The last storm sent a tree branch through the skylight... all in all not much to complain about because it could have been much worse.
The skylights are milgard circa 1980, flat panel with black anodized aluminum frames and measure roughly 24 x 60. Series 750 is the most similar.
What I thought would be as simple as ordering a new tempered double pane glass might be simple... but the cost of the glass from the local shops is over $800
The other option is to have a new cap made by milgard... they no longer sell to the public here in Washington... have to go through a dealer.
The cost for a new cap is about $900...
The above includes installation because none of the shops I have contacted will sell over the counter...
I've put in a couple of skylights over the years... mostly velux or a long time ago, the really inexpensive plexi-doom style.
Any suggestions from glass guys or roofers?
