Skylight Cleaning

What This Service Involves

Skylights lie flat to the sky and catch everything the roof does, needle debris, moss creep, and a green film that dims the light they're meant to bring in. We clean the glass and clear the surrounding debris that shades and stains the edges. Because skylights sit in the roof plane, we work them safely and pay attention to the seals and flashing while we're up there. Clear skylights make a noticeable difference in how much natural light reaches the rooms below during our darker months.
