Storm Damage

June 2, 2023

NSS Exteriors provides storm damage repairs

Spring is finally here in Chicagoland. With spring comes the increased chance of severe weather and storm damage.

In Illinois, severe weather often brings strong winds, hail, severe thunderstorms, and on occasion tornadoes. It can cause cracked or broken glass, leaking, and damage to roofs and siding.

Don’t trust your home or business to the storm chasers at your door. They make promises and if your insurance doesn’t agree with their assessment they disappear. Or worse, they make hasty repairs and if you have concerns or issues they won’t return your calls. Your home or business is important to you and should be to the company that makes the repairs. You should be able to call someone with your questions or concerns and know the person on the other end is determined to do everything they can to ease your mind and make it right.

What is the difference between a Velux Certified Installer and a Velux Skylight Specialist?

March 22, 2024

As you diligently research companies to install a Velux skylight for your home or business, you may encounter terms like "Velux Certified Installer" and "Velux Skylight Specialist." It's easy to assume that a Skylight Specialist would be the superior choice, but that's not always the case. When it comes to these Velux installer titles, the key distinction lies in the percentage of work dedicated to installing Velux products. A Skylight Specialist or Signature Skylight Specialist company commits to a high percentage of their work involving the selling and installation of Velux products. However, if you examine Velux's website, you'll notice that there aren't many Velux Skylight Specialists. Most companies working with Velux are Velux Certified Installers. VELUX describes a Certified Installer as "a company that focuses on a variety of products as well as VELUX products. This company will have completed VELUX's certification program and will have sufficient knowledge to assist customers in VELUX projects."

Oh no! A leak.

February 15, 2024

Oh no! A leak. You've just noticed a dreaded drip from your skylight. But wait, before you panic, let's consider that it might not necessarily be a leak. Especially if it's cold outside, there's a possibility that what you're experiencing is condensation. Think about that cold can of pop you take out of the fridge on a hot day. After a few minutes, moisture starts to collect on the outside of the can. That's condensation in action. The same principle applies to your windows and skylight. When the relative humidity in the air is too high for the outdoor temperature, condensation forms. So, first things first, check the humidity levels in your space. If it's higher than the recommended amount, consider using a dehumidifier to reduce the moisture in the air. If your humidity is within range or if the drip persists even after using a dehumidifier, then it's time to have your skylight looked at by a professional.
