Hurricane & Storm-Rated Skylights in Citrus County, Florida
Storm-rated skylights on the Nature Coast
Crystal River sits in Citrus County, where Gulf storm surge and wind-driven rain test every roof opening. A storm-rated skylight is built with impact-resistant glazing (usually laminated glass) and a reinforced frame, and it is tested for wind pressure and, in many cases, flying debris. Work covers replacing an old unit, curb or deck reinforcement, and new flashing tied into the roof.
What to look for
- A Florida Product Approval or Miami-Dade NOA number for the exact model, not just the brand.
- Design pressure ratings that match your roof zone.
- Flashing detail: the leaks usually start there, not in the glass.
- A licensed roofing or general contractor who pulls the permit.

Common questions about hurricane & storm-rated skylights
- How much does a hurricane-rated skylight cost?
- Installed prices commonly run from about $1,500 to $4,500 or more per unit. Size, laminated impact glass, curb work, and interior shaft changes drive the cost. Get written quotes that name the product and approval number.
- How often does a storm-rated skylight need replacing?
- Quality units often last 15 to 25 years. Flashing and sealants may need attention sooner, so have the roof and skylight inspected after major storms and every few years.
- What should I expect during installation?
- Most single-unit jobs take one day. The crew removes the old unit, checks the deck for rot, sets the new frame, flashes it into the roofing, and seals it. A permit and inspection are typical in Florida.
- How can I judge a contractor's quality?
- Verify the license and insurance with the state, ask for the product approval documents, and ask how they flash the unit. Check reviews that mention leaks or storm performance, and get the warranty in writing.
