Skylight Installation in Tarzana & Woodland Hills, CA
Tarzana and Woodland Hills sit at the western end of the San Fernando Valley, where the 101 curves south toward the coast. These are mature, well-established suburban communities with a mix of tract homes from the 1960s and 70s, custom construction in the hills, and gated communities that have developed over the past few decades. Hollywood Skylights serves homeowners throughout both communities.
Tract Homes and Ranch-Style Construction
The Valley floor neighborhoods in Tarzana and Woodland Hills have a high concentration of low-pitched ranch-style homes — exactly the roof type that’s easiest to work with for skylight installation. These homes often have dark kitchens, hallways, and bathrooms that can be dramatically improved with a well-placed skylight. We install Velux fixed and venting skylights on these homes routinely, and we can usually complete a standard residential installation in a single day.
Custom Homes in the Hills
The gated communities and custom homes in the hills above Ventura Boulevard — Mulholland Estates, El Caballero, and the streets along Las Virgenes — often feature tile roofs, higher ceilings, and open floor plans that work beautifully with larger skylight systems. We fabricate custom curb assemblies for tile roofs and can spec motorized venting units for great rooms where manual operation isn’t practical.
Heat Considerations in the West Valley
The West Valley gets consistently hotter than coastal and hillside neighborhoods — summer temperatures above 100°F are common. We spec low-SHGC glazing on south- and west-facing skylights to minimize heat gain, and we recommend motorized venting units in spaces like kitchens and bedrooms where heat management matters. Getting the glass spec right makes the difference between a skylight that adds comfort and one that makes a room unbearable in August.
