The skylights are cracked, leaking and seriously obsolete.
The 40 year old skylights are in dire need of replacement. They allow heat to escape in winter and create a hot and humid greenhouse atmosphere in the summer. Our skylight specialist explained how this could be changed using low e3 glass, venting skylights. Our bid was accepted.

grateful we didn’t wait another year
Our 1983 built home had the original dome shaped acrylic skylights that allowed for great sunlight to pour in to our top floor, but they were seriously inefficient – allowing heat to escape in winter and creating almost a greenhouse effect in summer. Allison was great in explaining what products would help with this problem. She came out to evaluate our windows and how her team could access the roof for replacement skylights. The installation team was very impressive -thorough, tidy, very respectful of their work space and our home. They completed all three windows in one day and my family noticed the difference immediately. Our central AC is no longer competing with the heat generated by those dome windows. And on cooler nights the remote controlled windows immediately allow extra heat to quickly escape. The climate control and energy efficiency of these windows makes me wish we had done this last summer, but grateful we didn’t wait another year before investing in this upgrade. Thank you Skylight Specialist, Inc.
The benefits of a modern skylight upgrade are many.
- Modern low E3 glass is remarkably sophisticated—letting in plenty of light and blocking the majority of the sun's heat.
- Remote controlled solar operated venting skylights will produce a chimney effect by drawing in fresh air through open windows and expelling hot air out the roof.
- This can create a significant reduction in AC use.
