Green Bay Roof Pros provides professional skylights in Green Bay, WI for residential and commercial properties across northeast Wisconsin. A skylight is a curb standing proud of a slope, and on a snow-covered roof that curb is a snow fence. Whatever the wind is carrying stops on the upslope side of it and builds, which changes how we specify and where we agree to put one.
On exposed slopes we build a curb on site and set a curb-mounted unit into it, not a deck-mounted one, on exposed slopes, and we build the curb tall. Six inches is a minimum here, not a target, because the drift that forms above a low curb will sit above the head flashing and stay there for weeks. Six inches also gives the step flashing something to climb.
Flashing is a manufacturer's kit, always, with self-adhered membrane wrapped up the curb and lapped over the deck before any metal goes on. Head flashing is carried wide, the sill pan discharges onto the shingle course below rather than onto underlayment, and step pieces are woven into the courses at the sides. Metal is fastened through its designed slots, never face-nailed at the head. Sealant is never the primary detail.
Placement is worth arguing about. A skylight low on a slope, below a valley or immediately under a ridge on the windward face is a problem we would rather not create. Moving it three feet across the same room usually costs nothing at the framing stage and removes the drift path entirely. We would rather have that conversation at the drawing than at the ceiling.
Most skylight calls we get are not the skylight. Condensation running off cold glass in January, or off an uninsulated shaft, stains the ceiling exactly where a leak would and it happens in the same weeks. We check with a moisture meter and a look at the shaft before quoting glass, and we insulate and air-seal the shaft as part of any replacement. Two of the last three units we were called to were condensation, not glass.
If your unit is a 1990s acrylic bubble with a fogged dome, replacing it during a reroof is the cheap moment to do it. On its own, mid-winter, on a roof under snow, it is not, and we will ask you to wait for spring unless it is actually leaking. The scaffold and the tear-off are already paid for at that point.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — ridge vent with external baffles certified to TAS 100 (A), aluminium soffit vent strip fastened at twelve inches on centre, two-stage soffit intake with an expansion chamber and structural baffle, filtered weather media behind a ridge vent, profiled foam and vented ridge closures on standing seam, gooseneck relief hoods with extended throats — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Green Bay and nearby communities including De Pere, Howard, Ashwaubenon, Bellevue.

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 ridge vent with external baffles certified to TAS 100 (A), aluminium soffit vent strip fastened at twelve inches on centre, two-stage soffit intake with an expansion chamber and structural baffle, filtered weather media behind a ridge vent, 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 Green Bay 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 northeast Wisconsin means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Green Bay Chooses Green Bay Roof Pros
- ✓We photograph the top of the attic insulation before we look at the shingles, because in this city the March ceiling stain usually started as snow that blew in through a vent
- ✓Every ventilation proposal names the vent model and its wind-driven precipitation certification, not just a net free area figure
- ✓On a wind-exposed roof we will reduce the number of openings rather than add them, and we put the reasoning in writing
- ✓Perforated vinyl soffit in J-channel is not our default intake — we price a fastened metal vent strip or a two-stage baffled intake instead
The standards behind skylights
Quality here is not a matter of opinion — it is written down. The skylights work we do in Green Bay 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 Green Bay 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.
