the stove sits was a little on the dark side and now we don't turn any lights on during the day when cooking. The difference is amazing.
The install was done in one morning about a month ago, no leaks so far Keith and his son did a great job. Was skeptical of the results at first but I am a happy camper now.
