Manhattan Beach builds tall on small lots — three stories on a 30-foot width is normal, especially on the walk streets. The middle floor almost always ends up dark, and a roof-to-floor light shaft or a well-placed unit over the stair core is usually the only way to fix it.
Free Estimate — Manhattan BeachYes, with a built light shaft. The unit sits at roof level and a finished shaft carries the daylight down through the floor above. Placed over a stair core it daylights both floors at once, which is why the stairwell is usually the first place we look in a three-story Manhattan Beach home.
It affects logistics rather than the work itself. With no vehicle access at the door, materials and debris are staged and carried by hand from the nearest access point. We account for that in the estimate and the schedule rather than treating it as a surprise.
It drives the hardware, not the unit. This close to the water we specify marine-grade stainless flashing and fasteners on every installation. The glazing itself is unaffected; standard galvanized components are what corrode.
