About Us
We are T. Barkocy LLC.
No one ever expected a summer job to turn into a multi- generational, family-run business. But, that’s just what happened with our company. As a young man, my father, Gene Barkocy worked a part-time summer job as an apprentice carpenter in his hometown of Treskow, PA. He befriended a veteran roofing mechanic who introduced him to the trade. He continued to work with the roofer during the summers and on break from college, where he was acquiring his business degree. During the same time period, Gene’s brother, Joe, was also supporting himself as a part-time carpenter while he finished up his teaching degree. After college, both brothers entered into their planned vocations, but both continued to work part-time in the home improvement business to supplement their income. Recognizing a need in the marketplace for a reputable, customer-centric competitor, Gene and Joe eventually decided to launch Barkocy Brothers, Inc. (Now T. Barkocy LLC). After graduating from the University of Richmond, I decided to come back to the business. With the business now being passed on to the second generation, I am looking to continue the customer-centric groundwork that both my father and uncle laid years ago. Times have changed in our industry and people are no longer looking for the pushy salesman hocking his "goods" but rather an educated and hands-on installer who knows the products he's installing. Being in the roofing industry for the last 25 years, I've seen the contractors out there who are selling their customers a bill of goods and I've set forth to change that tone. Dealing with VELUX allows me to work with the best skylights in the industry and I'm able to pass my knowledge and expertise along to my customers knowing they've selected Velux because they care about their homes and the products that they install in their homes. Please let T. Barkocy LLC assist you with your next skylight project and you will be more than pleased with our knowledge and service.

Tom was a total professional and a pleasure to deal with during our skylight / roofing project. The workmanship was excellent and we would definitely use Tom again in future projects and recommend him to others.
-
Tom was a pleasure to deal with, extremely knowledgeable and honest. I had a leak in ceiling of my bathroom. I had a roofer come and look at it twice and they finally told me it was the skylight. I called two skylight companies. Tom was one of them. The first company I called gave me an estimate for the skylight over the phone without coming to take a look. Tom came and told me that it wasn’t the skylight at all. There were two areas on my roof that needed repairs. He could have told me that I needed a new skylight as well but he was honest and he saved me money. Contractors like Tom are hard to find. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

Tom Barkocy is the best ! I wish he did everything so that I never had to hire anyone else. My skylight was leaking into the living room. I had 5 companies give me an estimate - all from personal recommendations. Tom was the ONLY ONE who suggested a temporary sealant to try and stop the leak. He didn't know I was going to hire him for the job but he cared enough to do it. And at no charge. His price was very fair and his work is exceptional!
-
EXCELLENT SERVICE! My second time using him… He does an awesome job, quick prompt and reasonable… He replaced one of my skylights two years ago and I called him back for the second one and I couldn’t be happier! If anyone needs any roofing or skylight job/repair , Tom is the guy!!
-
Tom knocked it out of the park from the quote to the replacement. Knowledgeable and answered all my questions. Made it seem effortless replacing the skylight in a day. 100% recommended, would use again.

We recently had the pleasure of working with Tom Barkocy to replace our aging skylights, which were the original ones in our home. From start to finish, Tom's professionalism and attention to detail were truly commendable. He took the time to thoroughly explain the scope of the project, addressing any concerns we had about timing, aesthetics, and functionality. Tom's responsiveness and clear communication throughout the process were incredibly reassuring. The end result exceeded our expectations – the new skylights not only stopped the leaks but also enhanced the overall look of our home. We are grateful for Tom's expertise and would highly recommend him for any skylight replacement or related projects.

Tom was great to work with from start to finish. His communication was clear and he took the time to explain exactly how he planned to complete the project. I would highly recommend for anyone looking for skylight or roof installs/repairs.

We hired Tom to install a skylight in our attic space. Tom was super responsive, came out right away and talked us through everything. We were on a tight schedule and he really worked w us to accommodate us. On the day of the installation, he came bright and early and did a great job. We even had an issue come up in the middle of the job with some electrical wiring in the way, and Tom handled it himself. We are really thrilled with how the space looks now. It’s bright and airy. Thank you! 5/5 stars

I originally found Tom on Angie’s list about 6 years ago when I needed a roof leak patched. He was responsive, professional, and personal (and he did great work), so there was only one number to call when I needed skylights installed. This job was decidedly bigger and Tom handled it with ease. He was honest, personable, reliable, and knowledgeable, providing multiple options and helping guide the process when decisions needed to be made. His work is guaranteed, but I don’t need the guarantee to have faith in the work he’s done. If you have any need for skylights or roof repair, do yourself a favor and give Tom a call.
-
WOULD USE AGAIN! Tom replaced one and remounted another skylight that was installed poorly by another big-time area roofer. His dedication to detail gave us confidence. I fortunately was able to walk my rooftop to inspect the work later that day! Would recommend to friends. Larger companies are only as dependable as their WORST installer that may show up.
-
Installation of the skylights by Tom Barkocy was excellent and I originally provided an excellent review. However, Tom failed to complete the trim and hasn't responded to multiple attempts to reach him by phone, email, Facebook Messenger and a fax. Last October he sent me a note promising to get back to me that day. He didn't. I didn't push for awhile, thinking it might be Covid related, but this is ridiculously poor service. Also, the solar powered skylight he installed in our bathroom hasn't worked for more than a year - making the solar installation a waste of money.

Very hard to find a knowledgeable, professional and most importantly honest contractor - Tom personifies all these qualities. My home has a skylight which we needed to have inspected for potential repair. Of the variety of contractors I reached out to for my skylight inspection, Tom was fantastic. He kept in communication, scheduled / showed up on time, thoroughly inspected the interior / exterior and gave a comprehensive assessment of what needs to be done. He took the time to actual share the basis for his assessment and what potentially needs to be done ( along with what potential windows could be better served for my home & why ). He explained the roofing angles and what type of setup is best for particular roofs. He has great enthusiasm for what he does, someone who genuinely enjoys their craft and providing the best possible services to clients. Highly recommend.
