Overland Park Roof Pros provides professional skylights in Overland Park, KS for residential and commercial properties across the Kansas side of the Kansas City metro. Don't add a skylight during a storm-funded reroof. It's the single most common regret we hear about on this street, and the reason is that the decision gets made in a week when you're already saying yes to things.
The pitch sounds reasonable. The roof is open anyway, the crew is here, and the extra cost looks small against a five-figure job. What isn't mentioned is that you're cutting a permanent hole in a watertight assembly, on a timeline set by a hailstorm. If you want a skylight, want it in a normal month, for a room that's genuinely dark. Then it's a good product. Rushed into a claim scope, it's a leak with a view.
Skylights also expose the everything-crew problem more clearly than any other part of a roof. A curb-mounted unit needs a properly built and flashed curb, a step-flashed head and sides, and a saddle or cricket above it if the unit is wide and there's roof above shedding onto it. That's sheet metal work, not shingle work, and a crew assembled for a busy season after a Johnson County storm often has nobody on it who's done it.
Ask directly. Who on your crew is doing the flashing, and are you using the manufacturer's flashing kit for this exact model. The kit exists, it's model-specific, and it's the difference between a skylight that goes twenty years and one that stains a ceiling by the second spring. If the answer is that they'll flash it with membrane and sealant, that's not an installation, that's a hole with tape on it.
Our honest position on repairs: most leaking skylights in this market are not leaking through the glass. They're leaking at the flashing, or they're not leaking at all and you're seeing condensation on a builder-grade acrylic dome from the eighties. Condensation runs down the inside of the frame and pools at the low corner, which looks exactly like a leak and isn't one.
So we test before we quote. If it's flashing, we reflash it and keep the unit. If the unit is a thirty-year-old acrylic dome that's gone brittle and yellow, replacing it with a modern insulated glass unit fixes the condensation, and we'll say so. And if you have four of them and one is bad, we'll fix one.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — self-adhered ice-and-water membrane at valleys and eaves, synthetic underlayment with a slip-resistant walking surface, six ring-shank nails set in the manufacturer's nailing zone, hemmed drip edge lapped over the eave membrane, step flashing woven course by course at sidewalls, counterflashing cut into chimney mortar joints — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Overland Park and nearby communities including Olathe, Shawnee, Lenexa, Leawood.

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 self-adhered ice-and-water membrane at valleys and eaves, synthetic underlayment with a slip-resistant walking surface, six ring-shank nails set in the manufacturer's nailing zone, hemmed drip edge lapped over the eave membrane, 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 Overland 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 Kansas side of the Kansas City metro means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Overland Park Chooses Overland Park Roof Pros
- ✓We hand you both numbers up front. The Kansas Attorney General registration certificate and the Johnson County Class DR roofing license are on the first page of every estimate, so you can look us up before you talk price.
- ✓We pull the permit. Kansas writes a roofer's registration number onto every permit issued, which makes the permit the one record of your roof that a third party created and that outlives any company.
- ✓We take payment on delivery, not on signature. Abandoning a job after taking a deposit is named in Kansas statute as grounds for revoking a registration, and we would rather not ask you to trust us on that point.
- ✓We turn down coatings on shingle roofs. It is the fastest, least verifiable job in roofing and the one a departing crew most wants to sell, so we decline it and explain why.
The standards behind skylights
Quality here is not a matter of opinion — it is written down. The skylights work we do in Overland Park 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.
