A skylight can turn a dark room into the brightest space in the house, but on a flat roof it is also one of the most common places for a leak to start. That is why choosing the right Toronto roofing company for skylight work matters just as much as choosing the skylight itself. At Flat Roofs Toronto, curb-mounted skylights are framed, set and flashed into the roof by roofers, not by a glazing crew that leaves the roof details to chance.

Why Skylights Leak on Flat Roofs

A skylight is a hole in your roof, and every edge of that hole is a potential entry point for water. On a low-slope deck, water does not run off as quickly as it does on a pitched roof, so poor flashing gets tested constantly. Most skylight leaks come from a small set of problems: a curb that was framed too low, flashing that was not tied properly into the roofing membrane, aging seals, or a unit that was simply installed without regard for how the surrounding roof works.

A Roofer-Led Approach

Our crews work on flat roofs every day, so we build the roof and the skylight as one system. The process covers:

  • Framing a properly sized and raised curb on the deck
  • Setting the skylight unit square and secure
  • Flashing the curb into the membrane so water is directed away
  • Sealing and finishing the details so the installation holds through Toronto winters

Because the same team handles both the roofing and the skylight, there is no finger-pointing if something goes wrong.

Replacement and Repair

Many homeowners call us about an older unit that is fogged, cracked or dripping. We can replace the skylight, rebuild the curb and reflash the surrounding roof so the new unit is not sitting on the same problem that damaged the old one. If a skylight is still sound and only the flashing or seal has failed, we will tell you honestly and repair only what is needed. Customers regularly tell us that our replacements were clean, well sealed and finished in about a day, and that repairs held through a full winter.

Natural Light Without the Worry

A well-installed skylight brings daylight into hallways, kitchens, bathrooms and stairwells, and it can make a small room feel much larger. When it is done properly, it should stay dry for years. If your roof is due for replacement, it also makes sense to update the skylight at the same time, so the new roof and new unit are flashed together.
