Revere Roof Pros provides professional skylights in Revere, MA for residential and commercial properties across Boston's inner North Shore. The most common skylight in this city is not in anybody's kitchen. It is the old glazed opening over a common stair hall in a two- or three-family, put there to light a windowless stairwell, and it is usually the oldest unrepaired thing on the entire building.
Those units matter more than a bedroom skylight because of where the water goes when they fail. A leak over a stairwell runs the full height of the building through the one space every household has to use, soaking plaster on three landings and eventually reaching the treads themselves. We treat a failing stair skylight as urgent work rather than as a cosmetic item to schedule for spring.
Replacing one is also a common-area alteration on a multi-unit building, which means the permit and classification questions from our replacement page apply here too. On a three-family this is base-code work and the person signing the permit needs the unrestricted license class. Contractors who treat a stairwell skylight as a same-day swap out of a van have generally not thought about that at all. The permit belongs to the building, not to the unit below it.
On the technical side our rule is simple: curb-mounted, always, on pitched and low-slope decks alike. A deck-mounted unit laid into a shingle field depends on a factory flashing kit installed exactly right, and it is unforgiving of the boarded, uneven decks that are normal on this stock. A site-built curb raised well above the finished surface, with proper base and counter flashing, is what actually lasts.
Glazing choice follows the location rather than the catalog. Anything over a stair or a landing gets laminated glass, so a failure does not shower a walkway with fragments. Anything on a low-slope deck gets a unit rated for that slope, since the majority of residential skylights on the shelf are not. Fragments falling down a stairwell is not a hypothetical risk on this stock.
If your existing skylight is sound and simply dirty or fogged, we will clean and reseal it and leave everything else alone. A fogged sealed unit that is still watertight is an appearance problem, and a stairwell is not a room where anybody is enjoying the view. We would rather sell you a cleaning than a replacement.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — an unrestricted CSL number entered on a three-unit permit application, a granulated SBS cap sheet bedded in cold adhesive, tapered EPS crickets built behind a rear chimney stack, a shingle-to-membrane transition worked into the mansard eave line, a party-wall parapet capped in 20-ounce lead-coated copper, two-piece surface counterflashing screwed to a brick firewall — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Revere and nearby communities including Chelsea, Winthrop, Everett, Malden.

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 unrestricted CSL number entered on a three-unit permit application, a granulated SBS cap sheet bedded in cold adhesive, tapered EPS crickets built behind a rear chimney stack, a shingle-to-membrane transition worked into the mansard eave line, 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 Revere 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 Boston's inner North Shore means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Revere Chooses Revere Roof Pros
- ✓We establish the dwelling unit count before quoting, because it decides the code path, the license class and the paperwork, and most bids in this city never mention it at all.
- ✓Our estimates carry the Construction Supervisor License number and its restriction class, so you can check that the person signing your permit is actually allowed to sign it.
- ✓We write scopes with quantities and fastener patterns so you can take our document to two other roofers and receive numbers that describe the same roof.
- ✓Inspection fees are billed and stay billed, never netted off a later job, because that is the only way to be certain the report you receive is an opinion and not a pitch.
The standards behind skylights
Quality here is not a matter of opinion — it is written down. The skylights work we do in Revere 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 Revere 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.
