Pomona Roof Pros provides professional skylights & roof windows in Pomona, CA for residential and commercial properties across the Pomona Valley. The commonest skylight on an older Pomona house is a plastic dome on a site-built curb, fitted sometime in the 1970s or 1980s, and it is leaking. There are three honest answers to that and replacement is only one of them. Two of the three cost less.
The first answer is that it is not leaking at all. Acrylic domes sweat. A cold night after a warm day puts condensation on the inside of the dome, it runs down the shaft, and it stains the drywall in exactly the place a leak would. If the staining is worst on clear winter mornings and absent during rain, the fix is insulating and venting the shaft, not reroofing anything.
The second answer is removal. If the room has other daylight, if the dome is crazed and yellow, and if the roof is coming off anyway, closing the opening properly is cheaper than a new unit. Frame it in, deck it, roof across it, and the penetration is gone permanently. We suggest this often and people are usually relieved to hear it. One fewer penetration is one fewer thing to flash forever.
The third answer is a real replacement, and then the unit matters. A factory curb-mounted skylight with a laminated pane, a low-E coating and the manufacturer's own step and head flashing kit is a different product from a dome on a wood curb. Deck-mounted units sit lower and look better on a shallow slope. Curb-mounted units forgive more on a low-slope plane and on tile. We fit both and will say which suits your slope.
Flashing is where installations fail, not glass. Head flashing over the upper course, step flashing woven into each course up both sides, an apron below, and a self-adhered membrane turned up the curb. On tile the unit needs a curb tall enough to clear the profile, plus lead or malleable pans formed to the pan and cover courses. Anything less on a tile roof and water walks straight under the curb.
Sequence it with the roof. Putting a new skylight into a plane that comes off in two years pays for the flashing twice, and we will say so rather than book the smaller job now. If the roof is going anyway, the skylight belongs in the reroof scope where the flashing is already being bought.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — architectural laminated shingles with six-nail fastening, SBS polymer-modified asphalt shingles, 1x6 spaced sheathing overlaid with half-inch plywood, two-ply modified bitumen with a granulated cap sheet, salvaged mission and S-profile clay barrel tile, 24-gauge standing seam with concealed sliding clips — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Pomona and nearby communities including Claremont, La Verne, San Dimas, Diamond Bar.

Materials, equipment and how we do skylights & roof windows
The difference between skylights & roof windows that lasts and skylights & roof windows that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with architectural laminated shingles with six-nail fastening, SBS polymer-modified asphalt shingles, 1x6 spaced sheathing overlaid with half-inch plywood, two-ply modified bitumen with a granulated cap sheet, 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 Pomona 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 Pomona Valley means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.
