Kingman Roof Pros provides professional skylights and solar tubes in Kingman, AZ for residential and commercial properties across the Hualapai Valley. The straight answer on skylights in this valley is that a well-installed curb-mounted unit is a good thing to own, and that nearly every skylight leak we get called out to fix has nothing whatsoever wrong with the skylight itself.
A skylight is a hole in the roof surrounded by four flashing joints and topped with a piece of insulated glass. The glass is the durable part. The joints are what a daily temperature crossing works on, because the curb, the deck, the flashing kit and the glazing unit are four different materials with four different expansion rates, all bolted together. Four materials, four expansion rates, one joint holding the water out.
They cycle through a twenty-five degree swing every day and across freezing on forty-four nights a year. That is why we replace the entire flashing kit whenever we replace a unit, and why we will not set a new skylight down onto an existing curb and tired step flashing. Reusing flashing to save a few hundred dollars puts a newly warranted unit on top of a twenty-year-old joint.
The leak returns within a couple of seasons and the manufacturer points straight at the installation, correctly. Deck-mounted units sit lower and look better from the ground. The curb-mounted version rides on a built-up curb, which is far more forgiving of the ponding and blown grit this climate delivers during a monsoon. On any low-slope roof we install curb-mounted only. Blown grit and standing water are exactly what a proper curb keeps clear.
We build that curb tall enough to keep the base flashing well clear of the water line, and we flash it as a curb rather than as a bump in the field. Condensation complaints, meanwhile, are usually not leaks at all. Cold glass on a February morning collects the room's moisture, and it runs down the shaft and stains the drywall in a pattern that looks exactly like a leak.
We check the frame's condensation channel and its weep path before we open anything up on the roof, because opening a sound roof teaches you nothing and costs you money. For daylight without the risk, a tubular daylight device is a much smaller penetration with a single flashed base and no shaft to condense inside. On a bathroom or hallway it is usually the better purchase. It also disturbs far less roof.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — clay tile graded to ASTM C1167 Grade 1, mechanically fastened raised ridge battens, high-temperature membrane at eaves and valleys, tapered polyiso saddles behind curbs, floating clip standing seam runs, counterflashing set into a masonry reglet — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Kingman and nearby communities including New Kingman-Butler, Golden Valley, Valle Vista, Dolan Springs.

Materials, equipment and how we do skylights and solar tubes
The difference between skylights and solar tubes that lasts and skylights and solar tubes that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with clay tile graded to ASTM C1167 Grade 1, mechanically fastened raised ridge battens, high-temperature membrane at eaves and valleys, tapered polyiso saddles behind curbs, 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 Kingman 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 Hualapai Valley means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Kingman Chooses Kingman Roof Pros
- ✓We specify from the local freeze record rather than from a state-wide default, which is why tile grade and ridge fastening on our jobs differ from a Phoenix quote.
- ✓Inspections are scheduled for late February so you are seeing what the winter actually did, instead of guessing in autumn or arguing after a monsoon.
- ✓Every estimate names the product, the grade and the fastening pattern. If a competitor's quote says only shingles and a color, you are comparing two different roofs.
- ✓Drainage correction gets quoted before membrane on every low-slope roof, because a pond that freezes overnight works a seam that no sheet was designed to resist.
