Anderson Roof Pros provides professional skylights in Anderson, IN for residential and commercial properties across Madison County and east central Indiana. Almost every skylight leak we are called about is not the skylight. It is the flashing around it, and it is usually the original installation from the reroof before last, when somebody set the unit in a bed of roofing cement instead of a manufactured flashing kit.
Skylights come in two families. The curb-mounted type rides on a framed box built up above the roof surface, which is the more forgiving arrangement on a shallow pitch. The deck-mounted type sits down flush in the plane, looks better from inside, and lives or dies entirely on its factory flashing kit going in exactly as drawn. Both work. Neither survives improvised flashing.
The right time to touch a skylight is when the roof around it is coming off anyway. Setting a new unit and its flashing kit into fresh underlayment and fresh shingles costs a fraction of doing the same work later as a standalone job, and it removes the most likely leak source for the life of the new roof. If your skylight is over fifteen years old and the roof is going, replace it then.
The seals themselves do age. Fogging between the panes means the insulated glass unit has failed, and on most residential skylights that is a whole-unit replacement rather than a glass swap. Interior condensation running down the shaft in January is often not a failure at all, but a humidity and ventilation problem in the house, and we will check that before selling you anything.
Sun tunnels are worth knowing about. A ten- or fourteen-inch tubular unit brings surprising daylight into a hallway, a stairwell or a windowless bathroom, costs far less than a framed skylight, and puts a much smaller hole in the roof. In an older story-and-a-half house with a long dark landing, it is frequently the better answer, and we suggest it more often than we sell skylights.
We will also tell you when to give one up. A skylight over an unheated porch, or one cut into a plane that is now shaded by a mature tree, may be delivering little light and a permanent risk. Framing the hole shut, decking it over and shingling across is a clean, cheap job, and some homeowners are relieved to hear it is on the table.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — board-sheathed decking, peel-and-stick ice barrier, six-nail fastening patterns, reglet-set counterflashing, continuous ridge venting, closed-cut valley detailing — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Anderson and nearby communities including Pendleton, Elwood, Alexandria, Chesterfield.

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 board-sheathed decking, peel-and-stick ice barrier, six-nail fastening patterns, reglet-set counterflashing, 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 Anderson 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 Madison County and east central Indiana means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Anderson Chooses Anderson Roof Pros
- ✓We put a cost per year on both options so you can compare a repair and a tear-off with real arithmetic instead of a feeling.
- ✓We inspect and grade each plane separately, because one slope is usually years ahead of the rest and that changes what you should spend.
- ✓Six nails per shingle in the nailing zone as standard, plus starter course at rakes, which is the omission we find most often on older roofs here.
- ✓We charge a flat fee for inspections and do not credit it toward work, so our opinion is allowed to be that your roof is fine.
The standards behind skylights
Quality here is not a matter of opinion — it is written down. The skylights work we do in Anderson 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 Anderson 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.
