Rock Hill Roof Pros provides professional skylights in Rock Hill, SC for residential and commercial properties across York, Chester and Lancaster counties. A skylight that leaks is usually a flashing that was never right, and a skylight that sweats is usually a ventilation problem wearing a disguise. Both get blamed on the unit itself, and the unit is rarely at fault.
Skylights come in two mountings and the choice is not cosmetic. Deck-mounted units sit low against the plane and look considerably better from inside the room. Curb-mounted units sit on a built-up frame and suit low pitches and metal roofs. Either way the flashing is a system of shaped pieces made for that unit on that covering, and the moment somebody substitutes a bead of sealant for a piece of metal, a countdown starts.
We fit manufacturer flashing kits and nothing else, with self-adhered membrane run up the curb and lapped under the head and over the sill. On any reroof, existing skylights get new flashing by default, never as an optional extra line. Reusing twenty-year-old step and saddle metal under a brand new roof is the most common reason a new roof leaks in its first winter.
Which raises the honest conversation about age, and it is one worth having before the scaffold goes up. The seals in a glazed unit have a working life roughly comparable to a roof's, so a skylight approaching two decades that is being re-flashed anyway is usually worth replacing outright while everything is open. Paying labor twice, once now and again in four years, is the expensive route and it is very easy to walk down without noticing.
Condensation deserves its own answer, because it looks exactly like a leak and is nothing of the sort. Water on the inside face of the glass on a cold morning, or running down the shaft lining and staining the drywall return, is warm indoor air meeting a cold surface. The cure is an insulated and air-sealed shaft, better attic ventilation, and often a bathroom fan that actually terminates outdoors.
And sometimes the honest answer is a tubular daylight device rather than a skylight at all. For a windowless hallway, a stair landing or a small bathroom, a sun tunnel delivers most of the light people actually wanted, costs a fraction of the price, and puts a far smaller and much simpler penetration through your roof. We will suggest it whenever it is the better buy, which is more often than you would think.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — SBS-modified impact-rated laminated shingles, ring-shank fasteners specified in place of smooth shank, hail bruising confirmed by thumb pressure on the shingle mat, brittleness testing done before a repair is quoted, kick-out diverters where a rake meets a sidewall, 26-gauge standing seam panels on concealed clips — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Rock Hill and nearby communities including Fort Mill, Tega Cay, Lake Wylie, Indian Land.

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 SBS-modified impact-rated laminated shingles, ring-shank fasteners specified in place of smooth shank, hail bruising confirmed by thumb pressure on the shingle mat, brittleness testing done before a repair is quoted, 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 Rock Hill 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 York, Chester and Lancaster counties means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Rock Hill Chooses Rock Hill Roof Pros
- ✓Your deductible is yours. South Carolina makes it an offense for a roofer to promise to pay or rebate any part of it, so nobody here will offer, and anyone who does is gambling with the registration you are relying on.
- ✓We do not adjust claims. State law makes it unlawful to be your contractor and your public adjuster on the same loss, so we document the roof and you decide what to do with the file.
- ✓No contingency agreements. You get a figure for the roof that stands whether the carrier pays all of it, some of it, or nothing at all.
- ✓Our registration number goes on the contract before the deposit, and the state publishes a roster you can check it against in about a minute.
