Roof Hatch Installation

What This Service Involves

Rooftop equipment on Puget Sound commercial buildings needs safe access, and a properly installed roof hatch keeps maintenance staff off ladders in the rain. We install insulated hatches with curbs flashed into the membrane so the opening never becomes a leak point. Options include fall-protection railings and safety posts that meet workplace access standards. A quality hatch also seals far better than an old, poorly insulated opening.

Benefits

Safe, ladder-free rooftop access; insulated curbs flashed watertight into the membrane; fall-protection options for worker safety; improved energy sealing over aging openings

Our Process

1) Select hatch size and location for equipment access; 2) Frame and build an insulated curb; 3) Set the hatch and flash the curb into the roof membrane; 4) Add railings or safety posts as specified

What Affects the Cost

Hatch size and insulation rating; curb framing and structural modifications; fall-protection accessories; membrane type and flashing detail

Best Time of Year

Installation can be completed any season, though dry weather keeps the temporary opening protected during the cut-in.
