Aloha Roof Pros provides professional skylights in Aloha, OR for residential and commercial properties across the Tualatin Valley. This is where the framing overhead decides your purchase, and it is worth understanding before you go shopping. On a trussed roof you do not simply cut the opening wherever the light would be nicest.
The restriction is not ours to waive. Code prohibits cutting, notching or drilling a truss member without approval from a registered design professional, and it applies to chords and webs alike. So an opening has to fit within a bay, and on framing spaced two feet apart the clear width available comes to a little over twenty-two inches. The same restriction covers running a duct or a chimney through the framing.
That figure eliminates most of the showroom models. The wide units on display assume a rafter roof somebody can open up, and putting one in here means an engineered header detail, a stamped drawing and a county permit. It is possible. It is very rarely worth what the whole exercise ends up costing. An engineer will sometimes approve a header spanning two bays, and we price that route honestly alongside the alternatives.
What does work is a narrow fixed unit sized to sit inside a single bay, or a tubular daylight device, which threads a reflective shaft down between the web members and puts a startling quantity of daylight into a hallway or an interior bathroom for a genuinely modest price. Two smaller units in adjacent bays is the other route, and on a long room it often lights the space more evenly than one large opening would have.
We measure your actual bay before recommending anything at all, since two feet is the pattern rather than a guarantee. We have found nineteen-inch bays and twenty-four-inch bays on the same street, and once we are inside the house a tape measure settles the question in about a minute. Older houses on this stock sometimes surprise us with an odd bay where the original plan needed a chimney or a stair to pass through.
Replacing an existing unit that leaks is a different and usually simpler job, because the opening is already framed and the shaft already built. We move to a current flashing kit matched to your covering rather than reusing the old collar, and we rebuild shaft drywall where thirty years of drips have softened it. A kit designed for shingles will not seal against a standing seam panel no matter how much sealant goes on.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — metal connector plates read tooth by tooth from the attic floor, the clear opening of a little over twenty-two inches between chords, a stamped repair detail drawn by an engineer for an altered chord, tubular daylight devices threaded between web members, self-adhered membrane at valleys and every roof penetration, gable end frames that carry no triangulated webbing — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Aloha and nearby communities including Beaverton, Hillsboro, Cedar Hills, West Slope.

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 metal connector plates read tooth by tooth from the attic floor, the clear opening of a little over twenty-two inches between chords, a stamped repair detail drawn by an engineer for an altered chord, tubular daylight devices threaded between web members, 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 Aloha 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 Tualatin Valley means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Aloha Chooses Aloha Roof Pros
- ✓We read the truss framing from inside the attic before we price a single square, because on Aloha's housing the manufactured geometry overhead decides what is actually possible on the plane above it.
- ✓Our estimates are written per plane, so the trussed main roof and the addition or carport each get their own assembly rather than being averaged into one number that fits neither.
- ✓We refuse coating work over composition roofs and we say so in writing, because a film over granulated asphalt seals in moisture and puts the manufacturer's warranty out of reach permanently.
- ✓We will talk you out of a hail claim this climate does not support, since western Oregon sees severe hail rarely and a withdrawn claim sits on your loss history for years.
The standards behind skylights
Quality here is not a matter of opinion — it is written down. The skylights work we do in Aloha 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 Aloha 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.
