Terre Haute Premium Roofing provides professional skylights in Terre Haute, IN for residential and commercial properties across the Wabash Valley. A skylight is a hole you cut on purpose in the one part of a house whose entire job is not having holes. Detailed properly, it outlasts the shingles surrounding it. Detailed cheaply, it becomes the thing you call about every March. Usually in the rain.
Indiana's residential code is specific here in a way it never is about gutters. Glazing material, curb height above the roof plane, and flashing requirements are all written down and enforceable, and it is the same book in every jurisdiction in this state, from the middle of the city out to the county line and beyond. It is one of the few roof items where the code has a real, checkable answer.
Curb-mounted over deck-mounted, nearly always. A curb lifts the unit above the water plane and lets us step-flash and counterflash it the way we would a very small chimney. Deck-mounted units sit lower, look sleeker in a photograph, and lean far harder on a factory flashing kit staying perfect for twenty years. On a house you plan to keep, take the curb and take the extra inch.
We replace the flashing kit any time we replace the roof around a skylight. Reusing old step and head flashing to save a couple of hundred dollars is how a good new roof develops a leak in its second winter, and then you are paying twice for one detail. It is a false economy every single time. The kit costs less than one service call two winters from now.
Acrylic domes on 1970s and 1980s additions are usually past saving. They yellow, they craze, and the wood curb underneath them is often soft where the flashing has been leaking quietly for years. We price the curb rebuild as its own line item so you can see exactly what you are buying and why. Some of them are better closed off entirely, and we will say that too.
Our honest advice on new skylights: do not cut one into a roof with under about eight years left in it. Wait, do it as part of the replacement, and let one crew own the whole detail and the whole warranty. For a dark hallway or a windowless bathroom, a tubular sun tunnel is cheaper and leaks less. It is a smaller hole, and smaller holes leak less.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — six-inch seamless K-style trough in .032 aluminum stock, stone-coated steel tile laid over batten strips, synthetic composite shake specified in place of clay tile, 26-gauge exposed-fastener rib panel with EPDM-washer screws, self-adhered modified bitumen on residential porch decks, counterflashing wedged and sealed only at the reglet line — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Terre Haute and nearby communities including West Terre Haute, North Terre Haute, Seelyville, Riley.

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 six-inch seamless K-style trough in .032 aluminum stock, stone-coated steel tile laid over batten strips, synthetic composite shake specified in place of clay tile, 26-gauge exposed-fastener rib panel with EPDM-washer screws, 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 Terre Haute 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 Wabash Valley means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Terre Haute Chooses Terre Haute Premium Roofing
- ✓We name the code our scope is written to. In Indiana that is one statewide document, and the inspector who signs off on your roof is reading the same one we are.
- ✓Bids from across the state line get read differently here, because Illinois regulates residential structural design and leaves the water-management details to whatever each town chose to adopt.
- ✓Replacement sheathing carries a signed per-sheet rate before the tear-off starts, so bad decking reaches you as a figure you already accepted instead of a doorstep negotiation.
- ✓Intake and exhaust ventilation are measured in square inches and printed on the estimate, not described as adequate and left for you to hope about.
The standards behind skylights
Quality here is not a matter of opinion — it is written down. The skylights work we do in Terre Haute 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 Terre Haute 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.
