Like to really thank Skylights Unlimited for the job well done with my skylight replacement from start to end. After my initial call, Denis the owner of the company, showed up promptly to take a look at my existing leaking skylight. He took pictures to show me the problem and when we sat down he advised me that my skylight was about 25 years old and needed a replacement. Further he told me that the new Velux type skylight would in the long run save me money in the cold winter and hot summer because unlike the old acrylic one, the new one would be a lot more efficient. I immediately felt comfortable with his advices, and the information he gave to me. Once I signed the contract which was the same day on June the 8, two days later June 10 in the afternoon, I had my skylight replaced. The two man crew Goran and Chime arrived on time and they were very professional and polite. I was very impressed with their skills and the answers to all my questions. One other thing I was very happy and like to mention. I am retired and close to 70 years old. Very afraid of heights so I could not possibly go on the roof to check the work done. Goran and Chime took pictures with their cell phone of all the work phased of the removal of the existing and the installation of the new one. The next day Tina sent all the pictures taken to me via e-mail for my record and file. In summary, I am very happy with the job well done. We had quite a bit of rain lately and so far not even one minute drop came in. That gives me peace of mind. Additionally, I can fully trust that if anything goes wrong, I can count on the written guarantee of 20 years on the glass seal and 10 years on the installation and material. After all Skylights Unlimited has been in business for so many, many years. I am so happy that I even recommended Skylights Unlimited to a friend who lives one street north of me and will continue to refer to other family and friends I talk to. Job well done. Also like to thank Susan for keeping in touch with me through the process. Happy Canada Day to all the staff and workers at Skylights Unlimited. Basilio

My apologies for the delay in our feedback, just such a busy time of year....
We would love to give you guys a 10 rating. We were very happy with the initial visit from Denis and his colleague the day they provided us with the quote. The workers who performed the actual installation work were efficient, timely and very diligent. Everyone we met with was courteous, professional and the work looks to be top notch. Many thanks and kind regards, Lisa & Adam

My wife and I wanted to thank Skylights Unlimited for the incredible job Ed and Chris did
for us in the installation and finishing of our skylight.. Both Ed and Chris were remarkable in their
workmanship and professionalism. We would like them assigned back to us
when we get around to doing our next skylight....soon. The job was done as discussed and completed on budget.

We can't believe we didn't get one sooner.

Thanks Praveen

We are very pleased with Skylights Unlimited Inc. They sure live up to their Leak Proof Sunshine slogan. Three separate contracts with Skylights Unlimited Inc since last November says it all. If you want hassle free workmanship and leak proof sunshine, look no further. Don’t waste your time shopping around, take it from us, go straight to Skylight Unlimited. Ed is the best in the field. He would take time to explain to us how everything is done and we had him back to our house three separate occasions for a total of one skylight, five sun tunnels and two MAXIMUM vents - 100% satisfaction each time.
Denis was also great to deal with - no fuss pricing and very responsive. If we had more space on the roof, we would have them back again - unfortunately we are running out of places for more openings on our roof.
We love the sunshine in our house. We also love what the MAXIMUM vents do for our heating and cooling. The past winter was super cold however our house remained comfortable without having to turn up the heat. Prior to installing the MAXIMUM vents, we had those turning wheels that did nothing. In winter time we could literally feel the chilly air coming down our spines whenever we worked from the second floor home office. We sure noticed a difference after we had the MAXIMUM vents installed just before the brutal winter settled upon us - no more chilled spines and chilly days and nights. We no longer had to layer up just to keep warm without having the furnace running non-stop.
The vents are great during the hot days - no longer two seasons between the first and second floors. Now we can walk comfortably to the second floor without noticing the change in temperature.
All in all, we are simply happy with what we have and the great work Skylights Unlimited did. We would not hesitate to recommend them to everyone we know.
Thanks, Kathy.

Skylight Replacement

The guys arrived on time as committed. They were extremely courteous. We have very high skylights with a steep roof. They assessed the best way to access the skylights with the least disruption to the house. As well, I don't drive but our car was parked in the drive, at my request, they moved my car for me and parked it back when they were done. They were very respectful for the inside of the house and straightforward and accurate about the time the whole job would take.

They do take credit cards but they will charge you a 3% processing fee. Cheques are free of charge.

New Skylight Install

I just wanted to say how happy we are with the skylight! The service was amazing! We had such a tight deadline and not only did they meet it - they actually installed the skylight earlier than expected - which is amazing!! Denis, Tina and Susan were all so helpful and great to work with and the installation crew were quick and clean! I would highly recommend them! Thanks again!

Skylight and tunnel skylight installation

Skylights Unlimited exceeded my expectations. Denis, who provided the original estimate, was a very helpful in describing my options. I felt I was working with a design consultant and not a salesperson. The price was great. Eddo and Chris showed up punctually and completed the work in 2 days. At the end of each day the kitchen and bathroom were left spotless. Pictures from inside the attic and from the top were emailed to me. I had no idea a skylight could lighten up a space, and transform the mood of my little 1952 bungalow as it did. Susan and Tina, thanks for your thoughtful follow-up. Definitely very satisfied.

I was so impressed and so grateful for the outstanding job that Ed did on my skylight. I could not have asked for a more skilled, informative and caring person to do this job. It is really wonderful to come across someone who takes such pride in their workmanship. I really appreciated the extra time taken to protect my stairs and there was virtually no clean up needed on my part. Usually when I have any work done on my home, I have an allergic reaction to dust and materials, but with this installation, I felt healthier afterwards!!!
The skylight has already made a big improvement to my home. I no longer feel a draft, or excess heat coming through, it is visually lovely, and I can no longer detect a mouldy odour from that part of the ceiling, and of course....no leaking!!! I couldn't be more pleased.
I am handing out your number to my neighbors.
Many thanks, Anne-Marie
