West Valley City Roof Pros provides professional skylights in West Valley City, UT for residential and commercial properties across the west Salt Lake Valley. Skylights are the one product on this site where our advice most often is to buy a different product. A unit that sits proud of the roof surface is an obstruction on a plane where the whole design goal is to give wind nothing to grab.
For most rooms that want daylight, a tubular daylight device does the job with a fraction of the exposure. The dome is small, low and round, the flashing is a single formed piece, and the tube carries light down through the attic to a ceiling diffuser without opening a large hole in a rafter run. Cost lands well below a framed unit, installation takes a morning, and there is no shaft to finish and later repaint.
Where a real skylight is warranted, and sometimes it is, curb-mounted beats deck-mounted on this side of the valley. A curb raises the frame above the water plane, and step flashing up the sides against the curb behaves like a small dormer, which is a detail every roofer knows how to do correctly. Deck-mounted units rely entirely on a manufacturer flashing kit installed exactly as drawn, and exactly as drawn is rarer than it should be.
Old units are usually reflashed rather than resealed. Most skylight leaks are not the glass, they are the head flashing and the way the course above it was cut. Sealant applied over that is a season of relief. Pulling the courses, installing a proper saddle above the unit and reweaving the step flashing is a half day and it ends the problem. We check the shaft for a vapor retarder while the opening is exposed.
Glass matters more here than in a mild market. Laminated over tempered, low-emissivity coating, and argon fill, because an uninsulated pane in an attic-adjacent ceiling drips condensation through the cold months and gets blamed on the roof. Insulate and finish the shaft properly with a vapor retarder or the same thing happens inside the light well.
During a reroof, any skylight past twenty years should come out with the covering. Reflashing an old unit into a new roof is putting the oldest component back into the newest assembly, and it is the part you will be calling about first. Doing it during the reroof also lets the new curb and the new field course go in as one detail rather than two.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — ring-shank deck fasteners, factory starter course, hemmed drip edge, self-adhered underlayment, laminated asphalt shingles, 24-gauge standing seam steel — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve West Valley City and nearby communities including Taylorsville, Kearns, Magna, Copperton.

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 ring-shank deck fasteners, factory starter course, hemmed drip edge, self-adhered underlayment, 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 West Valley City 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 west Salt Lake Valley means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.
