Factory-trained, certified by the manufacturer, and based in Etobicoke — installing the full VELUX range across the GTA, from a single bathroom unit to a commercial modular roof.
Anyone can buy a VELUX skylight. The unit is not the hard part — and it is not where installations fail.
Almost every skylight failure we are called out to look at is the same failure. Not cracked glass, not a seal gone at ten years — water getting in around the unit, because the flashing was improvised rather than fitted. Aluminum bent on site to fit a roofing material it was never designed for. A curb that was soft and got reused anyway. No ice-and-water membrane, in a climate that freezes and thaws all winter.
VELUX writes its warranty against an installation specification. Certification means an installer has been trained on that specification and on the flashing system that goes with each product and each roofing material. It does not make anyone a better carpenter. What it does mean is that the person on your roof knows which flashing kit your roof calls for, and is fitting it rather than inventing something.
That is the whole argument, and it is why we bothered to get certified rather than just buying the same units off the same shelf as everyone else.
Ask these of every installer you speak to, including us. You are not testing their honesty — you are testing how specific they can be, and specificity is the tell.
And one more that costs nothing: ask to see the certification. We will show you ours. It is a fair question and no legitimate installer minds being asked it.
Residential: fixed skylights, manual venting, electric and solar-powered Fresh Air models, and SUN TUNNEL tubular skylights.
Commercial: the full VELUX Modular Skylights line — longlights, ridgelights, northlights and circular domes, including sub-construction and interior finishing.
Everything around them: curb construction, genuine flashing systems, ice-and-water membrane, and drywalled interior shafts. One crew, roof deck to painted ceiling.

Old framing, flat and low-slope roofs, and 27 Heritage Conservation Districts.
Bungalows, trussed roofs and bluff-exposed homes where sun tunnels often win.
Custom infill builds, Don Mills low-slope roofs, Willowdale postwar bungalows.
Our home base. The Kingsway period roofs and the Mimico lakeshore homes.
Large suburban stock and a permit process worth understanding first.
Newer subdivisions on engineered trusses, with easy driveway access.
Executive housing with steep pitches and complex roof geometry.
High-volume subdivision roofs where sun tunnels suit the floor plans.
Steep engineered-truss roofs and generous attic space.
Older lakeside homes and newer builds, both with fussy roof detailing.
Every photo on this site is our own work in the Greater Toronto Area. No stock imagery.
We produce shop drawings and submittal packages for VELUX Modular Skylight projects, and the Resource Centre carries CAD blocks, Revit families, CSI specifications and installation guides for download.

It means the installer has been trained by the manufacturer on the products they are fitting and on the flashing systems that go with them, and that VELUX is prepared to associate its name with their work. In practice it matters for one reason above all others: a VELUX warranty is written against a specification. Install outside that specification and the paperwork stops meaning anything. A certified installer is fitting to the spec the warranty is written for.
Ask three questions and listen to how specific the answers are. Which exact VELUX model are you quoting? Which flashing kit, for my roofing material? Are you installing the manufacturer's flashing system or fabricating your own? A certified installer answers all three immediately by product code. Anyone who is vague about the flashing kit is telling you something important. You can also ask to see the certification directly — we are happy to show ours.
The product warranty covers the product. What voids it in practice is installation outside manufacturer specification — improvised flashing, a curb that was never rebuilt, no ice-and-water membrane. Those are exactly the shortcuts certification exists to prevent. So the honest answer is that certification is not a magic word on a form, it is a reasonable proxy for the install being done the way the warranty assumes it was.
The full residential range — fixed skylights, manual venting, electric and solar-powered Fresh Air models, and SUN TUNNEL tubular skylights — plus the commercial VELUX Modular Skylights line: longlights, ridgelights, northlights and circular domes. We also build the curbs, do the waterproofing, and finish the interior shaft, so it is one crew from roof deck to painted ceiling.
Across the Greater Toronto Area. We are based in Etobicoke and work regularly in Toronto, Scarborough, North York, Mississauga, Vaughan, Markham, Brampton, Richmond Hill and Oakville. If you are just outside that and not sure, call (416) 999-9706 and ask rather than guessing.
Yes, and it is a significant part of what we do. VELUX Modular Skylights are a different discipline from residential units — sub-construction tolerances, module coordination, and specification documents that architects and general contractors need. We produce shop drawings and submittals for VMS projects. See the commercial page and the VMS specification page for the technical detail.
The genuine VELUX unit; the matching VELUX flashing kit for your specific roofing material; a curb that has been inspected and rebuilt if it is soft; ice-and-water membrane around the opening, which matters more here than in milder climates; and interior finishing if you want the room to look designed rather than patched. Every one of those is a line on our quote.
We cover the whole Greater Toronto Area. These pages cover what is particular to each municipality.
One permit authority, four very different housing stocks. Old-city Toronto for Victorian and Edwardian semis, narrow lots and low-slope rear additions. Scarborough for post-war bungalows and the wind exposure near the bluffs. North York for Willowdale rebuilds and the near-flat Don Mills modernist roofs. Etobicoke for The Kingsway, Long Branch and multi-pitch additions.
Mississauga is a dozen housing markets stacked together — Port Credit century homes through to Churchill Meadows new build, with a lot of 1980s acrylic bubble skylights now well past sealed-unit life. Brampton is dominated by 1990s and 2000s subdivision stock now hitting its first replacement cycle.
Vaughan and Richmond Hill are largely engineered-truss subdivision builds, which changes what is possible when cutting an opening. Markham adds Unionville's heritage constraints alongside the Cornell and Berczy subdivisions.
Oakville spans Old Oakville's heritage properties, the 1970s and 80s Glen Abbey and River Oaks stock, and newer north Oakville builds — three different conversations about the same roof.
