Fort Collins Roof Pros provides professional skylights in Fort Collins, CO for residential and commercial properties across Northern Colorado. A skylight is the single most hail-vulnerable square foot of most roofs in this city, and the glazing choice decides whether it survives. Acrylic bubble domes crack. Laminated glass units take a strike, hold together and keep the water out.
That is the whole payback argument in one product. The premium for a laminated-glass, curb-mounted unit over a builder-grade acrylic dome is modest against the cost of replacing a cracked dome plus repairing the drywall in the light shaft under it. On a west or south slope in a hail corridor, the upgrade is not a luxury, it is the version that does not become a claim.
Most skylight leaks we are called to are not the glass at all. They are the flashing kit, or the absence of one. A unit bedded in sealant instead of stepped and counterflashed into the courses will weep every spring, and the stain that shows up in the ceiling gets blamed on the skylight rather than on the eight inches of roof around it. Manufacturer step, head and sill flashing exists for a reason.
Condensation is the other misdiagnosis. Warm indoor air meets cold glass at this altitude, water runs down the shaft and stains the same drywall a leak would. We check for it before quoting a replacement, because a bath fan ducted properly and a shaft with real insulation can end the problem with no roof work at all. A moisture meter on the drywall and a look at the shaft insulation usually settles it in ten minutes.
We install, replace and reflash curb-mounted and deck-mounted units and solar tubes, and we replace glazing rather than whole units where the frame is sound. If your existing dome cracked in a storm, it belongs on the hail scope with the roof, and we will document it that way rather than letting it fall off the claim. Units with fogged seals between the panes are a replacement and not a repair, whatever the frame looks like.
Skylight work runs across Fort Collins, Laporte, Timnath, Wellington, Windsor, Loveland and Berthoud. If a skylight is being replaced during a reroof, that is the cheapest it will ever be, because the flashing and the surrounding courses are open anyway. Two units on one slope should be flashed as a single assembly rather than two.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — UL 2218 Class 4 impact-rated shingles, SBS polymer-modified asphalt, FM 4473 Class 4 rated low-slope assemblies, ASTM D7158 Class H wind-rated shingles, 24-gauge standing seam steel with concealed clips, stone-coated steel with a granulated surface — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Fort Collins and nearby communities including Loveland, Greeley, Windsor, Evans.

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 UL 2218 Class 4 impact-rated shingles, SBS polymer-modified asphalt, FM 4473 Class 4 rated low-slope assemblies, ASTM D7158 Class H wind-rated shingles, 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 Fort Collins 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 Northern Colorado means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Fort Collins Chooses Fort Collins Roof Pros
- ✓We put the Class 4 payback in writing — upgrade cost divided by your carrier's annual premium reduction, in years, before you sign anything.
- ✓Impact-rated accessories are in the base price. Ridge vent, pipe flashings and gutter gauge are the unrated parts that dent, so they get specified with the shingle.
- ✓Tear-off to bare deck as standard. Nobody can inspect sheathing through a second layer, and a roof-over hides the decking problem you will pay for later.
- ✓Manufacturer high-wind nail patterns rather than the four-nail minimum, written into the contract so the wind class on the wrapper means something.

If a contractor cannot tell you which standard a detail comes from, that is worth asking about before you sign.
