Prescott Roof Pros provides professional skylights & sun tunnels in Prescott, AZ for residential and commercial properties across Arizona's Central Highlands. There is a licensing detail on this service that homeowners never hear, and it decides who should be doing your job. It sits in the published scope of work for the Arizona roofing classification, and it is worth two minutes of your time before you sign anything.
The CR-42 roofing classification allows a licensee to replace up to three skylights, and to install new or replace existing ones, only where the work does not require changes to the roof framing or the roof structure. Read that carefully, because it draws a clean line through this trade. Swapping a failed unit for a same-size unit in an existing opening is roofing work.
Cutting a new opening that needs headers, or widening an existing one, is framing work and belongs with a contractor licensed for it. Within that line, replacement is usually a good buy. The overwhelming majority of skylight leaks we are called to are not the glass at all. They are a twenty-year-old deck-mounted unit whose factory gasket has gone hard and shrunk.
Or they are a site-built curb flashed with a tube of sealant instead of with step flashing and a proper head cricket. At this elevation we specify curb-mounted units wherever the roof allows it. A curb lifts the frame above the plane where snow sits and meltwater sheets, and it lets us step-flash the sides into the courses and build a real cricket at the head so the unit is never damming water behind it.
Deck-mounted units sit much lower and lean far more heavily on their own factory flashing kit, which is fine on a steep field and marginal on a shallow one. Glazing specification matters here too, more than it does in a warm climate. Insulated glass with a low-emissivity coating and a warm-edge spacer resists the interior condensation that a single-glazed bubble at the top of a cold shaft produces reliably every January.
Owners routinely mistake that for a leak. Sun tunnels are badly underrated for hallways, stairwells and interior bathrooms. They light a windowless room properly, they penetrate the roof with one small flashed collar rather than a framed opening, and they cost a fraction of the alternative. On a shaded north-facing hallway they will not replace a lamp, so we will tell you which rooms are worth doing and which are not.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — ground snow load pulled from the ASCE 7-22 hazard tool, five-eighths inch roof sheathing at the upper elevation bands, snow guards staggered above entries and drive aprons, concealed-clip standing seam in twenty-four gauge steel, cold-weather asphalt cement hand-applied under lifted tabs, net free intake area counted at the soffit — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Prescott and nearby communities including Prescott Valley, Chino Valley, Camp Verde, Cottonwood.

Materials, equipment and how we do skylights & sun tunnels
The difference between skylights & sun tunnels that lasts and skylights & sun tunnels that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with ground snow load pulled from the ASCE 7-22 hazard tool, five-eighths inch roof sheathing at the upper elevation bands, snow guards staggered above entries and drive aprons, concealed-clip standing seam in twenty-four gauge 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 Prescott 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 Arizona's Central Highlands means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Prescott Chooses Prescott Roof Pros
- ✓Every quote starts with your elevation, your jurisdiction and the ground snow load your address actually returns, because those three decide which coverings are even eligible.
- ✓We open the deck and photograph what is under the covering before pricing, so a re-deck is a line item on day one rather than a surprise on day two.
- ✓Coatings are scheduled to the cure window rather than to our calendar. If the overnight forecast will not hold, we dry the roof in and come back in spring.
- ✓Metal installs include snow guard layout above entries, walkways and parking, sized to the slope and panel, because a released snowpack does real damage here.
