Burlington homes

Burlington homes, by era

Burlington spread north from the lake over sixty years, so the further you are from Lakeshore Road, the newer your roof is likely to be.

South Burlington and Aldershot

Roseland, Shoreacres, Elizabeth Gardens and Aldershot have 1950s–60s bungalows and side-splits with low attics and mature trees. Sun tunnels and compact VELUX skylights bring light into small hallways and bathrooms.

Central Burlington

Brant Hills, Tyandaga, Headon Forest and Palmer are largely 1970s–80s homes now on their second roof, often with original skylights that are well past sealed-unit life.

North Burlington

Millcroft, Orchard and Alton Village are 1990s–2000s homes with complex roofs and big foyers. Many original builder roofs are now coming due.

Local weather, local roofs

Lake on one side, Escarpment on the other

Burlington’s geography funnels weather. That shapes how we build roofs here.

  • Wind along the lake and Escarpment. Gusts along the shoreline and near the Escarpment lift shingle edges. We use high-wind nailing and sealed starter strips at every edge.
  • Wet snow and freeze–thaw. Heavy, wet lake-influenced snow followed by thaws drives ice dams. Membrane at eaves and around skylights is non-negotiable.
  • Summer storms. Intense downpours test old flashing at chimneys and skylights first. Replacing tired flashing is often cheaper than repairing ceilings later.
  • Moss under mature trees. Older south-end streets with heavy canopy see moss and early shingle wear on north slopes.

Permits in Burlington

Cutting a new skylight opening is structural work and needs a City of Burlington building permit; like-for-like re-roofing and same-size skylight replacement usually do not. We confirm at the site visit.

Burlington questions

Frequently asked

Do you really come out to Burlington?

Yes. Our base is in Etobicoke, about 35 minutes along the QEW, and Burlington is part of our regular service area.

What does a skylight cost in Burlington?

VELUX 2026 list prices run $285 to $1,035 for a fixed skylight and $1,738 to $3,609 for solar venting, plus $138 to $272 for flashing. Installation is quoted after a site visit. See the skylight price guide.

Is a sun tunnel or a skylight better for my bungalow bathroom?

If there is attic space between the roof and ceiling and you mainly want daylight, a sun tunnel is simpler and cheaper. If you want a view or ventilation, a venting skylight with a shaft is better. We will show you both options.

Our roof is 25 years old but looks fine. Should we replace it?

Not necessarily. Book an inspection: we check for granule loss, soft decking, flashing and ventilation, and give you an honest estimate of remaining life.

Can you replace the skylight during the re-roof?

Yes, and it is the best time. The flashing is already exposed, so combining both saves labour and matches the new roof.
