Skylight Installation & Repair in Malibu

Malibu homes are built around the experience of living on the coast — dramatic ocean views, open floor plans, and architecture that blurs the line between indoor and outdoor living. Skylights are a natural extension of that design philosophy, and Hollywood Skylights has installed custom glazing systems in Malibu properties for over 20 years, from the Colony and Point Dume to Latigo Canyon Road and the Santa Monica Mountains.

What Makes Malibu Installations Different

Coastal proximity creates real challenges that inland installations don’t face. Salt air accelerates corrosion on aluminum frames, and Malibu’s wind exposure — particularly in the canyons — means we prioritize units with high wind ratings and robust flashing systems. We use marine-grade sealants and specify units with anodized or powder-coated frames that hold up to coastal conditions over the long term.

Many Malibu properties also have complex roof geometries — multiple pitches, living roofs, or post-and-beam construction where standard curb details don’t apply. We design and fabricate custom curb systems when off-the-shelf solutions won’t work, and we collaborate with your architect or contractor when the skylight is part of a broader renovation.

High-End Skylight Systems for Malibu Homes

Our most common Malibu projects involve large-format fixed glass systems — custom double-pitched units over great rooms, linear skylights over kitchen islands, and multi-unit configurations that bring daylight deep into open floor plans. We also install motorized venting skylights with rain sensors, ideal for Malibu’s indoor-outdoor lifestyle — open when it’s clear, closing automatically when marine layer rolls in.

Title 24 and Coastal Commission Considerations

Malibu sits in California Climate Zone 8 or 9 depending on elevation and proximity to the coast. We spec glass to meet SHGC compliance without sacrificing visible transmittance. For Coastal Commission properties, skylight work on existing roof planes typically does not trigger a CDP — but we can advise on your specific situation.
