Commercial Skylight Replacement on a Metal Roof in Odessa TX

Skylights on a commercial metal roof take a beating over the years - UV exposure, thermal expansion and contraction, and general weathering can leave them yellowed, cracked, or leaking. When a local restaurant in Odessa reached out to us about replacing their aging skylights, we knew exactly what needed to happen.

Here's what we were working with - a large standing seam metal roof with multiple skylights that needed to come out and be replaced with new units. The old ones weren't doing the job anymore. A failed skylight on a commercial building isn't just a nuisance. It's a liability, and for a restaurant, water intrusion near a dining area or kitchen is a serious problem.

We pulled the old units, prepped each opening on the metal roof, and set the new domed skylights into place one by one. Getting the fit right on a metal roof matters. The panels have ridges and seams that have to be accounted for, and every flashing point has to be sealed properly. If it's not done right, you're back up there in a few months chasing a leak.

The crew worked through the whole row methodically - fitting, fastening, and sealing each skylight before moving to the next. That kind of attention to sequence keeps the job tight and minimizes any exposure to the roof deck between removal and install. No shortcuts, no guesswork.

Commercial roofing work like this isn't just about replacing a part. It's about making sure the whole roof system stays intact and watertight when the work is done. That's the standard we hold ourselves to on every job, whether it's one skylight or a whole row of them.
