Everything went right about this business. My questions were answered, a home visit was scheduled quickly and the business owner showed up on time. I was interested in solar tubes as my house has always been so dark. He made some suggestions and listened to my input. I settled on 4 solar tubes. The installation was done in about half a day and was professional and work areas were left clean and dust free. I am very pleased and highly recommend Solabrite. read more

Have wanted to add a skylight in my kitchen, but didn't want expense or that much major work. A friend told me about solatubes so I made an appointment with Solabrite in Pleasanton. Appointment was made quickly for estimate as well as installation. Process was great and I am happy with my new solatube and Solabrite. read more

I previously gave Solabrite a 5-star review in 2012. Unfortunately, Solabrite is no longer owned by the same owner as in 2012. The new installation crew is less experienced. The plus side is that the new owner, Mufid, is a very nice person and very easy to deal with, and goes out of his way to offer discounts where applicable. One thing this new crew is better at than the previous owner was in dust control. The new owner's crew diligently covered all my furniture with large plastic sheets. The previous owner only used a shield at the sheetrock drill bit to capture sheetrock dust, but did not use plastic sheets. However, in other aspects, the prior owner's installer was much better. For example, the previous owner's installer used a gutter protector to prevent his extension ladder from scratching or bending the top edges of my gutters as he climbed onto my roof. The current owner and his crew were far less diligent in this regard. They placed the full weight of the extension ladder, along with their full body weight, on my gutter without any gutter protection, resulting in very unsightly scratches and noticeable bends to the top edge of the gutter. The new owner's crew was careless regarding fingerprints, leaving numerous fingerprints on the reflective surfaces of the solar tubes. Those fingerprints would noticeably diminish the light output from the solar tubes. The fingerprints were caused by the installer prematurely removing the protective film from the reflective tubes during installation. Removing the protective film should have been done AFTER the reflective tube was securely affixed. If the installer couldn't do that, he should have used new disposable gloves when handling the reflective surfaces to avoid leaving fingerprints. I had to complain to the installer about the numerous fingerprints before he would climb up to the solar tube to remove them with a glass-cleaning spray. Another area where the new owner's crew was careless was in restoring the fiberglass insulation they had removed during installation. They removed or pushed aside the fiberglass insulation in the roof space and never bothered to reinstall it around the solar light tubing, leaving large sections of the roof without any insulation. I can see the huge gaps in roof insulation caused by this new crew by using a thermal camera. When the new Solabrite owner came to my home to prepare a quote for the bathroom solar tube lights with bathroom exhaust fan add-ons, I had every reasonable expectation that the quote was for a turnkey installation and would include Solabrite or its subcontractor repairing any damage to the drywall caused by the installation and repainting the repaired areas to match the existing drywall color. Since my bathrooms didn't have existing exhaust fans, they needed new electrical switches. Solabrite subcontracted an electrician to install power switches for the exhaust fan add-ons. During the installation of the wall switches, the electrician ran new wires behind the bathroom drywall and cut multiple holes in the drywall. After the installation, neither the electrician nor the Solabrite crew patched those drywall holes. I complained to Solabrite, and the owner came over several days after the installation to patch the large holes in the drywall at no extra cost to me. However, I was still left responsible for sanding the drywall patches smooth and painting them to match the existing bathroom wall color. None of this was mentioned during the quoting process or in the quote I received that I, the homeowner, would be responsible for patching up, sanding, and painting the drywall to match the color for damage caused by the electrician. This was a very unpleasant surprise that I only found out after the fact. Since the electrician was a subcontractor to Solabrite, and I didn't contract with the electrician independently, it was (or should have been) ultimately Solabrite's responsibility to patch up, sand, prime, and repaint the drywall. In all areas where I indicated the installer crew failed to meet my expectations, it's really the owner's responsibility to properly train the crew and enforce high-quality standards. Failure to do that ultimately falls on the business owner. read more

