Daylighting Skylight Assessment & Installation

Daylighting skylights increase interior illumination levels, which can reduce the need for artificial lighting. Installing daylighting skylights requires cutting and opening the existing roofing and structural decking. This necessitates selective demolition and understanding of roof deck characteristics and attachment requirements. Once the skylight is installed, new insulation and roofing flashings are installed around the skylight curb.

Roof Restoration

Depending upon the characteristics and condition of the existing roof assembly, cost-effective roof restoration may be possible.

Industry standard roof restoration warranties range from five to 10 years and can cover material and labor.

• The roof is inspected, and a peel test is conducted
• Additional reinforcement may be installed at seams, fastening location, projections, etc.
• Spot replacement of like materials is executed if existing roofing materials are wet
• The existing roof substrate is power washed before two (or more) coating applications
