A Toronto homeowner noticed leaks forming at the bottom corners of their skylight. After reviewing different options, they chose a Velux solar-powered venting skylight for its durability and energy savings.

Step 1: Closing Gaps and Stopping Drafts

Albert, our skylight specialist, applied spray foam insulation around the drywall, plywood, and framing. During the process, he found a wide gap that was letting in cold air and causing condensation. Sealing it restored proper insulation and stopped heat loss.

Step 2: Installing the New Skylight

Next, the new skylight was placed above the stairwell, where it now provides fresh airflow and natural light. By venting hot air during summer, the skylight helps reduce the need for air conditioning while keeping the home more comfortable.

Step 3: Protecting the Roof

Our team also waterproofed the chimney top and performed a full roof tune-up. These steps prevent future leaks and add extra years of life to the roof.

End Result

✔ Leak-free skylight with solar-powered venting

✔ Better airflow and lower cooling costs

✔ Stronger protection against leaks and drafts
