Skylight Leak Repairs from The Roof Whisperer of Toronto
Skylight Repairs Starting at $699
Expert Skylight Repairs, Replacements, and Installations in Toronto
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.
Skylight Replacement – A Smart Investment During Roof Replacement
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.

If your property doesn’t have a skylight, you should consider adding one for increased natural light, better ventilation, and enhanced property value. No matter the type of property—residential or commercial—installing a skylight can transform your space. However, skylight installation must be done professionally to ensure durability, energy efficiency, and a leak-free product for many years. At The Roof Whisperer, we guarantee precision installation with high-quality materials and expert craftsmanship.

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 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
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.

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.

New Skylight Installation
When installing a skylight in your home, you can either handle the project yourself or engage a professional installer in your area. Since skylight installation is a complex process, The Roof Whisperer suggests consulting with our installer unless you have significant expertise. This approach will minimize complications. Discover the advantages of working with a VELUX-certified installation professional.
What should you expect during a consultation?
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.
What should you expect during installation?
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.
What if I have a flat ceiling?
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.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. What are common problem or issues with skylights?
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.
Q2. How many years do skylights last?
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! However, several contributing factors influence the lifespan of your skylight such as installation technician skills, weather etc.
Q3. Will venting skylights let in bugs?
Absolutely not! VELUX’s venting skylights are equipped with an insect screen, ensuring that pests are kept at bay when the skylights are open. Rest assured, only daylight and fresh air will be entering through your venting skylight.
Q4. How far can skylights be framed next to each other?
The minimum required gap between two skylights vertically should be at least 2.5 inches, and horizontally at least 4.5 inches. Velux offers a range of Combination flashing options for skylights. However, it is essential to engage skilled skylight specialists before commencing any framing work to obtain accurate information about skylight flashing
Q5. Why do skylights leak?
What we have found out during all these years working with skylights, 99.99% of the time skylights do leak due to poor installation workmanship and lack of installer experience.
Q6. Do you provide free estimates?
We do perform full assessments free of charge for any leaky skylight. For any new skylight or sun tunnel installations we apply a fee of $149.00+HST for the assessment. The fee will be reimbursed if you wish to hire our company for the project.
Q7. What brand or manufacturer do you suggest or install?
We only install skylights made from VELUX! We believe Velux skylights are the best products out there.
Q8. Do you warranty your workmanship?
Yes, we do, 90 days on all temporary repairs, 5 years on replacements and installations on existing roofs and 10 years with any roof replacements.
Q9. Can the skylight glass pane be replaced only if it is cracked?
We may only be able to replace glass panes on commercial skylights. When it comes to residential use skylights No. The whole skylight needs to be replaced. Manufacturers nowadays do not sell glass panes as spare parts.
