Amarillo Roof Pros provides professional skylights in Amarillo, TX for residential and commercial properties across the Texas Panhandle. A skylight is a hole in the one part of your house that takes direct hail. We install and replace them and we are candid about the trade: adding one to an Amarillo roof puts the most vulnerable component you own in the most exposed plane you have.
The unit type decides nearly everything. An acrylic dome is the cheapest and the first thing to go, because ultraviolet exposure crazes it and a stone that only bruises a shingle can hole it. Laminated glass behaves like a windshield, cracking but staying in the opening and keeping weather out. Tempered glass shatters clear through and leaves you open. Ask what the glazing is before you ask what it costs.
So if you want a skylight here, it should be a laminated-glass unit, curb-mounted, with a factory step-flashing kit. If what you actually want is daylight in a hallway or a bathroom, a tubular daylight device is the better purchase: a small domed collector, a reflective tube and a ceiling diffuser, at a fraction of the cost and with far less roof to leak. Two of them cost less than one skylight.
Almost every skylight leak we open turns out to be a flashing problem rather than a glass problem. Sealant-only installations fail within a few years. A proper install has a curb, a self-adhered membrane wrapped up that curb, step flashing at the sides, head flashing tucked under the course above, and a saddle behind the head on a long run. None of it relies on caulk.
The other rule is timing. Replace skylights when the roof gets replaced. Flashing a new unit into an existing shingle field means cutting into courses that are bonded and brittle, and the seal you break around that opening is never as good as the one a factory kit makes on a fresh deck. Doing it later always costs more than doing it now.
Not every wet ceiling under a skylight is a leak. A single-glazed or failed insulated unit runs condensation down the shaft on a cold morning and the stain looks identical. We check the glazing seal and the shaft insulation before quoting flashing work, and sometimes the answer is a new unit and better shaft detailing rather than roof repair. A shaft with bare drywall and no insulation will do it every winter.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — UL 2218 Class 4 impact-rated shingles, ASTM D7158 Class H wind ratings, SBS polymer-modified asphalt, 24-gauge standing-seam steel with concealed clips, synthetic underlayment fastened with plastic cap nails, six-nail enhanced fastening patterns — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Amarillo and nearby communities including Pampa, Hereford, Canyon, Dumas.

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, ASTM D7158 Class H wind ratings, SBS polymer-modified asphalt, 24-gauge standing-seam steel with concealed clips, 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 Amarillo 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 Texas Panhandle means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.
