5 Reasons an Authorized VELUX Skylight Contractor Stands Above
One of the most cost-efficient ways to increase the value of your home involves installing skylights. The addition of more sunlight enhances the ambiance of any room, as well as generates warmth to help lower energy bills. Skylights also allow you to highlight certain features of a room, such as paintings hanging on a wall and books stacked neatly in a bookcase. The question is not whether you should install skylights, but instead, what types of skylights should brighten up one or more rooms in your house.
The answer is to install VELUX skylights, which took off in popularity when they started to become fixtures in American homes in the late 1990s.
Here are five reasons why an authorized VELUX skylight contractor stands above the rest.
Abundance of Light
At Mares & Dow, the pivotal selling point for homeowners when it comes to installing skylights concerns the amount of light that shines into one or more rooms. No other type of skylight shines the amount of sunlight projected by VELUX skylights. From the large size to direct angle design, VELUX skylights shine more sunlight than any other brand of skylight on the market. They are the ideal skylights to turn a dark attic into a room full of sunlight.
Affordable Home Improvement
A VELUX skylight contractor can help you increase the value of your house, without you having to put a huge dent in the home improvement budget. Unlike projects such as the addition of a new roof, a VELUX skylight installation project does not require a substantial investment. Even better, you can gradually add skylights to meet your budget constraints.
Minimal Disruptions
VELUX skylight contractors are not only known for their high quality of work, but they also are known for causing minimal disruptions while they work. VELUX skylight contractors work one room at a time to minimize the chaos that often accompanies home improvement projects. For example, you can remain in your study while you work from home, while a VELUX skylight contractor installs skylights in an upstairs bedroom.
Unsurpassed Expertise
VELUX skylights come in a wide variety of shapes, styles, and sizes. For example, the solar-powered Fresh Air Skylights include a solar panel that absorbs sunlight to charge a control system powered by a battery. A VELUX skylight contractor provides you with a comprehensive description and eventually a recommendation of the type of skylight that works best for your home. You also learn about different features of VELUX skylights like a remote control that opens and closes a skylight.
Tax Credits
Homeowners who install eligible VELUX skylights might receive up to 22 percent in tax credits to lower both purchase and installation costs. The tax credit benefit is because VELUX makes the commitment to design skylights that reduce the world’s carbon footprint. VELUX’s Go Solar initiative follows the mission statement to decrease energy consumption and produce energy savings for customers.
Hire the Right VELUX Skylight Contractor
The right VELUX skylight contractor should be responsive when you call, text, or send an email. You should receive quick responses to every question, even if you leave a voice message on the company’s voicemail system. A VELUX skylight contractor who is upfront about project issues gives you peace of mind. The contractor hired to complete your VELUX skylight installation project should devise alternative project strategies to account for issues such as poor weather and supply chain disruptions.
Before you hire a VELUX Skylight contractor, read the reviews left by customers on sites like Yelp and Google, as well as access the contractor’s Better Business Bureau page.
