Jonesboro Premium Roofing provides professional skylights in Jonesboro, AR for residential and commercial properties across northeast Arkansas. Most leaking skylights are not leaking. They are condensing. In an Arkansas winter a cold glass unit in a humid house makes water on its inside face, that water runs down the shaft, and it stains the drywall at the bottom in exactly the place a real leak would.
The tell is timing. Water on a clear cold morning is condensation. Water only during rain is a leak. So we check the light seal, the insulation in the shaft, and where the bathroom exhaust fan actually terminates before touching any flashing at all, because a fan dumping warm wet air straight into the attic causes this far more often than bad metal ever does.
Where there genuinely is a leak, the cause is almost always the flashing kit, or nobody having fitted one. Sealant smeared around a skylight is a two-year fix pretending to be a repair. The correct detail uses the maker's own step and head flashing woven into the shingle courses, and self-adhered membrane run up the curb face first, before a single piece of metal goes anywhere near it.
Our standing advice is to replace the unit with the roof. A twenty-year-old skylight carefully reflashed into a brand new roof becomes the one component on that roof guaranteed to fail well before everything around it, and getting at it later means opening up shingles you just paid for. Do it once, while the plane is already open. It costs a fraction of what going back in later is going to cost you.
Curb-mounted beats deck-mounted on a low-pitch plane, because the extra height keeps the glass up out of the water path and clear of anything the roof is carrying downhill toward it. On a steeper plane either type works perfectly well, and the deck-mounted unit sits flatter against the roof, which a lot of people simply prefer to look at from the yard.
If light is what you are really after and not a view, a solar tube runs about a third of the price, leaks far less because the penetration is small and round rather than large and rectangular, and puts a genuinely startling amount of daylight into a dark hallway or an interior bathroom. We install more of those than skylights now, and we are fine with that. Cheaper, drier and brighter is a good trade in anybody's book.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — six-inch seamless K-style aluminum trough on hidden hangers, three-by-four-inch downspout with an oversized outlet, solid-wall conveyance pipe past the slope break, stone splash apron at the discharge point, kickout flashing at the roof-to-wall corner, synthetic underlayment fastened with capped nails — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Jonesboro and nearby communities including Paragould, Brookland, Bono, Bay.

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 aluminum trough on hidden hangers, three-by-four-inch downspout with an oversized outlet, solid-wall conveyance pipe past the slope break, stone splash apron at the discharge point, 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 Jonesboro 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 northeast Arkansas means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Jonesboro Chooses Jonesboro Premium Roofing
- ✓Every proposal states where each downspout ends and what it lands on, because Jonesboro sits on a loess ridge and the soil at that point is the part of the system most likely to fail first.
- ✓We refuse to put drywells, pop-up emitters or buried infiltration on ridge lots. Loess sits over a fragipan around two feet down, so water put into the ground near the house cannot descend and travels sideways at footing depth instead.
- ✓Roof inspections here end at grade. We photograph headcuts, undermined splash blocks and exposed footings, and we tell you when a reported roof leak is actually ground water rather than selling you a roof.
- ✓Metal roofs only leave here with a full gutter package on a sloped lot, because a smooth panel delivers the same rainfall in a shorter, harder pulse and an unguttered drip line cuts a trench in erodible silt.
The standards behind skylights
Quality here is not a matter of opinion — it is written down. The skylights work we do in Jonesboro 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.
