Burleson Roof Pros provides professional skylights in Burleson, TX for residential and commercial properties across the I-35W corridor south of Fort Worth. Steep pitch is the one place a skylight has an easy life. On a 6:12 plane water reaches the head flashing with momentum and leaves around the curb rather than sitting against it. The complication here is not water. It is the shaft.
A 6:12 roof over a standard ceiling puts a lot of framing between the glass and the room, so the shaft is long and does the real optical work. A straight shaft delivers a narrow column of light. A flared shaft, splayed wider at the ceiling than at the roof, delivers two or three times as much from the same unit. Anyone quoting a skylight without asking about the shaft is quoting half the job.
Curb-mounted is what we install, essentially always. A deck-mounted unit sits lower and looks tidier, but it depends entirely on the flashing kit and it gives you nothing to work with when the roof is replaced in twenty years. A two-inch site-built curb, wrapped and flashed, is a detail that can be re-flashed as many times as the house needs. Twenty years from now, whoever reroofs the house will thank you for the curb.
The flashing kit is not optional and not substitutable. Every manufacturer supplies a step-and-counter kit matched to the covering and the slope, and roughly every leaking skylight we open has been sealed instead of flashed. Sealant is a consumable with a five-year life installed on a component expected to last thirty. Ask to see the kit box on site before the unit goes in.
Replace the unit when you replace the field. A twenty-year-old skylight under a brand new roof is the one guaranteed callback on an otherwise good job, and the marginal cost while the plane is open is a fraction of the cost of going back. If the glazing has seal failure, fogging between the panes, it is at end of life regardless of whether it leaks. Going back to do it twice costs far more than doing it once.
Where we say no is the shallow roof. Do not put a skylight in a 3:12 porch or a patio cover. The slope is marginal for the covering already, the head flashing has no help from gravity, and there is usually no ventilated cavity above the ceiling to dry it out. There are better places in a Burleson house to put daylight.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — 6:12 minimum dwelling pitch, 3:12 front porch allowance, doubled underlayment below four in twelve, porch-to-field transition flashing, pitch-multiplier labor takeoff, roof jack and plank staging — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Burleson and nearby communities including Cleburne, Joshua, Crowley, Benbrook.

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 6:12 minimum dwelling pitch, 3:12 front porch allowance, doubled underlayment below four in twelve, porch-to-field transition flashing, 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 Burleson 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 I-35W corridor south of Fort Worth means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Burleson Chooses Burleson Roof Pros
- ✓Every proposal carries a pitch schedule. Each plane is listed with its slope, its squares and the underlayment specified for that slope, so a shallow porch cannot be buried inside one roof price.
- ✓We treat the porch and patio cover as a service in their own right rather than an afterthought, because in this city that shallow surface causes most of the interior damage while the steep field takes the blame.
- ✓Our reports state which planes were reached on foot and which were assessed from a drone or a ladder. Above seven in twelve nobody walks a roof safely without staging, and pretending otherwise is where bad reports begin.
- ✓We refuse work we think is wrong. Coatings do not go on asphalt fields, tile does not go on tract framing built for shingle load, and a roof with years left does not get replaced because a storm passed overhead.
The standards behind skylights
Quality here is not a matter of opinion — it is written down. The skylights work we do in Burleson 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 Burleson 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.
