Naperville Premium Roofing provides professional skylights in Naperville, IL for residential and commercial properties across the DuPage and Will county suburbs. Skylights are where a routine roof job quietly turns into structural work, and in Naperville that distinction carries a legal edge, because altering the roof framing takes a permit here while re-covering the roof around that framing does not.
Replacing a unit inside its existing curb and opening is the simple case. No framing changes, no permit, and if it happens during a re-roof the flashing kit can be integrated into the new courses properly instead of being cut in afterwards around finished work. This is the version we recommend to nearly everyone who asks, and it costs a small fraction of the alternative described below.
Enlarging an opening, adding a new one, or converting a fixed unit to a larger vented model means cutting rafters or trusses and installing headers. That is structural, and the city's guidance is that most structural work requires a design prepared by an Illinois-licensed design professional. Cutting a truss web on a 1980s subdivision house without an engineer's detail is not a shortcut, it is damage that shows up years later.
Age is a fair prompt to act. Sealed insulating glass units from the 1990s fail at the spacer, and once that seal has gone the fogging never clears no matter what anyone sprays on it. If your unit is at that age and the roof is due anyway, replacing both together costs materially less than doing the skylight alone in three years and disturbing a new roof to reach it.
Installation quality is nearly all flashing geometry. A step-flashed kit matched to both the unit and the covering, head flashing lapped correctly under the upper course, an ice barrier collar wrapped around the curb, and a cricket behind any wide unit so water divides rather than piling up against the frame. Sealant supplements that geometry and never substitutes for it.
Interior shafts are the part everybody forgets. A long shaft running through a vented attic has to be insulated and air sealed along its entire length or it will condense in winter, and the homeowner then reports a leaking skylight that is not leaking at all. So we look at the shaft and its insulation before we blame the flashing, and the report says plainly which of the two was actually at fault.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — ASTM D3462 fiberglass-mat laminated shingles, ASTM D7158 wind classification stated per slope, half-inch CDX sheathing swapped at an agreed per-sheet price, self-adhered ice barrier carried past the inside face of the exterior wall, ring-shank fasteners driven in the manufacturer's nailing zone, 24-gauge snap-lock standing seam over high-temperature underlayment — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Naperville and nearby communities including Lisle, Woodridge, Warrenville, Wheaton.

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 ASTM D3462 fiberglass-mat laminated shingles, ASTM D7158 wind classification stated per slope, half-inch CDX sheathing swapped at an agreed per-sheet price, self-adhered ice barrier carried past the inside face of the exterior wall, 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 Naperville 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 DuPage and Will county suburbs means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Naperville Chooses Naperville Premium Roofing
- ✓We state in writing whether your job triggers a Naperville permit, because an asphalt re-cover over sound sheathing does not, and that means no inspector will ever see it.
- ✓A per-sheet price for half-inch CDX sheathing is agreed and signed before tear-off morning, so "we found rot" is a number you already approved rather than a negotiation on a ladder.
- ✓Our Illinois roofing license number is on the bid, the contract and the truck, and you can check it against the state register before you call anyone.
- ✓Arbitration and jury-waiver clauses are pointed out and signed separately, the way Illinois law requires, or they do not bind you at all.

If a contractor cannot tell you which standard a detail comes from, that is worth asking about before you sign.
