Oshkosh Premium Roofing provides professional skylights in Oshkosh, WI for residential and commercial properties across the Lake Winnebago basin. The first decision on a skylight in this city is not the unit. It is which plane it goes on, and we will argue for the sheltered one nearly every time even if the room reads slightly differently for it.
A skylight is a raised object sitting in the middle of a water path. Everything about how it stays dry depends on water arriving from above it and running around it. Put one on a plane that takes horizontal water off ten miles of open lake and you have introduced a dam facing the wrong way, with a head detail that now has to hold back water pushing up into it rather than falling past it.
Where daylight allows it, we put the unit on a north or a west plane. The room gets steadier, less glaring light out of it anyway, and the assembly stops fighting the local load. Where a room genuinely only faces the lake, we build for that: a taller site-built curb than the standard kit assumes, head flashing carried well up the slope, and a diverter above the head so water breaks around the unit.
We do not fit deck-mounted units on a lakeward plane. That profile sets the glass low with the flashing integrated tight to the deck, which is efficient and clean and gives driven water a very short path to the head. It is a good product on a sheltered slope and we will fit it there.
If an existing skylight is leaking, do not let anybody replace the unit before the flashing has been properly ruled out. Most skylight leaks on this shore are at the head and the upslope side rather than at the glass or the perimeter seal, and a brand new unit dropped into the same flashing arrangement will leak again inside two seasons at a considerably higher price.
If the room is dark and the only roof plane it has is the wrong one, say so and we will price you a pair of tubular units on a better plane instead. Less glass, far less risk, and a fraction of the money. That is not what a page about skylights is supposed to say, and it is still the advice we end up giving most often here.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — reduced shingle exposure on the lakeward planes, gutter apron tucked behind the trough and over the fascia, self-adhered ice barrier carried the full run of a lakeward slope, step flashing formed with a taller vertical leg than the shingle exposure, two-piece counterflashing bedded in a raked masonry joint, hemmed rake metal with a closed end at the eave return — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Oshkosh and nearby communities including Fond du Lac, North Fond du Lac, Taycheedah, Black Wolf.

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 reduced shingle exposure on the lakeward planes, gutter apron tucked behind the trough and over the fascia, self-adhered ice barrier carried the full run of a lakeward slope, step flashing formed with a taller vertical leg than the shingle exposure, 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 Oshkosh 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 Lake Winnebago basin means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Oshkosh Chooses Oshkosh Premium Roofing
- ✓We ask what direction the wind was blowing when you saw the stain, because on this shore that answer separates a driven-water path from an actual hole faster than an hour on the roof does
- ✓Hose testing is done up the slope and up the wall, never just straight down, since water that entered sideways will not reproduce under a test that respects gravity
- ✓We will quote two planes rather than four when the lakeward side is spent and the street side is not, and we will tell you plainly what a two-plane roof costs you in color match
- ✓Underlayment run and headlap are line items you can compare between bidders, not assumptions folded into a price per square
The standards behind skylights
Quality here is not a matter of opinion — it is written down. The skylights work we do in Oshkosh 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 Oshkosh 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.
