My wife and I recently had 5 new Velux solar powered skylights w/shades installed for our home. Lead installer, Levi, and his co-worker, Jose, did a superb job of removing the existing skylights (from 1992) and installing the new ones. The guys were really professional, on time, very helpful in answering our questions and thorough in cleanup. They programmed our remotes so we can activate opening/closing the skylights and the shades. We highly recommend Seattle Skylights for anyone considering replacing old units or thinking about adding skylights for the first time. read more

We hired Seattle Skylights / Roof Boss / Metropolitan Construction because they were listed as Velux Certified Skylight Specialists. For structural skylight cut-ins, we expected specialists who understood permits, engineering, and code compliance. This was our worst contractor experience. A job represented as 10 to 12 working days dragged from August 2025 to April 2026. It only reached completion after months of us catching problems, demanding permits and engineering documentation, stopping premature drywall scheduling, disputing improper charges, and chasing close-out documents. They performed structural work before we were provided permits or engineer-stamped documentation. Their contract said the work would be done to code. Cutting manufactured trusses for skylights requires engineering, permits, and inspection. When we raised the lack of permits over the phone, we were told we had not specifically asked for permits, and that the salesperson should not have included "to code" language in the contract. That was shocking from a company selling itself as a skylight specialist. After the original install, we inspected the attic ourselves and found cut truss members that appeared to be hanging or not properly attached, no visible hangers, large gaps, odd scrap-like framing, and no clear reinforcement. We had to demand permit paperwork, an inspection path, and engineer documentation that should have existed before work began. The insulation was wrong initially. The contract referenced R-40 insulation, but they first installed rough R-13 insulation that looked temporary and poorly fitted. We only got that corrected after pushing back. Even after engineer-stamped details were produced, their crew came back and still did not follow them. We found wrong hardware, missing vertical members, inconsistent fastening, hardware attached on only one face in some locations, and fasteners that did not match the engineered requirements. We warned months earlier that the screws were wrong and would not pass inspection. They denied there was a problem, then later had to send an installer back after inspection required correction. They tried to schedule drywall before structural and permit issues were resolved. We had to stop that from happening. They framed the permit delay as "King County takes time," but the inspector told us this timeline was not normal and only took this long because the contractor had not followed code and had to get the permit after the fact. Communication was terrible. Once issues started, the owner became verbally aggressive with my spouse on the phone, so we required communication in writing. Even then, they often did not respond until we escalated. Later he told us that if we had timeline concerns, we should "contact the county and threaten them." The office and field crews seemed disconnected. Installers did not understand the insulation requirements, structural work did not match the engineer's details, and later the drywall crew showed up without understanding the full scope. Jobsite management was awful. After one installer was injured, they left Ram Board with blood on it inside our home and did not notify us. We asked them to clean it up and they refused, so we removed it ourselves because we have pets. Later, their crew was visibly annoyed. They also tried to rely on thin painter's tarp where we had asked for proper floor protection. They left a Honey Bucket in our yard for months and appeared to forget about it until we reminded them near final payment. Their final invoice included charges for things they did not do, including interior scaffolding even though no scaffolding was used. Even after closing out the balance, they never responded to requests for the lien waiver/release discussed at the beginning and referenced in the contract. Completion does not redeem the experience. I would never hire this company again or recommend them for skylight cut-ins. A certified skylight specialist should not require months of homeowner pressure to complete a code-compliant job. read more

Needing to purchase skylights I knew I wanted the VLUX brand, so naturally I searched for companies who deal with VLUX in the Seattle area. Seattle Skylights came up and I had the pleasure of working with Gwen Hopper on my order. This has been one of the ore pleasant, hassle-free, pressure-free experiences! She was super communicative and patient with my timelines (which were a bit hectic). Please have the confidence in working with this group - you'll get amazing service and competitive pricing. Thank you Gwen! read more

Good company and kind staff! Especially loved that they tarped around the skylight opening when installing it so the dust/debris wouldn't get all over the house read more

I hired Seattle Skylights for what at first was just to replace a leaking skylight. When work commenced, it was apparent that much more extensive work would have to be done, to replace the water damaged section of the roof. Gwen was very sympathetic to my needs and thankfully they were able to fit me in right away. Manuel and his team worked efficiently and thoroughly. Great company that I highly recommend!! read more

Going with Velux and Seattle Skylights for the install was a wise choice to replace our 25 year old Skylights. The fit, function and and installation went without fail including the Velux retractable Solar powered blinds. We would highly recommend the both the Velux Skylights and the installation team of Seattle Skylights. read more

Seattle Skylights were GREAT - they are certified by Velux, which means that the work they do falls under the Velux warranty, which is a super important place to start when you're getting skylights installed. They promptly sent someone out to give us an estimate, who gave a very fair assessment of the work, laid out our options, and gave us information about to help us compare the various options without pushing us to spend more or pick more expensive options. In the end, their bid was also the cheapest bid compared to 3 other companies, by a considerable amount, for the exact same windows and installation. They were professional and responsive when I had questions (I had a LOT of questions before being willing to drop a bunch of money on skylights), and were very respectful of a deadline that I had to get the work done by. They were very fair, explaining that skylights are installed in the order that projects are signed, while still working with me to meet the deadline. On installation day, they checked in a few times about arrival time, cleanup at the end of the day, and expectations for the next day (it was a 2-day project). They did a fantastic job cleaning up after the project, and the windows are beautiful. I would ABSOLUTELY recommend them, without reservation. read more

Seattle Skylights just replaced two old and cracked skylights with two beautiful new ones. The price was excellent, the service was outstanding and the staff I worked with were very patient with my endless questions. I especially appreciate their patience with the fact I am in a condo and so the paperwork was far more complicated than expected. Thank you Jasmine, Clint and Peter! You were wonderful. read more
