Skylights get dirty faster than any other glass in the house and get cleaned less often than any of it. They sit on a horizontal plane, so everything that falls out of the air lands on them and stays. They also sit above the space you look up into, which means the dirt is backlit and far more visible than it would be on a wall.

What this means in Fountain specifically

Elevation and sun exposure

The lowest elevation in our El Paso County coverage at roughly 5,550 feet, which slightly moderates UV compared with Monument or Falcon.

Tree cover and organic staining

Moderate mature cover in the older neighborhoods, minimal in the newer subdivisions.

Local housing stock

A mix of established mid-century homes and newer subdivisions, with high turnover tied to Fort Carson. Move-in and move-out cleaning is a larger share of the work here than anywhere else we serve.

Dust and wind exposure

Wind-driven rain against south and west elevations combines with plains dust to leave a gritty film that needs washing rather than wiping.

Fountain sits at approximately 5,546 feet.

What is included

  • Exterior skylight glass, accessed safely from the roof
  • Interior skylight glass including vaulted and shafted installations

How we do it

  1. 1

    Roof access assessment

    Pitch, surface, and condition determine how we reach it. Some roofs are not safe to walk and we will say so rather than risk damage to the roof or the crew.

  2. 2

    Exterior clean

    Debris cleared from around the frame first, since organic buildup at the edges holds water against the seal, then the glass itself.

  3. 3

    Interior access

    Vaulted ceilings need pole systems and careful staging. Furniture and flooring below get protected before anything goes up.

  4. 4

    Condition report

    We flag cracked seals, failed flashing, or fogging between panes. Skylights are the most common roof leak source, and we are already up there.

What it costs

Priced per skylight, and driven mainly by access difficulty rather than glass size. Steep roofs and vaulted interiors cost more.

We quote Fountain properties before starting, and the number you hear is the number you pay. If something on site changes the scope, you hear about it before we do the work rather than on the invoice.

Skylights questions from Fountain

How often should skylights be cleaned?

More often than your windows, typically twice a year. Horizontal glass collects far more and sheds far less than vertical glass, and there is no rain runoff pattern to help it.

The haze is between the panes, can you clean it?

No. Fog or haze you cannot reach from either side means the insulated glass unit has lost its seal. That is a glass replacement, not a cleaning, and no service can reach it.

Can you clean skylights on a steep roof?

Often, with proper fall protection. Some pitches and some roof surfaces are genuinely not safe to access, and on those we will tell you no rather than take the job.
