Expert Skylight Repairs and Installation in Ottawa

A skylight is not just a window — it is a penetration through your roof system. If flashing, insulation, or sealing is done incorrectly, even a small mistake can lead to water damage, mold, and structural issues.

Ottawa’s freeze-thaw cycles, snow loads, and heavy rainfall make professional installation especially important. At Ottawa Roofers Pro, we approach every skylight repair and installation with a roofing-first mindset, ensuring your roof remains fully watertight and energy efficient.

Many homeowners contact us after noticing water stains, condensation, or cold drafts around their skylight. These problems are usually not caused by the glass itself, but by improper installation or failing flashing.

Leaks often develop when skylight flashing was installed incorrectly or when roofing materials around the skylight have deteriorated over time. Foggy or cloudy glass is another common issue and typically indicates a failed seal within the skylight unit.

Drafts and heat loss are also signs that insulation or air sealing was not done properly during installation. Our skylight repair services address the root cause of these problems rather than masking them with sealants that eventually fail.

A properly installed skylight can brighten your home, improve ventilation, and increase property value. Our skylight installation services in Ottawa are ideal for homeowners looking to add natural light to dark spaces such as bathrooms, kitchens, hallways, and attic conversions.

We carefully integrate each skylight into your existing roofing system using proper underlayment, ice and water shield protection, and precision flashing. This ensures your skylight performs efficiently year-round without compromising your roof’s integrity.

Every skylight installation is completed with long-term durability and leak prevention as the top priority.

Attempting DIY skylight repairs or relying on surface caulking often leads to recurring leaks and higher repair costs down the road. Water can travel beneath roofing materials before appearing inside your home, meaning the visible leak is often not the actual source of the problem.

Professional skylight repairs and installation ensure proper drainage, correct flashing alignment, and compatibility with your roofing materials. This protects not only the skylight itself, but also the surrounding roof structure and interior finishes.

When installed correctly, skylights offer more than just natural light. They can reduce reliance on artificial lighting, improve airflow, and make interior spaces feel larger and more inviting.

Modern skylights are designed with energy-efficient glazing that minimizes heat loss during winter and reduces heat gain in summer. For many homeowners, a skylight upgrade also improves resale value and overall curb appeal.

Every project begins with a thorough roof and skylight inspection. We assess the condition of the skylight, surrounding roofing materials, flashing, and insulation to determine whether repair or replacement is the best option.

Once the issue is identified, we explain your options clearly and complete the repair or installation using proven roofing methods. Before finishing, we test the area to ensure it is fully sealed and watertight.

This structured approach ensures every skylight repair and installation meets our professional standards.

In some cases, a skylight can be repaired effectively, especially if the unit is relatively new and the issue is related to flashing or sealing. However, older skylights with failed glass seals, repeated leaks, or outdated designs are often better candidates for replacement.

We always provide honest recommendations based on long-term performance, not short-term fixes.