We love our new solar tubes! For years we've been dealing with a dark living room. Installing these has made a dramatic difference. In hindsight, we probably would have chosen the smaller size (14" vs. 10") due to the amount of light they provide, as our living room is small. The installation was fast and efficient. Our installer, Mufid, was very personable and he did a great job. The only issue we ran into was the installation date. We called the afternoon prior to our installation date, to get a confirmation. We were told that they wouldn't be coming the next day, as scheduled. They asked if instead they could do it one day later. We were surprised by this and wish that they had contacted us, rather than us finding out by contacting them, the afternoon before. All and all, we're very happy with the end result. read more

Solabrite - Let there be light! - Windows Installation Near Me - Pleasanton, California

I had 3 large ugly old plastic based skylights that retained heat in my house. I've updated and replaced them all finally with Solar operated skylights which have been Awesome during the heat waves. I could vent the house in the evening and all night to cool it down. They also block the heat to a significant degree such that I've not had to use the a/c. I've used Solabrite over the years to do this upgrade and what keeps me coming back is the great personal attention from Yasmeen who is super responsive and personable with my quotes etc, , Miguel who helped install and show me how to trouble shoot any issues. Highly recommend and I love the Velux brand Solar skylight, so quiet and consistent in its operation and I purchased the App as an additional control but it comes with remotes for each one. read more

So happy that we found Solabrite. My dad has had these solar tubes in their house since the mid to late 90s, and we couldn't find the original installers. The tube in my dads bedroom started leaking last year and I worked a lot with John to have someone come check out what was happening. Ken, the installer thought at first that adjusting a gasket would be sufficient, similar to what my dad had thought as well. Simple fix. Well, turns out that wasn't it because it leaked pretty bad during one of the last storms last year. My dad and I forgot about it, and finally thought about it in the past month or so and John still remembered our situation! Ken came back and he even remembered the previous work. Ken and Ernesto were great. They replaced the whole tube, showed my dad the issue. John even recommended putting in a dimmer so that my dad can adjust the brightness at night since it's right in the middle of the bedroom. My dad loves it! Thank you. I really do appreciate all the notes you took for our situation, which made it easier to understand and remember what happened and what should be done to correct our issue. read more

Solabrite - New solar tube in bedroom. - Windows Installation Near Me - Pleasanton, California

We hade Solabrite install a whole house fan in our 2000 sq/ft home here in Santa Rosa earlier this year. Works exactly as advertised. During this record heat the house got cooler much faster in the evening and as it clears the attic of heat as outside air is pulled in if you leave it on low overnight it makes consecutive days of record heat much easier to deal with. Highly recommended. Service was fast and professional. Cost was $2280. Well worth it especially for those of us without central a/c. read more

Solabrite recently replaced 6 sun tunnels in my home. The Solabrite Pleasanton Team is excellent and took the time to demonstrate the various options available to ensure that the end product fully met my needs. The Solabrite sun tunnels are significantly brighter than what I previously had and have definitely increased the brightness in my hallways and bathrooms. I also really light the night light feature, which helps if you need to get up in the late evening hours. I highly recommend Solabrite Pleasanton. read more

Huge thanks to SolaBrite! I had an old skylight in my house and called several window places and no one returned my call. I called SolaBrite and they had someone come out very quickly and measure and give me a quote. The quote was very reasonable and it was ordered and installed quickly. Very professional service and thanks for being on time! Installed said he would arrive at 8am and be rolled up at 7:59am. Very grateful for good service when I get it thanks. read more

Solabrite promptly provided us an affordable estimate and scheduled installation of a new skylight right away. They even called to offer an earlier appointment when it became available. All staff were friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. We are very satisfied with how bright and clear our new skylight is. We highly recommend solabrite! read more

I meant to give 5 stars! We love our solar tubes. Ken was great as our installer. Highly recommend.

