A property manager in Toronto reached out to The Roof Whisperer for help with a leaky skylight. During our inspection, we noticed several concerns not only with the problem skylight but also with other skylights and chimneys on the same roof. Although multiple repairs were recommended, the client ultimately chose to move forward with replacing the small skylight first.

Skylight Installation Done Right

The existing skylight was deck-mounted, which is unsuitable for flat roofs because it requires a higher roof pitch. Therefore, our crew removed the unit and reframed the opening to fit properly with the ceiling structure. Afterward, we installed a Velux FCM 3030 curb-mounted skylight, which provides excellent drainage and durability.

To improve energy efficiency, we filled all gaps with spray foam insulation. In addition, our team carefully installed and painted trim boards, giving the interior a seamless and professional finish.

Superior Waterproofing for Long-Lasting Protection

Waterproofing plays a critical role in skylight performance. For this project, we applied a two-ply SBS base and cap membrane around the curb. As a result, the skylight now has a durable, weather-resistant seal that can handle Toronto’s challenging climate.

The Final Result

✔ Leak-free skylight with a 10-year guarantee

✔ Professional curb-mount installation with trusted Velux products
