Fixed Skylight with solar-powered shade & Electric Opening Skylight

Skylights Unlimited did a fantastic job on our skylights. Denis was prompt in setting up a detailed estimate, and made a great suggestion for our small bathroom - including creating a cathedral ceiling, and shelf into the attic space, which we decided to go with (though no pressure to do so). Everything was handled very professionally and accomodating to our circumstances. The installers' work was methodical, and you could really tell they cared about the work. They walked us through step-by-step as they completed the work, which turned out fantastic. They also had great insights and suggestions along the way. Work was done ahead of schedule, the clean-up was great and there were no surprises in the final bill! The skylights look amazing and overall it was a fanstastic experience - and highly recommended!

Thanks for taking the time to write such a glowing review, Mike. We truly want each of our clients to have nothing but a positive experience when they come to us with a job. It helps a great deal that our install crews work for us - they’re never sub-contracted out. They really do care about the work they do and want the client to know what they’re doing and why each step of the way. All the best, Sarah

replaced existing skylight that was leaking

Skylights Unlimited were easy to deal with.
They were very prompt in quoting and the installation was fast and not a bother at all.
The crew was fast efficient and very polite.
They were extremely clean with the install and after they finished you wouldn't even know they were there.
Highly Recommend!

Hi Michael, This is exactly what we like to hear. We know that having any kind of construction done in your home can be a bit of a pain. We strive to make it as painless as possible. And this includes good manners, timing and a spotless clean-up! Thanks for the review, Sarah

Replace 3 old Velux skylights

Our house had developed problems with old Velux skylights - condensation in the bathrooms and leaks over the stairs, causing stains on drywall and drips on the floor. The skylights were roof-mount original Velux interior wood frame that opened (we never opened them) and were installed during the construction of the home in 1986 - we purchased our home in 2008. We knew we wanted to replace with the same manufacturer, due to the quality of the product. The task at hand was to find a good installation company. Through internet searches and Home Stars, we concluded Skylights Unlimited was the company to use. Denis came to our home, we discussed/agreed on the requirements for fixed curb-mount installation, and the rest went through like clock-work. The crew worked very hard to finish in one day ahead of a March snow storm the folowing day - finishing after 7:00 p.m. (they started just after 9:00 a.m.). Clean-up was thorough. Thanks to Andre, Jeff, and the rest of the crew for a great installation and to Denis and his staff for a professional process from start to finish.

Thanks for the thorough review, Greg. We really do our best to please each client by not only providing a superior install/repair and clean-up, but also a pleasant experience with the office staff in each step of the job. I will pass on this message of praise to the guys in the crew. They always work with such diligence, so it’s nice for them to hear what an excellent job they’re doing from the clients too. Take care, Sarah

Skylight

Ten years ago Skylights Unlimited Inc. has opened a skylight for my home and recently I've asked them to do another skylight for my new home. They are extremely professional and we are really please with their services. I would recommend Skylights Unlimited Inc. to my friend without doubt.

Hi Alice, We were so pleased to hear from you again. It just goes to show that once you have a skylight installed in your home it’s hard to live without one as the added sunlight sure does make a difference. We’re happy that you were so satisfied with our work the first time that you called us back for a 2nd installation in your new home. Enjoy the great weather to come! Sarah

Replacement of 2 four x four skylights in bedroom

The contract was signed in January 2010. Mr. Charron was in contact with me frequently as to the ice conditions on the roof and when they could safely proceed. Roughly a month later the work was carried out over two and a half days by two employees who worked efficiently, noiselessly and tidied up to perfection. In all, a painless experience.

Thanks for taking the time to write a review for us, Violet. It’s always a challenge working in the skylight installation business throughout the winter. The snowy/ icy conditions can often cause delays as we have to wait for the right time to send the crews up on the roof. Denis always makes sure that the clients are kept in the loop and we do our best to work around the ever-changing weather. We’re happy that you’re happy. All the best, Sarah

Assisted Review

An assisted review is collected by a contractor on behalf of the homeowner after their work is completed. The homeowner must confirm the text of the review and may make any changes she or he deems appropriate. The homeowner then assigns the contractor a review score out of 10. Assisted reviews receive the same scrutiny as other reviews and must follow our review guidelines.

I just wanted to write a review to express my appreciation of a job well done! It is kind of belated but I was under the false impression that summer was still on...thanks to the brightness in my house! Sure, it cost me more than what I originally anticipated, but it was well worth the money. I only wish I had done this years ago. It is always better late than never, though. Their crew was very professional, polite and went that extra mile to ensure the job was done to absolute perfection. I know that they take great pride in what they do and I'm sure that they'll keep up the good work! When I save up enough money I will give them a call as I intend to buy more sunlight from Skylights Unlimited!

Thanks for the great review, Raj. We’re happy to hear that your new skylight has been tricking you into thinking that it’s not winter! Many people don’t realize the effect that sunlight (or lack of sunlight) has on their lives. Living in Canada-a country with such long winters- makes it even more important and satisfying to get skylights installed in their homes. And yes, it’s true-better late than never! We’re glad you contacted us and look forward to working with you again in the future.

All the best, Sarah

Skylights Installed

We had several companies and roofers look at our tricky job - replacing a sloped small roof with 4 skylights in it and replacing a small section of roof that was attached. They replaced the section and skylights, finished the trim inside - everything looks amazing and one year later, there is absolutely no leaking. Andrei, the main installer we had was absolutely an artist - it is rare to have a team of people like the installers that take such pride in their work and insist on doing it well. We highly recommend this company - especially is Andrei is heading up the work team.

new installation

There's many positive reviews here and Skylights Unlimited did not disappoint. Our installation was a bit tricky, with a steep roof, a long tunnel and uneven rafters and joists. The installation crew was on-time, efficient (2 days) and very neat. They did not leave a mess inside or outside the house. The final work looks great and adds much-needed light to a formerly dim room. All around a job well done!

Hi Gisele, thanks for providing some helpful feedback. With your new Velux Energy Star Rated Glass Skylights you will feel and see the difference. You'll find a lot less heat loss in the winter and a lot less heat gain in the summer…and no more leaks! Happy Holidays from all of us here at Skylights Unlimited Inc.
