Pat Snow replaced our eleven (11) ~25 year old Velux skylights in our kitchen area with the current generation of Velux Energy+ fixed skylights. The 3 days of work was performed over a 6 day period without incident, despite having halt the work due to 3 days of heavy rain. Pat and his crew were very courteous, punctual, took the time to explain what they were doing, answered all my questions, and even took care of a few odds and ends that were not part of our contract. Pat called twice during the rainy days to ensure that there were no leaks, and they customer support was greatly appreciated. I would highly recommend Pat and his crew, in fact I already have recommended them to my sister. Well done Pat et al, and thank you for the quality workmanship :)

There are a lot of contractors out there that can talk the talk and promise the world...this is one that walks the walk to back up the talk. I was very impressed with how they made me feel at ease with what they were about to do...and then follow through on that commitment with flying colors. And yes, I would highly recommend them to my mother.

Snow's construction installed 3 skylights in our kitchen area. They have the knowledge and experience to complete a great job. It took several days to finish but was well worth the time and money. I love the light, the job opened up my home and truly gave it a more open feeling. Thank You A++ Job!

I had Snow's Construction install a Suntunnel in my home. The communication was clear, their work was efficient & professional. Thanks for the great job! I will highly recommend suntunnels and your company.

I would like to thank Pat Snow and his team for the superb job they did with the skylights they installed in my entryway. They have a professional and honest working relationship with the client, they went out of the way to explain all of the information I would need, as well as gave me suggestions on different angles to give the job more flare. I would highly recommend Snows Construction for any skylight install or repair. They arrived on time, got the job done neatly, in the estimated time, for a very reasonable price and the whole team have a pleasant down to earth attitude! It was a pleasure to have Pat and his crew working on my home, they put in great detail and left it in pristine condition. I will recommend this company to all of my family and friends.

I was looking to introduce a WOW factor to my main entrance way. Patrick was able to reconstruct the roof of my home to accommodate six skylights. Not an easy task. It looks fantastic!! Potlights and uplight LED's make the look impressive at night as well. This company really pays attention to the details and the construction quality is top notch.

Hey mike thanks for the review, It's amazing what some people pass off as a completed job glad we could help out. Patrick Snow

I always wanted a skylight above the stairs. Finally, I got some “extra money” after Christmas. I wondered if skylight companies install skylights in the winter and found out they do. I had done a lot of researches on the Internet and talked to five companies before I chose one. And I have to say that my research paid off. I’m happy to share my questions, answers and happy ending with you. Q: Is it worth the money to put in a skylight? To me, it is priceless to let the sun shine into my house, especially during the long, dark winter. Now, the hallway of my second floor “opens up”, and the entrance of my main floor “becomes spacious”. Furthermore, when I don’t need to turn on the lights above the stairs during the day, I feel “green.” Q: Will the project make the house messy and dusty, which will interrupt your life? A: No. Before they cut the ceiling, they will build a “plastic tent” around their working area to catch debris. And the platform they built over the stairs is not in people’s way. (See picture #1 below.) Q: If putting in a skylight takes three to four days to finish, will the heating bill shoot through the roof through that open hole? A: No. Since most of the work is done inside, building frames to strengthen the roof structure, building and finishing the shaft, to open the roof and install the skylight will take only a few hours. You hardly see a couple of bucks increase in your heating bill. On the other hand, winter is the slow season for construction businesses. Not only can you find better deals, but you also can get hold of a good company, like Snow’s Construction that is usually hard to get hold of in regular season. Q: If they step on the frozen shingles, will the shingles be damaged? A: Patrick of Snow’s Construction is always careful and prepared. He has bought new shingles, just in case he needs to replace some. Q: How did Snow’s Construction “beat” the other companies and win this job? A: I was looking for a skylight contractor that was very knowledgeable and experienced. I spoke to five contractors and was impressed by some experts from three major skylight companies, especially Patrick Snow of Snow’s Construction. Patrick was knowledgeable and experienced. He knows most skylight products on the market and recommended Velux with good reason. Patrick spoke highly of the other two companies, and meanwhile explained the materials he would recommend and the work he would do in great details, with drawings. Patrick’s quotation was in the middle range. However, he offered upgraded materials and a better style, with flares to make the skylight look much bigger. Q: Based on my experience, I would say, A: First of all, Patrick and Gareth are perfectionists who take pride in what they do. The finished skylight is so impressive that I cannot wait to show it off! Secondly, their attitude has earned my trust and respect: 1. Patrick and Gareth are happy to answer any question you have and will explain everything you wish to know. 2. To Patrick, doing a good job is the most important. When other companies use 2 x 6 lumber to strengthen the structure and frame, Patrick prefers to use 2 x 10 lumber to make the roof extra strong. Gareth joked, “Now, you can park a car up here.” 3. They take care of all details: Day one, they started to build the shaft and cut the ceiling open. Before they left for the day, Gareth took care to insulate the opened area properly, even though it was temporary, to prevent heat lost. (See picture #2.) 4. Patrick and Gareth have their client’s best interest at heart, regardless the extra work they may run into or the extra cost that may occur. When they opened the attic, they found some complications, which needed more work. Patrick did not bill me for that. When other companies use the standard R-22 insulation, Patrick uses R-32, which is better and more costly. When, it just happened that the supplier did not have R-32 in stock that day. Patrick paid for an upgraded R-40! 5. They go beyond clients’ expectations. By the end of the day, Gareth took the time to vacuum clean every inch of my carpet, and left it cleaner than they found it. (Even though I told them I would have the carpet steam-cleaned after all, they insisted on leaving my house spotless just the same.) When they prepared to paint the ceiling to conclude the job, they even took care to fix some existing problems to make it look as good as part of their job. To conclude my review, I would say Patrick and Gareth are very easy to work with, highly professional, and most of all, very decent people! A great job, Patrick and Gareth! Thank you very much. (See picture #3. This skylight is perfect from all angles. Unfortunately this picture does not reveal its full beauty because it was taken in a gloomy day.)

Thank you for the informative review,I'm so glad you were happy with the final result. This install truly opened up the area, I was pleased as well. Patrick Snow

Had Snow's Construction over in the hopes of getting a skylight installed in my home. Unfortunatley, the roof structure didn't allow it. Patrick came up with a great solution involving a few of Velux suntunnels. I have to admit I was weary of the idea at first but he was able to configure it perfectly in the area, at a fraction of the cost of installing a skylight :) I would now highly recommended this alternative as I am shocked at the amount of light it has added to my home. If you're looking for straight sunlight, then this is the product for you - and Pat is the guy to do it! One thing i really liked about Patrick was the fact that he referred me to his competitors (on this site) stating that these are the other trustworthy skylight installers which he trusts which allowed me to compare 'apples to apples'. Meanwhile I found that other companies were telling my why 'not' to use their competitors. Patrick is a very stand up guy -- not many left in the city. Thanks again guys!

Hi Stacey, Yes the Velux Suntunnels are really gaining popularity, amazing amount of light at a fraction of the cost, I was really pleased the the end result, thanks again for the work, and take care. Patrick Snow

Pat and his crew installed two skylights with minimal interruption to my daily life. There was no mess nor dust because of the manner in which they sealed the site with plastic. Not only are the skylights a significant improvement in our second story, but he also gave me some advice on attic installation and ventilation. Most important to me was that they had a very respectful team, who had the foresight to follow up on Saturday and made sure every minor detail has been thought of. I would recommend Pat Snow and team to anyone interested in an excellent skylight installation.
