Skylight Cleaning in Dacula, GA

Dirty skylights dim the natural light your home was designed to enjoy. We safely clean hard-to-reach skylights inside and out, bringing the brightness back without the risk.

Skylights are one of those features that made you fall in love with your home. Natural light pouring through the ceiling, bright rooms without flipping a switch, that open feeling that makes a room feel twice its size. But here's the thing - if you haven't had your skylights cleaned in a while, you're probably getting a lot less light than you think. Dirt, pollen, bird droppings, tree sap, and general grime build up on the glass over time, and since skylights sit flat or nearly flat on your roof, they collect debris faster than vertical windows do.

Kidd's ProWash cleans skylights for homeowners all across Dacula and Gwinnett County. It's a service most people don't think about because skylights are out of sight and hard to reach. But once we clean them, the difference in natural light is something every customer notices right away. Rooms get brighter. Colors look richer. And that sunny feeling you remember from when the house was new - it comes right back.

Why Skylights Get So Dirty in Georgia

Spring Pollen

That thick, yellow-green dust coats your skylights layer after layer from February through May. Since they're angled or flat, pollen doesn't slide off - it sits there and hardens.

Summer Storms

Rain carries dirt, shingle granules, and pollen residue across the glass. When it dries, it leaves streaks and water spots. Humidity between storms keeps the surface sticky.

Tree Debris & Birds

Homes near trees deal with sap, fallen pollen catkins, leaf debris, and bird droppings baked onto the glass. Pine sap hardens into stubborn spots within days.

Lost Light

The Problem with Dirty Skylights

A dirty skylight doesn't just look bad from the outside - it changes how the inside of your home feels. The whole point of a skylight is to let natural light in. When the glass is coated with pollen, dirt, and water spots, it filters and dims that light. You might not notice it happening because the change is gradual. But if you compare a freshly cleaned skylight to one that hasn't been cleaned in a year, the difference in brightness is dramatic.

Dirty skylights can also make a room feel smaller and darker than it should. If you have skylights in your kitchen, living room, bathroom, or hallway, the reduced light affects the mood of the whole space. You end up turning on lights during the day when the skylight should be doing that job for you. That's wasted natural light and higher electricity costs for no good reason.

On the exterior side, built-up debris on skylights can trap moisture against the frame and flashing, which over time can contribute to leaks. The seal around a skylight is designed to shed water, but when leaves, dirt, and grime build up along the edges, water pools instead of running off. In a climate like ours with heavy summer storms, that pooling water finds its way into every weak spot.

Safety First

Why DIY Skylight Cleaning Is Risky

Risks of DIY Skylight Cleaning

Skylights are on the roof - climbing up is dangerous without training and equipment
Roofs in Gwinnett County are steep and slippery even when dry
Dew and rain make shingles a serious fall risk
Balancing on a slope while scrubbing glass is an accident waiting to happen
Cleaning from inside through a cracked-open skylight can't reach edges or apply enough pressure
Falls from roofs send people to the ER every year

Chase grew up around construction work and understands heights, safety gear, and working on roofs. Our team uses proper fall protection, non-slip footwear, and the right access equipment for every skylight job. We get the cleaning done safely so you don't have to take any risks.

Our Skylight Cleaning Process

We clean skylights inside and out with proper safety equipment and professional tools designed for flat and angled glass.

1

Inspect Glass, Frame & Flashing

We check the condition of the skylight from the outside. If we notice damage, cracks, or seal issues, we give you an honest heads-up before we start cleaning.

2

Remove Loose Debris

We carefully remove leaves, twigs, pine needles, and bird droppings from the glass and frame using proper safety equipment on the roof.

3

Scrub the Glass

We apply cleaning solution and scrub with professional tools designed for flat and angled glass, working the entire pane including edges and corners where grime builds up most.

4

Rinse & Squeegee

We rinse the glass completely and squeegee it clean for a streak-free finish. We also clean the frame and clear debris from drainage channels.

5

Interior Cleaning (Optional)

Interior skylight glass collects dust, cooking residue, and condensation stains. We clean the glass, frame, and trim so the whole unit looks fresh from inside.

Scheduling

How Often Should Skylights Be Cleaned?

Once a Year (Most Homes)

Late spring is ideal - after pollen ends and before heavy summer storms. Clear off spring pollen and start summer with bright, clean skylights.

Twice a Year (Under Trees)

Homes with skylights under tree canopy near Fence Road, Auburn, or Hamilton Mill benefit from a second cleaning since sap, catkins, and leaves pile up year-round.

Add to Window Cleaning

Adding skylights to a full window cleaning visit is the most efficient approach - we're already at your home with all equipment, saving you a separate visit and money.

Bundle & Save

Pairing Skylight Cleaning with Other Services

Skylight cleaning pairs well with several of our other services. If we're already working on your windows, adding screen cleaning and track and sill cleaning to the same visit means every piece of glass and every window component in your home gets attention on the same day. It's the most thorough approach, and most customers prefer doing it all at once.

If your skylights have white, cloudy mineral spots from hard water or rain runoff, those won't come off with standard cleaning. Our hard water stain removal service uses specialized compounds to dissolve those deposits. And for homes that have recently had renovations or additions, our post-construction window cleaning handles the paint overspray, caulk smears, and drywall dust that construction crews leave behind on all the glass, including skylights.

Combine skylight cleaning with screen cleaning, track & sill cleaning, and a full window wash for complete whole-home glass care in a single visit.

Frequently Asked Questions

It depends on how many skylights you have, their size, their location on the roof, and how dirty they are. We give free quotes and will tell you the price upfront before we do any work. Most homeowners in Dacula are pleasantly surprised at the cost, especially when it's added to a window cleaning visit.

Yes. Fixed skylights are actually the most common type we clean. We access them from the roof exterior and clean them right there. If you also want the interior side cleaned, we use extension tools and ladders to reach the inside glass safely.

In most cases, yes - we need to access the skylight from the roof to clean it properly. We use soft-soled, non-slip footwear and move carefully to avoid damaging your shingles. We always follow proper safety protocols and use fall protection equipment as needed.

Dirty skylights themselves don't leak, but the debris that builds up around the frame and flashing can cause water to pool and eventually find its way past the seal. Keeping the area around your skylight clear of debris helps prevent that. We clean the frame and drainage area as part of our skylight cleaning service.

It depends on the number and accessibility of your skylights. A home with two or three skylights usually takes about thirty to forty-five minutes. Homes with more skylights or harder-to-reach locations take a bit longer. We never rush - every skylight gets the time it needs.
