Dark interior halls in brand-new Seaton builds
Your new home has a long upstairs hall and a windowless bathroom that need the lights on at noon.
Why it happens here: Seaton is still filling in, with 1,549 of 20,989 planned units built by 2022, and many of the new floor plans put halls and ensuites in the middle of the house, away from any exterior wall.
How we fix it: Our sun tunnel crew fits a Velux TGR between the trusses in about half a day, with no framed shaft and very little drywall work.
-
Brown stains around the shaft
A ring on the drywall after every thaw usually means the head flashing or the ice and water shield behind it has failed, not the glass.
-
A room that needs lights at noon
Deep floor plans and north-facing kitchens get no direct sun. Overhead glass delivers far more light than a wall window of the same size.
-
A yellowed, noisy acrylic dome
Builder-grade bubbles turn brittle, drum in the rain and let summer heat pour in. Low-E glass fixes all three.
-
Drips that only show up in January
Frost on the glass and wet shaft walls are often condensation. We test before quoting, so you never pay for flashing you do not need.

From $1,800 Sun Tunnel Daylighting Installation Toronto
Skylight Installation Toronto installs sun tunnels and tubular daylight devices for dark hallways, closets, interior bathrooms and basement stairwells where a full skylight will not fit across Toronto and the GTA. We drill a 10-inch, 14-inch or 22-inch roof penetration, run a reflective rigid or flexible tube through the attic, and finish the ceiling diffuser so the room gets natural daylight without ceiling access to the roof. Sun tunnel installs run $1,800 for a basic Velux TGR 10-inch kit up to $2,900 for a Velux TMR flexible 22-inch rigid-tube install with solar night light and dimmer. Every install includes OBC 9.7 compliance, factory flashing kit matched to your roof type, Velux Certified Installer status since 2004, and a written workmanship warranty on roof penetration and ceiling diffuser seal.

From $400 Skylight Flashing Repair Toronto
Skylight Installation Toronto rebuilds and repairs skylight flashing on shingle, metal, tile, cedar shake and brick-abutting roofs across Toronto and the GTA. We strip the failed flashing, assess deck and curb condition, install new Grace Ice & Water Shield around the perimeter, then set a pre-engineered Velux EDL, EDM, EDW or Fakro ELV flashing kit matched to your roof type and pitch. Flashing repairs run $400 to $1,800 depending on roof type, access and whether the curb needs rebuilding, with no-nail step-flashing on tile and copper hand-forming on heritage brick abutments. Every repair is backed by OBC 9.26 compliance, Velux Certified Installer status since 2004, and a written workmanship warranty, since nine times out of ten failed flashing is where the previous installer cut the corner.

From $2,200 Residential Skylight Replacement Toronto
Skylight Installation Toronto replaces leaking, fogged, drafty and outdated home skylights across Toronto, Mississauga, Vaughan, Markham, Oakville and the GTA. We lift the old unit, inspect and repair the curb and deck framing, install new ice-and-water shield around the perimeter, then set a Velux FS, Velux VSS, Fakro FTT or Fakro FXP unit with a fresh factory flashing kit matched to your roof type. Same-size residential swaps run $2,200 to $4,800, with Low-E glass and laminated upgrades available depending on orientation and energy targets. Most installs finish in a single day with drop sheets inside and no drywall tear-out, and every replacement is backed by OBC 9.7 compliance, WSIB-covered crews with $5M CGL, written parts-and-labour warranty, and a lifetime leak-free flashing warranty on our install.

Pickering Skylight Know-How From Seaton to the Bay
Access via the 401
Our East York yard is about 30 minutes west on the 401. We book jobs here on grouped days, and commercial work on the Seaton employment lands and nuclear corridor is scheduled around site access rules. Permits go through City of Pickering Building Services.
Homes and Roofs We Know
Seaton. Only 1,549 of 20,989 planned units were built by 2022, so most streets are brand-new subdivisions on engineered trusses with dark interior halls. Sun tunnels and truss-bay Velux units are quick wins.
Bay Ridges, West Shore and Rosebank. Lakeside homes near Frenchman's Bay with wind-driven rain. We extend ice and water shield and use deeper flashing profiles.
Pickering Village. Older homes with fogged or leaking units ready for replacement.
Highway 401 employment lands. Flat commercial roofs with curb-mount units and fall-protection screens.
Lakeside Storms on Frenchman's Bay
Spring and fall storms off the lake push rain sideways into skylight side flashing. If your Bay Ridges or West Shore skylight leaks only in windy storms, the side legs of the flashing are the first place we look.

Common Pickering Skylight Questions
Can you add a sun tunnel to a new Seaton home?
Yes. A Velux TGR sun tunnel runs $1,800 to $2,900 CAD and usually takes half a day between trusses.
My Bay Ridges skylight only leaks in windy storms. Why?
Wind off Frenchman's Bay drives rain past weak side flashing. A new flashing kit with full-curb ice and water shield usually fixes it, often under $1,000 CAD.
How soon can you come to Pickering?
Most assessments here are next-day, and emergencies get the nearest crew via the 401.
Can you work on commercial roofs near the nuclear station?
Yes. On the employment lands along the 401 and around the Ontario Power Generation site we follow the site access and safety rules, supply COI and WSIB clearance before mobilizing and fit fall-protection screens on every commercial opening.
How much does it cost to replace an old skylight in Pickering Village?
Same-size residential replacement runs $2,200 to $4,800 CAD, and enlarging the opening runs $3,800 to $7,500. Our Rosebank Fakro FTT swap came in at $3,500 and took one morning.