GREAT company to work with! I'd called 4 skylight companies in Sonoma County. Couldn't get half of them to even return my calls. One that did gave me a ridiculous "we don't want your business" price. Solabrite was the only company that promptly came out, gave us a reasonable quote, got us on their schedule and installed a solar tube in our dark living room. We were so thrilled with the results, we're having them back to install a second in a dark hallway. After trying to give our business to other skylight companies in Sonoma County and getting nowhere, we were close to giving up on the whole idea. I'm so glad we didn't. I can't say enough wonderful things about this company! read more

I had a weather related issue and Mufid & Staff were at my home immediately and stablized the issue 100%! On time appointment, friendly, respectful and warranted all the work needed. EXCELLENT STAFF in field and in the office. 5 STARS+ read more

We had a skylight installed by Solabrite in conjunction with a new roof in 2020. During heavy rain the skylight was leaking into our bathroom. Solabrite came out, identified the problem and promptly fixed it without charge. Ultimately it was a problem of the roofing company's workmanship not Solabrite. The tech who responded was very friendly, efficient and I was very happy with his work. Solabrite was also going to pursue the roofing company to get them to do an additional repair at no cost to us. Would highly recommend. read more

Excellent customer communication and service. From initial inspection, job estimate to the price quote to the appointment arrangements to the prompt arrival on installation day the Sola-Brite team never dropped the ball. I had three solar tubes installed. The technician was experienced and competent. He was also a warm and funny guy. Job took about four hours. The quality of the components was good. I watched the installation. 24" round holes get cut into the roof. Guaranteed weather tight fit is mandatory. Job and parts are guaranteed for 10 years. Cost per skylight = $900 before 30% US federal tax credit. Highly recommended. read more

Wow! Was I impressed with the entire process! Thank you Sola-Brite for being a great example of what fantastic customer service is all about. I initially met a rep from this company about 3 years ago at a local Home Show. I have lived in my home for 11 years. There were 3 areas that absolutely needed to be brightened up with skylights. So I thought about it for 3 long years - what a pity as I should have jumped on this immediately after seeing the results! Every person that I dealt with from the initial call to the installation and follow up payment was very knowledgable and efficient. The installer they sent out had 9 years experience installing solar tubes. I selected the product that allows for a tax credit and after the install was complete, I was in love with my home all over again. Thank you Sola-Brite for really exceptional work! read more

Recently got solar tubes installed in the kitchen and living room. Amazing! So much light even during the gloomiest days. Each tube seems to light up approx 10ft each direction. They communicated the installation date/time and how long the installation would take very well. Miguel was professional, on-time & left the place spotless. The quality is excellent - highly recommend! read more

Honestly, I didn't do any price comparison shopping because I didn't know where to start. Cheap isn't always a good indicator of quality - and any time somebody cuts a hole in your roof, you really want to make sure that they know how to do it correctly! Solabrite was one of the vendors at a Rossmoor remodeling event, so I assumed they were somewhat vetted, if only by reputation. We called them, they were responsive, they came right out, the price seemed reasonable for the cost of a tube and everything that goes into an installation, so we went with them. They know Rossmoor, they knew what to do for permitting and approval, the installer was professional, and the results were great. And I'm happy to report that after these relentless rains, there haven't been any issues with the installation workmanship! (And it's been great having these solar tubes during that wet, dark period. They are in windowless interior bathrooms, and during all of the rain storms and the dark and the gloom, we've had some light in those rooms. And most of those times we've gotten enough solar gain, even on a rainy day, to charge the batteries for the tubes' LED night lights. That really helped during a recent 17 hr power outage.) read more

Mufid was awesome he came to out house on time did the installation under an hour he was pleasant and so helpful the lighting to our front livingroom looks so much better even the lady who booked me was super sweet and informative she even called me back to check if I received the scheduling email. Go with this company they won't disappoint!!!! Thank you! Tyra read more

My kids room was quite dark and my only option was to enlarge or add another window each would have required a complicated permitting process, then I came across solatube which is a very good product that bring lot of natural light to the room. the product works too well that during the clear night even the light from the moon is enough to keep a sensitive light sleeper awake. So I installed a solar dimmer switch which also works using solar energy to darken the unit. I have been very happy with the solabrite who installed the product. They were very professional, efficient, they came to give me a proposal and I hired them on the spot and they were done in few hours kept everything clean. I would highly recommend them. Only issue was that I had to remember to turn off the dimmer before the sun went down which was a problem because I kept forgetting to turn it off. However, solabrite fixed that problem as well. They came in and enabled a feature in the dimmer that turns on the dimmer before sun goes down. read more

