Skylight Installation & Repair in Westwood
Westwood occupies a premium corner of the westside — adjacent to UCLA, bordered by Bel Air and Century City, and filled with residential streets of 1930s and 1940s homes in styles that reflect the architectural preferences of that period: Tudor Revival, Spanish Colonial, and Transitional California homes with quality original construction. Hollywood Skylights has served Westwood for over 20 years.
Housing Stock and Typical Projects
The 1930s and 1940s homes throughout Westwood share characteristics with similar construction across the westside — quality original framing, composition shingle or clay tile roofs depending on style, and interior rooms that can be dark by design. Spanish Colonial homes with tile roofs require the specialized flashing work we do throughout Los Feliz and Pasadena. Tudor homes often have complex rooflines with multiple hips and valleys that require careful assessment before cutting any opening. Westwood has also seen significant ADU construction in recent years, particularly garage conversions serving the UCLA-adjacent rental market. ADU skylights are a frequent project — they solve the natural light challenge in compact floor plans where windows may be limited by setback or privacy constraints.
Coastal-Adjacent Climate
Westwood’s westside location puts it in a moderate marine-influenced climate — cooler and less prone to heat extremes than the Valley or Pasadena. Solar heat gain is less of a concern here than on the inland side of the hills, which means a wider range of glazing options are appropriate without necessarily requiring maximum low-SHGC specification.
