Garland Premium Roofing provides professional skylights in Garland, TX for residential and commercial properties across the East Fork corridor. Two skylights in one room is one skylight too many in a Texas summer, and the second one is usually the unit that leaks. Light is easy to add here. Heat is the part you have to design around. West-facing glazing is the usual culprit.
We set deck-mounted units using the flashing kit made for that exact product, laminated low-emissivity glass, and a factory curb instead of site-built lumber. We do not build site-made wooden curbs and we do not reuse old flashing, which between them account for very nearly every leaking skylight we have been called out to look at in this city. Flashing kits are product-specific, and mixing brands builds in a delayed leak.
In hallways, closets and windowless bathrooms a tubular daylight device beats a glazed unit on every measure that counts. A far smaller hole in the deck, one-piece flashing, no framing changes, a fraction of the heat gain, and almost nothing to go wrong ten years out when nobody remembers who installed it. The light is diffuse rather than dramatic, which is what most people wanted anyway.
Placement is where this particular house type matters. We keep units out of the slope the service conductors cross, because that is exactly where a crew needs working room and ladder access, and we keep them clear of the mast flashing zone so two penetrations are not competing for the same three courses of shingles. Two penetrations sharing a drainage path is how you get a leak nobody can find.
If a skylight is more than fifteen years old, replace it with the roof rather than reflash it and hope. The seal in an insulated glass unit fails on its own schedule regardless of the roof around it, and paying a crew to come back and open a new roof around an old unit costs more than the unit ever did. Doing both in one visit costs far less than two visits two years apart.
If daylight is the goal and a view of the sky is not, say so early. A pair of solar tubes down a dark hallway costs a fraction of a glazed unit, does not load the room with afternoon heat, and has almost no failure modes worth worrying about. That is the recommendation more often than the pretty answer is. We install far more tubes than glazed units and almost never get called back.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — galvanized service mast with two-inch riser conduit, rubber-collared roof jack at a mast penetration, point of attachment lagged into a rafter tail, spaced plank decking re-sheeted with structural panels, granulated cap sheet over two-ply SBS modified bitumen, walk pads set under rooftop conduit racks — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Garland and nearby communities including Rowlett, Sachse, Rockwall, Heath.

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 galvanized service mast with two-inch riser conduit, rubber-collared roof jack at a mast penetration, point of attachment lagged into a rafter tail, spaced plank decking re-sheeted with structural panels, 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 Garland 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 the East Fork corridor means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Garland Chooses Garland Premium Roofing
- ✓We photograph the mast, weatherhead and point of attachment on the first visit, because on a Garland ranch the service entrance is part of the roof whether or not anyone puts it in the estimate.
- ✓Riser and mast repairs are handed to a licensed electrician on their own city permit instead of being quietly worked around, since electrical is regulated trade work in Texas and roofing is not.
- ✓We measure the clearance between the conductors and the roof plane before you buy, because new decking and a thicker covering both raise that plane and shrink the gap.
- ✓Utility work orders are booked with Garland Power and Light at the start of a job rather than the week the material is delivered, so nobody sits waiting on a truck.
The standards behind skylights
Quality here is not a matter of opinion — it is written down. The skylights work we do in Garland 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.
