Skylight Repair & Installation

Why You Can Trust Roofing Guys With Your Skylight Installation & Repair in Aurora

Roofing Guys is a residential roofing company based in Vaughan, Ontario, providing professional skylight installation, repair, and replacement services to homeowners throughout Aurora. We help homeowners bring more natural light into their homes, repair leaking or damaged skylights, and replace ageing units that are no longer performing as they should. Whether you’re considering a new skylight or experiencing problems with an existing one, our focus is on understanding your needs and recommending a solution that suits your home.

Our approach begins with an assessment of your existing skylight or the proposed installation area, including the surrounding roofing materials, flashing, and roof structure. We look for signs of deterioration, potential water-entry points, and determine whether repairs or replacement would be appropriate. For new installations, we’ll discuss suitable skylight options, placement, and installation requirements. You’ll receive a detailed estimate outlining the recommended materials, scope of work, and what to expect during the project.

We want to make the skylight installation and repair process straightforward for Aurora homeowners. We’ll explain each stage of the project, from preparing and protecting your property to completing the installation, repair, or replacement. Once the work is complete, we inspect the skylight and surrounding roofing components, remove debris, and thoroughly clean the work area.

  • New Skylight Installation: Explore suitable skylight styles and placement options to introduce more natural light into your home.
  • Skylight Replacement: Replace ageing or damaged skylights when worn components or recurring issues make replacement the practical choice.
  • Leak Investigation & Repairs: Assess moisture around skylights to determine whether the source is flashing, seals, glazing, or adjacent roofing.
  • Flashing & Weatherproofing: Review roof-to-skylight transitions and address vulnerable details that can allow water intrusion.
  • Clear Project Recommendations: Understand the condition of your skylight, available options, and the work involved before deciding how to proceed.

5 Signs Your Skylight May Need Attention in Aurora

Not every roofing problem means you need a new roof. But when problems become widespread or keep coming back, replacing the roof may make more sense than continuing with repairs. Here are some common signs your roof may be reaching the end of its useful life.

Warning 1

Water Dripping From Your Skylight When It Rains

You may notice water dripping from the skylight frame during heavy rain or a small puddle forming on the floor underneath it. Water can enter through damaged flashing, worn seals, or roofing materials surrounding the skylight. The skylight itself isn’t always the problem.
Warning 2

Water Stains or Peeling Paint Around Your Skylight

Brown stains, bubbling paint, or soft drywall around your skylight can indicate that moisture has been getting into the surrounding area. You might notice the stains growing after rainfall or when snow melts. Even if you haven’t seen water dripping, there could be a slow leak around the skylight opening.
Warning 3

Your Skylight Glass Is Always Foggy or Cloudy

Your skylight may look dirty or foggy even after you’ve cleaned both sides of the glass. If the moisture or haze is trapped between the glass panes, the insulated glass seal may have failed. Unlike condensation on the inside surface, this fogging cannot simply be wiped away.
Warning 4

Cracked Glass or a Yellowing Skylight Dome

You might notice a crack in the glass, discolouration, or an old plastic skylight dome that has turned yellow or cloudy. Over time, exposure to sunlight and changing temperatures can deteriorate skylight materials. Cracked glazing or a damaged dome may require replacement, depending on the type and condition of the unit.
Warning 5

Cold Drafts or Water Forming on the Glass in Winter

The area beneath your skylight might feel noticeably colder than the rest of the room. You may also see condensation collecting on the inside glass and dripping onto the surrounding trim during cold mornings. This isn’t always a roof leak. Indoor humidity, insufficient insulation, or gaps around the skylight can cause similar problems.

Roof Repair FAQs

Can a leaking skylight be repaired without replacing it?

Sometimes. Leaks may originate from flashing, seals, or nearby roofing rather than the skylight itself. If the unit remains in good condition, a targeted repair may be possible; recurring leaks or failed glazing may make replacement more sensible. The appropriate option for your Aurora home depends on an inspection.
Pricing depends on the skylight size and type, roof pitch and accessibility, interior finishing, and whether an existing opening can be reused. A site assessment and written estimate are the most reliable way to establish the cost.
Often, yes. The feasibility depends on roof framing, placement, slope, and the desired skylight type. Structural requirements and interior finishing should be reviewed before proceeding.
Consider its age, glass condition, recurring leaks, energy performance, and availability of replacement parts. Repair may be appropriate for isolated issues, while replacement can be more practical when multiple components are deteriorating.
