Hobbs Roof Pros provides professional skylights in Hobbs, NM for residential and commercial properties across southeastern New Mexico. Hobbs gets a great deal of sun. That fact reverses the usual argument for a skylight: nobody here is short of daylight, and the risk of a large piece of glass in a roof is not darkness, it is the heat that comes with the light.
So we start by asking what the room actually needs. If the answer is light in an interior bath, hallway, or closet, a tubular daylighting device is almost always the better purchase. It costs a fraction of a glazed unit, routes between existing framing without structural work, delivers usable light, and brings a small fraction of the solar heat gain with it.
If the answer is a view or a design intent, then a proper unit is warranted and we will build it right. We favor a curb-mounted deck-flashed unit with laminated low-emissivity glazing and, on a west or south exposure, a factory blind or an exterior shade. Choosing the glazing package carelessly at this latitude turns a pleasant room into one nobody sits in from June to September.
Old plastic bubbles are their own category. A fair number of Hobbs houses from the 1960s and 1970s carry acrylic domes on site-built curbs, and after fifty years of this ultraviolet load the plastic has gone chalky, yellow, and brittle. They crack without warning. Replacing the dome and leaving the original curb and flashing is a repair with a short future. Where an owner wants it closed, we frame and deck the opening instead.
Every leak we have opened at a skylight has been the flashing, not the unit. The common failure here is a curb sealed with caulk instead of counterflashed with metal, because caulk at a forty-degree daily temperature swing has a life measured in seasons. We install the manufacturer's step and head flashing kit and cut a real counterflashing where the detail permits it.
We will also say plainly when to remove one rather than replace it. On a low-slope 1950s addition with an abandoned curb and a room that is already bright, closing the opening and framing it out is cheaper than any unit, permanently dry, and takes an afternoon. Not every hole in a roof needs to stay a hole, and a room that already runs hot in August rarely misses one.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — open metal valleys formed in 26-gauge Galvalume, high-temperature synthetic underlayment rated for hot decks, caliche fines cleared from scuppers and downspout boots, granule-surfaced SBS cap sheet set in cold adhesive, unvented roof assemblies built with above-deck polyiso, mechanically seamed Galvalume panels riding on expansion clips — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Hobbs and nearby communities including North Hobbs, Lovington, Eunice, Jal.

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 open metal valleys formed in 26-gauge Galvalume, high-temperature synthetic underlayment rated for hot decks, caliche fines cleared from scuppers and downspout boots, granule-surfaced SBS cap sheet set in cold adhesive, 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 Hobbs 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 southeastern New Mexico means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Hobbs Chooses Hobbs Roof Pros
- ✓We price the roof around the decade the house was built, because two thirds of Hobbs predates 1980 and the deck under it varies block by block.
- ✓Deck repair is a named unit price in the estimate rather than a change order discovered on the second morning of a tear-off.
- ✓We will talk you out of a coating, a claim, a skylight or a full gutter wrap when the honest answer is to spend nothing.
- ✓Material comes from Midland, Lubbock or El Paso, so we order before tear-off and plan the schedule around the real wait.
The standards behind skylights
Quality here is not a matter of opinion — it is written down. The skylights work we do in Hobbs 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 Hobbs 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.
