Skylight Service + Replacement
Upgrade Your Building with Better Light, Better Performance—and No Guesswork
Skylights are one of the most effective ways to bring natural light into commercial buildings—but like any building component, they don’t last forever. Over time, skylights can become inefficient, damaged, or outdated—undermining the very benefits they were designed to provide.
At Daylight Specialists, we help building owners and design teams replace aging skylights with high-performance systems that enhance building performance, improve occupant experience, increase property value, and align with today’s daylighting standards.
Whether you’re dealing with persistent leaks, discoloration, or simply outdated technology, we offer comprehensive skylight inspection, design support, product selection, and installation coordination.
Our skylight inspections and consultations are always free.
Why Replace Your Skylights?
If your building’s skylights are more than 20 years old, there’s a good chance they’re not performing the way they should. And while patching or resealing may seem like a quick fix, outdated systems often lead to recurring issues that compromise your building envelope, occupant comfort, and energy use.
Replacing skylights does more than prevent leaks—it’s an opportunity to reinvest in your building’s performance, appearance, and value.
Key Benefits of Skylight Replacement:
Improved Energy Efficiency
Better Visual Comfort
Increased Daylight Access
Better Employee & Customer Experience
Higher Property Value & Tenant Appeal
Leak Prevention & Long-Term Durability
Modern Skylight Features & Functionality
Today’s commercial skylights have come a long way! New systems come with features that enhance control, comfort, and integration into smart building strategies—especially valuable if you’re replacing decades-old units.
What’s New in Skylight Technology:
- Integrated Shades: Motorized or manual shades allow building occupants to control daylight levels throughout the day—ideal for conference rooms, classrooms, and other dynamic-use spaces.
- Dimming Capabilities: For skylights with integrated lighting systems, dimming lets you balance natural and artificial light for optimal comfort and energy efficiency.
- Built-In LED Lighting: Some units combine skylight and electric lighting into a single system, maintaining consistent illumination even at night or on overcast days.
- Ventilation Options: Venting skylights can improve indoor air quality by allowing natural airflow, helping to regulate temperature and reduce HVAC load—especially in warehouses, gyms, or production areas.
- Smart Controls: Many modern skylight systems are compatible with building automation platforms, enabling centralized or remote control of shading, lighting, and venting.
Upgrading to skylights with these features enhances the usability and comfort of your space, supports wellness initiatives, and adds long-term value to your facility.
Signs It’s Time to replace
Not sure whether it’s time to replace your skylights? Here are some of the most common indicators:
- Visible yellowing or discoloration
- Cracks, crazing, or glazing delamination
- Condensation around the frame or between glazing layers
- Recurring roof leaks around skylights
- Outdated single-pane or non-thermally broken units
- Excessive heat or glare from direct sun
- Loss of daylight performance over time
Even if the signs are subtle, we recommend having an expert assess the system—especially if your roof is due for repair or replacement.
Roof Replacement Is the Perfect Time to Upgrade Skylights
Replacing your building’s roof? That’s the ideal time to evaluate your skylights.
Many skylight failures result not from product issues, but from poor integration with roofing systems. Replacing both at the same time helps ensure watertight performance and long-term durability—while saving time and labor costs down the road.
We work with contractors and roofing teams to coordinate skylight installation with your new roofing system, ensuring flashing integration, curb compatibility, and manufacturer warranties are all maintained.
Choosing the Right Skylight System
Not all skylights are created equal. At Daylight Specialists, we offer design and installation services of modern, code-compliant solutions from leading manufacturers, including VELUX and Kingspan Light + Air. We help you choose the right product based on:
- Roof type and pitch
- Interior ceiling configuration
- Desired light levels and visual comfort
- Thermal and energy performance goals
- Aesthetic and budget priorities
From unit skylights and barrel vaults to custom structural glazing, we’ll guide you through the selection process with an emphasis on long-term performance—not just quick fixes.
We also offer skylight-to-Solatube conversions where tubular daylighting devices (TDDs) may provide a better solution for smaller, deep, or glare-sensitive spaces.
