Fontana Roof Pros provides professional roof skylight installation in Fontana, CA for residential and commercial properties across the western Inland Empire. A skylight in Fontana is a hole in the roof that admits heat as well as light.
That is not an argument against skylights. It is an argument for fewer, smaller, better-glazed ones, placed where the sun does not sit.
That reasoning changes nearly every recommendation on this page. Orientation first, because it is free. A west-facing skylight takes the afternoon sun at exactly the hours the house is already losing the cooling battle.
North faces give even light all day with the least gain, and east is a reasonable compromise. If the room only works with a south or west opening, that is fine — it just means the glazing spend moves up, not down.
Glazing is where the money should go. Laminated glass with a spectrally selective low-E coating and a warm-edge spacer passes daylight while rejecting a large share of the solar heat, and laminated construction means it does not shed glass if something hits it. We size and specify to a solar heat gain coefficient, and we will show you the numbers for two or three units rather than telling you the good one.
We argue against acrylic dome units on houses. In this ultraviolet load they craze, yellow and go brittle, the curb detail is usually the cheapest part of the assembly, and after a decade the leak is the dome rather than the flashing. If there is already a set of them on your roof, replacing them with glass units in the same openings is one of the more satisfying upgrades available.
Often the honest recommendation is a tubular daylight device instead. For a hallway, a laundry, a bathroom or an interior kitchen, a ten or fourteen inch tube delivers usable daylight for a fraction of the price of a curbed unit, has far less glazing area to gain heat through, and is dramatically simpler to flash. We install both and we will tell you which one your room actually needs.
Every unit we set goes curb-mounted with the manufacturer's flashing kit, stepped into the field, with a cricket on the upslope side wherever the roof above is wide enough to concentrate water. Deck-mounted flush units and site-built flashing improvised out of roof cement are where skylights earned their bad reputation, and both are still being installed on this valley's roofs today.
Our insured and bonded team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — cool-rated architectural shingles, high-temperature SBS-modified underlayment, batten-set concrete tile with a one-inch air space, Kynar 500 PVDF standing-seam panels, heat-welded TPO membrane, reflective elastomeric coating — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Fontana and nearby communities including Rialto, Bloomington, Colton, Grand Terrace.

Materials, equipment and how we do roof skylight installation
The difference between roof skylight installation that lasts and roof skylight installation that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with cool-rated architectural shingles, high-temperature SBS-modified underlayment, batten-set concrete tile with a one-inch air space, Kynar 500 PVDF standing-seam panels, 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 Fontana 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 western Inland Empire means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.
