At The Roof Whisperer, we specialize in professional skylight repairs, replacements, and new installations across Toronto and the GTA. Even the most durable skylights require occasional maintenance, and leaks are a common issue. While some skylight brands may be prone to leaking, we believe that most Toronto skylight leaks are caused by poor workmanship rather than product failure.
When undertaking a roof replacement project, we strongly recommend replacing skylights at the same time. Roofs and skylights do not outlast each other, and installing a new roof while keeping an aging skylight can lead to future leaks, inefficiency, and costly repairs. Our skylight replacement services ensure that both your roof and skylight function seamlessly together for years to come.

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 of manufacturing 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 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 in existing homes.

Time to time we come across situations where fitting a skylight with standard measurements is a challenge.

During your consultation, the installer will evaluate the intended skylight location. They will provide guidance on appropriate skylight dimensions, and quantity recommendations for the space, and determine the most suitable installation method (such as deck-mounted or curb-mounted systems). Additionally, they can guide you through various blind options to enhance your skylight’s appearance.
Skylight installation involves two main stages: exterior roof work and interior finishing. Installation duration varies from half a day to three days, depending on factors like roof angle, light shaft configuration, and weather conditions. The roof phase includes creating the opening and securing the skylight with VELUX’s triple-layer water protection system.
The interior installation typically requires about half a day per skylight, involving drywall work and painting (unless utilizing an Instant Light Shaft). Installers take precautions to shield your home’s interior from construction debris. They typically install plastic barriers around the ceiling opening to contain dust during installation.
Flat ceiling installations require more extensive drywall work compared to vaulted ceilings. For flat ceilings, your installer will construct a drywall shaft connecting the skylight to channel natural light into the space. The installer will ensure the light shaft’s paint matches your existing ceiling color.

Skylight leaks are not only the most common problem that homeowners face, but they can also cause significant damage if left untreated. These leaks occur when water finds its way through cracks or gaps in the skylight, leading to dampness and potential mold growth. To prevent skylight leaks, it’s essential to ensure proper installation and regular maintenance. Regularly inspecting the skylight for any signs of wear or damage can help identify potential issues before they become major problems. Additionally, applying a waterproof sealant around the edges of the skylight can provide an extra layer of protection against leaks. By taking these preventive measures, homeowners can enjoy the benefits of natural light without worrying about skylight leaks.
On average, the lifespan of a poorly designed skylight ranges from 2-10 years. Nevertheless, thanks to technological advancements, VELUX skylights have the potential to endure for up to 30 years!
