Allen Premium Roofing provides professional skylights in Allen, TX for residential and commercial properties across the US 75 corridor. A reroof is the only sensible moment to deal with a skylight, and in Allen it is the moment that keeps getting skipped. Skipping it is cheap on the day and expensive for the next fifteen years, which is the pattern of most of what we undo here.
The fast version of a reroof leaves the unit where it is, cuts the shingles up to it and runs a bead of sealant around the old flashing kit. It saves an hour on the job, and it places a component with a twenty-year service life underneath a roof with a twenty-five-year one, with the joint between them held together by a material that lasts five. Sealant becomes the waterproofing system for a hole in your roof.
Two things then fail, and they fail on schedule. The gasket between glass and frame hardens and lets water track down inside the shaft, which shows up as a stain on drywall some distance from the unit. And the step flashing running up the sides of a site-built curb corrodes, or gets bedded in mastic rather than woven in with the shingle courses. Both start well before anyone sees a drip.
So our default is blunt. If the roof is being replaced and the skylight is older than roughly fifteen years, the unit goes with it, flashed with the manufacturer's kit for that model and that pitch. It is a modest line inside a replacement and an expensive standalone job once new shingles are down and have to be opened again. The labor and the shingles are already off, and doing it later pays for both twice.
Adding daylight is a different conversation and often a better one than people expect in this stock, because these floor plans carry deep interior halls and windowless second-floor landings. A fixed deck-mounted unit on a north or east slope adds light without much heat, and a tubular daylight device reaches a hallway for a fraction of a framed shaft.
We do not recommend acrylic domes on site-built curbs, we do not set units on slopes below the manufacturer's minimum pitch without a proper curb assembly, and we will not reflash an existing unit using a kit built for another model. If the kit for your skylight is discontinued, the honest answer is a new unit rather than a clever detail.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — architectural laminate shingles fastened six per shingle inside the nailing zone, UL 2218 Class 4 impact-rated laminates, synthetic underlayment fastened with plastic cap nails, starter course carrying a factory-applied adhesive strip at eave and rake, gutter apron and drip edge in 26-gauge painted steel, reglet-cut counterflashing folded into the mortar joint — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Allen and nearby communities including Plano, Frisco, McKinney, Richardson.

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 architectural laminate shingles fastened six per shingle inside the nailing zone, UL 2218 Class 4 impact-rated laminates, synthetic underlayment fastened with plastic cap nails, starter course carrying a factory-applied adhesive strip at eave and rake, 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 Allen 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 US 75 corridor means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Allen Chooses Allen Premium Roofing
- ✓We date the roof before we quote it, using the shingle line, the permit record for the address and the tear-off count read from the attic, because most Allen roofs are second roofs and the age of the house tells you nothing useful.
- ✓Every estimate is itemized by detail. Boots, valley metal, edge metal, counterflashing, ridge slot and decking are separate lines, so a repair can be compared honestly against a replacement instead of guessed at.
- ✓When the shingle field is sound and only the reused components have failed, we put the recommendation to wait in writing, with a date to look again and the three things worth watching until then.
- ✓Sealant is used only where a manufacturer's instructions call for it. Chimneys get counterflashing cut into the mortar joint, plumbing vents get new boots, and nothing gets a bead of mastic in place of metal.
The standards behind skylights
Quality here is not a matter of opinion — it is written down. The skylights work we do in Allen 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 Allen 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.
