Kissimmee Premium Roofing provides professional skylights in Kissimmee, FL for residential and commercial properties across Osceola and south Orange County. We install skylights and we are glad to. We also spend a good part of this page talking owners of rented houses out of them. A skylight is a hole cut through the one surface keeping weather out.
The arithmetic is not complicated. The unit itself has a service life somewhere around twenty to thirty years, the seal and the flashing kit go first, and by the time water is dripping onto a guest bed it has usually been running down the inside of the light shaft for months, quietly ruining the drywall in the chase. By then the leak is a drywall job in the light shaft rather than a roofing job.
So when we find a tired skylight on a rental during a reroof, our first recommendation is usually to deck it in. Frame the opening, sheathe it, insulate it, close the ceiling below and reroof over the top as if it had never been there. It costs less than a good replacement unit and it removes the risk permanently. It is the rare recommendation that costs the customer less and the contractor a good deal more.
We do not say that when the daylight is doing real work. A dark interior stair, a windowless bathroom, a vaulted great room that photographs beautifully with light coming down into it: those are worth keeping, and in a listed property the photographs are part of the product. Keep it, but keep it properly. Daylight sells nights, and we are not going to pretend otherwise to win an argument.
Properly means curb-mounted, framed on a curb we build on site that stands four inches clear of the finished surface, then flashed with the manufacturer's step and head kit rather than a bed of mastic. Deck-mounted retrofits sitting flat in the plane of a shingle roof are the units we come back to. If you are replacing, replace to a curb. The curb is the entire difference between a skylight and a future leak in the ceiling.
A tubular daylight device is the underrated middle answer. It brings usable light into an interior room with a much smaller roof penetration, a sealed dome and far less to go wrong, and it costs a fraction of a skylight. Less dramatic, much less likely to be the reason a guest calls you at eleven at night. Boring and reliable, which is the point.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — architectural laminate shingle with a factory sealant strip, self-adhered polymer-modified underlayment over the full deck, closed-cut valleys lined with peel-and-stick membrane, eave drip edge laid before the underlayment goes down, lead-free thermoplastic pipe boots with a clamped collar, ridge vent cut to a balanced net free area — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Kissimmee and nearby communities including St. Cloud, Celebration, Buenaventura Lakes, Campbell.

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 architectural laminate shingle with a factory sealant strip, self-adhered polymer-modified underlayment over the full deck, closed-cut valleys lined with peel-and-stick membrane, eave drip edge laid before the underlayment goes down, 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 Kissimmee 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 Osceola and south Orange County means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Kissimmee Chooses Kissimmee Premium Roofing
- ✓We inspect seasonal and rented properties twice a year, once after the storm months and once before the busy stretch, and you get both reports whether or not anything needs doing.
- ✓Our certified state license lets us permit in Osceola, Orange and Polk on the same credential, so a house sitting on a county line never waits for a second contractor.
- ✓Every leak repair includes a moisture survey of the ceiling below, because in a house that sits empty the stain you can see is smaller than the wet area you cannot.
- ✓We will not coat a steep-slope shingle or tile roof. A coating hides the substrate, and readable condition is worth more than a warranty sticker on a property you visit twice a year.
The standards behind skylights
Quality here is not a matter of opinion — it is written down. The skylights work we do in Kissimmee 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 Kissimmee 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.
