Biloxi Roof Pros provides professional skylights in Biloxi, MS for residential and commercial properties across the Biloxi Bay area. We install skylights and talk more people out of them than into them, especially on the exposed side of the peninsula. A skylight puts a hole in the one assembly that has to resist both uplift and horizontal water, and every unit is a permanent maintenance obligation.
The exposure argument is direct. On a plane facing open water, the roof already carries its highest loads at the perimeter and around any interruption in the surface. A curb sticking up into that flow creates a pressure shadow and a place for water to be driven upward, against gravity, into a joint that was designed assuming rain falls down. That is why so many coastal skylights leak in wind and stay perfectly dry in a thunderstorm.
Where we do say yes, we do it properly. Curb mounted units only on low slope and shallow pitches, with the curb built tall rather than minimal, a manufacturer flashing kit instead of a bucket of sealant, peel and stick carried up the curb sides and shingled into the field in the right order, and a diverter set above the head flashing. Deck mounted units are fine on steeper sheltered planes and we install those too.
Solar tubes are the answer we give most often. A ten or fourteen inch tube brings a surprising amount of daylight into a hallway, kitchen or bathroom, costs a fraction of a framed skylight, and presents a small, low, round penetration that is far easier to make weathertight on an exposed roof. On the north side of the peninsula we install more tubes than skylights by a wide margin.
Existing skylights get replaced during a reroof, not reused. A twenty year old unit will lose its seals well inside the life of a new roof, and reaching it afterward means cutting into work you just paid for. If a unit is genuinely recent we will reflash it and say so, but the default is replacement while the roof is open.
If you have an old site built skylight, framed on site and glazed with acrylic, the honest advice is usually to close it up during the reroof and put a tube nearby. We will quote both, explain what each one costs to maintain over twenty years, and let you make the call with the numbers in front of you.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — an exposure category taken per wind direction rather than per address, the six hundred foot inland reach of open water surface roughness, the wind classification printed on the shingle bundle wrapper, the manufacturer's high wind nailing pattern in place of the standard four, a sealed roof deck taped at every sheathing joint, rated perimeter edge metal and coping anchored to a tested standard — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Biloxi and nearby communities including Pascagoula, Gautier, Ocean Springs, D'Iberville.

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 an exposure category taken per wind direction rather than per address, the six hundred foot inland reach of open water surface roughness, the wind classification printed on the shingle bundle wrapper, the manufacturer's high wind nailing pattern in place of the standard four, 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 Biloxi 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 Biloxi Bay area means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Biloxi Chooses Biloxi Roof Pros
- ✓We state the exposure category and the wind classification on the proposal in plain words, so the next roofer who reads it can disagree in writing
- ✓Sheltered addresses get quoted as sheltered addresses. We talk homeowners north of the Tchoutacabouffa River out of coastal hardware they do not need
- ✓Every plane is graded on its own and the sector it faces is recorded, because a north slope over Back Bay fails differently from a south slope
- ✓Bad decking is priced per sheet in the proposal before tear off begins, so nothing gets renegotiated in your driveway with the roof open
The standards behind skylights
Quality here is not a matter of opinion — it is written down. The skylights work we do in Biloxi 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 Biloxi 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.
