We had a leaky skylight and knew it had to be replaced eventually. We researched several different companies and found a wide range of prices which was a bit unsettling. Finally we decided on Skylights Unlimited and we are glad we did. They were well-priced and when we had additional questions, they responded to our concerns right away.

They said it would take three weeks before someone could come in but about 10 days later they came and did the job in 4 hours. The guys even went an extra mile and advised us on how to fix a rain-gutter issue by drawing a picture for us. We're happy with the results and with the recent downpour we have not noticed any leaking at all, we just hope it lasts for at least 10 years. Thanks for a job well done!

Skylights Replacement

We had four skylights replaced by Skylights Unlimited. The installations required the team to build custom-sized framing on both flat and sloped roofs. Neat, efficient, quality results were competed in an impressive 3 days of hard work. We will definitely recommend Skylights Unlimited to our neighbours.

Skylight replacement

I had Skylights Unlimited come to my home for an estimate on a skylight replacement, both Velux products. The owner measured the opening and proceeded to recommend a product from the Velux line. A quote was subsequently generated and agreed upon. The product was installed but several problems ensued. The screen could not be removed and therefore I could not access the blinds nor the window for cleaning. Furthermore, in the event of a power failure, I could not manually remove the chain without cutting through the screen. The owner would not take responsibility for the problem and so I finally approached Velux. Velux hired a contractor at their own expense to install a track for a replacement screen that properly fit the existing tunnel. Three and a half years later, the problem has finally been rectified thanks to Velux.

Company Response

Keith,
I can appreciate your frustration with this situation. I believe there are a few other details that need to be mentioned to truly tell this story.

When you asked us to replace your skylight our inspection revealed that only one model from the Velux brand (that you specifically requested) would suit the roof pitch and sizing of your existing skylight tunnel. Unfortunately, this skylight, being a little larger than the old one, has an insect screen a little larger than the current skylight opening. Our mistake was that this did not occur to us at the time of inspection and we didn’t mention it to you. That was my mistake, but it was the only skylight that would suit your application and therefore, the only skylight that I could have recommend.

During the installation process our installers did mention this issue to you and of course, being in mid-process you and our team wanted to keep moving forward, despite the issue and you happily paid for the job done when it was completed. When you contacted me much later with the questions about removing the blind to be able to access the skylight in case of emergency, I offered to replace the insect screen at my own cost, should that need ever occur. But that was not acceptable to you. You felt that even though this was the skylight that you requested, we should pay for the cost of making a custom screen and application. This issue with the screen would have happened in any case, and yet you felt that we had to pay for this and that’s what I felt was unfair.

Subsequently, I visited your home with the President of Velux to find a solution for this issue. In seeing how you and I could not come to a meeting of the minds, Velux offered to deal with the issue themselves to avoid further conflict.

In truth, Velux and Skylights Unlimited have worked together for over 26 years and we have both helped each other in resolutions of such issues. It is unfortunate that you feel I did not fulfill my obligations, but I am glad your problem has been resolved and hope you enjoy the benefits of a well installed Velux skylight. Denis, Skylights Unlimited

4x4 Velux Opening Skylight

Skylights Unlimited followed through on a superbly smooth install of a large (4x4) opening skylight on a sloping wall of the 3rd floor of our house. We were left with no worries, just satisfaction. The skylight is awesome. Thanks to the office staff and field crew!

To the Skylights Unlimited team: Replacing our 27 year old Velux skylight with a new opening one was our first experience using Homestars as a reference. From start to finish, Skylights Unlimited delivered. From the initial contact to the final installation they were prompt, efficient, competent and considerate. What more can we say! 10 Plus! Thank you. Happy in Aurora:)

We had first a skylight replaced, and we were very happy with the service and the work, so we decided to add a skylight to our bathroom. We initially planned to use a sun tunnel, but your staff recommended a skylight instead. That was a very good suggestion and we are very happy with with the incredible amount of light we get there now! The work was excellent and very professional. Regards, Elisabeth and Alejandro

Skylight Replacement

Skylight Unlimited did a great job replacing my skylights. The staff was professional and efficient and was able to complete the job in one day. I had 2 old skylights replaced and they were able to retrofit an newer skylight I had replaced 5 years ago onto another slot so we were abe to save some money. Great job!

You guys did a great job with always keeping the work area and my home clean. I had my neighbors comment on how professional and courteous your crew was. Since I was not at home when they did the work, the word of my neighbors meant a lot to me, so I wanted to share that with you guys at Skylights Unlimited. Always good when the neighbors give you a compliment! Thanks for everything. They look great!
