Replace existing leaky skylights on carport

These guys were fast at responding to my inquiries.
They asked me to email them pictures of the skylights that needed
to be replaced for a more accurate quote. Then followed up with an actual on-site inspection of my carport.

I also had other companies quote on the job but they quoted too
high over the phone without even seeing what they were going to be working with.

I had a couple of conversations with Denis regarding the right skylight that I wanted. Denis was very thorough in finding the right skylight that suited my needs.

Overall I'm extremely happy with the installation. I will use them again in the future when I decide to get a Sun Tunnel installed.

$2,000.00
Any advice to offer fellow homeowners facing a similar project?
Don't let Companies talk you into getting a Skylight with an R-value when you don't need one as in my case.

Hello E.G., We're happy to hear that you're pleased with our overall service. We know that giving a quote over the phone isn't enough. We prefer to be thorough in our evaluation of the work that will be included in each job. This is why Denis goes to each home to meet with the client and have a good conversation about their needs and what will be included in the job. We look forward to working with you again when it comes time to get that sun tunnel. Take good care, Sarah and everyone at Skylights Unlimited.

Skylight Replacement

One morning in October, after a tremendous rain storm, I discovered that one of my skylights was leaking. What a mess! I started reading reviews on HomeStars and discovered Skylights Unlimited Inc. I called and arranged for quotes from 3 different skylight companies and was quite surprised when the owner of Skylights Unlimited Inc., Denis Charron, arrived at the house. Denis spent far more time than the other 2 companies and carefully examined the skylight and explained that, because of the house settling over the 15 years since the skylights were last replaced, the seal had broken and any 'repair' would be makeshift at best. He drew diagrams to explain how and why the skylight should be replaced and suggested that it was only a matter of time before another skylight, a metre away, would fail as well. The next day he e-mailed me a very competitive quote and I decided to use them for the new skylights.

I am enormously pleased with the job that was done. The crew, Jeff and Kevin, were a pleasure to work with: professional, knowledgeable, personable, patient and very skilled. They ran into an unexpected problem because of the roof construction which could have meant tearing out the plywood boxes. A less competent crew would have simply torn out the boxes and left me with the mess and expense of replacing them but Jeff and Kevin managed to solve the problem without damaging the boxes. A neighbour who was a finalist for the "Canada's Best Handyman" television show 'dropped by' halfway through the work and said they were doing an outstanding job. They worked from 9:15 until after 6:00, cleaned up every bit of debris and even swept the driveway and the front porch.

Yet another 10 out of 10. A job extremely well done! I would recommend Skylights Unlimited Inc. without reservation.

Hi Robin, Thanks for taking the time to write this very thorough review of our services. It's greatly appreciated. We know that it can be an overwhelming process to figure out who to go to when you have an issue with your home. It's even tougher when you feel like you're alone in it. That's the great thing about Homestars, you can come here to find many people who were searching, just like you, for the right person to do the perfect job on their skylights and could make that recommendation to you. Denis takes great pride in his work and always wants to make sure that the job is well explained to each potential client. Since he cares so much about the client and the work performed, he has a staff of only professional skylight installers who have been doing this good work for years. Jeff and Kevin know how important it is to do the job right- and all aspects of it. They wouldn't want to leave you with problems down the road, which is why they took the time to figure out a solution to the problem. It makes us feel good to hear that we got the stamp of approval by your Canada's Best Handyman neighbour too! All the best, Sarah and the S.U. Team

Installation of new Skylight

Skylights Unlimited was very professional and they were very knowledgeable. They inspected my old skylight at no charge, told me what work was needed to be performed on the phone, scheduled the time of installation and after authorization went and performed the work, seamlessly. I came home and I had a new high efficiency skylight. No worries, no fuss.

replace old skylight

When finding trades to repair and replace or install, I always use this site. Skylights Unlimited is an exceptional company. Right from the first phone call to the finished product. You will not be disappointed with this company. I have built two homes and have had my share of different trades come and go. Dennis and his team are by far one of the best companies I have worked with. Thank you for a job well done.

As the maintenance manager for a 300,000 sqft enclosed shopping mall located in the eastern ontario region of canada I had occasion to utilize the services of this company.The mission was to resolve water leaks in a large sporting goods store emanating from 2 large 20 ftx20ft pyramid skylights.After discussion over the phone it was indicated that there was an issue with sealing of the thermopanes.The crew repaired the problem and to this date approx 6mos later I have had no more problems from this area.
As the size and scope of the work was outside the usual norm for this company,I am impressed by the work and professionalism shown by the staff.I would highly recommend this company to anyone else needing repairs residential or commercial.

Skylight, roofing and ceiling replacement

Skylights Unlimited was the most professional of the many companies I contacted off the internet. They came when they said they would, gave a reasonable estimate and start time, and worked with me as I changed the scope of the project to include replacing the water-damaged portion of a stipple ceiling as well as repairing the roof and replacing the skylight that had caused the water damage in the first place.

Even more impressive were the two workers who did the actual work. Did their work when they said they would, finished on time, and had minimal intrusion into my home. They even moved the protective plastic sheeting they'd set up when I had a major appliance delivered through their work area, and took pictures to show me the extent of the damage and the nature of the repair.

All the staff acted very professionally, something I don't see very often these days: polite, helpful, nice people.

Most importantly, their work is top-notch. Can't see where the ceiling was patched, and the new skylight and repaired section of roof is great. No surprises on the cost, and they finished when they said they would.

I'd use them again with pleasure.

Good Morning Dennis, Thanks for the thorough and kind review. We know how important it is to be flexible when it comes to work on your home. Things do come up throughout a job that changes the scope of a project so we make sure to keep the client informed through conversations and photos so that they know what the possibilities are and feel comfortable with their choice. It’s so nice to hear back from a client such as yourself when they’re completely satisfied since this is what we strive for with each job. Happy Holidays from Sarah and the S.U. team.

Skylight Replacement

After a bathroom renovation we discovered a leak in an old skylight. We tried to fix the problem ourselves but the leak continued and in the end we searched for a reliable skylight company. Skylights Unlimited came highly recommended on Home Stars and so we called them. Everything was straight-forward and seamless. Denis came out and was able to asses the situation and recommend a replacement skylight. The crew that came out was polite, quick and careful. Everything was finished in one afternoon leaving us with a clean and worry free new skylight. Thank you Skylights Unlimited.
