A square is 100 sq ft of roof surface — bigger than the floor plan because of pitch and overhangs.

M&M Skylights is a Newton company that does one thing above all: skylights — installation, repair, solar tubes, and the motorized blinds that go with them. Its Thumbtack profile shows nine years in business and 47 hires, and Houzz lists it as a VELUX Signature Skylight Specialist. The story splits sharply by platform. On Thumbtack the company holds 4.4 stars across 40 ratings, and the written praise is specific: a 2020 customer described a skylight replacement on a third-floor roof with difficult access and planned to hire them again, while 2019 reviewers — who name Scott and Tim — found the crew prompt and professional on baseboard and chair-rail carpentry. On Angi and HomeAdvisor the picture inverts: both show 2.3 stars from three ratings, two of them one-star. The complaints share a theme worth taking seriously: deposits. A 2021 HomeAdvisor reviewer warned flatly against giving a down payment, and a 2024 reviewer described a disastrous experience that began with a 50% deposit paid on-site. The one review from this summer is milder but points the same direction — "price was not what i expected." Not every account reads that way: a 2019 customer called the chair-rail work reasonably priced, though the same review said the finished job wasn't quite worth the money. For an awkward skylight job, the Thumbtack history suggests this crew knows the work. Before signing anything, get the total price and the deposit terms in writing, and confirm the schedule. Thumbtack lists a Construction Supervisor licence and a background check, and Houzz describes the company as licensed and insured — those are the directories' claims, so ask for the licence number and check it with the state before you pay a deposit.
price was not what i expected
A Disastrous Experience with M&M Skylights – Proceed with Caution I recently had a highly disappointing and frankly, disastrous experience with M&M Skylights that I feel compelled to share. My journey began with a straightforward process; I paid a 50% down payment during an onsite sales visit, where measurements were taken for a new skylight installation in my bedroom. However, this initial promise of professionalism quickly turned sour on the scheduled day of installation. To my dismay, the installers proceeded based on the initial measurements without re-verifying them. This critical oversight led to a shocking discovery - a dormer and valley on my roof obstructed the designated skylight area, making the installation impossible. But not before they had already cut through my bedroom wall and opened up the roof, leaving me with significant, unintended structural alterations to my home. M&M Skylightsâ response was to patch up the roof and replace the interior wall, leaving the onus on me to handle all the finishing work, including spackling and painting. The situation escalated further when the sizable presence of six M&M vehicles on my property drew the attention of the local building inspector, who identified that M&M had failed to pull the necessary permit for the work. This oversight resulted in a stop work order being publicly posted on my house. While M&M Skylights did refund my deposit in full, this gesture hardly compensates for the inconvenience, time, and stress this ordeal has cost me. From missing work to dealing with town regulations and the physical labor required to rectify the damages to my home, the fallout from this experience has been extensive. This entire fiasco could have been easily avoided with proper planning, appropriate site preparation, and basic due diligence in measurement verification. My experience with M&M Skylights has been nothing short of a complete disaster, costing me not just financially but also in terms of time and peace of mind. I strongly advise against using M&M Skylights. While mistakes happen, the lack of foresight, professionalism, and accountability in my case shows a failure in their basic operational standards. Consider taking your business elsewhere to save yourself from a potentially similar ordeal.
Scott is a crook! Do not hire him and definately don t give him a downpayment
Yes, I recommend this pro
M&M took on a challenging job (skylight replacement on a third floor roof with difficult access) and did stellar work. Highly recommend them and plan on using them again for another project!
