Springfield MA Roof Pros provides professional skylights in Springfield, MA for residential and commercial properties across Hampden County and the Connecticut River valley. Replacing failed units, reflashing the ones worth keeping, and closing up the ones that are not. We very rarely recommend cutting a new opening in a Springfield roof, and we will tell you why before you ask us to price one.
Start with the option nobody offers. If a skylight leaks, the unit is old, the room below has another window and you are not attached to it, the cheapest permanent answer is removal: take the unit out, frame and deck the opening back to the rafters, tie the underlayment in and shingle across. It deletes the failure point rather than renewing it.
Where a skylight genuinely earns its place, it earns a proper job: a curb-mounted unit sitting on a built and flashed curb, rather than a deck-mounted one dropped into an old hole. The curb raises the glass above the water plane and gives the step flashing something to climb. On a shallow porch or ell roof, curb-mounted is the only version we will fit at all.
Flashing is the entire job. A manufacturer's kit for the specific model and pitch, with head flashing carried well up under the courses above, step pieces at the sides woven one to a course, and an apron at the sill lapping over the shingles below. What we take off failing units is almost always the same thing: a bed of sealant substituting for metal, applied by someone who did not want to open the roof.
Not every wet skylight is leaking. On a cold night, warm indoor air meets a cold pane and the water runs down the reveal exactly as a leak would. If the shaft is uninsulated, if there is no vapor control at the ceiling, or if the room is a bathroom or a kitchen, we look at condensation before we look at flashing.
New openings we will do, but only after a conversation about the rafters that must be cut and headed, and about the fact that the cost will not return at sale here. If the aim is simply daylight in a stairwell or a windowless bathroom, a tubular unit is a fraction of the price, a fraction of the disruption and a fraction of the long-term risk, and we would rather fit you one of those.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — asphalt laminate carrying an ASTM D7158 Class H classification, aluminum step flashing set one piece to each shingle course, a rake starter strip run with its sealant bead at the edge, W-profile valley metal in twenty-four gauge painted steel, an unused brick chimney dropped below the sheathing plane, framed infill and fresh decking where a chimney was removed — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Springfield and nearby communities including Chicopee, Westfield, Holyoke, Northampton.

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 asphalt laminate carrying an ASTM D7158 Class H classification, aluminum step flashing set one piece to each shingle course, a rake starter strip run with its sealant bead at the edge, W-profile valley metal in twenty-four gauge painted steel, 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 Springfield 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 Hampden County and the Connecticut River valley means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Springfield Chooses Springfield MA Roof Pros
- ✓Every proposal names the design wind speed the Massachusetts code assigns this city, which is 115 miles per hour, so you can see what the specification is actually answering to instead of taking a tier name on trust.
- ✓We argue homeowners out of the high-wind shingle upgrade here more often than we sell it, because the ordinary architectural laminate already tests well past what Springfield's number asks for.
- ✓On a dead chimney we quote taking it down below the sheathing and decking over the hole, which is cheaper than flashing it correctly and removes the leak permanently rather than renewing it.
- ✓Ventilation is the one upgrade we push hard, because it is the only line on the estimate whose payback still works on a house at this city's values.
The standards behind skylights
Quality here is not a matter of opinion — it is written down. The skylights work we do in Springfield 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 Springfield 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.
