Skylight Replacement Mississauga, ON – Owls Foot Drive

Initial Consultation and Inspection

Homeowners at 3110 Owls Foot Dr contacted The Roof Whisperer to replace three aging skylights. Each skylight measured 60 by 120 cm and sat on two roof slopes — one steep (12/12) and two moderate (4/12). Because the home featured black asphalt shingles, our team planned the project carefully to ensure a seamless look and watertight fit. During the inspection, we found cracked seals, foggy glass, and minor roof deck damage around the skylights. After explaining all available options, the homeowners decided on a full skylight replacement to prevent leaks and improve energy efficiency.

The Recommended Solution

We recommended Velux Fixed Curb-Mounted Skylights (Model FCM 4646) for their long lifespan, energy efficiency, and leak-resistant design. Rather than using the same approach for all areas, we adjusted our installation method to suit the roof’s slope. On the 12/12 section, the focus was precision alignment and secure fastening. Meanwhile, the 4/12 sloperequired enhanced waterproofing to prevent pooling during heavy rain. This customized approach ensured that every skylight was properly sealed and built to last.

Project Details

Our crew followed a step-by-step process to complete the installation efficiently:

  • Removed the existing skylights and disposed of all debris

  • Reinforced sections of the roof deck that showed wear

  • Built new custom curbs for each skylight

  • Applied a two-layer ice and water shield membrane for long-term protection

  • Installed Velux step and apron flashing kits to blend with the black shingles

  • Finished the interior trim with smooth boards and a fresh coat of paint

Each stage was handled with precision, ensuring a clean look and a watertight finish.

Long-Term Results

Once the installation was complete, the difference was immediate. Natural light filled the rooms more evenly, while indoor comfort improved due to better insulation. The new Velux skylights not only enhanced the home’s appearance but also provided peace of mind knowing the roof is fully protected from leaks. As a result, the homeowners gained brighter spaces, higher energy efficiency, and a roof system ready to withstand Ontario’s changing weather.
