Skylights for Imperial Beach homes, done by licensed San Diego County technicians. Skylights are the single hardest window to reach on the house, which is why they usually get forgotten until the light coming through them has gone from white to grey.

How does Imperial Beach's climate affect this service?
Imperial Beach southernmost coastal city in the county with full ocean salt exposure plus afternoon onshore wind that drives salt and fine debris onto exterior glass continuously; older beach bungalow stock west of Seacoast Drive carries 50+ years of accumulated salt buildup on original aluminum frames. Coastal skylights collect salt haze that diffuses incoming light into a grey cast.
How do you reach skylights on a steep roof?
Anchored safety harness and a roof-access plan. We evaluate every roof before we walk it, pitch, tile condition, age of the shingles. If the roof is too steep or fragile to walk safely, we tell you and find another path (an extendable water-fed pole from the ground can sometimes reach).
Won't you break a tile or damage the roof?
We distribute weight carefully with foam pads on walkable areas and stay on the roof only as long as the job needs. Concrete tile, clay tile, asphalt shingle, and foam roofs all have different walking rules. If we think walking the roof isn't safe for it or us, we don't do it.
