We install skylights for Ajax homeowners who want to brighten dark hallways, kitchens, and upper floors.

Our skylight work lowers energy bills and increases home value across Ajax neighborhoods.
We Handle Roof Cuts, Flashing, and Support Beams for Safe Skylight Installation
We install skylights in Ajax homes throughout Audley, Rossland, and nearby areas. We add support boards between your roof beams when your home needs extra strength. Our roofing team cuts exact openings, adds doubled beams when needed, and mounts the skylight system above your roof surface. We install metal flashing to move water around the skylight edges and put down waterproof membrane to stop leaks.
Before we start work, we check your attic space to see how your beams are spaced and what support you have. We find your roof beams, measure for the right skylight fit, and plan any fixes to your vapor barrier. This prep work makes sure your skylight sits level and stays secure without hurting your roof’s strength.
Our installation stops ice dams that happen in Ajax winters and prevents summer heat that damages shingles. We protect your roof for many years with the right support beams and expert waterproofing work.
We Install Fixed, Vented, and Tubular Skylights for Different Rooms and Roof Types
We offer fixed skylights that bring sunlight to your Ajax living rooms and hallways without opening. These units give you simple installations that resist leaks in rooms that don’t need fresh air. We also install vented models that open by hand or remote control. These work great for your bathrooms and kitchens where you need to control moisture.
For smaller spaces like closets and powder rooms in Ajax bungalows, we install tubular skylights. These small units use shiny tubes to bring sunlight from your roof down to inside rooms. They need very few changes to your home’s structure.
We install raised skylights on flat roofs in newer Ajax homes. These use special flashing that helps water drain away. For sloped roofs, we install flush units that sit even with your shingles for a clean look.
We match the skylight type to your roof slope, room purpose, and air flow needs.
Our team looks at your roof and tells you which skylight system works best for your home.
Why Choose Us
We Plan Skylight Placement to Bring You Light and Protect Your Roof
We position skylights to give you the natural light you want while keeping your roof safe. North-facing skylights give steady, even light without harsh afternoon glare. These work well for your home offices and living spaces. For south and west sides that get more summer heat, we install special Low-E glass to control heat and keep your cooling bills down.
We stay away from roof valleys, edges, and areas near chimney flashing where water pools up. We put skylights between roof beams when we can. This means we don't need to add extra beams and keeps your costs lower.
In Pickering Village and Williamsburg homes, we've turned dark center hallways into bright, happy spaces with well-placed skylights. Before we cut, we check your roof slope, measure beam spacing, and figure out sun angles. We mark beam locations from inside your attic, then double-check all measurements on your roof.
We balance what you want for natural light with what your roof structure can handle and what it needs to stay dry.
We follow Ontario Building Code rules for support beams and fire-safe light shafts on every skylight we install. Our licensed contractors know exactly how flashing pieces must overlap and where to put sealants for weather protection that lasts.
We make exact cuts that keep your roof beams strong and stop movement over time. Our complete flashing work prevents inside water damage that often shows up months after poor installations. We add proper air space around skylight frames to stop water drops when warm Ajax home air hits cold glass.
Our installations include all caulking, insulation fixes, and drywall finishing needed to complete the job. We seal every gap between the skylight shaft and the wood around it, then finish your inside surfaces to match your current ceiling. We handle all permit papers and set up inspections with the Town of Ajax.
We protect what you pay for with expert work that stops the expensive fixes that come after do-it-yourself installations.
We Install Quality Materials Built for Ajax Weather
We install quality skylights that last 15 to 25 years with regular care in Ajax weather. We offer strong glass units that stay clear and handle Ajax’s freeze-thaw cycles without breaking down. For lower-cost installations, we install impact-resistant plastic domes, though we’ll tell you that sun exposure can cause yellowing over time.
We build installations that stand up to Ajax winters and the repeated shrinking and growing that puts stress on skylight seals. We offer yearly check services to find small leaks before they damage your ceilings and insulation. During checks, we look at flashing condition, test seals around frames, and make sure step flashing stays properly layered with your shingles.
For south-facing installations where sun exposure speeds up sealant breakdown, we use top materials made to last longer. On opening skylights, we plan for seal replacements every 10 to 15 years to keep weather protection strong as rubber parts age.
We suggest and install Low-E coatings and special gas-filled glass to get the most energy savings in Ajax winters. This cuts heat loss through the glass. We track when we installed yours and call you when it’s time for a check to help you take care of your investment.
