New Skylight

No leaks, great energy savings, and cleaned up very well. Wish I had used them for the first installation. Neighbors have used them too and are very satisfied. Job well done.

I have been extremely pleased with the job that Skylights Unlimited did of replacing my skylight and redoing the valley below it. The workers were very professional and the follow up with pictures kept me informed.

Replace skylight with energy-efficient one

We had an acrylic dome skylight that was acting like a magnifying glass in our 3-storey townhouse. We wanted to replace the skylight with an energy-efficient, low-e, glass skylight with an integrated shade.

With other companies, we received one quote by phone, and then an inflated quote when the representative came out to see us. I guess they sized us up as being able to "afford" a premium for the install. Not so with Skylights Unlimited. Their quote was competitive, consistent, and when we added extras (solar-powered shade, venting) the cost only went up marginally (only by the amount that Velux charged for the extra -- not a special, nice-home premium).

To top it off, the team was professional, efficient and (we could hear them on our roof) took extra steps to do the job well. We needed an extension rod for our cathedral ceiling (we opted for the manual venting skylight, not electronic) and someone from Skylights Unlimited drove it over to our place the next week. No extra charge.

Approximate cost of services:
$2,200.00
Any advice to offer fellow homeowners facing a similar project?
If you have multi-levels, definitely consider a venting skylight. It makes a huge difference at releasing the trapped heat on hot summer days.

Thanks for the nice review, Izabella. We’re sorry to hear that other companies would inflate their prices since they thought you could afford it! We always price our jobs based on what work needs to be done and the time it will take, not on the looks of the home. We strive to be fair and honest in each step of the job, no matter who it’s for. It’s not just Denis, the owner, but our crews also truly care about doing each job as if it were their own home. Oh, and thanks for referring us to others! Have a great summer, Sarah

Skylight Replacement & Interior Work

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 would recommend to anyone who would like to install a skylight to go with Skylights Unlimited. The pre-installation interview with Denis provided me with the honest advice of using good Velux products, as well as the suggestion of a complete service which included not only the installation of the skylight, but also repairing the damaged stucco ceiling due to water leakage. The price was also reasonable. The technicians who did the installation and repair services are experienced, skillful and courteous. Now I have a no leak skylight and my stucco ceiling is restored back into shape. The job was well done.

Thanks,

Davey

Hi Davey, We appreciate you taking the time to write a nice recommendation for us. It’s nice to hear when a client was pleased with each aspect of our company. We know that there can be extra details which need to be done when replacing a skylight. So often leaky skylights damage the interior of the home and we’re happy to fix that part of our client’s place as well as the skylight! All the best, Sarah

New skylight

I found Skylights Unlimited by googling on the internet. After reading their online reviews and meeting with Denis, I have decided to use Skylights Unlimited for our new skylight installation. Denis was very helpful and quick to respond to any of my questions. He also provided great referrals for ceiling work that needs to be done at my house. He was very accomodating and allowed their scaffold (built by his team) to be re-used by another contractor to finish off the ceiling work. His team of men, Ed, Gord and Darko were very professional, clean and provided great advice for any question that I have related to my house. I would definitely use them again and refer them to friends/relatives. Great job!

Repair one leaking skylight previously installed by Skylights Unlimited

In 2001, Denis and his crew installed a large ( 4 ft x 4 ft) skylight and a smaller for us. Both were Velux. We have been very happy with them for the past 10 years. The job was well done and they kept the area clean. Recently, the large one leaked a tiny bit. The leak was so minor that we debated whether it was actually a leak or condensation, and should we call in Denis to fix it at all? It did not leak for the following month while we decided, although there had been heavy rains and storms. It had not leaked all winter or ever before. When there's a 4 foot hole in your roof, you do fix it. With the rainy spring, scheduling the repair was tricky, but eventually, there was a good day to go ahead. Denis sent two polite young men and a repair kit. They spent 3 hours removing the glass, cleaning the channels, installing the kit and glass, and carefully caulked it all. It is now guaranteed for another ten years. We're happy with the work and would not hesitate to recommend Denis and his crew. They are very knowledgeable and do not rush the job to get to the next one.

Thanks for taking the time to review us, Marguerite. Sometimes leaks do occur after many years and even if they are small, it’s always best to get them looked at before it causes any damage to the interior of your home. Yes, this spring was very difficult for scheduling with all the rain we had, so we were very appreciative of your patience and understanding! We’re glad to hear that you were happy with our crew and the good job they did. Have a wonderful summer! Sarah

new skylights with blinds

We have 3 skylights in our home. The 2 in the kitchen had window shades on them to protect us from the heat. The blinds were deteriorating. The centre hall window didn't and that resulted in our upstairs being very warm. We decided to replace all 3 skylights with blinds as well. Denis promised us a date--and kept to it--the crew was pleasant cleaned up after the job. Best of all I think that the centre hall solar blind is doing the trick!!

Hi Noreen, Thanks for taking the time to write a review for us. The nice thing about having the blinds with your skylights is the option to keep them shut if the sun makes the room too hot. Many clients even go a step further and chose a venting skylight which allows the rising heat to escape, cooling down the entire room. Glad everything is working out perfectly for you now. Also, thanks for adding the pictures. It’s always good for perspective skylight owners to see the finished product as well as a little bit of the process steps when they’re making decisions. Enjoy the summer! Sarah
