What We Build

Structural glass, engineered for altitude.

Every project is designed for our valley's specific light angles, snow loads and temperature swings — not a generic sunroom kit.

01

Custom Glass Atriums

Full glass-roof additions that bring year-round natural light into an existing home, engineered to match your roofline and structure.

02

Structural Skylights

Fixed and operable skylight systems built into new or existing roof structures, flashed and sealed for our freeze-thaw climate.

03

Four-Season Sunrooms

Insulated glass sunroom additions with heating integration for comfortable use from January powder days to July afternoons.

04

Glass Wall Systems

Floor-to-ceiling glass wall assemblies and folding glass doors that open an atrium fully to a patio or yard.

05

Structural Engineering

In-house structural review and stamped engineering drawings for every glass roof and wall system we design.

06

Repair & Reseal

Reglazing, seal replacement and frame repair on existing atriums and skylights — including systems we didn't originally build.

Who's Building It

Melissa Ortiz

Founder & General Contractor

Melissa started Atrium Glassworks in 2012 after years working structural glazing crews on commercial projects along the Wasatch Front. She saw too many homeowner sunrooms fail their first hard winter — undersized framing, wrong glass spec for our elevation, seals that never should have passed inspection.

Every Atrium Glassworks project starts with a structural calculation for our specific snow load and wind exposure, not a catalog template. Melissa reviews and stamps the engineering on every glass roof herself.

"A glass roof here has to survive a February storm and still feel like summer in July. That's the whole job."

Design & Engineering

Stamped structural drawings sized for our snow load and wind exposure, with a full material spec.

03

Permitting

We pull and manage all city and county permits before any framing goes up.

Framing, glazing and sealing by our in-house crew, typically 3–6 weeks depending on scope.

05

Client Reviews

What homeowners say.

★★★★★

"We went through one bad February with an old sunroom before calling Melissa. This one has held up through two winters with zero leaks or condensation."

Rachel M.
Four-Season Sunroom, Sugar House
★★★★★

"They actually engineered for our snow load instead of just installing a kit off a truck. The stamped drawings made our permit process painless."

David T.
Full Glass Atrium, Federal Heights
★★★★★

"Our new skylight brings in gorgeous light without any of the summer heat gain we worried about. The crew was tidy and finished on schedule."
