Tulsa Premium Roofing provides professional skylights in Tulsa, OK for residential and commercial properties across Green Country. Skylights on old Tulsa houses are governed by one word, and the word is visible. The city's guidelines exempt rooftop items that cannot be seen from abutting streets and require anything attached to a historic roof to be reversible and to leave the covering undamaged.
Read together, that is a fairly clear map. A skylight on a rear slope, out of view from the sidewalk, is a straightforward proposition inside an overlay district. The same unit on a street-facing plane of a contributing house is a visible alteration and it goes through review, where the answer is frequently no. We check the sight lines before we quote, standing on the street, not on the roof. Sight lines settle it.
Placement aside, this is old framing. A 1920s roof is rafters at close spacing with no engineered truss to work around, which is genuinely easier than a modern truss roof, but any opening still needs headers sized for what is being cut and a shaft framed and insulated on all four sides. An uninsulated shaft is a condensation machine that will convince you the skylight leaks. Insulate the shaft or do not cut the hole.
We fit curb-mounted units on low-slope and shallow sections and deck-mounted units where the pitch is steep enough to shed, always with the manufacturer's own step and head flashing kit. A skylight bedded in sealant instead of flashed is not installed, it is postponed. The head flashing wants self-adhered membrane run above it and lapped by the covering, not the reverse. Flashing is a sequence, not a product.
If the roof is being replaced anyway, that is the moment. Retrofitting a skylight into an intact roof means cutting into a system that was working, and the flashing lap is compromised from the start. Doing it during a tear-off costs a fraction and lasts longer. If the roof has eight years left, wait for it and put the money into flashing instead.
For a dark hallway or a windowless bathroom, we will often recommend a tubular daylight device instead. It is cheaper, it needs a much smaller opening, and its low-profile dome frequently falls below the visibility threshold that would otherwise put the job in front of a commission. It is also far less likely to leak, because there is much less roof to interrupt.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — architectural laminate shingles encouraged by the city design guidelines, cedar shingle coverings original to Tulsa oil-boom bungalows, tar-and-gravel built-up roofing over masonry commercial blocks, exposed rafter tails and eave brackets carried through a tear-off, counterflashing reglets cut into soft lime mortar joints, clay tile matched by profile, texture and directional orientation — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Tulsa and nearby communities including Sand Springs, Owasso, Sapulpa, Claremore.

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 shingles encouraged by the city design guidelines, cedar shingle coverings original to Tulsa oil-boom bungalows, tar-and-gravel built-up roofing over masonry commercial blocks, exposed rafter tails and eave brackets carried through a tear-off, 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 Tulsa 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 Green Country means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Tulsa Chooses Tulsa Premium Roofing
- ✓We look up your zoning before we quote, so nobody discovers a review requirement halfway through a tear-off with the deck already open to weather.
- ✓We identify the original covering from physical evidence in the eave, the attic and the flashing, not from a guess made standing in the driveway.
- ✓We price the honest option first. Putting the same covering back is often cheaper, faster and free of review, and we will say so before we sell an upgrade.
- ✓Our eave carpentry is done by people who can repair a rafter tail and a bracket rather than wrap the whole assembly in aluminum and call it maintenance.
The standards behind skylights
Quality here is not a matter of opinion — it is written down. The skylights work we do in Tulsa 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 Tulsa 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.
