Grand Junction Premium Roofing provides professional skylights in Grand Junction, CO for residential and commercial properties across the Grand Valley. A skylight is a hole cut through the most weather-exposed surface of a house. On ground that moves it is also a rigid box being asked to stay square while the frame around it does not. That combination decides how we install every one of them here.
We fit curb-mounted units almost exclusively. A curb built as its own framed assembly and flashed with a manufactured kit gives the opening a defined edge, and it lets the head flashing be a genuine two-piece detail that can slide. Deck-mounted units sit lower and look better on the elevation, but they tie the glazing frame straight to a deck that may rack, and when it racks the seal is what gives way.
Flashing sequence is not negotiable. Sill pan first. Step flashing up both sides, woven course by course. Head flashing over the top with shingles lapping it, never the reverse. And a saddle or cricket upslope of any curb wider than roughly two feet, so water is split around rather than dammed above it. Almost every leaking skylight we open was installed with a kit that got partly used and finished with sealant.
Sun in this valley is something to design for rather than maximize. At this elevation, with this many clear days, an oversized clear skylight on a south or west plane will cook the room beneath it. So we steer people toward fewer and smaller units, laminated low-emissivity glazing rather than acrylic domes, and north-facing placement wherever the room plan allows it.
Where somebody wants daylight rather than a view, a tubular daylight device wins on both cost and performance, and we recommend it freely despite the considerably smaller invoice it earns us. Smaller penetration, simpler flashing, far less heat gain, a fraction of the price. In a hallway, a stairwell or a windowless bath it does everything a skylight would have done.
If your existing skylight is twenty-five years old, fogged between the panes and leaking, replace the unit rather than reflashing around it. Sealed glazing units have a service life like anything else, and reflashing a failed one means paying for the same labor twice inside a decade. Glazing units are consumables. Curbs and flashing are not, which is exactly why we build the curb properly the first time.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — two-piece counterflashing set into a sawn mortar reglet, self-adhered ice-and-water membrane at valleys and penetrations, floating clips and slotted trim holes on standing seam steel, six-nail fastening patterns sized for downslope canyon wind, framed and flashed chimney crickets above thirty inches, reinforced acrylic elastomeric coating at specified dry film thickness — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Grand Junction and nearby communities including Clifton, Fruita, Redlands, Fruitvale.

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 two-piece counterflashing set into a sawn mortar reglet, self-adhered ice-and-water membrane at valleys and penetrations, floating clips and slotted trim holes on standing seam steel, six-nail fastening patterns sized for downslope canyon wind, 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 Grand Junction 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 Grand Valley means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Grand Junction Chooses Grand Junction Premium Roofing
- ✓We read the inside of a house before pricing the outside, because on Mancos Shale a leak that returns each spring is movement rather than material wear.
- ✓Two-piece counterflashing cut into a sawn mortar reglet is our standard chimney detail, never an upcharge, because sealed one-piece metal fails here on a seasonal cycle.
- ✓We argue against impact-rated shingles on this side of the divide. Mesa County logged 14 hail reports from 2016 to 2025; Larimer County logged 143.
- ✓Inspection fees are never credited against work. An inspector who only gets paid when you buy a roof has stopped being an inspector.
The standards behind skylights
Quality here is not a matter of opinion — it is written down. The skylights work we do in Grand Junction 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.
