Everett Roof Pros provides professional skylights in Everett, WA for residential and commercial properties across Snohomish County. Skylights are worth having in a place with this little winter daylight, and they are also the most common single source of the leaks we get called about. Both statements are true, and the difference between them is entirely in the flashing above the unit.
A skylight is an obstruction sitting in a moving sheet of water. Everything draining from the plane above has to divide, pass either side, and rejoin below. At a drizzle rate almost any detail manages that. In a burst the water arrives with depth and momentum, and it stacks against the upslope side of the frame looking for a way through. That is why so many skylight leaks only appear in the heaviest rain of the year.
So the detail we care about most is the head. Any unit wider than about two feet with meaningful roof above it gets a framed cricket, and we size that cricket to the plane feeding it rather than to a standard drawing. Below that goes self-adhered membrane, then the manufacturer's step and head flashing installed in sequence, never a bead of sealant substituting for a step.
We install curb-mounted units by preference and build the curbs tall. A deck-mounted unit sits closer to the plane of the water, and in a hard wash that is the difference between water passing around the frame and water passing over it. The extra curb height costs very little at installation and is impossible to add later. Two extra inches of curb is the cheapest insurance on the roof.
Condensation is the other complaint and it is not a leak. A single-pane or failed-seal unit in a marine climate will run with water on cold mornings, and it will drip onto the shaft below in a pattern that looks exactly like flashing failure. We check the glazing date and the seal before we ever touch the flashing, because replacing perfectly good step metal fixes nothing.
If your skylights are already past twenty years old and the covering is being stripped regardless, change the units out at the same time. Reflashing an aging unit costs most of what a new unit and flashing kit costs, and it leaves you with a twenty-year-old seal inside brand new metal. That is the one upsell on this page we will actually argue for. One visit also means one set of flashings instead of two.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — 26-gauge open W-valley metal with a raised center rib, three-by-four downspout outlets punched oversize through the trough bottom, through-wall overflow outlets set two inches above the membrane surface, externally baffled ridge vent with an integral weather filter, gutter apron run behind the drip edge and over the back of the trough, a drain sump recessed a full inch below the surrounding roof field — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Everett and nearby communities including Marysville, Mukilteo, Lake Stevens, Edmonds.

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 26-gauge open W-valley metal with a raised center rib, three-by-four downspout outlets punched oversize through the trough bottom, through-wall overflow outlets set two inches above the membrane surface, externally baffled ridge vent with an integral weather filter, 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 Everett 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 Snohomish County means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Everett Chooses Everett Roof Pros
- ✓We count outlets and downspouts before we count squares, because in this city the covering is rarely the part that fails first. The path the water takes off it is.
- ✓We will not confirm hail damage in Everett. What falls out of a convergence cell here is graupel, and we would rather show you why it cannot bruise an asphalt mat than write you into a claim.
- ✓Any valley longer than eight feet gets open 26-gauge metal instead of a closed cut. A closed cut is a friction detail, and friction is what backs water up under the courses when it arrives all at once.
- ✓We will tell you a coating cannot fix a drainage problem, and we would rather lose the low-slope job than sell a film over a deck that ponds.
The standards behind skylights
Quality here is not a matter of opinion — it is written down. The skylights work we do in Everett 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 Everett 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.
