I wanted to replace five windows on my second floor. I called PL Skylights. They showed up right away and measured sizes. A week later they installed new windows. Very professional and reasonable price. Highly recommend this company.

I got 2 skylights leaked in kitchen Nov 2012. They not only replaced skylights, but also replaced shingles around them and put ice-water shield, new flashing. Excellent customer service. Definitely recommend it.

Our HORRIBLE experience with PL Skylight, Roof & Windows We decided to change one of windows in our house, and we chose company "PL skylight, roof & windows" (short for PL in the below text) for the service. It turns out to be a big mistake and we are totally disappointed with PL. PL is the worst company we have ever seen. Below is the whole story. We have invited 3 window companies for the quote at the end of April. PL's price was in the middle, CAD 850+ compared with the cheapest quoting 700+. But we chose PL because: 1) PL said they can finish the job within 2 weeks' time while the company with cheapest quoting said we have to wait a month; 2) PL has higher rating (9.7) on the homestar.com compared to the other one with 9.4. We want to change the window ASAP so we decided to go with PL at the end. BTW, another reason is PL's boss Lisa is Chinese and we thought it would be good if we chinese hire chinese. We paid 40% of deposit to PL on May 1st and PL promised us the job would be done in two weeks. We waited until middle of May but nobody from PL called to tell us the progress. I called PL only to be told that they are busy and our window can only be done at the end of May. We were not happy but we tolerated and said ok and agreed with them the job would be done on June 1st. However, by the end of May, still nobody told us what's going on. I called again and again only to be told to wait and wait. Finally I called and insisted that I need to know the progress. Only then they told me the window is not ready and I have to wait until June 9th. We started to regret that we should choose the other company at the beginning. On Sat, June 9th, one PL installer finally showed up at our door at 11am, 2 hours later than scheduled. He started to knock down our original window with very loud noise while my 9 month baby was sleeping. After he knock down the window he even ask my husband's help to carry the very heavy new window to the 2nd floor (which is supposed to be done with PL's own professional staff). Only at that time PL guy found out that the window is NOT the right size!!! Nobody in PL has ever checked the window before they knock down our original window!!! There was a big hole on our wall and it was going to rain that day. PL said they have to re-order the window and we have to wait another week. Regarding to the hole, they covered it with a big dirty wood board and sealed it with a nasty smell chemical. There was no light at all in our house and it looked like a jail in the hell!!! It was really hot those days and we could not even turn on the air-con because of the nasty smell. My 9 month baby could not sleep well and even have to breath in the nasty chemical!!! It was an unbearable week for us. We keep pushing PL to install the window and finally they corrected it on June 15th, which is already SIX weeks from the day we ordered!!!! We are really disappointed by PL's service, and we negotiated with PL for discount, not because we are cheap person, we just want to express our dissatisfaction. There is no way that we should pay the higher amount of cost for the worse service. However, Lisa, PL's boss, every time SHOUTED to me that it was not their fault, and we should be THANKFUL to them because she did not let us wait in darkness for another 3 weeks to make the new window. Today she called me again, SHOUTING and SCREAMING in the phone again. My baby was scared to cry. When I told her that I am going to write my review to the homestar, she said:" write whatever you like, none of my business!". She said she does not care about my review on the website since nobody will care about it. I said I care and I chose PL based on the rating and it was a big mistake for me. You know what she said? She said that is my mistake and I have to pay price for MY WRONG CHOICE!!!!! How UNREASONABLE is this woman??? At the end, she even THREATEN to remove the window from my house!!! I hung up the phone because I do not want to fight with an unreasonable woman in front of my baby. There were too many bad memories with PL. I do not have time to write them all here. It is 11pm now and I should be sleeping with my baby after a tiring day. But I was feel so upset and hurt that I could not sleep. I must write down our HORRIBLE experience with PL and let those people who CARE about the ratings like me know what a TERRIBLE company PL is!

Hi, we are disappointed to read this review. PL Skylights worked very hard to satisfy this homeowner (as we do for all of our clients), Unfortunately, sometimes there are circumstances that are beyond our control ie: manufacturing issues. Please read our other reviews for a more accurate depiction of how we run this company. We wish this homeowner the best.

My wife has been on me to install a skylight, I was reticent because I thought they all leaked. I found PL Skylights on Homestars, I called them and spoke to Olena. She sent Noel to view my property, he explained PL skylights do not leak due to the way they are built and installed by the PL team, We chose a 4x4 foot venting unit and the guys built as a beautiful tunnel that has totally transformed our home! Better still we now have a cross breeze. It's over 100 degrees Fahrenheit outside - my AC is off and I had to write this review to share my story. I am now getting PL to replace 4 dome skylights at the company I work for. They DO leak, PL's don't!!

Had many quotes from various suppliers to replace my aging skylights. PL Skylights was the most competitively priced and had a superior product when compared to the other quotes. Was somewhat apprehensive when I saw the scope of the work and the daylight peering through my now open roof. However, Lisa, Noel and team put me at ease with there professionalism during the extensive removal and installation process. They kept there promises and the timelines established for the installation and clean up. The new skylights are amazing! For a superior product and pricing I would not hesitate to recommend PL Skylights! A+++

Any advice to offer fellow homeowners facing a similar project?
Compare products carefully as not all skylights are created equally.

I hired PL Skylight to replace my aged acrylic dome skylight. PL skylight price was inline with most other quotes we had but they had PVC frame with garter and the glass was tempered and had LOW-E Argon Gas. Noel knowledge seemed extensive. The work was carried out in the most professional manner imaginable. New skylight looks and performs beautifully. I would recommend this installer to anyone.

Just completed a skylight installation to bring light into a dark staircase area. Lisa and her team were always professional, courteous and punctual. The project was finished on schedule and on budget. It is truly spectacular and is now a centrepiece of our home. Thanks to Lisa and his crew for their amazing job.

PL Skylight went well beyond my expectations. Lisa was professional from start to finish. She quoted, contracted and executed flawlessly. I had a 3x3 feet PL fixed skylight installed on my roof. This job was carried out without a hitch. Lisa's team was great. I am 110% pleased. If you are considering having a skylight installed or repaired I would not hesitate to use PL Skylight.

PL skylight went well beyond my expectations. Neol was professional from start to finish. He quoted, contracted and executed flawlessly. I had a 36X48 -PFS34 PL Skylight installed on a flat roof. This job was carried out without a hitch. Neol's team was great. I am 110% pleased. If you are considering having a skylight installed or repaired I would not hesitate to use PL Skylight.
