Muncie Roof Pros provides professional skylights in Muncie, IN for residential and commercial properties across East Central Indiana. Most skylights in Muncie arrived with an attic conversion. Somebody turned the top floor into a bedroom, needed light and egress-adjacent daylight, and cut an opening in a roof that was never designed for one.
That history explains why so many of them leak. A unit set into an old board deck without a manufacturer's step-flashing kit, sealed with a rope of caulk at the head, and finished with a drywall shaft that hides the evidence until the ceiling below stains. Water gets in at the head and the upslope corners almost every time, and the shaft carries it a surprising distance before it shows.
When we replace one, it is a curb-mounted or deck-mounted unit with the manufacturer's own flashing kit for that model and that roof pitch, self-adhered membrane wrapped up the curb and lapped correctly with the field, and a head diverter above it if there is any run of roof above. Skylight flashing is a system that ships in a box. Substituting site-made metal for it is where the failures start.
Here is the recommendation that surprises people. On a rented house, we will often propose removing the skylight, framing the opening, decking it over and finishing the roof plane rather than replacing the unit. It removes the leak permanently, it costs less than a good replacement, and the room loses daylight nobody has been enjoying anyway because the shaft was drywalled and painted shut years ago.
For an owner-occupied house where the daylight matters, replace rather than repair once a unit is past its service life. The seals in an insulated glass panel fail, the flashing corrodes, and rebuilding around a twenty-five year old frame gives you a new flashing kit protecting an old unit. Match the replacement to the opening rather than reframing to fit a stock size.
Condensation on the interior glass is not a leak, and we get called out for it every winter without fail. It means humid indoor air is meeting a cold surface, which usually points at a bathroom with no exhaust path, a kitchen fan recirculating rather than venting, or dead attic space around the shaft itself. We will diagnose that first and tell you, rather than quoting you a replacement skylight you may well not need at all.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — board decking re-sheathed in 7/16-inch panel over the original planks, self-adhered membrane run up from the eave past the heated wall, laminate shingles rated to ASTM D3161 Class F, six fasteners per shingle in the common bond area, aluminum drip edge at the eave and the rake, counterflashing cut into a saw-cut reglet in brick — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Muncie and nearby communities including Yorktown, Selma, Eaton, Albany.

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 board decking re-sheathed in 7/16-inch panel over the original planks, self-adhered membrane run up from the eave past the heated wall, laminate shingles rated to ASTM D3161 Class F, six fasteners per shingle in the common bond area, 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 Muncie 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 East Central Indiana means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Muncie Chooses Muncie Roof Pros
- ✓We quote the ownership horizon as well as the roof, because a house you intend to keep and a house you intend to rent for five more years deserve different specifications and a printed price difference between them
- ✓Inspections are written in the language of Muncie Code section 155.26, so the report works in front of the Building Commissioner, a lender, a tenant or a landlord who has not been answering the phone
- ✓Every proposal names the underlayment, the flashing metal, the fastener pattern and the intake-to-exhaust ventilation split, so two bids can actually be compared rather than guessed at
- ✓Indiana licenses no roofers and Muncie registers four trades that do not include roofing, so we lead with the permit number, the carrier's certificate and the photographs instead of a card
The standards behind skylights
Quality here is not a matter of opinion — it is written down. The skylights work we do in Muncie 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.
Every skylights project in Muncie gets the same attention, whether it is a single room or a full commercial job. We show up on schedule, keep the site clean, and stand behind the work — the estimate is free and there is no pressure.
