Findlay Roof Pros provides professional skylights in Findlay, OH for residential and commercial properties across Hancock County and northwest Ohio. Skylights leak for one reason far more often than any other: somebody built the curb and the flashing on site instead of buying the manufacturer's kit. Site-built detailing depends entirely on the care of whoever was on the roof that afternoon, and there is no way to audit it afterward.
That is a general truth everywhere, but it bites considerably harder in Findlay. A skylight going into a house here is installed under a zoning permit with no building inspection attached to it anywhere in the process. No official looks at the opening, the header carrying the cut rafters, the curb height or the flashing sequence. The installer's own habits are the entire quality control system, start to finish.
Which is exactly why we insist on factory curb-mounted units with the matching flashing kit from the same manufacturer. The kit is engineered as a sequence: a base apron, step pieces that lace into each shingle course, and a head flashing that runs under the course above. Followed properly, it is the only specification in the transaction that anybody outside our company wrote down.
Curb height is the second thing we will not negotiate on. The curb has to stand high enough above the finished roof plane that snow drifted against it through a Hancock County February still cannot reach the glass seal. Deck-mounted units sit lower and frankly look better from inside the room, and in this climate they are the ones we get called back out to.
Replacement is where most of our skylight work actually comes from, and the timing advice is simple enough. Where a unit has passed two decades and the roof is coming off anyway, replace the unit now. Lacing an old skylight into a new roof eats most of the price of a fresh one, and it parks a seal with a known expiry date underneath a roof you have just paid for.
Sun tunnels are worth mentioning because they solve a different problem far more cheaply. For a hallway, a stairwell or an interior bathroom with no exterior wall, a tubular unit brings daylight down through the attic in a reflective shaft without cutting a structural opening into the rafters at all. No header, no drywall shaft, and a fraction of the cost and the risk.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — six-nail high-wind fastening pattern, self-adhered ice and water shield, hot-air welded TPO seams, counter flashing let into a mortar joint, hidden gutter hangers on two-foot centers, curb-mounted skylight flashing kits — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Findlay and nearby communities including Fostoria, Bowling Green, Tiffin, Lima.

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 six-nail high-wind fastening pattern, self-adhered ice and water shield, hot-air welded TPO seams, counter flashing let into a mortar joint, 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 Findlay 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 Hancock County and northwest Ohio means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Findlay Chooses Findlay Roof Pros
- ✓We explain which office governs your building before quoting, because in Findlay a house and a fourplex answer to two different desks in two different counties.
- ✓The layer count goes in the quote. Somebody lifts a corner at the eave first, so the tear-off price is measured rather than assumed from a satellite image.
- ✓Every tear-off produces photographs of the bare deck before underlayment. On a house no inspector ever sees, that set of images replaces the inspection you never get.
- ✓Attic footprint measured and the required net free ventilating area run on the quote at published vent values, so you can check the arithmetic with a calculator.
