The work was quick and looks fantastic. This was a huge improvement to our home!! **★★★★★ — Rhonda Farney, May 2018** > It was so easy to have a couple of SolarTubes added to the bathrooms in our total gut renovation. It’s incredible at how much light they add as well as beauty and style. The price was affordable and installation was quick and totally exclusive. **★★★★★ — Cameron Hovious, Feb. 2016** > Solartex installed a tube skylight in my kitchen. Scheduling and installation were easy and I love the skylight! It brings in a remarkable amount of light and was much more affordable than a traditional skylight. The company even saved a coupon for me to use to help me stay in budget. **★★★★★ — Kristen James, AIA, WELL AP + LEED AP, Feb. 2016** > SolarTex was recommended to me by a local contractor and they exceeded my expectations. I'm an architect and am very particular about the exact placement from the exterior (roof line view) to the interior ceiling location - and everything was installed exactly as planned. They were prompt, courteous, and quoted a very fair price. I would absolutely use them again. **★★★★★ — mamakay8, July 2015** > Ours was installed today, and it showers our living room with daylight. Love it! Rory was professional and friendly, and there was NO mess. Ron gave us knowledgeable advice to make our choices. Highly recommend this company! **★★★★★ — texasaba, May 2015** > We are extremely pleased with the performance of the 4 solar tubes installed in our home recently. They brighten up the areas as we envisioned. The installation was not intrusive. The areas were cleaned afterward. Nice job! **Comment from SolarTex:** > Thank you so much for the great review. We're so happy you're pleased with the product. It won't be long before it pays for itself! Thanks again for choosing SolarTex. > -Molly (& The whole SolarTex team) **★★★★★ — Doug Teague, April 2015** > I'm very impressed with SolarTex. From their showroom in Austin to their displays at the home and garden shows. Everyone I've met has been friendly, knowledgeable and professional. I have been thinking about getting a quality solar powered roof fan and I finally have it. Jake showed up, explained to me what he was going to do and off he went. The fan was installed professionally and it installs fairly quickly. From now on, I will be saving money on cooling my home in the summer for free. My carbon footprint will shrink even more when I install the two SolarTubes that I asked Jake to quote me on when he was here. I've very impressed and now I know the best time to install a SolarTex product is yesterday. If you've been thinking about it, do it. You will not be sorry. > > Doug Teague **Comment from SolarTex:** > Thank you so much for this positive review! We're so glad you had a great experience... and we look forward to working with you more! > > -Molly & the SolarTex team **★★★★★ — azteca60, April 2015** > SolarTex is awesome! We love the products they offer and more importantly the customer service and work they provide. Lovely people. Estimator, Installers all were gentlemen as well as very professional. We strive to be 'green' and ST is an amazing way to help achieve the goal. We have already ordered the Indow Window product and can not wait until they arrive. We are also looking into solar tubes with ventilation fans for our bathrooms. **Comment from SolarTex:** > Thank you so much for a great review! We're really happy you had such a positive experience with SolarTex. :) > -Molly & the whole SolarTex team **★★★★★ — Austin Classic Homes, March 2015** > Solar Tex provided us excellent service installing the sun tunnel for our client. Very dependable and attentive to detail. > I will be using them on my next project. **Comment from SolarTex:** > Thank you so much for your review, Joel! We're glad you're happy with the Solatube Daylighting System! :) > -the SolarTex team **★★★★★ — CG&S Design-Build, April 2013** > We’ve worked with SolarTex on many occasions where they’ve installed the Solatube products. The Solatube product line has many appealing and clever options, and allows us to bring daylight into dark interior spaces in a beautiful and energy-efficient way. SolarTex has been great to work with: clean, timely and efficient installations are what they consistently deliver. > > Gregory Thomas, AIA - Senior Project Architect **Comment from SolarTex:** > Thanks for your review Gregory!
