Parma Premium Roofing provides professional skylights in Parma, OH for residential and commercial properties across Cleveland's southwest suburbs. A great many skylights here sit in a finished attic slope with a long boxed shaft running down through the insulation to the ceiling below. That shaft, not the glass unit, is where the trouble in this climate lives, and nobody inspects it.
Think about what that shaft actually is. It is a chimney of drywall passing straight through cold, ventilated attic space, usually insulated on the outside with whatever fitted at the time and very rarely air-sealed at either end. Warm room air rises up into it, meets a cold surface near the top, and condenses there. People see water on the frame in January and quite reasonably conclude that the skylight is leaking.
So that is what we go looking for first, before anybody quotes you a replacement unit. If the water appears only in cold weather, only on the interior trim, and never during a summer downpour, it is condensation. The fix is sealing and insulating the shaft rather than buying a new unit. A replacement that leaves a leaky shaft in place produces the same wet frame next winter.
When the unit genuinely is at fault, how it is mounted matters more than the label. On the shallow sections common to rear additions here, curb-mounted is right: the unit sits on a built-up curb well above the water's plane, and the flashing becomes an assembly rather than a reliance on sealant. Deck-mounted units sit closer in and look tidier, and belong on a steeper main slope.
Anything we install is flashed with the kit the manufacturer built for that exact model at your exact pitch, and with nothing improvised alongside it. Site-formed flashing and a tube of sealant will pass a hose test in September and fail in February. The kit exists because the geometry has already been worked out and tested, and it costs a small fraction of what the callback costs everybody.
One thing we decline to do is put a fresh skylight into your roof merely because we are already up there doing a reroof. It is a genuine penetration cut into an assembly that previously had none, and it ought to be a decision you reached about daylight in a particular room, not an upsell taken while the deck happened to be open.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — self-adhering polymer-modified bitumen carried inside the exterior wall line, six fasteners per shingle driven flush inside the printed nailing zone, step flashing woven course by course against a sidewall, counterflashing folded into a reglet ground out of a mortar joint, kickout flashing at the foot of a roof-to-wall run, attic bypass sealing at top plates, flue chases and fixture penetrations — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Parma and nearby communities including Parma Heights, Seven Hills, Brooklyn, Broadview Heights.

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 self-adhering polymer-modified bitumen carried inside the exterior wall line, six fasteners per shingle driven flush inside the printed nailing zone, step flashing woven course by course against a sidewall, counterflashing folded into a reglet ground out of a mortar joint, 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 Parma 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 Cleveland's southwest suburbs means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Parma Chooses Parma Premium Roofing
- ✓We specify the ice barrier from the Residential Code of Ohio and the shape of your roof, not from a regional sales template written for Geauga County snowfall.
- ✓Every quote starts in the attic. If warm air is reaching your deck, no membrane we could sell you would fix the problem you actually called us about.
- ✓Deck repair is billed as boards actually replaced, counted in front of you, rather than as a padded allowance that quietly disappears if we do not need it.
- ✓We hand-seal any shingle installed onto a cold deck the same day, because an unsealed tab in November is a creased tab after the first February gust.
The standards behind skylights
Quality here is not a matter of opinion — it is written down. The skylights work we do in Parma 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 Parma 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.
