New Braunfels Roof Pros provides professional skylights in New Braunfels, TX for residential and commercial properties across the southern Hill Country. A skylight in a metal roof is a curb problem before it is a glass problem. The unit sits on a curb tall enough that water running down the panel cannot reach the top of it, and that height is set by the profile rather than the catalog.
Deck-mounted flashing kits, the kind that work beautifully on a shingle roof, get used on panels constantly and they should not be. They are designed to sit on a flat plane and be woven into courses. On a ribbed panel they leave a void under every rib, the installer fills it with sealant, and the sealant fails inside three years. We take those off and start over more often than we install new ones.
The correct detail is a curb-mounted unit with a fabricated pan. We form the pan from the same coil as the roof, run the upslope leg high under the panel above, hem the downslope apron over the panel below, and add a cricket above anything wider than about thirty inches so water divides instead of pooling against the curb. Every piece of that pan is folded on our own brake to the panel's dimensions.
On shingle roofs the standard kits are excellent and we use them, with step flashing and head flashing installed in sequence rather than laid over a finished roof. Most skylight leaks we are called out to on shingles are not the skylight at all. They are a flashing kit installed afterward, on top of the shingles. Reflashing an existing unit properly costs less than most owners expect. The glass is usually fine.
Glass matters in this sun. Laminated, low-emissivity glazing with a warm-edge spacer, and impact-rated units where hail is the concern. Acrylic domes yellow, craze and eventually split under years of ultraviolet exposure, and we replace far more of them than we install. If you have a twenty-year-old bubble skylight, the crack is coming. Condensation on the inside of a frame is a different problem, and it is usually humidity rather than a leak.
Placement is worth an argument. North light is steady and will not cook the room; a west-facing unit over a living space becomes a heat source from three o'clock onward. Tubular units bring daylight into a hallway or a bath with almost no thermal penalty, and they are far simpler to flash into a panel roof. We will mock the opening up with tape on the ceiling before anybody cuts anything.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — 24-gauge striated standing seam panel, PBR exposed-fastener panel, floating clips at panel mid-span, bonded EPDM washers under fastener heads, high-temperature self-adhered underlayment, butyl tape sidelap sealant — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve New Braunfels and nearby communities including Seguin, San Marcos, Kyle, Schertz.

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 24-gauge striated standing seam panel, PBR exposed-fastener panel, floating clips at panel mid-span, bonded EPDM washers under fastener heads, 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 New Braunfels 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 southern Hill Country means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.
