Commercial skylight work is a different animal from residential. The units are bigger, the roofs are flat and often hard to access, and the stakes, leaks over inventory, fire-code compliance, fall-protection liability, are higher. We handle commercial and industrial skylight work across Los Angeles: replacement, glass, domes, smoke vents, and rooftop safety.
What we do for commercial buildings
- Dome and skylight replacement for warehouses, retail, and industrial buildings, the big acrylic domes and glass units that have yellowed, cracked, or started leaking over your floor.
- Custom and architectural glass replacement for failed or broken glass units on commercial skylights and atriums.
- Architectural glass reseal for fogged, seal-failed insulated units on commercial glazing.
- Smoke vent testing and certification, the fire-code-required vents that have to actually work when they are needed.
- High-pile storage compliance, the skylight and smoke-vent requirements that come up when you store inventory high.
- Fall protection and safety screens, meeting the Cal-OSHA requirement to protect workers from skylight fall hazards.
- Roof hatches for safe, secure rooftop access.
One visit, the whole roof
The advantage of bringing in one company for the rooftop glazing and safety scope is that we can look at all of it at once, the skylights, the smoke vents, the fall protection, the hatches, and tell you what needs attention now and what can wait. For a facility manager juggling compliance deadlines, that is one call instead of five.
Who we work with: Property managers, facility managers, building owners, and general contractors. We are comfortable with the realities of commercial work, access, scheduling around operations, and the documentation you need for your records.
How commercial pricing works
Commercial work is scoped per project. If there are building plans to bid from, we work from those. If not, we start with a site visit and a conversation with the building representative about what needs to be done. As the project moves forward we field-measure every opening to confirm scope, and assess roof access, load, and the safety requirements the job will need. There is no flat commercial rate, every roof and every building is different.
How commercial work goes
It starts with a site visit. We get up on the roof, look at the full scope, and put together a written estimate. Commercial units and custom glass are ordered to spec and can take time to fabricate, so we plan the schedule around your operations. We are straight about what is glazing work and what belongs to your roofer.
