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.
Answer from pro:
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.
Answer from pro:
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

Installation of Skylight over Stairway
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!
Answer from pro:
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.
Answer from pro:
Hi Gloria, Thanks for the great review! We’re so pleased that you’re happy with the new skylights. We are so blessed to have Andrei, such a talented, diligent worker that always does a wonderful job on our team. Happy Holidays, Sarah

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 David, Thanks for taking the time to write a review for us. We’re very proud of our excellent installation crews, as they always do a stellar job! We like to treat your home as if it were our own, that’s why we make sure that everything is spick and span when we finish a job. Enjoy your sunshine! Sarah

skylight replacements
our old skylights were leaking. a review of our existing units showed a horrible patch up and repair over time. the company removed the old ones and installed new glass velux units. a clean, efficient and perfect job!
Answer from pro:
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.

Skylight replacemenf
I needed my 2 acrylic domed skylights replaced and after reviewing several skylight installers on homestars and getting quotes, I decided to go with Skylights Unlimited and I was glad I did. Their quote was comparable to others and they actually matched a lower quote. Denis the owner came by assessed and described the work to be done which was nothing out of the ordinary. Their installers (Gerik and Goran) came on time and were providing me information throughout the whole installation. The only issue was the shingles that they brought did not match the existing shingles on the roof. Since it was the holiday weekend, many roofing suppliers were closed and Denis and Santo assured me that they will find a vendor who sells these shingles. After a couple of follow up calls with Skylights Unlimited, they found the shingles and their installers finished up the job and right on time as well..a day before the a huge rainstorm! They put enough ice and water shield so that no their would be no leaks and sure enough there wasn't. My wife and I are happy with the new skylights and they make a huge difference in terms of looks, noise and energy efficiency. I definitely woule recommend them to anyone who wants to use their services.
Answer from pro:
Hi Gerry, We're glad you're happy. I must admit it was difficult finding your match for shingles. I recall even your roofer had the wrong colour on his quote. Thanks for your patience during our hunt for shingles. There is a huge difference going from Dome (acrylic/plastic) to Velux LoE3 Energy Star Rated glass skylights. You not only see the difference but also feel the difference. Enjoy your skylights. Regards, Santo

Skylight
I wanted to have my skylight replaced since last year just didn't know which company to go for. I was also confused by the type of skylight to pick, plastic or glass! I was glad that I found Skylights Unlimited which provided excellent customer service and professional installation. Santo was very nice and he gave me good advise on the type to pick. The quote was clearly documented and price was good. My daughter was impressed by Denis' professionalism. The installation was done earlier than I expected. The installers were nice. The job was well done and site was left clean. I am very happy with the new skylight and would highly recommend Skylights Unlimited to anyone !!!

Hi Winnie, We're so glad you're happy. We treat every job as if we are working on our own homes. It's nice of you to take the time to write these kind words. Enjoy the sunshine! Regards, Santo

Installation of an opening skylight
I had skylights unlimited install a remote opening skylight with a flared tunnel above our stair case. The crew showed up on time every day and did and outstanding job. They had to build a scaffold to get to the ceiling, and they took the care to pad everything out so our floors weren't damaged. They also built a plastic tent around the opening in the ceiling so none of the blown insulation would get into our house. The final result looks fantastic. It's been one year and we've had no issues of any kind. Would definitely recommend them for your skylight project.
Answer from pro:
Hi Asanka, Thanks for this great review. We respect the home of our customer as if it was our own. Skylights is all we do and our goal is to do it better than anyone else. We're glad you're happy. Thanks, Denis.
