SUN TUNNEL SKYLIGHT INSTALLATION
Adding a skylight or sun tunnel to a dark room is a great way to bring in natural light and dramatically transform a room.
Let John McLellan Contracting Brighten up Your Dark Rooms with sun tunnel skylight installation
Whether you want skylight installation or sun tunnels on your pitched or flat roof, John McLellan Contracting has you covered. Our expertise and specialized know-how enable us to ensure flawless installation every time. We have won over our customers by delivering exceptional results and bringing the outdoor natural light inside.
A RANGE OF WORLD CLASS PRODUCTS
We install Velux skylights, opening roof windows, and sun tunnels. If you have a smart home, our team can add skylights that can be connected and controlled remotely. We also install dome skylights in dark, gloomy rooms of commercial buildings to instantly improve their mood. Our skylights with light filtering or room darkening power blinds can block out the hot sun when needed and help save energy.
OUR EXPERTISE SETS US APART
We cut-in new skylights, but we never cut corners to compromise our quality of workmanship. John McLellan Contracting is a Velux certified installer. We stand behind our work and offer five-year workmanship warranties on skylight and sun tunnel installations. Our VIP Plus certified installation experts regularly recertify to maintain their qualifications.
We are one of the few Velux certified installers who cut in and install new skylights and frames, as well as insulate attics after installation. We recommend that you have your old skylight replaced with your roof, as it typically costs less to replace both together. Plus, we can help you choose the right skylight that complements our GAF Leak Proof roof system.
LONG-TERM VALUE
Many homeowners select contractors with unrealistically low quotes which can be a costly mistake. Unqualified contractors may lack the skills and expertise to deliver quality work, leading to installation mistakes that can cause water damage. Our licensed and trained professionals plan every installation down to the last detail, preventing costly mistakes.
Before installing a skylight, we prep the area using drop sheets, plastic sheets on the inside, and tarps to keep mess to a minimum.
WE HELP OUR CUSTOMERS REDUCE PROJECT COSTS
Thanks to our 4,000 square foot warehouse and strong buying power, we can secure bulk ordering prices for materials like cases of caulking, and skids of metal and insulation. This allows us to be more competitive and offer volume discounts if you're planning multiple projects. Additionally, we stock common skylight sizes in our warehouse, so we may have what you need without waiting for stock to arrive.
