Hamilton Premium Roofing provides professional skylights in Hamilton, OH for residential and commercial properties across Butler County and the lower Great Miami valley. A skylight is a hole placed deliberately in the one surface whose whole job is to have no holes in it. Detailed properly it lasts as long as everything around it. Done as an afterthought it is the thing you call about every spring, and placement is usually why.
Placement is the part we argue about. A skylight low on a long plane sits underneath everything that plane collects, and on a 700-square-foot slope in a hard cell that is a considerable volume arriving at a curb from above. High on the plane, or with a properly built cricket diverting flow around the head, and the same unit is unremarkable. Low, with no cricket, and it is a future leak.
We fit curb-mounted units on low-slope and on anything wide, and deck-mounted units with the manufacturer's own step-flashing kit on steeper planes. The curb stands a minimum of four inches proud of the finished roof, wrapped in self-adhering membrane before any metal, with a saddle behind it whenever the unit is wide enough to dam water. Head flashing laps over, sill flashing laps out.
Not every drip from a skylight is a leak. Glass is the coldest surface in a room and a bathroom or kitchen skylight will run with condensation in January regardless of how well it is flashed. We check the interior shaft, its insulation and its vapor detailing before we touch the roof, because replacing a perfectly sound unit does not fix a humidity problem.
If the units on the house are past twenty years and a replacement roof is going on, change them out in the same visit. The labor is already on site, the flashing kit integrates with the new courses, and the seal and the gaskets on a unit that age are living on borrowed time. Leaving them in and reflashing around them is the false economy we see most often.
Where a room simply needs daylight and there is no good place for a unit on that plane, we will suggest a tubular skylight instead. Smaller penetration, a one-piece flashing, far less to go wrong over time, and on a north-facing bathroom or a dark stair hall it does the job the owner actually wanted at a fraction of the cost and the risk.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — six-inch K-style gutter hung on hidden brackets every sixteen inches, three-by-four rectangular conductor with a twelve-square-inch throat, open W-profile valley metal in 26-gauge galvanized steel, gutter apron lapped under the starter course and over the trough back, overflow scuppers set two inches above the primary drain inlets, tapered polyiso saddles built between low-slope drains — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Hamilton and nearby communities including Fairfield, Middletown, Oxford, Trenton.

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 K-style gutter hung on hidden brackets every sixteen inches, three-by-four rectangular conductor with a twelve-square-inch throat, open W-profile valley metal in 26-gauge galvanized steel, gutter apron lapped under the starter course and over the trough back, 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 Hamilton 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 Butler County and the lower Great Miami valley means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Hamilton Chooses Hamilton Premium Roofing
- ✓We size gutters and conductors from the hundred-year hourly rainfall figure for this county, not from whatever was hanging on the house before
- ✓We argue against micro-mesh and helmet gutter guards here, because the failure mode in this valley is inlet capacity and a screen can only subtract from it
- ✓Every estimate names where the water is released, not just what catches it, since a leader dumped at the footing has moved the problem four feet and no further
- ✓We favor details that keep working with nobody maintaining them, so open metal valleys and gutter aprons go in ahead of anything that needs an annual visit
The standards behind skylights
Quality here is not a matter of opinion — it is written down. The skylights work we do in Hamilton 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 Hamilton 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.
