The Rusty Scupper, a well known restaurant in the Baltimore, MD (Inner-Harbor) area had a skylight that was failing due to age and was leaking on its customers. Acurlite Structural Skylights was contracted as a General Contractor by the Rusty Scupper’s Owner to replace the existing skylight with a new more appealing skylight while the business continued to stay open. The scope of work included the complete removal and replacement of the existing wood segmented barrel vaulted skylight with a new state of the art insulated lean-to aluminum heavy duty commercial skylight. The approximate size of the skylight was 17’0” wide x 65’0” long, obviously a large part of the Rusty Scuppers design and appeal.

The removal and replacement included Acurlite providing a new structural steel curb and building enhancements to accept the new lean-to skylight. While replacing the existing skylight, not only did Acurlite contend with the removal of the old failing skylight, but also the HVAC ductwork that remained in place and completely operational so as not to affect any of the Rusty Scupper’s customers. Acurlite was up to the challenge presented to them intent to work in a timely manner to not slow business at the popular Rusty Scupper Restaurant.

Acurlite worked to meet all of the customers needs and expectations to complete the project in a timely manner, keeping the Rusty Scupper open for business during the entire installation. To accomplish this, Acurlite performed much of the work during off morning hours. From start to finish including removal and replacement, the complete project took just two weeks for Acurlite, making the skylight replacement a success while keeping customers rolling through the doors at the Rusty Scupper Restaurant.
