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 Security-Widefield specifically
Elevation and sun exposure
Around 5,600 feet, similar exposure to Fountain, with strong downslope winds off the front range.
Tree cover and organic staining
Mature cover in the established Security and Stratmoor neighborhoods produces heavy leaf litter in window wells and tracks.
Local housing stock
Predominantly 1960s through 1980s single-family homes, which means original aluminum frames, single glazing, and interior storm windows are all still in service.
Dust and wind exposure
Regular hail and strong downslope wind drive grit into screens and tracks. Screen mesh on homes this age is frequently too brittle to remove safely.
Security-Widefield sits at approximately 5,600 feet.

How we do it
- 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
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
Interior access
Vaulted ceilings need pole systems and careful staging. Furniture and flooring below get protected before anything goes up.
- 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 Security-Widefield 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 Security-Widefield
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.
