When a catastrophic skylight failure occurred at the Jetty East condominium in Destin, FL, the local general contractor, Seashore Construction, called in Crystal Structures for a solution. A pyramid skylight had detached from the roof structure, inverting into the opening—a serious safety concern that required immediate attention.
The homeowners’ association enlisted a local engineering firm to assess and rehabilitate all 14 skylights on the roof. That’s when Crystal Structures stepped in, presenting an innovative alternative—a superior skylight system designed to withstand coastal winds, enhance efficiency, and reduce overall rehabilitation costs.
Crystal Structures successfully completed the project on schedule, earning high praise from both Jetty East and Seashore Construction.
A Partnership Built on Excellence
Reflecting on the collaboration, Brian Connell of Seashore Construction stated:
“Crystal Structures was a top-notch, professional company to work with on a very complex project—elevated 70 feet in the air over open stairwells. They completed the project within the provided schedule, and we are actively seeking other projects to bring them in on. This partnership is a great one.”
Crystal Structures shares the same appreciation for Seashore Construction, recognizing the teamwork and dedication that made this project a success.
