Hail Damaged Custom Skylight and the Solution.

The large skylight has suffered from hail damage.

Back in 2021, we provided the owners with an estimate to repair their skylight, but they went with a another company. Now they are having issues with the skylight and asked us to give them another bid. They accepted our MAGS Bar bid using low e3 insulated glass units..

The skylight has seen better days.

Most of the plastics used in economical skylights have a difficult time with the violent hail storms along the Front Range. The solution? Dual pane insulated glass units.

knowledgeable, courteous, prompt and efficient

The project was complicated from the start by the fact our existing skylights were non-standard sizes. Further complications arose when an existing solar installation had to be worked around. Throughout the sales and install process, the folks we interacted with were knowledgeable, courteous, prompt and efficient. We’ve had the new skylights for several weeks now and really like them. I would recommend Skylight Specialists to anyone looking to install and/or upgrade their skylights.

The replacement process:

The skylight nearly touched solar panels on the roof. Fortunately, removing a couple of the panels to provide access to the roof around the skylight opening was not difficult.

The MAGS Bar clamps the glass units between neoprene gaskets on perimeter and intermediate bases and on the pressure bar. Condensation gutters transfer moisture to the exterior. A beauty cap hides the ugly screws and provides another level of weatherproofing..

The Skylight:

  • Custom engineered MAGS Bar skylight.
  • Custom engineered aluminum flashing.
  • Class 1 black anodized finish.
  • Approx. 7-foot by 8-foot.
