Hammond Premium Roofing provides professional skylights in Hammond, IN for residential and commercial properties across the Calumet Region. Skylights are a good idea on the right roof and a maintenance liability on the wrong one. In this city the deciding factor is the glazing material rather than the brand on the frame, and most people are never told that before they buy. Glazing decides most of it.
Acrylic domes do not survive here well. Airborne grit is mildly abrasive, and years of it plus ultraviolet exposure haze the surface until an expensive skylight delivers the light quality of a dirty bathroom window. The dome then gets scrubbed by a well-meaning homeowner with the wrong brush, which finishes the job. We fit tempered and laminated glass units instead, and they clean up like a window. Glass wins here and it is not close.
Everything else is flashing discipline. Site-built curbs at least six inches above the finished roof plane, the step and head flashing kit that ships with the unit, never a bed of sealant, ice barrier turned up the curb and lapped correctly, and a framed cricket on the upslope side of any unit wider than about thirty inches so water and grit go around rather than pile against it. The cricket is not an optional extra.
We replace rather than reflash any unit past roughly twenty years during a tear-off, and we say that before the work is priced. The seals in an older insulated glass unit are usually near the end of their life, and reusing one means opening a brand-new roof again in a couple of seasons to do properly what could have been done once. Doing it twice costs more than doing it once.
We turn down skylights on low-slope rear additions, and that is a regular conversation rather than a rare one. Those roofs already drain badly, deposit already berms around anything projecting above them, and a curb creates one more dam on a surface that could not shed water well to begin with. A solar tube on the adjacent pitched roof usually gets you the light without the problem. We would rather lose that sale than manage it.
Expect to wash them. A skylight in Hammond needs its glass cleaned once or twice a year to keep delivering the light it was bought for, and we say that before you buy rather than after you are disappointed. It is a small chore, but it is a real one, and it belongs in the decision alongside the price. Two washes a year keeps it honest.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — aluminum-substrate standing seam with a PVDF finish, copper-bearing shingle granules, low-pressure roof washing with a neutral detergent, coating adhesion patches pulled at seventy-two hours, tempered glass skylight units set on site-built curbs, 0.032 aluminum drip edge and valley pan — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Hammond and nearby communities including Munster, Highland, Griffith, Whiting.

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 aluminum-substrate standing seam with a PVDF finish, copper-bearing shingle granules, low-pressure roof washing with a neutral detergent, coating adhesion patches pulled at seventy-two hours, 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 Hammond 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 Calumet Region means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Hammond Chooses Hammond Premium Roofing
- ✓We wash a test area before we judge a roof, because reading granule loss or bruising through settled industrial deposit is guesswork and guesswork replaces roofs five years early.
- ✓We read the finish warranty's exclusion clause out loud before you buy a metal roof, since the premium coatings exclude locations exposed to fallout, ash and corrosive fumes.
- ✓Every exposed component we install is aluminum rather than steel, and we will show you the corroded steel we pulled off the last house instead of arguing the point.
- ✓Replacement decking is priced at a signed rate per sheet before anybody starts the tear-off, which matters on a stock where most houses predate modern sheathing panels.
The standards behind skylights
Quality here is not a matter of opinion — it is written down. The skylights work we do in Hammond 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.
