Skylights in Palomar Mountain, CA.
Skylights for Palomar Mountain 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. We bring the right ladder, the right safety gear, and the right solutions to clean tempered glass, dome acrylic, and frosted skylights without scratching them.
Why is skylights different in Mountain San Diego?
Mountain skylights fill with pine needle drift and oak leaf cover. Roof-well clearance before every rainy season keeps the skylight from becoming a funnel for standing water.

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.