Working with Sola-Brite has been quick, easy and was recommended by my sister who has used them over the years. Solatubes definitely bring in light to those dark rooms/hallways and makes a huge difference. I called to schedule an installation with John who was very accommodating, knowledgable and made recommendations on what i needed without overkill/sell..scheduled an appointment and Marty came out to do the installation. Great guy...providing options of where to install, advised what issues he came across and got my final approval on where to install the tubes. I had 2 installed...one in my living room and the other in my garage (above my washer/dryer/sink) which i normally have to turn on the light as it doesn't get much natural light during the day. It took approximately 4 hours from start to finish and Marty was conscientious about keeping the area clean by covering the floor and picking up everything before leaving. Highly recommend them as customer service and product is great! They do offer payment plans so that is always an option if needed. Thanks guys! read more

I can't say enough good things about our experience with Solabrite. We had waited a long time before finally taking the plunge with Solatubes, and our only regret is that we missed out on enjoying an excellent product for far too long. From our estimator, Mufid to Alex in the office and Miguel, our installer, every person we encountered at Solabrite was professional, helpful, responsive and just a down-to-earth decent human being. Mufid was efficient and straightforward in giving us an estimate and Alex was patient as we worked our way through several iterations. Miguel was nothing short of amazing. He showed up several minutes before 8 am on a Saturday, had all the parts and options that we had requested, an set about installing a total of 5 ten-inch solar tubes--one each to light our small, darkish bathrooms, and three to light our very dark interior hallway, smartly suggesting light kit adds on those three to ensure a seamless and professional looking finish. While we were momentarily concerned that he was alone on the job, our fears were wholly unfounded. He worked with expert precision and attention to detail and spent the next 7 hours completing a flawless install, patiently navigating our questions and stunned amazement along the way. His clean up was meticulous and other than the areas glowing from their new fixtures, you would never know the significant measuring, cutting, unpackaging and installing that had just taken plafce. The results were truly transformative and we couldn't be happier with the final product. The only downside is that the Solatube-lit parts of the house now shine like a gem and put a couple of other areas to shame; so much so that we have our sights set on two more tubes in the near future! Thanks to the whole Solabrite team for a top-notch experience. Now, if only all home improvement projects could be like this one .... read more

Let me preface that I am a previous happy customer and have had multiple projects done by Solabrite. With that being said, as a previous customer, I would be a "warm" to "hot" lead considering I know the company and know what work they do. I had scheduled for them to come out for an install last year and they no showed. . It wasn't a big deal as it isn't critical to have the work done. They said that they would give me a good deal if I scheduled this year. I had scheduled months in advance due to it's difficult for me to get off of work during the week. A day before my August 7th appointment, I'm told they cannot do it because it is hot and they have to go into an attic and that the tech was sick. . seriously? . If that was the case, why EVER would you take any appointments in the afternoon? So they rescheduled for Sept. 12th. 8-9a. No call. No show. I call this morning and they said that they have it for the 21st and they rescheduled it. Wouldn't they need to call me to reschedule? Nope. Instead, they just moved it without telling me. It shouldn't be this difficult to schedule nor to get this work done. Doesn't matter what the discount, time to go elsewhere. I appreciate John and his team for the previous work but this is unacceptable. read more

Solabrite was great. A pine cone crashed through our kitchen skylight. I tried to find a company to replace the skylight, and most of them didn't return my calls or only did so after more than a few days. Solabrite picked up the phone. Then sent someone to provide an estimate. He also cleaned up the pine needles on our roof. The estimate was reasonable. Then they scheduled the job soon and did it efficiently. What more could one ask for? read more

I love my 2new sola tube skylights. Makes the whole house brighter. Great service all done in less than a day. Very professional and courteous I would highly recommend this company. read more

