West Jordan Roof Pros provides professional skylights in West Jordan, UT for residential and commercial properties across the Salt Lake Valley. Most wet skylights we are called to in winter are not leaking. Glass is the coldest surface in the room, the shaft above it works as a chimney for warm damp air, and water running down a jamb on a January morning condensed there rather than came through.
You can tell them apart without opening anything. Condensation arrives on clear cold mornings, is worst after a night of cooking or showers, and dries off by afternoon. A leak follows precipitation and leaves a stain that spreads outward over time. Beaded glass with damp drywall at the top corners of the shaft is an interior problem. A leak worsens with wind direction.
That leads to a recommendation we make often and most companies do not: we will not put a skylight over a bathroom or a kitchen on the valley floor. Those rooms generate the moisture, the shaft delivers it to the coldest glass in the building, and the owner spends the next several years convinced the roof failed. We will fit one if you insist, after putting the reasoning in writing.
Where a skylight does belong, in a hallway, a stairwell or a north-facing workroom, it should be a laminated, insulated, curb-mounted unit with the manufacturer's step-flashing kit. The shaft is insulated to at least the value of the ceiling it passes through, with an air barrier at the ceiling plane. Both are skipped constantly and both are cheap at install. A shaft finished in bare drywall with no air barrier runs water every cold morning.
If daylight rather than a view is the actual goal, a tubular device is the better purchase in this climate. A domed collector on the roof, a mirrored tube through the attic, a sealed diffuser in the ceiling: far less cold glass, far less roof to detail, no open shaft for house air to climb. Two of them cost less than one skylight. They cost a fraction of the install labor, with no framing to open.
When a unit genuinely is leaking, it is nearly always the flashing rather than the glass, and nearly always an installation that relied on sealant. Replace skylights when the roof is replaced. Cutting a new curb into an aging, sealed field costs more later and never seals as well as a factory kit on fresh sheathing. On a unit over twenty years old, replacing during a reroof beats reflashing it.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — vapor-permeable synthetic underlayment, self-adhered eave and valley membrane, ring-shank sheathing nails at six inches on center, copper-bearing algae-resistant granules, polymer-modified asphalt shingle mat, 24-gauge standing-seam steel over a drainage mat — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve West Jordan and nearby communities including Taylorsville, Murray, Midvale, South Salt Lake.

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 vapor-permeable synthetic underlayment, self-adhered eave and valley membrane, ring-shank sheathing nails at six inches on center, copper-bearing algae-resistant granules, 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 West Jordan 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 Salt Lake Valley means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why West Jordan Chooses West Jordan Roof Pros
- ✓We meter the roof sheathing from the attic before quoting, and those readings go into the estimate
- ✓Eave courses are probed by hand, because the bottom four feet is where valley roofs fail first
- ✓Vapor-permeable underlayment across the field, so a damp deck can still dry upward through the assembly
- ✓Ceiling-plane air sealing is quoted before extra roof vents, because it fixes more attics for less money

Quality here is not a matter of opinion — it is written down. The skylights work we do in West Jordan 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.
