Vancouver Roof Pros provides professional skylights in Vancouver, WA for residential and commercial properties across Clark County. Skylights earn their place here more than in most of the country. Between November and February this latitude gets under nine hours of daylight, and much of it arrives through overcast, so a north-facing room can be dim at midday. A well-detailed skylight fixes that better than any lighting.
They also sit exactly where a roof is most vulnerable. A skylight is a curb standing in the path of everything moving down the slope, and on a shaded roof what is moving down the slope is fir needles, moss debris and water. That builds into a dam above the head flashing, and a dam above a head flashing is how skylights got their reputation.
So the head detail is the whole job. We want a proper cricket above any unit wider than about thirty inches, step flashing up both sides woven course by course rather than a continuous L, head flashing lapped over the cricket and under the course above it, and self-adhered membrane taken up the curb and lapped out onto the deck at least six inches on every side.
Curb-mounted units on a site-built curb are our default on a low-slope or heavily shaded roof, because the extra height keeps the glass clear of debris. Deck-mounted units with a factory flashing kit are neater and lower in profile and are fine on a well-drained slope with nothing overhanging it. Fixed units leak less often than venting units for the simple reason that they have fewer moving parts.
Condensation gets mistaken for a leak, and telling them apart saves money. Water appearing on the inside of the glass on a cold, still morning and drying off by afternoon is condensation in the shaft, and the fix is insulating and vapour-sealing the shaft plus a warm-edge insulated glass unit. Water that appears during rain and follows the frame corner is a flashing failure.
Replace the units when the roof comes off. Skylight seals last around twenty to twenty-five years, so an original unit on a roof due for tear-off will fail during the life of the new roof, and going back in later means cutting into a brand-new slope. It is a modest cost during a replacement and an annoying one afterwards. The same logic applies to any sun tunnel already sitting in the slope.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — moss rhizoids wedged under the shingle butt edge, the factory sealant strip bond between courses, north-slope drying potential under a conifer canopy, 1x4 skip sheathing left from an original cedar shake roof, hand removal with a plastic-bladed shingle scraper, potassium salts of fatty acids moss treatment — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Vancouver and nearby communities including Camas, Washougal, Battle Ground, Ridgefield.

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 moss rhizoids wedged under the shingle butt edge, the factory sealant strip bond between courses, north-slope drying potential under a conifer canopy, 1x4 skip sheathing left from an original cedar shake roof, 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 Vancouver 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 Clark County means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

The standards behind skylights
Quality here is not a matter of opinion — it is written down. The skylights work we do in Vancouver follows published industry standards: NRCA publishes the Roofing Manual, the industry's reference for details and slope minimums, and Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association sets the shingle application and ventilation guidance the warranties reference. If a contractor cannot tell you which standard a detail comes from, that is worth asking about before you sign.
Every skylights project in Vancouver gets the same attention, whether it is a single room or a full commercial job. We show up on schedule, keep the site clean, and stand behind the work — the estimate is free and there is no pressure.
