Del Rio Roof Pros provides professional skylights in Del Rio, TX for residential and commercial properties across Val Verde County and the Lower Pecos. A skylight is the slowest-reporting detail on a roof in this county. It can pass a cup of water a year into a drywall shaft for six years running, and the first thing anybody notices is a brown line that appears overnight and looks like a burst pipe.
That is not an argument against skylights generally. It is an argument against them here in particular, because the two things that normally catch the problem early are both missing. Frequent rain does not test the unit, and nobody opens a closed shaft to look. By the time it reaches drywall the framing around that shaft has been damp for several seasons. By then the repair is drywall and framing rather than roofing.
If you are adding daylight to a house that has none, we will usually suggest a tubular unit instead. Fewer feet of flashing, a factory-formed curb, no rafters cut, and a failure mode that shows itself at the ceiling ring where somebody will see it. The domes yellow eventually, but swapping one is a twenty-minute job rather than a roofing job.
If you already have skylights, the rule we work to is that they get replaced along with the roof and never on their own schedule. Reusing a twenty-year-old unit under new material saves perhaps six hundred dollars and buries the one component with a limited seal life underneath everything else. It also means flashing and roofing go on together, in order, by one crew. Six hundred dollars saved against a ceiling rebuild is a poor bargain.
Curb-mount with the manufacturer's own flashing kit, self-adhered membrane carried up the curb, head flashing lapped over the underlayment rather than tucked beneath it. Deck-mounted units without a curb are cheaper and we do not fit them here, because they leave no second line of defense when the primary seal finally gives. The head flashing is where most of them eventually give up.
And that kit is model-specific, which in this county means ordering it and waiting for it. We would rather quote a two-week lead time and fit the correct flashing than form something out of coil stock on the day and seal over the difference. Waiting two weeks is cheaper than a leak you find out about in six years. We will show you the kit part number before we order it.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — counterflashing let into the mortar joint, self-adhered membrane at valley terminations, concealed-fastener standing seam, tapered insulation falls toward the drains, two-ply modified bitumen cap sheet, mechanically attached thermoplastic membrane — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Del Rio and nearby communities including Cienegas Terrace, Val Verde Park, Laughlin AFB, Lake View.

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 counterflashing let into the mortar joint, self-adhered membrane at valley terminations, concealed-fastener standing seam, tapered insulation falls toward the drains, 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 Del Rio 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 Val Verde County and the Lower Pecos means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Del Rio Chooses Del Rio Roof Pros
- ✓We water-test every repair before calling it finished, because in a county with sixty rain days a year nothing else actually proves the detail holds.
- ✓We specify roofing you can still buy nine years from now, not the line with the handsomest brochure and the thinnest distribution west of San Antonio.
- ✓We open the roof and the attic before quoting a replacement, so the number you receive already accounts for whatever the sheathing turns out to be.
- ✓We will write you a letter confirming there is no hail damage, and in this county we end up writing that letter more often than we file a claim.

If a contractor cannot tell you which standard a detail comes from, that is worth asking about before you sign.
