Fort Lauderdale Roof Pros provides professional skylights in Fort Lauderdale, FL for residential and commercial properties across Broward County. A skylight is glazing, and glazing in Broward has to survive an impact test before it can be permitted. That single fact rules out most of what is sold as a skylight nationally, because you cannot put a shutter over a hole in a roof.
Everywhere else in a building, code lets you choose between impact-rated glazing and an approved shutter. On a roof there is no practical second option, so the unit itself must hold an approval covering impact and uplift for this zone. Laminated glass units and tested acrylic domes qualify. A clear plastic bubble bought online almost never does, and it will not clear a plans review.
The flashing kit is part of that approval, which people find counter-intuitive. A skylight is approved as a unit plus its curb and its specific flashing components, so site-fabricated metal or a bed of sealant around a frame is not a substitute, it is a different and untested detail. Almost every leaking skylight we are called to has been sealed at some point by somebody hoping sealant would do the flashing's job.
Curb height matters more here than in a dry climate. A unit set low on a roof that receives horizontal rain and standing water at the upslope side will take water over the top of the flashing regardless of how well the flashing was made, so we build curbs to the height the approval specifies and we do not shortcut it for appearance.
Replacement is usually the better call on an old skylight, and it is cheapest during a reroof while the covering is already off and the flashing can be woven into new underlayment. Replacing one afterwards means disturbing a finished roof, and on tile it means lifting and resetting a field of units around it. If a reroof is anywhere in your next few years, decide about the skylights now rather than paying twice for the same access.
If you are chasing daylight rather than a view, say so, because a tubular daylight device is often a better answer. Small approved dome, reflective shaft, far less heat gain, far fewer places to leak. It costs less than a glazed unit, and we will recommend it whenever the goal is daylight in a hallway, a bathroom or a windowless kitchen.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — Miami-Dade NOA-approved assemblies, ASTM D1970 self-adhered underlayment, 8d ring-shank deck re-nailing, TAS 100(A) rated ridge vents, 26-gauge Galvalume standing seam panels, stainless steel tile fasteners — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Fort Lauderdale and nearby communities including Hollywood, Pembroke Pines, Coral Springs, Miramar.

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 Miami-Dade NOA-approved assemblies, ASTM D1970 self-adhered underlayment, 8d ring-shank deck re-nailing, TAS 100(A) rated ridge vents, 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 Fort Lauderdale 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 Broward County means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.
