Round Skylights Take Special Consideration During Skylight Repair

These round skylights are located in the porte cochere for the Disney Marina Hotel. This is the area where you pull up in any kind of weather and unload your vehicle of passengers and cargo. There are beautiful stained glass globes that hang beneath these skylights that “glow” from the natural daylight. Very nice and elegant design.

After consulting with Disney personnel and performing  the survey it was determined that these skylights had basically reached the end of their lifetime and simply needed skylight repair. This work was performed as a typical maintenance issue and did not require additional work on the roof or structure.

Round skylights are typically self flashing skylights. The problem with self-flashing skylights is that they are embedded into the roofing and if are replaced require roofing work.

Additionally, the interior of the curb is round and is either exposed or has interior finish materials attached to it. Therefore, if replacing the entire skylight you also have to take into consideration the interior finish costs.
