Skylight Guide Website Goes Live

(Newswire.net — March 4, 2016) Seattle, WA — A new website designed to help homeowners choose, purchase and install a new skylight is online starting today.

The Skylight Installer website provides information and guidance regarding the process of shopping for and installing a new skylight or replacing an older one.   

The site’s editor, Ian Phi, said his new site can put homeowners in touch with a professional window contractor, someone who has experience with installing skylights, and who will discuss the options and process of selecting and putting in one of these specialty windows.

“This website is specifically for those homeowners who have a room they think would be an ideal location for a skylight, but they aren’t sure about the process of putting one in,” stated Phi, “And our site can put those homeowners in touch with someone who can give them their expert opinion on their situation.”

“A skylight can be a terrific solution for a dark room, especially if that room doesn’t have any exterior walls,” Phi said, “And they can also work well for rooms where a regular window might invite privacy issues.”

“Most property owners like the benefits of a skylight,” he said, “Plus, realtors will tell you that most home shoppers consider a skylight to be a desirable feature in homes they are considering purchasing. So installing one of these windows can be considered a small home improvement that may actually help increase your home’s property value in a small way.”

Installing a Skylight is Best Left to a Professional

While most homeowners like to save money on home improvements and repairs, Phi stated that skylight installation is one project that most homeowners shouldn’t try to do themselves in order to save some money.

“I know there are some homeowners who consider themselves to be Do-It-Yourselfers and they may want to install their own skylight,” continued Phi, “But we recommend against doing it yourself. Putting in a skylight is not something that most homeowners should try doing themselves.”

“Look, when you install a skylight, you need to cut open your ceiling and your roof, plus you need to get up and work on your roof, and if you make a mistake, it can be a big mistake,” Phi said, “And that is a situation that the vast majority of homeowners are just not comfortable getting involved with.”

“When you select a skylight, the two most important factors to consider are the quality of the window and the exactness of the installation,” concluded Phi, “A good-quality window, installed perfectly, will look and work great for many years. Plus it won’t leak. But a window that is not put in the right way can develop a leak or begin to fog up under certain situations. And that’s not what the homeowner wants.”

Phi mentioned that his website is interested in hearing from anyone who has gone through the process of installing a skylight and would like to discuss their experience, whether it was good or bad. For details, you can visit http://www.SkylightInstaller.com.
