Miami Gardens Roof Pros provides professional skylights in Miami Gardens, FL for residential and commercial properties across north Miami-Dade. Skylights on the pitched side of a house and skylights on a low-slope section are two different problems with two different failure modes. Treating them as one product is how a homeowner ends up with a light well that drips every August.
On a low-slope roof the unit has to sit up out of the water. That means a curb tall enough that the membrane turns up it and terminates well above anything that can pond, plus a cricket on the upslope side so water splits and runs around rather than piling against the back of the curb. A flush-set dome on a section that holds water is a leak with a schedule.
On the pitched side the glass is almost never the problem. The head flashing is. Water coming down the slope hits the top of the unit, and if the step and head flashing were not woven into the covering correctly, sealant is the only thing holding the roof together at that spot. Sealant is a consumable, so the leak arrives on the sealant's timeline. Metal lapped in the right order beats sealant every time.
In this zone the unit itself needs product approval, which rules out the site-built plastic domes we still find on additions. An approved impact-rated skylight has a tested frame, a tested glazing, and a tested attachment, and it is the only kind that belongs on a roof that has to hold up in a design wind event. A site-built assembly has no approval to produce.
The advice that saves people the most money is about timing. Replace skylights during the reroof, not as a separate job. The flashing is being disturbed anyway, the crew is on site, and the cost of the unit is a fraction of the cost of returning to open a roof that was just finished. A twenty-year-old acrylic dome will not outlive the new membrane around it.
If you want daylight without a curb and a hole in a wet zone, a tubular unit through the pitched section is often the better answer. Smaller penetration, simpler flashing, and it delivers usable light into an interior hallway where a full skylight would be overkill. It also keeps a large glazed opening out of the part of the roof that holds water, which on a low-slope section is usually the deciding factor.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — SBS modified bitumen cap sheet, tapered polyisocyanurate crickets, Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance assemblies, annular ring-shank nails with tin caps, wind-rated continuously cleated edge metal, self-adhered granulated cap sheet — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Miami Gardens and nearby communities including Opa-locka, Miami Lakes, North Miami Beach, North Miami.

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 SBS modified bitumen cap sheet, tapered polyisocyanurate crickets, Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance assemblies, annular ring-shank nails with tin caps, 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 Miami Gardens 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 north Miami-Dade means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Miami Gardens Chooses Miami Gardens Roof Pros
- ✓Every proposal names the approved assembly, the fastening pattern and the edge metal profile, with the flat section priced separately from the pitched one.
- ✓We take two-inch core cuts on low-slope sections before quoting, so the ply count, deck type and insulation moisture are known facts rather than assumptions.
- ✓Low-slope surveys are scheduled after heavy rain wherever possible, so ponding can be chalked, measured and photographed instead of described.
- ✓Drainage gets rebuilt with tapered polyisocyanurate and crickets rather than covered over, because a quarter inch per foot is a design requirement and not a preference.
The standards behind skylights
Quality here is not a matter of opinion — it is written down. The skylights work we do in Miami Gardens 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.
