If you’re looking for a skylight replacement in Toronto, The Roof Whisperer has the expertise you can count on. In this project, the skylight was only six months old and installed at the same time as a new roof. However, poor sizing and incorrect installation quickly created serious problems. Our skylight specialists stepped in to provide the right solution.
Why the Skylight Needed Replacement
The oversized skylight created a wide gap between the roof deck and drywall. As a result, the homeowner experienced strong drafts and higher energy bills. In addition, the transition between shingles and the flat roof membrane was not sealed properly, which left the skylight at risk of leaks.
Our Skylight Replacement Process
To fix the problem, we reframed the opening to fit a standard-size unit. This adjustment ensured the skylight aligned with the roof structure and eliminated interior drafts. Next, we applied a two-ply SBS membrane to strengthen the bottom flashing and re-flashed the sloped section with care. Finally, we installed a Velux FCM 3046 skylight, chosen for its proven performance and energy-saving benefits.
Why Choose Velux Skylights
Velux skylights are known for their quality, durability, and advanced flashing systems. Moreover, they offer energy-efficient glazing that helps regulate indoor temperature. By replacing the old unit with a Velux skylight, the homeowner gained peace of mind, better insulation, and a watertight solution built for Toronto’s climate.
End Result: Comfort and Efficiency
With the new skylight securely installed and all flashing sealed, the home is now draft-free, energy-efficient, and fully protected from leaks. This project proves why it’s always smart to hire certified experts for skylight replacement in Toronto.
