ViewLux Construction in Woodland Hills, CA | Mason Remodeling Co Woodland Hills
We provide independent ViewLux skylight and sun tunnel service across Woodland Hills, from flatland ranch homes north of Ventura Boulevard to steep hillside properties south of it. We are not a manufacturer-authorized dealer, and we do not pretend to be. What we are is a crew that has spent years pulling apart ViewLux units on Woodland Hills roofs and learning exactly how this valley’s heat, wind, and hillside drainage wear them down faster than anywhere else in Los Angeles. If you need ViewLux work done here, call (831) 290-6866 and we will tell you straight what it takes.
Our ViewLux work sits inside a full construction company, which matters more than people expect. A skylight leak is rarely just a skylight leak. It is flashing, underlayment, roof deck, and sometimes framing. Because we handle roof repair, roof replacement, and specialty roofing alongside ViewLux service, we fix the whole problem instead of pointing at the part we do not touch. More on ViewLux sales & service and how we approach the brand across the region.
Why Woodland Hills Residents Choose Us for ViewLux Service
Most roofing crews in the Valley see skylights as an afterthought, something to flash around and move on from. We treat ViewLux units as a system that has to survive Woodland Hills summers, Santa Ana seasons, and the occasional hillside drainage surprise. Isaac Pruett, our owner, grew up in Los Angeles and learned his trade at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College before putting in years across the Valley, including long stretches near Warner Center and the surrounding Woodland Hills neighborhoods. He teaches every tech the same thing: read the roof before you touch the skylight.
Every crew member arrives in a clean marked uniform, shows a photo ID badge at the door, and is introduced by name and photo before the visit. That is our Threshold Standard, and it is how we work in Woodland Hills service area homes every day. We carry OEM ViewLux flashing kits, controls, and replacement domes when the manufacturer still supplies them. When a unit is discontinued, we tell you honestly and offer tested aftermarket options with clear repair-versus-replace guidance.

Common ViewLux Construction Problems We Solve in Woodland Hills
- Cracked or crazed acrylic domes on fixed skylights. Woodland Hills routinely tops 100°F in summer, and the acrylic on older ViewLux fixed units expands and contracts through thermal swings that flatland and coastal skylights never experience. After years of those cycles, the dome crazes, then cracks. We see it most on south-facing hillside slopes.
- Fogged glass from failed thermopane seals on FCM units. The ViewLux FCM Self-Flashing Skylight uses a sealed double-pane lens. Intense afternoon sun on south-facing Woodland Hills hillsides stresses that seal until moisture gets between the panes. The fog never wipes off, because it is inside the glass.
- Jammed or slow electric vents on VSE skylights. The ViewLux VSE Electric Venting Skylight opens on a motorized track. Santa Ana winds drive fine grit and dust into that track, and after a few windy seasons the mechanism binds or the motor burns out fighting the debris.
- Leaks around ViewLux flashing kits on steep zero-lot-line roofs. Many Woodland Hills hillside homes have steep pitches and tight setbacks where water moves fast and wind drives rain sideways. If the original flashing was not set for hillside drainage, water finds its way under the curb and into the ceiling.
- Sun Tunnel condensation and tube seal failure on raised-foundation ranches. The ViewLux Sun Tunnel is popular on 1950s and 1960s ranch homes here, but raised foundations mean unconditioned attic space. Big temperature differences between attic and living space cause condensation inside the tube, and over time the tube seams fail.
ViewLux Service in Woodland Hills: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Here is something you will not read on a generic skylight page. Woodland Hills is one of the few Los Angeles neighborhoods where the combination of extreme Valley heat and the Ventura Boulevard hillside frost line puts skylight acrylic and polycarbonate through thermal swings of over 100°F in a single season. A dome that hits 110°F on an August afternoon and then drops near freezing on a January hillside night is a dome under constant stress. That is why we replace more crazed and cracked ViewLux domes in Woodland Hills than we do anywhere else we work. Coastal skylights fade. Valley skylights crack. The material science is not complicated, but it is specific, and it changes how we spec replacement domes and how we advise homeowners on which ViewLux models will actually last on their roof orientation. If your home sits on a south-facing slope south of Ventura Boulevard, we will tell you to expect more thermal stress than a flatland ranch on the north side, and we will price and spec accordingly.
ViewLux Models & Products We Service in Woodland Hills
We work on the ViewLux FCM Self-Flashing Skylight, the VSE Electric Venting Skylight, the Solar Powered “Fresh Air” Skylight, and the Sun Tunnel Tubular Skylight in both 10-inch and 14-inch sizes. Our parts approach is straightforward. We install OEM ViewLux flashing kits, controls, and replacement domes when available, because skylight dimensions and curb profiles are model-specific and aftermarket flashing rarely seats correctly. For motors and electronic controls on discontinued ViewLux venting units, we use tested aftermarket components and give you honest repair-versus-replace guidance based on roof age and surrounding deck conditions. We keep common ViewLux flashing sizes and dome profiles in local stock so Woodland Hills turnaround does not stall waiting on a distributor.

