Ogden Roof Pros provides professional skylights in Ogden, UT for residential and commercial properties across Weber County and the northern Wasatch Front. Every skylight is an opening cut through the roof plane with a glazed lid over it, and in Ogden that lid must hold against a design wind speed of 115 to 120 miles per hour. That drives two decisions: how it is mounted, and how the curb is attached.
We build curb-mounted units on a site-framed curb wherever the roof allows. The curb is fastened through the deck into blocking rather than sheathing alone, the height gets set with the ground snow load in mind rather than trimmed to look low, and the flashing steps up the curb sides like a chimney. Deck-mounted units sit lower and look better, and on a steep bench roof they are fine, but we reach for the curb when uplift governs.
Existing skylights get judged on the flashing, not the glass. Nearly every skylight leak we open up in this county is a flashing or a curb attachment problem, and the unit itself is fine. That means the honest repair is usually reflashing rather than replacement, and we will price it that way even though the replacement pays us better.
There is one caveat worth knowing about replacement timing. If the surrounding roof is within a few years of the end of its life, installing a new skylight into it means flashing the same opening twice and paying for it twice. In that case we will tell you to wait and do them together, and we will give you a proper temporary repair to get there.
Utah's licensing rules touch this work specifically and it is worth knowing what your roofer is allowed to do. The S280 roofing classification in the state administrative code covers installation of non-electrical skylights outright. Electrical skylights, meaning the powered and solar units with motors and controls, are covered only if the electrical connection is performed by a licensed E200 or E201 electrical contractor. We follow that split and bring the electrician in rather than making the connection ourselves.
Tubular daylighting devices are worth considering for hallways, baths and interior rooms. A tube carries a great deal of daylight down a shaft only ten or fourteen inches across, and a narrower opening through the roof plane is a smaller structural and waterproofing risk in a market like this one. That is the whole reason we raise them.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — an enhanced nailing schedule keyed to the corner and perimeter wind zones, asphalt shingles carrying an ASTM D3161 Class F rating, hemmed edge metal locked onto a continuous cleat at the eave and rake, mechanically seamed 24-gauge standing seam with a double-lock rib, gable-end trusses braced back into the attic framing, sheathing re-nailed to the rafters on the courses inboard of each rake — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Ogden and nearby communities including Roy, North Ogden, South Ogden, Riverdale.

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 an enhanced nailing schedule keyed to the corner and perimeter wind zones, asphalt shingles carrying an ASTM D3161 Class F rating, hemmed edge metal locked onto a continuous cleat at the eave and rake, mechanically seamed 24-gauge standing seam with a double-lock rib, 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 Ogden 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 Weber County and the northern Wasatch Front means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Ogden Chooses Ogden Roof Pros
- ✓Every inspection starts on the east-facing planes and the rakes, because that is the side a Wasatch downslope wind loads and the side most reports skip entirely.
- ✓We state which exposure category we think your address sits in and why, because Ogden City's own design criteria lists B or C and leaves the choice to the person doing the work.
- ✓Corner and perimeter zones get an enhanced nailing schedule as standard. It buys more real uplift resistance per dollar than upgrading to a thicker shingle does.
- ✓Soffit and gable-end bracing get checked on every wind call, because a soffit that blows in pressurizes the attic and lifts the deck from underneath before the shingles ever fail.
The standards behind skylights
Quality here is not a matter of opinion — it is written down. The skylights work we do in Ogden 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 Ogden 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.
