Clearwater Premium Roofing provides professional skylights in Clearwater, FL for residential and commercial properties across the Pinellas peninsula. Skylights leak at their metal, almost without exception. The glass unit itself rarely fails. The aluminum cladding, the step flashing up the curb, the head and apron pieces and the fasteners holding all of it are what salt air works on, and they are what we inspect first.
Curb-mounted units are what we prefer here, and we say so on every estimate. A curb lifts the glazing several inches above the roof plane, keeping standing water and wind-driven spray away from the seal line, and it lets us flash it with replaceable pieces. Deck-mounted units sit lower and look cleaner, but their flashing kit is a factory part, and when its aluminum pits at the fastener line the fix is a whole new unit.
The flashing sequence is what we actually get paid for. Apron at the bottom lapped over the course below, step flashing woven course by course up both sides, head flashing with a saddle where the slope is long enough to warrant one, and a counterflashing or cladding piece over the top of each. Everything in aluminum on coastal addresses, everything fastened with stainless, and nothing relying on sealant as a primary defense.
Condensation gets misdiagnosed as a leak constantly here. A skylight shaft in a humid attic will drip along its lower edge on a cool morning with no water entry anywhere on the roof. We check for that specifically before selling a repair, because the fix is insulation and shaft detailing rather than roofing, and it would be both easy and dishonest to sell the wrong job to somebody who cannot see the difference.
We will also recommend removing a skylight when that is the right answer. A small, old, hazed acrylic dome over a hallway, in a roof about to be replaced, is usually not worth reflashing. Decking the opening over and finishing the ceiling costs less than a new unit and removes a permanent maintenance item from a salt-exposed roof for good.
Where the daylight genuinely matters, a solar tube gives you most of it through a much smaller penetration and a far simpler flashing. New installations get impact-rated glazing, a curb built and flashed by us rather than by a framer, and a written note of exactly which flashing pieces are replaceable and how, so the next roofer is not guessing.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — stainless ring-shank nails, hot-dip galvanized drip edge, 316 stainless fasteners, G90 galvanized steel, Kynar 500 PVDF finish, aluminum valley pan metal — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Clearwater and nearby communities including St. Petersburg, Largo, Palm Harbor, Pinellas Park.

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 stainless ring-shank nails, hot-dip galvanized drip edge, 316 stainless fasteners, G90 galvanized steel, 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 Clearwater 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 Pinellas peninsula means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.
