Installing skylights can be a difficult undertaking. Depending on the slope of your roof and the depth of your house, the lightwells might rise to significant heights above your top floor. Our 2-story house was 36’ deep with an 8/12 roof pitch. For an ideal installation (smooth, reflective lightwell walls), this means using 4’ x 12’ sheetrock panels. For two 2’ x 4’ skylights, you need nearly 270 sq ft of new “wall” – in your attic – and all of it must be insulated consistently (in our case R-30). 270 sqft is the equivalent of an 8’ high wall 34’ long. The level of effort involved and the associated logistics (working up to 20' above the top floor) is almost inconceivable.We asked Velux for certified installers in our area (Reston-Herndon-Sterling) and they gave us 3 names. We were most impressed with Bull Construction (Reston). The owners of the company – Elmar & Shawn – visited our jobsite at least once a day and dealt with all of our concerns. The final result could not have been better or more dramatic. Bull Construction was very punctual and easy to deal with. If you’re thinking about installing skylights, take it from us – get the Bull in your corner!Our family and friends inspected our 2 new skylights at Thanksgiving. Our nephew shook his head and said “that company could build the pyramids”. Yep.

My experience with Bull when my skylight malfunctioned during rain (mercifully, light) was simply extraordinary. Way, way out of the norm. Velux referred me to Bull and, even though I called out of hours, Sean was not just available but extraordinarily helpful, holding my hand as we worked through the possible issues carefully and thoroughly. I couldn't possibly have asked for more. The following morning, Diego showed up as early as I could have wished, went through the possibilities with me again, and we worked out the problem. There is simply no question that in the future, it's Bull I'll call -- for anything at all, major or minor. And call right away.

Dependable, experienced, skilled, fairly priced.One of my skylights was damaged in a storm and needed to be replaced. I happened to know the name of the manufacturer, so I looked for a certified installer nearest me. That was Bull Contruction and Roofing. They sent someone out the same day to give me an estimate. It took several days to get the estimate and when it came it was more money than I expected. I got a second estimate from a company I have used before which I know to be fairly priced and does good work. Their estimate was $500 more. In other words, Bull Contruction and Roofing's price was very good. Clearly, I am out of touch with construction costs.The order of the skylight and installation took a while but when they came, the installation was quick, neat, and watertight. I do not hesitate to recommend Bull Contruction and Roofing.

I had some questions regarding the installation of my Verlux, skylights. I spoke with Sean, who was exceptionally knowledgeable of the product. Because the windows were replacements for 30 year windows & did not match the size of the cut-out, Sean spent an inordinate amount of time with me to suggest reasonable ways to finish the interior trim . . . so satisfying to have a professional who listens & is qualified to provides a welcomed solution!

Another roofing company was refusing to complete a sun tunnel installation inside my home. I explained my predicament to Shawn McDiffitt, and without much fanfare, he arranged to send a carpenter to my home the very next morning. Now that’s service!!! I’m happy with the craftsmanship, and I recommend Bull Construction for your carpentry projects.
