Flat Roof Skylights in West Lake Hills, TX

Flat Roof Skylights for West Lake Hills homes, done by experienced, insured independent crews. A flat or low-slope roof needs a fundamentally different skylight approach than a pitched composition shingle roof, because there's no natural slope to shed water away from the opening. Flat roof skylights are curb-mounted on a raised frame, with the flashing and drainage detailed specifically to keep standing water off the seal.

West Lake Hills and Rollingwood's mid-century originals sometimes carry flat or low-slope sections mixed with steeper custom-rebuild rooflines on the same block.

Can a standard skylight be installed on a flat roof?

Not safely without curb-mounting. A standard deck-mount skylight relies on roof slope to shed water and will pond and eventually leak on a flat or low-slope surface. Flat roofs need a curb-mounted unit raised above the roof plane with drainage specifically detailed around the base, which is a different installation method than a standard pitched-roof skylight.

What roof membrane types work with flat roof skylights?

TPO, EPDM, modified bitumen, and built-up roofing all support curb-mounted skylights, but each needs flashing and adhesion methods specific to that membrane. The crew identifies your roof membrane before finalizing the flashing approach so the skylight integrates with the existing roof system rather than working against it.