We now have 4 Sola Tubes installed at our home all done by Mufid over the years. His workmanship is amazing. He knows what he is doing, is very efficient, courteous and thorough. He was in once to take all the measurements and came back a week later and got it done in a matter of hours. We love our Sola Tubes. They have made a huge difference to areas where they were installed to the point that we do not have to turn on lights for the most part till sun down. Amazing product, great people! read more

I just moved to Danville. One of the first projects that I worked on was replacing some old, cracked skylights before the rain starts and adding some Solatubes to my home (Kitchen, bathrooms). I work from home and noticed how dim some of our rooms were during the day. I had experience with Solatubes before so knew they were the solution. I contacted multiple roofers, however, was not happy with their expertise on the Solatube products. Moving from Southern CA I had worked with a Solatube dealer there and was very happy with the results. I searched for Solatubes on the web and found that we actually have a Solatube dealership in our area, Solabrite ( Pleasanton CA). I was extremely happy with the professionalism of Solabrite from my initial contact. The office was great. Set me up with an appointment quickly especially knowing how panicked I was about the rainy season. The estimator who showed up (Mufid) was also very professional and pleasant and had some great ideas on where to install Solatubes. Prices seemed fair and comparable to what I paid in Southern CA. We ended up agreeing to brighten up our hallway in addition to the Kitchen and bathrooms. I was surprised to learn they also replaced skylights. I had 3 large 4x4 bubble skylights that needed to be replaced. Mufid recommended replacing with Velux Solar Operable Skylights because they were in areas I wanted to ventilate. We just finished the work this week and I have to say the place looks awesome. I didn't realize how dingy the old skylights were making the home. Now I have a new bright space which makes the home look like a brand-new home. The entire process from start to finish was flawless. I couldn't be happier with the Solabrite team. Highly recommend them to anyone. Thanks again! read more

It was easy to make an appointment. Miguel came out to check out the ceilings to give me a quote for several solatubes. Alex walked me through the quote and was scheduled on the day of my request. Looking forward to having a brighter home! read more

Absolutely fantastic service! All the way from the office management team to the installers a great experience. We had one of the longest more complex skylights they ever had to install so they came out and re measured several times to be certain they got it right. Total professional treatment from everyone involved. The skylight itself is beautiful , pristine. I would highly recommend this company! read more

I had two skylights that needed replacing and also wanted to remove/patch up a third skylight that's no longer in use. First of all, it is SO difficult to find anyone who specializes in skylights and who's willing to come out quickly to give estimates. I had someone who gave a quote and then realized only on the day of starting work that I needed custom skylights. Mufid was quick and professional. Though we had a scheduling hiccup initially, his team apologized and made up for it. When the work was scheduled, Mufid and team showed up on time and did the work well. I'd recommend them to anyone who's looking for reliable service read more

From the initial meeting with Mufid over a leak in a 40 year old skylight the service received from Solabrite could not have been better or more professional. Decided to replace all four skylights ... From placing the order, purchasing at a fair price, scheduling the replacement date, and ultimately the installation could not have been easier.

I had two solar tubes installed and a whole house and attic fan. I was impressed with the technology, the service, and the installation of all four products by the Solabrite installation consultant, Ken Fairbrother. He was organized, professional, and efficient. The two solar tubes remarkably changed my two darkest rooms and the customer communication, scheduling, estimates, and show room displays were all excellent. Thank you. read more

If you have a dark room or dark corner and want to brighten it up, consider Solatube. The inventor of the product referred me to Solabrite--the local seller and installer. I have two dark areas of the house--one in an addition that only has north facing windows. The Solatube made a huge difference, more light than adding a couple of lamps, and it is sunlight! Added bonus--moonlight gets diffused through the tube as well. The local company was very easy to work with, helpful, informative, efficient, and personable. I have only had the product for a few days, but it has already improved my quality of life. Now planning on a second Solatube for the other room. There is currently a tax credit--icing on the cake. . read more
