Carrollton Premium Roofing provides professional skylights in Carrollton, TX for residential and commercial properties across North Texas. A skylight is a hole in the middle of the field with a frame around it, which makes it the most movement-sensitive penetration on the roof. Everything on this site about opening joints applies here first and worst. Treat it as a structural detail rather than a window.
So we specify differently than a contractor in a stable-soil market would. Curb mounted units, set on a site-built curb at least four inches above the plane and flashed with step and counterflashing, are what we recommend on almost every house here. The curb gives the assembly somewhere to move without loading the glass frame directly. It also lets us reflash the unit later without disturbing the field.
Deck mounted skylights sit lower, look better and flash beautifully on a roof that stays flat. On a deck that dishes over a decade, the frame itself becomes the flashing, and any racking goes straight into the seal between glass and frame. We install them when a customer wants that profile, but we say plainly what the trade is. On a newer house with a stiff engineered deck, that trade is a much easier one.
Manufacturer flashing kits are not optional. Every credible skylight is engineered as a system with its own kit, and a leak nearly always traces to somebody substituting sheet metal and sealant to save an hour. If your existing unit is weeping at the head, the first thing we check is whether the kit was ever there. Head flashing and a saddle above the unit are the two pieces most often missing.
Glass choice matters in a hail market. Laminated glass on the lower pane holds together when struck, which is both a safety issue over a living space and the reason most manufacturers rate their laminated units for impact. Acrylic domes yellow, craze and eventually shatter under a serious stone, and we do not install them on occupied rooms. Most manufacturers now publish an impact rating for their glass units; ask for it by number.
Sometimes the right answer is fewer skylights. If a unit is thirty years old, sits over a bathroom, leaks at every seasonal swing and the room has a workable window, removing it and framing the deck solid is the cheaper and better outcome. Where the daylight is genuinely needed, a sealed sun tunnel gives most of the light with a fraction of the exposure.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — ring-shank decking re-nail schedules, self-adhered ice and water membrane at valleys and eaves, step flashing with counterflashing set in a masonry reglet, SBS modified asphalt shingles, UL 2218 Class 4 impact-rated laminates, ASTM D7158 Class H wind-rated laminates — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Carrollton and nearby communities including Farmers Branch, Addison, Coppell, University Park.

Materials, equipment and how we do skylights
The difference between skylights that lasts and skylights that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with ring-shank decking re-nail schedules, self-adhered ice and water membrane at valleys and eaves, step flashing with counterflashing set in a masonry reglet, SBS modified asphalt shingles, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Carrollton job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. Years of roofing work in North Texas means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.
