A homeowner contacted us after discovering leaks in one of their skylights. Even though the house and roof were only four years old, the skylights were already failing. After a thorough assessment of both units and the rest of the roof, we recommended replacing them with high-quality Velux skylights for a durable solution.

Reframing and Creating Proper Slope

Unlike many standard units, Velux skylights for flat roof applications feature flat glass. To keep the glass clean and free of debris, we reframed the opening with rough lumber and added slope to the frame. This adjustment allows rainwater to wash the surface naturally, preventing buildup and improving performance.

Waterproofing and Membrane Work

In addition, our team carefully prepared the flat roof membrane. We degranulated the surface to create a strong bonding area and then applied new membrane flashing. This process ensures long-lasting adhesion between the new and existing materials, which is essential for preventing leaks.

Attention to Detail

We also offered interior finishing services to complete the skylight installation. While the fine details may not be visible from the ground, we believe they make all the difference. Care, pride, and attention to quality separate us from other roofing companies in Toronto.

End Result

✔ Two new Velux skylights professionally installed
