A client contacted The Roof Whisperer after experiencing a skylight leak, along with chimney issues (covered in another project on our Projects Page). Since the skylight was over 25 years old and originally manufactured by Velux, matching the size for replacement was both simple and convenient.

Skylight Upgrade to Velux New Energy i89

The homeowner decided to upgrade to the latest Velux Energy i89 glass glazing, designed to improve insulation and increase energy efficiency. This advanced glazing helps reduce heat loss during the winter and prevents excessive heat gain in the summer. As a result, it provides year-round comfort and long-term savings.

Professional Skylight Replacement Process

Our skylight specialist, Klevis, managed the project with precision. First, he removed the old skylight. Next, he prepared the roof opening and installed the new Velux skylight. To ensure durability, he applied an ice and water shield around the curb and fitted a Velux flashing kit for complete waterproofing. Finally, shingles were installed to closely match the existing roof, blending the repair seamlessly.

End Result

The new Velux skylight now delivers more natural light, better energy performance, and long-lasting leak protection. Thanks to proper materials and expert installation, the homeowner can enjoy peace of mind for many years. The photos clearly highlight the quality and craftsmanship of our roofing and skylight services in Toronto and the GTA.
