The damage caused by a skylight leak can be overwhelming, often leading to costly interior repairs. Many roofing companies in Toronto are not adequately trained to handle skylights. They frequently neglect them during roof replacements, fearing liability if leaks occur. When problems arise, their typical response is: “We didn’t replace the skylight; the skylight is leaking.” This lack of accountability leaves homeowners frustrated. A reputable company like The Roof Whisperer, however, always recommends replacing skylights at the same time as the roof to ensure long-term protection.

Scope of Work – Skylight Replacement in Toronto

To solve this customer’s issue, our team completed a full Velux skylight replacement with proper waterproofing and finishing:

• Removed shingles around the skylight (1–3 ft. perimeter).

• Removed old skylight and flashing.

• Replaced rotten wood (additional cost $300).

• Installed a new skylight curb with fresh wood trim.

• Primed and painted new trim for durability.

• Applied ice and water shield plus synthetic underlayment.

• Installed new shingles for a seamless match.

• Installed new Velux skylight flashing (Velux FCM 4646 kit).

• Installed Velux fixed curb mounted skylight (model 3046).

• Added a new roof vent beside skylight.

• Cleaned up and removed all project debris.

End Result – A Leak-Free Skylight

The project ended with a happy customer and a brand-new skylight that is guaranteed not to leak until the shingles themselves fail. By using certified products like Velux Skylights and following best practices, we ensured a durable and efficient solution that adds both natural light and value to the home.
