Question:

Just a quick question about skylights - i'm planning to have a skylight install in my kitchen and am going to contact a few contractor for the installation. My question is what questions should I be asking them?

Answer:

You'll want to know all about warranties and from there its just a matter of configurations because technology has brought these things around to where there should be no leaking question with them at all - that used to be a major consideration.
