A homeowner contacted The Roof Whisperer after removing a large, unused chimney at the rear of their home. The opening left in the metal roof provided an opportunity for a skylight installation on a metal roof, bringing natural light into the space. After an initial assessment and clear quotation, the client agreed to move forward with our specialized skylight services.

Professional Skylight Installation on a Metal Roof

Our skylight expert Emanuel led the project. First, he carefully removed the surrounding metal panels around the chimney opening. Next, he reframed the skylight opening to fit a Velux skylight with dimensions of 30×72 inches. To ensure proper sealing and durability, Emanuel installed custom-bent flashing that matched the existing metal roof color. By the end of the day, the new skylight was securely installed, fully waterproofed, and ready to enjoy.

Why Metal Roof Skylight Installations Are Different

Unlike shingles, metal roofing requires specialized techniques and precision flashing systems. Many roofing contractors cut corners by using makeshift flashing, which increases the risk of leaks. At Velux Canada and through our certified practices, we follow strict guidelines to guarantee performance and warranty protection. Homeowners should always ensure the correct products are used for their skylight projects.
