Oceanside Roof Pros provides professional skylights & curb flashing in Oceanside, CA for residential and commercial properties across north San Diego County. A skylight is a hole in a waterproof surface, and its lifespan is decided by the eight inches of detail around the frame. On flat and shallow sections, the wrong unit type is why we get called back to lights only a few years old.
The product we argue against on low-slope work is the self-flashed or deck-mounted unit set directly on the membrane. On a pitched roof gravity does most of the work and those units perform well. On a nearly level deck, water sits against the frame skirt, finds the fastener line, and there is no slope to carry it away. We will not install one below three in twelve.
What we install instead is a curb, and a taller one than most crews use. Site-built and flashed to eight inches minimum above the finished surface, with the roof membrane run up the outside of the curb and terminated under a metal cap, then the unit set on the curb with a continuous butyl bed. On a wide curb we add a cricket on the uphill side so water splits and goes around instead of pooling behind it.
On tile slopes the failure is different. A skylight set in a tile field needs a soaker pan with a raised leg and the tile cut back to keep a clear water path, plus counterflashing that laps the pan by at least four inches. Mortar troweled around the frame is the repair we find most often and it is a dam. The pan gets soldered or welded at the corners, never sealed with a bead.
Repairs get triaged before replacement gets quoted. Condensation running down the inside of a shaft in a bathroom is a ventilation problem, not a leak. Fogging between panes means a failed seal and a glass unit, not a new curb. Water at one corner is nearly always flashing, and that we can fix without touching the light. We test with a hose before quoting glass.
Tubular daylighting devices are worth mentioning for interior rooms and hallways, since the flashing is a single small pan and the ceiling work is trivial next to framing a full shaft. On a low-slope section we still set them on a curb, because the same water sits against the same skirt regardless of unit size.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — torch-applied APP modified bitumen, two-ply SBS granulated cap sheet, sixty-mil hot-air-welded PVC membrane, tapered polyisocyanurate insulation, hot-mop built-up roofing with gravel surface, mineral-surfaced rolled roofing — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Oceanside and nearby communities including Vista, Carlsbad, San Marcos, Encinitas.

Materials, equipment and how we do skylights & curb flashing
The difference between skylights & curb flashing that lasts and skylights & curb flashing that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with torch-applied APP modified bitumen, two-ply SBS granulated cap sheet, sixty-mil hot-air-welded PVC membrane, tapered polyisocyanurate insulation, 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 Oceanside 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 north San Diego County means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.
