Farmington Roof Pros provides professional skylights in Farmington, NM for residential and commercial properties across the San Juan Basin. Farmington gets a great deal of sun and very little cloud, which makes a skylight both more tempting and more dangerous here than in most of the country. The light is free. The heat that arrives with it is not.
At this elevation the atmosphere filters less, so both the visible light and the ultraviolet coming through a horizontal opening are stronger than the same unit would deliver at sea level. A large clear skylight on a south or west slope will cook the room beneath it from May through September and fade whatever is under it. West-facing units are the worst of it, because the afternoon load arrives when the room is already warm.
Our default recommendation is smaller and smarter. Two ten-inch tubular daylighting devices usually put more usable light into a hallway or a bathroom than one large glass unit, cost less, and add almost no heat load. Where a real skylight is wanted, we push for a north-facing slope, laminated low-emissivity glazing, and a factory-fitted blind. A tube also loses far less heat in winter, which matters on a January night at this elevation.
The installation detail matters more than the brand name. A curb-mounted unit on a raised, properly built curb with self-adhered membrane turned up the sides, step flashing at the sides, a head flashing over the top, and a cricket above anything wider than about thirty inches. Deck-mounted units flashed with the manufacturer's own kit, never with sealant alone. Crickets get framed rather than built out of sealant, and they are flashed like a small roof of their own.
The call we get most often about skylights is dripping, and dripping is usually not a leak at all. A shaft running through an unconditioned attic without insulation, or a swamp-cooled house dumping moist air into the room, will drip from the frame on a cold morning. We insulate and air-seal the shaft and the dripping stops. Blinds and shades solve the glare but not the heat, so the glazing choice has to do that work.
We also remove skylights, and it is a perfectly reasonable request. If a unit is over twenty-five years old, sitting on a slope that is about to be reshingled, and nobody in the house likes the heat, decking it over during the tear-off costs very little and removes a penetration permanently. That is often the right call. Decking a unit over also removes an annual maintenance item nobody was keeping up with anyway.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — high-temperature self-adhered underlayment, lead-flanged pipe boot collars, soldered pan flashing under a cooler stand, counter-flashing let into a masonry reglet, SBS-modified bitumen cap sheet, heat-welded TPO seams — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Farmington and nearby communities including Aztec, Bloomfield, Shiprock, Crouch Mesa.

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 high-temperature self-adhered underlayment, lead-flanged pipe boot collars, soldered pan flashing under a cooler stand, counter-flashing let into a masonry reglet, 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 Farmington 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 San Juan Basin means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Farmington Chooses Farmington Roof Pros
- ✓We quote the curbs, stacks and flues as their own line items, so you can see what the leak actually costs before deciding on the field.
- ✓Deck photographs go to you during the tear-off, not into a folder. Soft sheathing gets located and shown while there is still time to look at it.
- ✓Our inspection calendar runs late March and early October, matched to evaporative cooler startup and drain-down, because that is when a Farmington roof gets wet.
- ✓We refuse contingency agreements. You get a written price for the repair whether or not an insurer ever pays a dollar toward it.
The standards behind skylights
Quality here is not a matter of opinion — it is written down. The skylights work we do in Farmington 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 Farmington 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.
