Bartlett Roof Pros provides professional skylights in Bartlett, IL for residential and commercial properties across the tri-county northwest suburbs. Skylights in Bartlett sit almost exclusively on the vaulted planes, which is precisely where the insulation requirement lands. That is not a coincidence and it is not good news. Take a vaulted plane to R-30 continuous above the deck and the finished roof surface rises two to three inches.
Every curb penetrating that plane has to grow by the same amount, or the flashing turns into a dam and the unit sits below its own drainage plane. Miss that and water finds the low side of a curb that used to sit proud of the roof and now sits level with it, which is the most reliable leak we are ever called to fix.
Which means a skylight on a plane that is being insulated is never a swap. It is a taller curb, a new flashing kit matched to the new deck height, and in most cases a rebuilt shaft where the opening meets the drywall, because the shaft length changed when the roof got thicker. Anyone quoting a same-size unit into the old hole on that plane has not thought about it.
The good news is that the original units are finished anyway. The acrylic domes that came with the 1990s houses have hazed, crazed and lost their seals at twenty-five to thirty years, and the ones still holding water out are doing it on caulk that somebody renewed. Replacing them during the reroof is the only sensible timing. Doing it separately means cutting a finished roof apart to reach the same detail.
What we install is deck-mounted glass with the manufacturer's own step-flashing kit, never a site-fabricated pan. The flashing kit is engineered for the exact unit and the exact deck build-up, and every leaking skylight we are called to has a hand-made detail somewhere in it. The kit is engineered for that exact unit at that exact deck build-up, and near enough every leaking skylight we have been called to has a hand-made pan somewhere underneath it.
Site-fabricated flashing is a false economy measured in ceilings. The refusal on this page: we do not cut new skylights into an existing Bartlett roof. New holes in a thirty-year-old deck open the plane, drag in the insulation obligation, and hand you the worst-performing square feet in your entire building envelope. If you want daylight in that room, a solar tube through an attic plane costs a fraction and breaks nothing.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — R-30 continuous polyisocyanurate above the deck, nail-base insulated roof sheathing panels, 7/16-inch oriented strand board decking, self-adhered ice barrier membrane at the eave, dense-packed cellulose blown to R-49, unvented cathedral assembly with closed-cell foam — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Bartlett and nearby communities including Streamwood, Hanover Park, Schaumburg, Hoffman Estates.

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 R-30 continuous polyisocyanurate above the deck, nail-base insulated roof sheathing panels, 7/16-inch oriented strand board decking, self-adhered ice barrier membrane at the eave, 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 Bartlett 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 tri-county northwest suburbs means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Bartlett Chooses Bartlett Roof Pros
- ✓We quote the sheathing question in advance, per sheet and per plane, so no homeowner in this village learns what a roof plane costs on the morning it is opened.
- ✓Every roof gets a written plane count sorted into attic-above and cathedral-above, because those two categories carry insulation obligations that differ by thousands of dollars.
- ✓We will not swap a sheet of decking as a courtesy. That single free panel is what converts an eight-hundred-dollar repair into an envelope project, and we say so up front.
- ✓We do not coat asphalt shingle roofs. It seals moisture into the mat, ends the manufacturer warranty, and costs you the clean tear-off you would otherwise have had.
The standards behind skylights
Quality here is not a matter of opinion — it is written down. The skylights work we do in Bartlett 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 Bartlett 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.
