A lot of skylight problems trace back to what you can’t see: the flashing hidden beneath the shingles. ShieldPro Roofing focuses on this hidden layer when integrating skylights into Mukilteo roofs. During a roof replacement, we evaluate the skylight opening, curb height, and roof pitch to determine the best drainage strategy. Using manufacturer kits, we then build a proper flashing sequence—step flashing along the sides, pan flashing at the bottom, and head flashing at the top—all overlapped in the correct direction. This approach controls wind-driven rain and keeps water traveling over the roof, not into your home. For aluminum skylight systems, we carefully align seams and trim pieces so there are no unintended channels or dams that could hold water near the frame. If your older acrylic dome feels drafty, looks yellowed, or sweats in colder months, we can suggest modern skylights designed for better energy performance and reduced condensation. We’ll walk through options, explain expected light levels, and share installation photos so you can see the craftsmanship behind the scenes.
