Failed Skylight at the Trinity Lutheran Church

church_skylight_replacement

The local church had a failed ridge light skylight above their grand sanctuary that needed some skylight problem solving. They contacted us to examine and determine the best course of action, and after our estimate, we decided it would be best to replace all the skylights.

On top of that, the working conditions were extremely difficult. The rooftop was 40 feet above another roof, and over 60 feet from the floor. The roof was also extremely steep and narrow, limiting our mobility and crew size. The roof also stood above the skylights by several feet, adding to the difficulty. Finally the church had a steel cross mounted to the wall that would not fit through any of the doors. They wanted to save the cross however, and asked for our help.

After a little skylight problem solving on our part, we were able to accommodate every issue and request for the church. After removing the skylights, we lifted the cross out with a crane. Then we prepped the curbs for the new skylights, re-flashed and waterproofed everything, and then replaced all the skylights with new high performance skylights. Now they get more daylight than before, but also better heat control, and less required maintenance on their exteriors, saving them money and time, and most importantly, no more leaks.

The church was thrilled to not only have their daylighting issues fixed, but also that we helped them save their cross without having to cut or alter it.
