Melbourne Roof Pros provides professional skylights in Melbourne, FL for residential and commercial properties across the Space Coast. Skylights split into two jobs that look identical from the ground and are completely different on paper. Replacing an existing unit rides along on the roofing permit as part of the covering. Cutting a new opening is a structural alteration with its own scope and its own inspection.
People are routinely quoted the second as though it were the first. A new opening means framing that interrupts rafters or trusses, a header, and a curb built to the manufacturer's dimensions, and none of that can be signed off by a roofer waving at it from the finished side. We separate the two on the estimate so you can see which one you are buying. The price difference between them is not small.
On replacement, the moment to do it is during the reroof and never afterwards. Cutting a new unit into a covering that is already down means disturbing courses that were sealed months ago, and the flashing kit needs to be woven into the field as it goes on rather than let in around it. Doing it later costs more and performs worse. Timing is the cheapest variable you control on this job.
We install curb-mounted units on a built curb of the correct height with the manufacturer's own step and head flashing, not a shop-fabricated approximation and certainly not a bed of sealant. The unit's Florida Product Approval covers it as a system with that flashing, and improvising the metal voids the thing the permit was issued against. Approvals cover systems, not parts, and improvised metal is not part of the system.
Now the unwelcome opinion. If you have an old acrylic dome that has yellowed and crazed, and the room beneath it is adequately lit, closing the opening during the reroof is frequently the better decision. Framing it out, sheathing it and running the covering across is cheaper than a new unit and removes a penetration from a roof that would rather not have one.
Where the light genuinely matters, we would rather fit one properly detailed unit than three cheap ones, and we will price it that way even where three smaller units would earn us more. Three cheap units are three penetrations and three future leaks, and the light they add is not three times better.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — eight-penny ring-shank deck fasteners driven flush to the sheathing, self-adhered underlayment rolled at the laps rather than hand-pressed, Florida Product Approval numbers named on the permit application, aluminum drip edge set beneath the underlayment at the eave, step flashing woven into the courses with counterflashing cut into a reglet, closed-cut valleys over a self-adhered valley liner — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Melbourne and nearby communities including Palm Bay, West Melbourne, Melbourne Village, Palm Shores.

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 eight-penny ring-shank deck fasteners driven flush to the sheathing, self-adhered underlayment rolled at the laps rather than hand-pressed, Florida Product Approval numbers named on the permit application, aluminum drip edge set beneath the underlayment 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 Melbourne 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 Space Coast means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Melbourne Chooses Melbourne Roof Pros
- ✓We pull the county and city permit record for your address before we quote, because it decides what can lawfully be repaired and what cannot
- ✓Fascia, soffit and gutter work is quoted separately by default, so bundling does not push your contract past the recording threshold without you choosing it
- ✓The estimate names the assembly by Florida Product Approval number, so what turns up on the pallet can be checked against what the permit was issued for
- ✓Deck nailing is photographed and certified by affidavit where the authority accepts one, which usually removes days from the schedule
The standards behind skylights
Quality here is not a matter of opinion — it is written down. The skylights work we do in Melbourne 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 Melbourne 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.
