Orland Park Roof Pros provides professional skylights in Orland Park, IL for residential and commercial properties across the Cook County southwest suburbs. A skylight is another hole in the edge of a roof, and we treat it as one. The curb is a small building sitting on your slope, with four corners, a head, two sides and a shaft running down through cold air.
Most skylight calls we take here are not flashing failures at all. A shaft rising from a warm ceiling through an unheated attic will condense along its whole run if it has not been insulated and sealed, and that water works its way down the drywall reveal. The owner reports a leaking skylight during a dry cold snap, which is the same tell we get with attic frost.
So we look at the shaft before blaming anything on the roof, and the report names whichever of the two was actually at fault. Where the shaft is the problem the cure is insulation and air sealing from inside, which is a day's work and involves nobody going near your covering. We would far rather write that than sell you a flashing kit. It is also the cheapest honest answer available on this page.
Where the roof genuinely is at fault it is nearly always geometry rather than sealant. The maker's own stepped kit matched to your covering, the head piece tucked beneath the course above, the curb wrapped in a collar of self-adhered membrane, and a saddle framed behind anything wide so water parts before it reaches the frame. Sealant supports that arrangement and never substitutes for it.
Glass has a service life of its own. Sealed units from the 1990s let go at the spacer bar, and once that has happened the misting between the panes is permanent regardless of what anyone sprays on it. If yours is that vintage and the covering is due anyway, replacing both at once costs far less than opening a new roof to reach the skylight later.
The one thing we will not do is widen an opening. Adding a light, enlarging one, or swapping a fixed unit for a bigger operable model means cutting framing and building headers, and on subdivision framing of this era that is a design question carrying a stamp. Bring us a stamped detail and we will build it. Without one the answer is no. Cutting a truss web with a saw on the roof is damage, not a shortcut.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — rigid externally baffled ridge vent fastened at the tightened published schedule, quarter-inch galvanized hardware cloth set behind the vented soffit run, aluminum soffit panels screwed to solid sub-fascia instead of snapped into J-channel, boxed gable returns closed with a sealed cornice block at the rake terminus, stainless chimney cap with a screened surround sized to the flue opening, cast lead pipe collars in place of molded rubber vent boots — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Orland Park and nearby communities including Tinley Park, Orland Hills, Homer Glen, Palos Heights.

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 rigid externally baffled ridge vent fastened at the tightened published schedule, quarter-inch galvanized hardware cloth set behind the vented soffit run, aluminum soffit panels screwed to solid sub-fascia instead of snapped into J-channel, boxed gable returns closed with a sealed cornice block at the rake terminus, 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 Orland Park 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 Cook County southwest suburbs means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Orland Park Chooses Orland Park Roof Pros
- ✓We price the perimeter as its own section of the bid, because on an Orland Park house the ridge, soffit, rake and gable return are where the roof actually fails first.
- ✓Ridge vent is specified by type and fastener spacing rather than by the foot, and we will explain in writing why we do not put soft rolled matting on houses this close to the preserve.
- ✓Every inspection includes an occupancy check, and if something is living up there the wildlife operator goes first and we take the delay.
- ✓Soffit panels get screwed to solid wood with hardware cloth behind the vented sections, instead of being snapped back into the same J-channel that failed.
