Skylight Cleaning
in Austin, TX
Cedar pollen, bird droppings, and hard water deposits dim your skylights season after season. Heritage delivers professional skylight cleaning in Austin — interior and exterior surfaces, safe roof access, and restored clarity in a single visit.
Professional Skylight Cleaning in Austin
Skylights should fill your home with natural light — but not when they're coated in Austin's notorious cedar pollen, bird droppings, and hard water stains. Interior surfaces collect dust, moisture film, and condensation residue over time. The result is a fixture that dims your home instead of brightening it. Heritage Window Cleaning provides professional skylight cleaning in Austin that restores the clarity and brightness your skylights were designed to deliver.

Heritage Skylight Cleaning Benefits
Skylights are a premium feature — they deserve premium care. We treat every Austin skylight with the skill and precision it requires.
Restored Natural Light
Cedar pollen, hard water deposits, and bird droppings can cut your skylight's light output dramatically. A proper clean restores the brightness your skylights were designed to deliver.
Interior & Exterior in One Visit
We clean both the exterior glass (accessed safely from the roof) and the interior surface in a single appointment — no need to schedule separate visits.
Safe Roof Access
Our technicians are experienced with residential roof access. We use appropriate footwear, equipment, and technique to protect your roof, shingles, and skylight seal on every job.
Seal & Frame Inspection
Every skylight is inspected for visible seal deterioration and frame concerns during cleaning. Any issues found are documented and reported to you — no hidden problems.
Hard Water Spot Treatment
Austin's hard water and irrigation systems leave mineral deposits on exterior skylight glass. We treat and remove staining that a standard rinse won't touch.
Locally Owned in Central Texas
We're Austin neighbors who understand cedar season, summer heat, and the hard water conditions that hit skylights harder than any other glass in your home.
Our Skylight Cleaning Process
Free Quote & Access Assessment
We assess your skylight type, roof pitch, and access conditions before quoting. Most Austin residential skylights are fully accessible — we confirm this upfront so there are no surprises.
Schedule at Your Convenience
Book a time that works. We arrive on time and work efficiently — typically completing both interior and exterior surfaces in a single visit.
Exterior Clean from Roof
Using proper footwear and equipment, we safely access your roof and clean the exterior skylight glass — removing cedar pollen, bird droppings, hard water deposits, and film.
Interior Clean from Inside
Interior skylight surfaces — dust, condensation residue, moisture film — are cleaned from inside your home using professional-grade solution and technique.
Inspection & Final Report
Frames, seals, and surrounding surfaces are wiped down and inspected. Any visible concerns are documented and reported to you before we leave.
Austin's Sun Should Light Your Home — Not Be Blocked By It
Austin homeowners install skylights to bring in the area's abundant natural sunlight. But cedar season — running from late December through February — coats exterior skylight glass in a dense yellow pollen film that bakes on under the Texas summer heat. Bird droppings and hard water spots from spring and summer rain add to the buildup until your skylight barely lets light through.
Heritage's skylight cleaning service addresses both sides in a single visit — exterior glass cleaned safely from the roof, interior surfaces cleaned from inside your home. Hard water mineral deposits are treated with specialist solution. Seals and frames are inspected and documented. The result is a skylight that performs the way it was built to.
Frequently Asked Questions
How often should skylights be cleaned in Austin?
Once or twice a year is standard. Spring cleaning after cedar season is especially critical — pollen accumulation on skylights is particularly heavy from February through March in Austin. A fall clean before the holidays keeps them bright through winter.
Can you clean skylights on steep or high rooflines?
We assess each property individually. Most residential skylights in Austin are fully accessible. We will confirm access during your quote if there is a limitation — no charge for the assessment.
Do you clean both inside and outside the skylight?
Yes — both surfaces in a single visit. Interior cleaning is done from inside your home; exterior is accessed safely from the roof. One appointment covers everything.
Will cleaning affect the skylight's seal?
No. We use appropriate pressure and technique specifically to protect the frame seal. Any existing seal deterioration we observe will be documented and reported to you — we never hide damage we find.
Can you remove hard water stains from skylight glass?
Absolutely. Hard water staining from Austin's mineral-heavy water and summer rain on sun-heated glass is one of the most common skylight issues we treat. We apply specialized mineral removal solution to dissolve calcium and lime deposits without scratching or etching the glass.
