Greenville SC Roof Pros provides professional skylights in Greenville, SC for residential and commercial properties across Greenville County and the Blue Ridge escarpment. A skylight is a hole in the one plane of your house that has to stay watertight, and where you put it in Greenville matters more than which brand you buy. On a shaded north slope it can behave less like a window and more like a condensing surface.
Here is why. The glass on a north plane under canopy stays cold long after the rest of the roof has warmed, warm household moisture rises into the shaft, and it condenses and runs down the inside of the jamb. The homeowner reports a leak, we run a water test that comes back dry, and the real fix is insulation in the shaft, an air seal at the ceiling and better attic drying, not flashing.
So we ask about placement before we quote. If the room needs light and the south or west plane can serve it, that is where we put the unit. If only the shaded plane will work, we specify an insulated laminated unit with a warm-edge spacer, build the shaft with a real air barrier, and set expectations honestly about winter mornings. Daylight is the goal, not the fixture.
Flashing is not a place to improvise. We use the manufacturer's engineered kit for the specific model and the specific roof covering, set on a self-adhered bed, with a head diverter above the unit on any plane long enough to build up flow. Site-built curbs finished with sealant are the single most common source of the skylight leaks we get called to repair. The kit costs less than the callback.
Timing saves real money. Putting new units in during a reroof means one setup, one integration into fresh underlayment, and no seam between old and new work around the opening. Replacing a twenty-year-old unit under a five-year-old roof means cutting into a roof that was fine. Ask for the units to be quoted separately so you can see what the timing is worth.
If the room is dark and the roof is not due, a tubular device through the attic is often the better answer. It costs a fraction of a framed unit, it puts a much smaller hole in the water plane, and on a shaded slope it avoids the condensation problem entirely. We install both and we are not paid more for the larger hole.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — full-deck self-adhered underlayment specified above the eleven-hundred-foot line, attic-side moisture grids read twice across a drying interval, open twenty-six gauge valley metal with a hemmed edge, laminated sealant strips hand-warmed on shaded winter installs, a cast masonry crown with a drip kerf past the brick face, gutter outlets counted against the roof area each one drains — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Greenville and nearby communities including Caesars Head, Slater-Marietta, Tigerville, The Cliffs Valley.

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 full-deck self-adhered underlayment specified above the eleven-hundred-foot line, attic-side moisture grids read twice across a drying interval, open twenty-six gauge valley metal with a hemmed edge, laminated sealant strips hand-warmed on shaded winter installs, 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 Greenville 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 Greenville County and the Blue Ridge escarpment means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Greenville Chooses Greenville SC Roof Pros
- ✓We write two specifications for this county, not one, because the annual rainfall between Fountain Inn and Caesars Head is not remotely the same number.
- ✓Every job starts with moisture readings taken from inside the attic, on a set grid, so a slowly wetting deck is found before it gets covered up.
- ✓Deck replacement is priced per sheet on the proposal instead of hidden in an allowance you discover halfway through the tear-off.
- ✓We refuse three things by policy: layovers over old shingles, coatings sold as a replacement, and rolled asphalt put back on a low-slope porch.
The standards behind skylights
Quality here is not a matter of opinion — it is written down. The skylights work we do in Greenville 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 Greenville 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.
