Different Types of Skylights and Their Cleaning Needs

  • Fixed skylights need less frequent cleaning but require careful attention to seals. These common residential installations collect dirt and debris around edges where leaks can form.


  • Vented skylights with opening mechanisms need more detailed cleaning. We pay special attention to hinges, motors, and weather stripping that can collect grime and affect operation.


  • Tubular skylights, popular in smaller spaces, have unique cleaning requirements. Their narrow design means special tools are needed to reach through the tube without damaging reflective materials inside.


  • Dome skylights, often found in commercial buildings, require industrial-grade cleaning solutions and equipment. Their large surface area collects more dirt and may need more frequent attention, especially in areas with heavy tree coverage or pollution.

Skylight Cleaning Services Offered

Interior and Exterior Skylight Cleaning

We tackle both sides of your skylights for complete clarity. Our interior cleaning process removes dust, cobwebs, and smudges that block precious sunlight from entering your home. We use specially formulated, non-toxic cleaners that won't damage surrounding ceilings or walls. For exterior cleaning, we safely access your roof and remove stubborn debris, bird droppings, pollen, and environmental buildup. Our soft-wash techniques prevent damage to delicate skylight materials and seals.

Skylight Inspection and Maintenance

Beyond cleaning, we thoroughly inspect your skylights for potential issues. Our technicians check for leaks, seal deterioration, and damage that could lead to bigger problems. We document our findings and provide you with maintenance recommendations to prevent costly repairs. For minor issues, we can often perform spot repairs during our service visit. Regular maintenance twice yearly keeps your skylights functioning properly and extends their lifespan. We can establish a maintenance schedule that works with your needs and budget.

Post-Construction Skylight Cleaning

New construction or renovation projects leave skylights covered in dust, paint splatter, adhesive residue, and construction debris. Our post-construction cleaning service restores your skylights to pristine condition. This detailed service requires extra attention, as construction residue can be particularly stubborn and potentially abrasive. Our technicians are trained in proper techniques to prevent scratching or damaging your new skylights. We coordinate with your construction timeline to ensure skylights are cleaned when other dust-producing activities are complete.

Skylight Repair and Restoration

We specialize in fixing damaged skylights to restore their functionality and appearance. Common issues we address include cracked glass, broken seals, and damaged frames. Our technicians are trained to work with all major skylight brands and models. If your skylight has foggy glass or condensation between panes, we can often restore it without full replacement. This saves you money while improving light quality. We also fix hardware problems like stuck operators and damaged hinges. These repairs help your skylight open and close properly for better ventilation.

Sealant Application and Leak Prevention

Leaky skylights can cause serious damage to your home. We provide professional sealant application to create a watertight barrier around your skylights. We use only premium sealants designed specifically for skylights. These products resist UV damage and remain flexible through temperature changes. Regular maintenance prevents costly water damage to your ceiling, insulation, and interior walls. We recommend sealant inspection every 2-3 years to catch potential issues before leaks start.

Skylight Enhancement and Treatments

We offer several treatments to improve your skylight's performance and efficiency. Our UV-blocking films reduce harmful rays while still allowing natural light to enter your home. Energy-efficient coatings help regulate indoor temperatures by reducing heat gain in summer and heat loss in winter. This can lower your energy bills and make your home more comfortable. For skylights in direct sunlight, we provide tinting services to reduce glare and heat. This is especially useful in home offices, living rooms, and other spaces where screen visibility is important.

Factors Influencing the Pricing

The size and number of skylights in your home significantly affect the total cost. Larger skylights require more time and cleaning solution, naturally increasing the price. The roof's pitch also plays a crucial role - steeper roofs require additional safety equipment and time, which impacts the final cost.


Accessibility is another major factor. Skylights that are difficult to reach may require special equipment or additional team members. The current condition matters too - heavily soiled skylights with years of buildup will need more intensive cleaning than those maintained regularly.


The type of roof material surrounding your skylights must also be considered, as different materials require different cleaning approaches and precautions.

Safety Measures and Certifications

Your property's safety and our team's wellbeing guide every service we provide. All our technicians complete comprehensive skylight cleaning certification programs covering safety protocols, material identification, and proper cleaning techniques.


We carry full liability insurance and worker's compensation coverage. Our safety record speaks to our commitment to proper training and equipment. Our team members receive regular safety training updates to stay current with industry best practices. We're proud to maintain memberships with professional cleaning organizations that emphasize safety standards and professional development.
