Skylights
Installation and replacement of skylights from leading recognized brands.
A skylight transforms a dark room into a bright, welcoming space. We install products from leading recognized brands, ensuring perfect waterproofing and impeccable integration with your existing roof.
Problems we solve
- Existing skylight leaking or letting in cold air in winter.
- Desire to add natural light to a dark room (kitchen, bathroom, hallway).
- Tubular skylight more appropriate than a traditional roof window.
- Skylight above a staircase or cathedral-ceiling room.
- Visible condensation on the glazing — sign of an end-of-life skylight.
- Replacement coordinated with a full re-roof.
More natural light, less electricity
A well-placed skylight can completely transform a room. It brings a surprising amount of natural light into places where you couldn't possibly add a vertical window: central bathrooms, hallways, ground-floor kitchens, upstairs rooms without exterior walls.
Beyond the look, a skylight can significantly reduce artificial lighting use during the day, which translates to real savings on the electricity bill. For venting models (which can open), bringing in fresh air and letting out summer heat is an added bonus.
Products proven in our climate
We work with leading North American skylight brands. The range available includes: fixed models, manual venting, electric venting with remote control, solar-powered models that open and close without electrical wiring, along with high-performance insulating glass options and integrated blinds.
The build quality of reputable brands is noticeably better than the bargain products you find at big-box stores. Frames are better sealed, insulating glass performs better, and the weatherproofing systems are designed specifically for each roof type (asphalt, metal, flat membrane) — backed by strong manufacturer warranties that we honour alongside them on our installations.
Waterproofing: where it all comes down to
A skylight is, by definition, a hole in your roof. Its watertightness depends entirely on the quality of the flashing system installed around it. Leaky skylights are almost always the result of a bad manufacturer flashing kit install — or worse, a caulking job.
Our crew is trained and experienced with manufacturer flashing-kit installation. Every piece goes in in the right order, with the right overlaps, the right fasteners, and clean integration with the surrounding shingles or metal. The result is an installation that stays watertight for its entire useful life.
We also handle existing skylights that are leaking: diagnosis, repair or replacement depending on what makes the most sense technically and financially.

Not when installed correctly. Modern models come with patented manufacturer flashing kits that eliminate that risk.
