  • Dan Sowa
    We hired Houseworks to install a new skylight in our townhouse stairway. They were excellent from start to finish. They recommended a larger skylight (for small additional cost) than what we were looking for, which worked out great. They had to coordinate with our HOA-hired roofers (they were replacing the roof), which was no easy task but it was handled seamlessly. Great experience!
  • Michael Friduss
    Very responsive company. High quality work. Problem (Skylight panes weren't initially color matched) addressed promptly.
  • Thomas Mccain
    I finally decided to have my skylights replaced after 16 years. My first call was to Houseworks. From the initial call with LeAnn my experience was phenomenal. Their foreman Larry came out quickly to measure and explain everything I needed to know about the skylights. I accepted the proposal and was scheduled immediately. Their installer Tom showed up early and preped the inside to begin the job. After the job was completed you couldn't tell that we had work done because of how clean it was, Tom was awesome. I could not have asked for a more professional and knowledgeable company then Houseworks. The price was right and my experience was great. If I could give them 6 stars I would. I would definitely refer them to family and friends. Thanks for a Job well done.

    Don was an exceptional sales rep. Very knowledgeable & responsive. We called to get a quote & within a week had our skylights installed in one day. The two installers were professional.

    Housework was referred to me by family that had used them in the past for new skylights. Even though I had a small job of just replacing one existing skylight they were quick to set up an estimate visit and had installation scheduled within a week. Techs were polite, (I was able to continue virtual meetings during the install), done quickly and left my house as clean as it was prior to their visit. Highly recommend.

    Houseworks Daylighting Solutions replaced a damaged skylight in my condo unit. From start to finish, the process could not have gone more smoothly. First off, they were very prompt every step of the way, from the initial job bid all the way through to the end. Mark came out to do the initial estimate and did a superb job of explaining everything to me (even drew me a little diagram). Leann was incredibly helpful with scheduling, super apologetic when the skylight hadn’t arrived in their warehouse in time (not necessary as it wasn’t their fault, but still) and got me promptly rescheduled as soon as she could. Larry did the installation itself; super quick, super quiet, super pleasant, and left the place as clean as he found it (if not a little bit more). Mark, Leann, and Larry are all just delightful humans. And the skylight itself looks amazing! I could not be more pleased. Seriously. You want to go with Houseworks Daylighting Solutions.
  • Mike James
    Easy to work with, responsive and on-time. They worked with Velux to replace a leaking skylight in a fast and professional manner, would definitely recommend.
  • Ken Heslinga
    We recently had our skylights replaced after a roof replacement. Everyone that I had contact with from the sales representative, the office, and the installers were friendly and professional. Our new skylights and shades look great. They kept in contact. There was a minor issue on the day of the install related to our existing skylights, and before I was aware, they had a solution and plan to move forward. I would definitely recommend Houseworks.
  • Rich Doligale
    Mark Becker is a true pro , he spec'd the best skylight for the project , he is fantastic to work with. Mark (the installer ) did a perfect job installing the skylight. You are crazy to try and look elsewhere to find a skylight installer.
  • Alan M.
    We first selected Houseworks a few years ago for installation of skylights on a vaulted ceiling. Their work was so good we recently selected them again for what will be replacement of multiple skylights in our new home. Even though geographically it’s further away, after brief calls to other vendors I knew I wanted Houseworks back to tackle this larger-scale project. Mark (rep) and Larry (installation expert) are ethical and honest and have delivered superior quality and craftsmanship. We have been extremely satisfied with their recommendations and results.

    These folks are top-notch. In April there was a storm with huge hail that got us a new roof, including replacement of two skylights that were damaged. We figured when getting the new roof it would be perfect time to add a couple of skylights to another dark area of our home. Figuring all of that out was a headache when dealing with various roofers and I was getting frustrated...until I found these fine folks and once I did find them all of my skylight confusion was gone -- magically. They made the process painless took the time to explain our options and why they were best-suited for the job. This is all they do - and it shows because their work is fantastic. Back to their recommendations - they made recommendations that were not even on my radar (hello tax credit and holy cow, sun tunnels are ahhh-mazing for small areas!). We ended up replacing the damaged skylights which were manual with solar-powered ones, with a gateway that makes them SUPER-skylights and decided to wait on the installation of new ones in the other area of our home. I wanted to have some time with the replacement skylights before making the decision which type of skylights to add. A sun tunnel was also suggested since they are pretty surprisingly cost effective - a Big Bang for your buck. And boy are they! Communication was second-to-none and every single person from those in the office, to sales to the installer were amazing. They bent over backwards when our roof replacement was delayed due to rain and we had to postpone the original install date to get us on the schedule within a reasonable amount of time. These folks are at the top of my list as far as contractors go. Zero disappointments...and that's not often a thing with contractors. I'm certain we'll be working with them again in the next year...I'm so grateful to have found them.

    Excellenct company. They replaced a skylight and added a roof window for me. They know how to properly install, insulate and add the drywall for the new window. They were always professional, courteous and responsive. Would recommend.
  • Thomas Simmons
    I had Houseworks Daylighting Solutions of Clive, Iowa install my second skylight yesterday. I can't say enough good things about them. First, it's simply astonishing how the extra light from above transforms a room--in fact, the ambient light from the two skylights has now raised the entire second floor to a new level of beauty. Owner Lee Collins takes the time to visit and to understand exactly what I wanted; installer Seth Keller is a practical and meticulous artist. Brilliant work, brilliant light!
  • Alexander B.
    I was very pleased with the work accomplished. The sales representative was very knowledgeable and professional but never pushy. On the day of the install rotten plywood was encountered around the skylight, it was replaced and the final product was amazing. The price was very reasonable as well, even after the additional fix was required. I highly recommend Houseworks Daylight Solutions....very good people to do business with.

    I've worked with Houseworks Daylighting Solutions last year to replace my skylights. It was a significant project and a fairly complicated one given the specific architecture of our house. I've received 3 quotes from 3 different vendors. In addition to sending his installers to survey our house, an estimater whom I've met with afterwards on a separate occasion, the owner of the company himself came out to my house personally 3 times throughout the duration of the project, to ensure the proper assessment and specific planning on how the skylights were to be installed. Some of the skylights were professionally stained (additional cost)first prior to installation. The preparation that this company put into the project was what sold me. I am a particular individual with discriminating taste, and I have to say that Houseworks Daylighting Solutions was excellent. The team was very professional and punctual. They did not leave a mess behind, and they were very thorough. If you desire service where a company's performance speaks louder than their words, Houseworks is it. I've done the homework for you; you can thank me later. These guys are it.
