Farmington Hills Roof Pros provides professional skylights in Farmington Hills, MI for residential and commercial properties across southwest Oakland County. Skylights are the one product on this site that we will refuse outright, and only for one reason. If the roof is a general common element, we will not cut an opening in it without a signed modification agreement.
The logic is not bureaucratic. A hole in the association's roof becomes the association's maintenance obligation the moment it exists, so four years later a leak around your curb is repaired out of everyone's assessments. Most boards will approve the work happily on the condition that the co-owner accepts that liability in writing, and that document is the whole conversation. Boards are not being obstructive when they ask for that, they are protecting everyone else's assessments.
Where the roof is yours, we install them and we like them. A curb-mounted unit sitting on framed blocking that stands four inches or more proud of the finished shingles, the manufacturer's step and head flashing kit rather than a field-formed improvisation, and an ice barrier lapped up the curb sides before the counterflashing goes on. A site-built curb also lets us set the unit high enough to clear the snow that sits here.
Deck-mounted units are cheaper and we still fit them, but not on a low pitch and not in a valley path. Snow sits on this roof for weeks at a time, and a unit sitting flat in a slope with meltwater running around it is asking for exactly the failure it usually delivers around year fifteen. Snow piled around a flat-mounted unit is the failure we get called out to more than any other.
Half the skylight calls we take turn out not to be leaks. They are condensation shedding off the glass onto the drywall of the shaft, which means the attic is humid and the shaft was insulated badly, and no amount of caulk around the flashing will change it. We say so, and then we go look at the soffits instead. Insulating and air-sealing the shaft is the actual repair, and it costs a fraction of a new unit.
Where a skylight has passed twenty years and the slope around it is coming off anyway, change the unit as well. The labor is already on site, the flashing kit is a fraction of the cost when the slope is open, and leaving a tired acrylic dome beneath brand new shingles is the most common way we watch a good replacement get spoiled.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — self-adhered ice barrier at the eave course, laminated architectural shingles rated to ASTM D3161 Class F, six-nail fastening pattern on every course, aluminum-wrapped pine sub-fascia, draftstopped attic partition above a party wall, cricket saddle framed behind a wide chimney — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Farmington Hills and nearby communities including Farmington, Livonia, Northville, Plymouth.

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 self-adhered ice barrier at the eave course, laminated architectural shingles rated to ASTM D3161 Class F, six-nail fastening pattern on every course, aluminum-wrapped pine sub-fascia, 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 Farmington Hills 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 southwest Oakland County means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Farmington Hills Chooses Farmington Hills Roof Pros
- ✓We ask for the master deed and the bylaws before we measure anything, because the article listing general common elements decides who is legally allowed to buy this roof.
- ✓On a detached site condominium the home and its roof are yours, and we say so plainly instead of sending you to a board with no authority over either.
- ✓Association quotes arrive per building with a remaining-life column, so twelve roofs can be phased across three budget years rather than funded by one special assessment.
- ✓Gutters and chimneys get their own document when the deed assigns them to the co-owner and the deck to the association, because a single invoice cannot cross that line.
The standards behind skylights
Quality here is not a matter of opinion — it is written down. The skylights work we do in Farmington Hills 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.
