Hugh Gallagher and his crew were so professional and meticulous with their work. Hugh's final price was exactly what he quoted me. Upfront with explaining rebate and even called to see if there were any issues with skylights. Highly recommend, will definitely use again for any future jobs. Thank you, Hugh! Love my skylights.

A big shout out to Hugh Gallager from Solar Illuminations for his professionalism. I had an issue with an architectural skylight in my house and approached Hugh to fix the problem. I got Hugh's contact through a recommendation I received on a FB group. He was very quick to respond and immediately came over to take a look. Unlike other contractors who said that the entire skylight had to be replaced, Hugh convinced me that he could remediate the issue without replacement. Hugh and his buddy Larry are wonderful and genuine people. They took care of the problem and diligently followed up on their work. Larry mentioned "They are very stubborn and take challenging projects". They are indeed very stubborn in a good way to their clients because they not only finish the work they promised but continued to make sure that it's in a good standing.I am so happy to have found Hugh Gallager to take care of my skylight and would highly recommend him. He performs his profession with a good heart and dedication.

Hugh, Larry and crew were very professional, thorough, and respectful. They kept me in the loop on each phase of the install process and consulted with me when anything unexpected turned up (which is to be expected during any home improvement project). As an avid DIYer I greatly appreciated this. 4 skylights replaced in 4 hours. Even though I requested some additional work, the final bill was equal to the estimate with no surprise charges! They actually told me at the start, “if you need something done just ask and we’ll take care of it”. No debris was left behind either. Everything was cleaned up and taken away by Hugh. And by the way, we’ve had several events of torrential rains since then with no leaks! I definitely recommend Solar Illuminations to anyone that requires a skylight installation / replacement.

You could not find a more knowledgeable, attentive, trustworthy or communicative pro than Hugh. We are extremely happy with our new skylight in our old, tricky house and felt in great hands from start to finish. Go with this company!

Hugh Gallagher and the Solar Illuminations team replaced 6 skylights in our house in August, 2021. Those skylights were "fixed" multiple times before but continued to leak. After the installation all skylights are leak free. Hugh was extremely professional, never pushed and always provided complete information. It was a pleasure to deal with him and the work was well done. The pricing was fair as well. Would recommend to anyone looking for new or replacement skylights.

I had a bad leak in the ceiling a year ago. Several roofers recommended roof replacement including the 2 skylights. But the roof was only 16 years old, so my instinct pointed to getting new skylights. Velux was the trust-worthy brand with NO-LEAK warranty. I found Hugh Gallagher's company Solar Illuminations with 5-star reviews on Velux website. Mr. Gallagher was responsive with estimate and installation, he also reminded me about the energy saving incentives. After installation, he programmed the remote control and made sure I was familiar and comfortable with the skylights and build-in blinds operation. Unfortunately, I found the ceiling was wet again months later. Mr. Gallagher personally climbed up the roof to check. This spring, he again brought the installer/roofer, Larry, to check to be sure. Larry pulled out 3 rusted nails in the shingles, unrelated to the skylights, as the culprit of the ceiling leaks. The level of service and after-installation care has been above and beyond ordinary. Last week, when we had an 80-degree warm day, I tried to open the skylights but found the remote malfunctioned. I call Hugh again. He drove 45-minutes to come out to help. I apologized to Hugh that I had become a pest, but he smiled and assured me that he wanted to be sure I was happy with the product and the service.

Hugh did a great job replacing our skylights. He was very patient and thorough in explaining my options. We opted for the solar skylights and so glad that we did. Hugh is a nice guy, professional and so easy to work with. If you need skylights replaced or installed, I recommend Solar Illuminations.

Hugh Gallagher installed 2 Skylights in our house. We purchased Solar sun screen with it. He was very cooperative and friendly until the sale went through.Within a year the sun screen started making a lot of noise while opening and closing. We knew that it would break and stop working after that. I called him and he came to examine it and said he would return to fix it. He NEVER did and would NOT return my numerous calls and emails. So we have no choice but to live with it. He cheated us and I would strongly recommend against doing business with him and his company.

My wife and I are very happy Hugh Gallagher of "Solar Illuminations" did an outstanding job with the removal of our 26 years old leaking skylights and installed two new VELUX Solar Powered with internal shades "Fresh Air" Skylight systems in one day. Hugh and his installation team's workmanship is Excellent, they didn't stop until the job was done. The installation process was well planned and executed excellently. Their price quote fit our budget and was pleased a large amount of work was done for the amount we paid. Hugh cleaned up after the installation was completed and removed the old leaking skylights, he fully tested both new skylights and show me how to operate and program the remote control and smart mobile controller. Hugh even called us back a couple of weeks later to make sure there was no leeks and the operation of the windows were working with no issues(this is a person who really care about his work and wants to make sure his customers are very happy). We highly recommend "Solar Illuminations", thank you Hugh Gallagher !!!Work Completed Date: June 6th 2019Services Performed: YesHire Again: Yes

Hugh Gallagher and the Solar Illuminations team install four skylights on our home in June 2018 after evaluating the condition of all 13 units on our roof. Hugh was great to work with throughout the process. He was responsive to all our questions, made a detailed analysis of the condition of all the units and provided us options for repair / replacement. Solar Illuminations is a pleasure to work with and provides a frank assessment of cost based upon your budget. Hugh was on the roof despite the rain to make certain everything would fit according to Velux specifications.Hugh kept me informed of everything during the process and installed the units on a timely basis as promised. Hugh even went beyond normal expectations as we had a unit that required a unique shape not available from Velux. He worked with us to order the correct unit which had to be manufactured to fit the skylight opening. Hugh had the unit shipped to his location, transported to our home and install it without us even being in town during the process. He is truly a dedicated and thoughtful businessman who I highly recommend to anyone seeking to purchase or replace their skylights. My units were 29 years old and Hugh replaced them like magic. His prices are fair and his quality is tremendous - don't use a roofer for your skylights as Hugh is knowledgeable on all aspects of installation and specifications. I have no hesitation to recommend Solar Illuminations and Hugh services and would use his services again. Great Guy.

Solar Illuminations replaced three old skylights in our kitchen and hallway. Velux's five-star rating for this company is well-deserved. The work was completed in no time at all by Hugh and his professional team. And, as others have said, Hugh is a pleasure to deal with. I highly recommend Solar Illuminations.

I learned of Hugh Gallagher from Velux's website as he is listed as a 5-star installer. He replaced my 30 year old leaky skylight professionally and promptly. He and his crew came on time and did job with ease. Hugh was a pleasure doing business with.

Hugh Gallagher replaced a Skylight for me and the roof area around the skylight started leaking recently. I called Hugh and he claimed he came and checked it out and resealed it. It continued leaking and I placed multiple calls and emails to Hugh and he never returned my calls or emails. I had a roofer come over to check it and he found the plywood under the shingles totally rotted out right above the Skylight. The entire roof area that Hugh had replaced during the installation had to be redone.I would definitely not recommend this company for your work.
