Skylights are a great way to invest in your home without breaking the bank. They provide natural light to be enjoyed throughout the day and help cut back on monthly electricity bills. Skylights make any space feel warm and bright, which can be appealing for rooms with few windows. They provide more privacy, and some skylights have a ventilation system that can push out warm air to avoid increased cooling costs. Skylights add curb appeal and will help raise your property value as they are typically a good selling point.
Skylights, while visually appealing, are hard to maintain and repair because of their location. Without a ladder, it is difficult for most homeowners to access their skylight safely. In addition, broken skylights can be extremely hazardous if the glass falls into the home. Therefore, homeowners should repair or replace broken skylights immediately after noticing the damage.
High Skillz Roofing Services are skilled professionals for skylight repair and skylight replacement in Toronto. Contact us for a detailed evaluation of skylights and let us handle repairs or replacements.
In many cases, it makes more sense to repair your skylight rather than pay for a replacement, especially if the skylight is less than five years old. The most common cause of skylight repairs in Toronto is leakage. A leaky skylight, while an eyesore, can also be indicative of hidden, more serious damage. First, you will want to make sure the leak is not just excess condensation that has dripped down the side of the interior, which typically occurs in colder climates and humid rooms such as bathrooms or kitchens.
However, if the insulating glass section of the skylight is leaking, resealing may be all that is needed to prevent future leakage. Leaks can also be caused by loose roof flashing, which often occurs when water from unsealed roof flashing travels the distance of the roof before penetrating the skylight seal. If this is the case, you may be able to remove the shingles surrounding the skylight, locate a leak within the current flashing, and repair with roof flashing cement. For a more long term fix, you will need to remove shingles, replace the flashing and then reinstall the shingles surrounding the skylight.

Sandra morra The work was quick and neat. The workers were polite and did their best to not be in the way. They cleaned up thoroughly after they were done. It's been a year since the new roof was installed and there has not been any problems.

Tom BrownThe average skylight lasts between 20-40 years before it needs replacing. If you are noticing an increased amount of leakage coming from your skylight and it is 12-15 years old, it may make more financial sense to invest in a replacement, as a skylight this old will need regular maintenance. If your skylight has visible damage, to the point where cracks are appearing in the glass, you will most definitely need to invest in skylight replacement in Toronto.
If it is within your budget, it is always smart to replace skylights at the same time that you replace your roof. If instead, you opt to replace your skylight and roof years apart, it will cost more, as roofers will need to rip up and reseal the new skylights to replace the roof. While visible cracks are an indicator that a skylight needs replacing, discoloration is also another indication that it’s time for a replacement. If your skylight is yellowed or discolored, then natural light is unable to penetrate the interior of your home, and a replacement is necessary.
When making the decision to either repair or replace the skylights in your Toronto home, it is essential to consider several variables. Understand the age of your roof and when you will need to invest in a new one. Roof repair or replacement at the same time as skylight replacement reduces cost. When it comes to leaks, consider the age of the skylight. If it’s under five years old, it makes sense to find the cause of the leak and fix it rather than replacing the entire skylight. However, if it’s over ten years old, it may make sense to invest in a replacement as regular upkeep will cost you more in the long run.
