Light Benders

Great experience with Light Benders. Quick and professional and add a ton of light to the space. Love it!
Thank you!

Kellan and the rest of the staff at Light Benders were extremely knowledgeable and went out of their way to ensure our skylight needs were met. I will definitely be recommending them to anyone with skylight needs!

Lightbenders did a great job installing three sun tunnels in my home. They were great communicators, easy to work with, came on time, took care to leave the site clean, and far less expensive than the other bid I got. Highly recommended for sun tunnels!

this was the best experience i had with any contracting company. the skylight is beautiful. thank you so much for the amazing communication along the way!

Light benders installed several skylights in our rather challenging home. The entire process was seamless and the quality of work is exceptional. They were in and out faster than expected and were a joy to work with. This was all in addition to having given us the best pricing we could find in the area. Highly recommend the light benders!!!

I've been considering whether to post this review for some time, and after much thought, I have decided that no homeowner on a budget or otherwise should have to go through an experience like we did. After all, once the hole is in your roof, at least in our case, it can't be undone.

We recently (Fall of 2023) installed a new flat roof system on our 1950s home with exposed T&G celings and decided to add three skylights at the same time as we were told it was an ideal time to do it. We chose Light Benders, a "Certified Signature Skylight Specialist" listed on the Velux website, so it seemed like a good decision. We expected a high-quality experience based on their "credential"; however, what we received was seriously subpar workmanship and some of the worst communication I've ever encountered from a contractor. We ultimately discontinued Light Benders' services halfway through the project.

The major issues (in short):

• Light Benders didn't coordinate well, if at all, with our roofer, interrupting their planned work for an entire day.

• They arrived on installation day with an incorrect skylight and missing other components of for the job.

• Subpar workmanship: Everything felt rushed from the moment they arrived. The cutouts in our exposed hardwood ceiling were unbelievably wavy and inaccurate – one was actually cut too large. They were going to rely on excessive trim work to cover up their sloppy workmanship. (See Photos)

• Their tape pulled shellac off our exposed ceilings and beams in every installation area – and there was never any mention of fixing it. To be fair, it's an old house and far from perfect, but this just added more to what we need to do to the interior. (

• They discarded structural reinforcement concerns noted on the contract without discussion and, in my opinion, shortcut the curb construction, relying on shims to create a slope as opposed to fastening the curbs flat to the roof and adding the slope to the topside. It wasn't even enough slope to shed water – the roofer eventually corrected this.

• They left a mess for us to clean up on the roof and in the yard. Styrofoam bits were everywhere, and there were divots left in the lawn from casually tossing cutouts from the roof.

We canceled plans for Light Benders to do the finishing work after talking to the roofer and really taking in the lack of workmanship we had received over the weekend, there was no way we could let them do any more. They seemed slightly surprised by this but not bothered at all, and they made no inquiry as to why.

I couldn't possibly begin to explain why our experience was so night and day compared to the positive reviews, nor can I envision it ever going any other way with them. Do I have high expectations from contractors? Absolutely. Are they unrealistic? Absolutely not.

After looking at our options, we reached out again to Skylights NW, who had also given us an initial estimate on the project. They stepped in and completed the project without further issues, working around what Light Benders had left us with. Eric, the owner, is professional, communicative, and delivers great work. I wouldn't hesitate for a second to use them again and would encourage anyone else to go this way.

Based on my experience, there's absolutely no way I'd recommend Light Benders – even if the pricing seems better.

Light Benders did a great job fixing our leaking older solo tube. Friendly workers & knowledgeable. Will use them again, next time.

Working with Light Benders was a fantastic experience. They were able to be out within 24 hours to give us an estimate on replacing our skylight. The bid was significantly lower than I expected it to be, and they had it installed just a few days later. The crew was super considerate and professional. Absolutely would recommend and will use again for any future work.

I had a great experience with Kellan at light benders. They installed a skylight for me in no time, and did a great job. It has greatly improved the amount of natural light in my home. Highly recommend!

We had a great experience with Light Benders!

The entire team from the front office to the install crew were incredibly easy to work with through the entire process.

We had two large skylights installed in our living room that open and close and have blackout shades. They even programmed the skylights to operate from our phones as well as remote control!

Left our living room spotless, and only took one day for the entire job.

I was extremely pleased with the entire process. I highly recommend this company and will likely use their services again in the future.

So very happy with their installation of 2."sun tunnels" came on time, very friendly , cleaned up afterwards. Love the amazing light brought into our interior bathrooms !

We had two light tubes installed in the fall. We love them. This winter, we noticed a water leak pooling under the paint in our upper wall, below where the tube light was placed. We instantly thought it had to be a leak graviating from the new installment. Light Benders came out w/in hours of the call, got up on the roof and did a full inspection. Turns out, the leak was coming from the electrical service line that is in between the tube light and the wall. I called to thank them for coming out so quickly and to apologize for having them check their work, which was perfectly installed. I asked if there was a charge for the time they spent looking for a leak and they said, no charge. This company rocks. Super friendly, professional and good pricing. They care about their work and treat their clients right. I know now that if anything were to happen, I can trust them to take care of us. I Can't recommend them enough.

