Horizontal glass accumulates salt film and marine layer deposits faster than vertical windows. A skylight facing the Pacific collects overnight marine layer calcium on a flat surface where gravity keeps it. In SC, skylights can lose 40–60% of their light transmission before the haze becomes obvious to occupants.
We clean exterior glass with purified water from roof-safe access, and interior glass from inside. Frame channels are cleared and seals are inspected during every clean.

HOW IT WORKS
Skylight Cleaning — Step by Step
Roof Access Assessment
We assess skylight type, roof pitch, and access requirements before quoting. Fixed, vented, or tubular — each type has specific cleaning needs and access considerations.
Exterior Salt Haze Removal
Marine layer deposits and salt film coat skylight glass from the exterior. Pre-rinse removes loose particulate before contact cleaning. Purified water final rinse — no new deposits left.
Interior Glass Clean
Interior skylight glass cleaned from inside. Condensation residue, dust, and light-diffusing film buildup removed. Interior cleaning restores the full light transmission.
Frame & Seal Check
Frame channels and seals inspected during cleaning. We note any cracking, separation, or debris in the seal that could indicate a future water penetration risk. Reported in writing.

What Clients Say
“My kitchen skylight had gone from flooding the room with light to barely noticeable. I assumed it was the glass aging. One clean and it was back to its original brightness. Salt haze is invisible until it’s gone.”
Patricia A.
Marblehead, San Clemente
“They bundled skylight and gutter cleaning — one roof access visit, both done. The seal inspection was a bonus I didn’t expect. They found early-stage seal cracking I would have missed until it was a leak.”
Thomas L.
Forster Ranch, San Clemente
“Talega home with three skylights in the main living area. Marine layer had coated them over two years. They cleaned interior and exterior on the same visit. Light levels in that room are transformed.”

Skylight Cleaning in San Clemente — Light Transmission and Seal Maintenance
Skylights accumulate contamination faster than vertical windows because they face upward — gravity collects every particle of salt aerosol, marine layer calcium, pollen, and atmospheric dust that falls from above. Vertical windows shed much of their contamination with rainfall and gravity. Skylight glass collects and holds it. On San Clemente oceanfront properties during marine layer season, a skylight can lose 30–50% of its light transmission without the gradual haze becoming obviously noticeable to occupants who see the same skylight every day.
The seal condition inspection included in every skylight cleaning visit is the aspect of skylight maintenance that most homeowners undervalue until they experience water infiltration. Skylight seals — silicone beads between the glass unit and the frame, and between the frame and the roof flashing — degrade progressively from UV exposure, thermal cycling, and salt air contact. Early seal cracking or separation is visible during the cleaning visit and can be addressed before it causes ceiling water damage. Skylight water damage in San Clemente commonly costs $2,000–15,000 to remediate; seal replacement typically costs $150–400.
Mineral deposits on skylight glass are particularly visible because the horizontal orientation and direct overhead viewing angle make deposits obvious in indoor lighting at all times of day. Tap water at 200–350 PPM drying on a horizontal skylight surface leaves heavy mineral spotting. Purified water at 0–5 PPM dries completely clean — no residue regardless of viewing angle.
Skylight cleaning is most efficiently combined with gutter cleaning and solar panel cleaning in a single roof access visit. Roof access is already staged for gutters — adding skylights in the same visit is 10% less than a separate appointment and eliminates the need for a second roof access event.
