SERVICES
New Systems
We offer complete installation services for any commercial skylight system available. We have established relationships with the leading skylight manufacturers, enabling us to provide the best product to meet the required specifications. MEI installers are trained professionals and adhere to the manufacturers configurations and specification, allowing the skylight system to function as designed.
Each new skylight system comes with a number of things to take into consideration during the planning stage. Energy efficiency, water tightness, sound reduction, shading, UV coatings, ventilation and other load and wind resistance are some options to explore. Also, many manufacturers offer high-quality products made from sustainable materials in an effort to protect the environment. Since installing a skylight system is a serious undertaking, we want to make sure you’ll be satisfied with your decision both now and in the future. Partnering with MEI will help guide you through the process to ensure your satisfaction.
Repairs and Replacement
We repair skylights which are damaged as a result of storms, vandalism, environmental decay, natural deterioration, neglect or manufacturing defects. We have the ability to disassemble and rebuild your skylights to like new condition. This includes clearing gutters and weep systems, replacing damaged glazing and other skylight related issues. We take every step to restore your skylight system to its original design.
Common Skylight Problems which may lead to repairs or replacement:
- Improper installation or design flaws
- Weep system or drainage system not being properly maintained
- Natural aging, weather, and climate
- Scratches, abrasions, cracks or other damage
Maintenance
MEI provides a warranty on all installed projects. More importantly, we can also provide a maintenance contract on skylights once we have performed a survey, determined any repairs or replacements and confirmed that the skylights are functioning properly. Mall Owners and Facility Managers rely on our annual inspections to help forecast any future repairs or replacements so they can budget accordingly. Maintenance repairs can include flashing, weep holes, gutters, water penetration, cracks, or vandalism. Our trained staff is on call 24/7 to address any issue with your skylight system.

Consulting
McLaughlin Erectors, Inc. (MEI) has developed an affordable and detailed skylight survey. This unique survey, maps the entire skylight system, assesses each skylight and provides recommendations to correct any inefficiencies. Based upon our findings, MEI can provide a projected budget by year up to a period of five years, for all repairs and/or replacements. In support of the survey, MEI has developed a Skylight Condition Index (SCI) which applies a numerical value to each skylight, ranking each skylight’s condition on a scale from “Critical to Very Good”.
We have hands-on practical experience working with the products of every major skylight manufacturer in the country. We are not agents or representatives of any skylight manufacturer, thus, we are not committed to using just one source allowing us to select the best product for your specified application. In addition, we have a LEED Accredited Professional on staff to answer all your Green building and every cost saving questions.