Excellent experience from consultation, acceptance, skylight order, and completion of project within two weeks. Rather than repair our leaking 18 year old open type Velux skylight, we chose a Velux fixed model (FS) with solar shade. With the 30% tax credit, the new unit costs only a little more than repairing the old skylight.
Thank you Kellan, Juan, and Carrie for making it such an easy decision; and for your courtesy and professionalism.

Kellen and the team did a fantastic job!
Great customer service with arranging times to get the quote and scheduling the projects. The installers were professional and kind and they did a fantastic job from start to finish.
We have used Light Benders for three different projects now.
We liked our first set of Solar Tubes so much we had more installed. The second set were extremely tricky because of the drastic sloped roof angle, but they got it done and it looks awesome! The third project was adding skylights to our patio in the back. This project also turned out fantastic!
It feels like a new house with all of the light we have coming in!
I highly recommend Light Benders for all of your skylight and SolarTube needs.

LightBenders has helped bring the sun into our 1950's home - they were professional, respectful, and responsive. While there was a glitch with the initial installation, they promptly looked into the issue, took care of it soon after, and made sure we were satisfied with the end result. I'm very happy with LightBenders, and would recommend them to anyone looking to add an extra sunbeam or two to their living space!

I am pleased with my Light Benders experience from start to finish! Everyone from Carrie in the office, Kellan who came out and estimated the project, to Juan and Philip who completed the work were caring, professional and courteous. I very much appreciate that they kept me informed every step along the way. I highly recommend this group!

Having a source of natural light is a blessing. The kitchen area of our home is centrally located, thus no natural light reaches there. The install of a Velux skylight was a big factor in providing much needed light. I love the remote features, especially the sun shade. Light Benders team did a nice job. The biggest challenges were some communication hiccups and schedule changes on my side, and staff illness. Sometimes you have to be flexible.

I recently spoke with Kellan at Light Benders,
Very professional and great deals. He can match or beat the big box stores. I’m very impressed with his business model.
Thank you

I scheduled installation of 4 sun tunnels. Kelen and Hunter arrived on time. They were very professional and patient with all my questions. They worked quickly and were very experienced with the installation of the sun tunnels and where they should be located in each room. Once they got on my roof they found a couple problems with my roof and actually bought some parts when they went to lunch and fixed my roof! I was so impressed and thankful! Nicest guys ever that I have had working at my house and left it clean like they hadn't been there.
It's been 1 mon since installation and I am so glad I got the sun tunnels. They bring in a lot of light, they're cool looking, perfect installation, saving $$ (hardly turn on bathroom lights now)! Below is pic of bathroom with no windows all the light is from sun tunnel. They just make me happy! Thanks Light Benders!!!

Light Benders not only did a fantastic job, they completed the work within a week from my first contact. I had the darkest living room and now I can read without needing artificial lighting. You can see the difference in the photos. Same basic view looking toward the closed blind. Night and Day! Great people to work with, too.

In 2015 Light Benders installed a wonderful Solatube in our guest bathroom. Before it was pretty dark, now, even on a cloudy day we have light! Excellent job and easy to work with. We are most pleased.

Needed a new exhaust fan installed in my bathroom. They installed the fan and then told me that they could not wire it in. I spent $533 for the fan + install and another $233 for 15 minutes of an electricians work. They never informed me that one of the two workers was not an electrician . Very dissatisfied.

I wanted to wait a couple of months after installation of 3 solatubes and 1 solar attic fan before I posted a review so that I could see how they worked on sunny or cloudy days. I had the solatubes with night lights installed in the kitchen, entry way and my windowless laundry room. I have never had to turn on the light since in my laundry room since the installation. No more not being able to see when heading thru the laundry room to the garage! I do not hear the attic fan at all. They were on time, cleaned up their mess (even asked to go into the backyard as some debri blew off the roof during installation) and completed work ahead of schedule. I am so happy with all the extra light! Thank you.

The team installed three solar tubes in our home. They were prompt, polite, responsive, efficient and left the place spotless. I would definitely use them again

I made an appointment on the online consultation request form. This was confirmed. I took time off work to make sure I was home. No one showed up. I called and the lady who answered the phone told me that the online appointment calendar is not followed and there was no appointment for me and they were planning to take it off their website!
I am appalled by this complete disregard for my time. I was planning on using Solatube because of the product reviews, however now I plan to look at other products because the customer service can only be better than this!

I purchased solar lights from Light Bender’s 6 years ago. I had a problem with one and notified the company. The owner came out the next day to review the situation and had it repaired within 3 hours. I highly recommend this company and love their product.
