Skylight Installation & Repair in Silver Lake, Echo Park & Los Feliz

Silver Lake, Echo Park, and Los Feliz form one of the most architecturally layered corridors in Los Angeles — 1920s Craftsman bungalows, Spanish Colonial Revivals, hillside Modernist homes with Neutra and Schindler influences, and dense urban streets that climb and dip unpredictably. Hollywood Skylights has been installing and repairing skylights on the eastside for over 20 years and knows this housing stock well.

Why These Neighborhoods Benefit So Much From Skylights

Craftsman bungalows were designed for shade — deep eave overhangs, wood-framed windows, rooms that stay cool but tend toward dark interiors even on sunny days. Spanish Colonial homes have the same problem, where thick plaster walls and small windows create beautiful architecture that’s often dim by midday. A single well-placed Velux FCM skylight can transform a hallway or rear bedroom that never sees direct light. Hillside homes often create natural candidates for sun tunnels in bathrooms, closets, and stairwells where a full skylight shaft isn’t feasible.

Tile Roofs in Los Feliz

Spanish Colonial homes in Los Feliz almost universally have clay tile roofs — S-tile or flat Mission tile — and that changes everything about a skylight installation. Tiles need to be carefully removed around the opening perimeter, cut to fit at the edges, and re-bedded in the original pattern. The flashing must integrate with the tile without cracking it or creating water pathways. Done correctly, a tile roof skylight installation is virtually indistinguishable from original construction. Done poorly, it leaks at the first significant rain. We’ve done enough tile work to consider it a specialty.

What We Typically Install Here

For Craftsman homes: Velux FCM fixed skylights in smaller formats. For hillside modernist homes: larger units or fresh air models. For Spanish Colonial homes with tile roofs: deck-mounted Velux units with specialized tile flashing kits. For interior spaces without roof access: Velux Sun Tunnels.

Silver Lake Skylight Inquiry

    downtown la skylights Contact us Skylight Installation & Repair in Downtown Los Angeles Downtown LA is one of the most active skylight markets in the city — the adaptive reuse buildings, warehouse lofts, and commercial towers that define DTLA have a long history with industrial skylights, and ongoing neighborhood growth means constant demand for new installations, repairs, and upgrades. Hollywood Skylights has been working in Downtown LA for over 20 years. Loft and Residential Conversions The Historic Core, Arts District, and South Park neighborhoods have a high concentration of former industrial buildings converted to residential lofts — many retaining original sawtooth or barrel-vault skylights in need of serious repair or replacement. We assess and restore original industrial skylight systems where possible, and replace them with modern equivalents where the original units are beyond repair. We understand the character of these buildings and the expectation that the skylight system look intentional, not like a retrofit afterthought. Commercial and Mixed-Use Projects Downtown’s restaurant, retail, and hospitality market is one of the most demanding in the city. We’ve installed custom glass systems in DTLA restaurants and bars where the skylight is a primary design element — in the Arts District, Little Tokyo, and along Grand Avenue. These projects require coordination with architects, interior designers, and general contractors, and we’re comfortable in that environment. High-Rise and Podium Buildings Commercial towers and podium residential buildings in the Financial District and Bunker Hill area often have skylights over lobby areas, amenity decks, and interior courtyards. We work with building ownership and property management on these projects, handling LADBS commercial permits and coordinating with building engineering teams on structural and waterproofing requirements.
