Skylight Repairs Starting at $449
Brantford Skylight repairs, replacements and new installations are The Roof Whisperer’s Specialty. Even the most durable skylights need to be repaired once in awhile. Skylights are very prone to leaking due to brands, however here at The Roof Whisperer we believe most of Brantford skylight leaks occur due to workmanship. We strongly believe in installing great skylight products made by only one reputable company like Velux. Associating our name with a great brand and extensive education for our certified Brantford skylight installers separates us from many other Skylight Companies. Skylight replacements are strongly advised by our company when a new roof replacement project is undertaken from homeowners or property owners.
Roofs do not outlast skylights or vice versa. If you do not have a skylight in your home or property then you should consider getting one. No matter what what type of property it is, your property will benefit from installing a new skylight. However, installation of the skylights should be done professionally to ensure the quality, longevity, durability and a leak free product for many years to come.

Curb Mounted Skylights
Curb mounted skylights are the most common skylight type. This design requires a box structure for the unit to sit on. The skylight is designed to sit over the curb like a lid on a shoe box. One of the benefits of this design is the ability to replace older skylights without having to re-flash the skylight at the same time. This can greatly reduce the amount of labor required. Another benefit is the ease to manufacture custom sizes. The downside is the higher profile created by the curb and the decreased energy efficiency as most existing curbs are not insulated beyond the 1 ½” thickness of the curb itself.

Deck Mounted Skylights
Deck mounted skylights are a more recent design that lowers the profile of the unit and increases the energy efficiency by ‘hugging’ the roof. In this design, the curb is the skylight itself. Higher quality manufacturers, such as Velux, have perfected the art over the last several decades by producing integral flashing kits for various sizes and roofing types. The lower profile provides a better visual appeal, inside and out, and the increased energy efficiency provides a more comfortable living space and peace of mind. Deck mounted skylights are the choice for new construction or for installing new skylights to existing homes.

Custom Fixed Curb Mounted Skylights
Time to time we come across situations where fitting a skylight with standard measurements is a challenge. Velux has made it easier for us installers to keep the interior of the opening the same, but fit perfectly with perfect measurements on the outside. Custom size skylight takes a few weeks for delivery but are perfect solution when it comes to saving money but not making any interior changes.