AfterViewLux Service Pricing in Woodland Hills
Pricing is written down before any work starts, on every job. Not a verbal estimate that grows on the final bill. A written price. That is how this company has operated since 2004, and it is never waived. What drives ViewLux service cost in Woodland Hills is roof pitch, access, and how far gone the surrounding flashing and underlayment are. A simple dome swap on a low-pitch ranch is one price. A flashing replacement on a steep hillside zero-lot-line roof is another, because material handling and safety setup are different jobs. Our free estimate includes a roof walk, a look at the surrounding deck, and a line-item quote.
| ViewLux Service | Woodland Hills Price Range |
|---|---|
| ViewLux skylight dome replacement | $600 – $2200 |
| ViewLux flashing kit replacement | $800 – $2500 |
| Roof repair around existing skylight | $400 – $1800 |
| Roof replacement with integrated skylight | $8000 – $20000 |
Call (831) 290-6866 for an exact quote on your ViewLux unit. Estimates are free, and the price we hand you is the one on the final invoice.

FAQs – ViewLux Construction in Woodland Hills
Because Woodland Hills sits in a thermal stress pocket. Summer temperatures above 100°F push acrylic domes to their expansion limit, and winter nights near the hillside frost line pull them back. That 100°F-plus seasonal swing works the material until it crazes, then cracks. South-facing hillside slopes get the worst of it. If your dome is cracking, call (831) 290-6866 and we will assess whether a replacement dome or a full unit swap makes sense.
Yes, in most cases. Flashing replacement means lifting the surrounding shingles or tile, removing the old flashing kit, setting a new OEM ViewLux kit, and resealing the underlayment. We do not need to tear out the entire roof section unless the deck underneath is rotted. Woodland Hills hillside homes with wind-driven rain often need this repair before the fall Santa Ana season arrives.
The fog is moisture that got inside the sealed double-pane lens after the thermopane seal failed. Intense afternoon sun on south-facing Woodland Hills roofs speeds up that seal failure. Whether it is worth repairing depends on the lens size and frame condition. Our tech replaced a fogged double-pane lens on a ViewLux FCM at a 1960s ranch on Alhama Drive, where the original aluminum frame had corroded from years of canyon drainage overspray. We trimmed the opening, installed a new OEM curb-mount flashing kit, and resealed the underlayment before the fall Santa Ana season. Call (831) 290-6866 for a repair-versus-replace recommendation on your unit.
Santa Ana winds push fine grit and dust into the venting track on VSE and Solar Powered “Fresh Air” units. The grit binds the mechanism, the motor works harder, and eventually the unit jams or the motor fails. We clean tracks, replace worn motors, and reseal venting units against wind-driven dust. In Woodland Hills, we recommend checking venting skylight tracks every fall before the wind season starts.
We do. Sun Tunnels work well on the 1950s and 1960s ranch homes common across Woodland Hills, including homes on raised foundations. The key is sealing the tube against attic condensation, which is a bigger issue in unconditioned attics with big temperature swings between the attic and living space. We handle the roof penetration, the tube installation, and the ceiling ring so the unit does not sweat or leak. Call (831) 290-6866 for a free estimate on a Sun Tunnel in your Woodland Hills home.
