What Moves a Skylight Price Up or Down

Model. Fixed units cost least, solar and electric units most, because of the motor, battery, panel and sensors.

Roof pitch and height. Steep roofs over 9:12 and three-storey homes need more staging and safety setup. Flat roofs need a raised, insulated curb.

Framing. Fitting between trusses is cheapest. Cutting and heading off a rafter adds labour and a permit.

Shaft. Deep attics and splayed shafts use more lumber, insulation and drywall.

Roofing material. Slate, cedar, tile and metal take more care than asphalt shingles and sometimes a different flashing kit.

Number of units. Two on one roof run $4,800 to $8,500 because setup is shared. In our opinion, if you are on the fence about a second skylight, doing both at once is the best value you will get.

Skylight Pricing FAQ

How much does skylight installation cost in Toronto?

A standard fixed Velux FS 2x4 ft skylight costs $2,500 to $3,500 CAD installed in Toronto, a manual venting Velux VS runs $3,200 to $4,500, and a solar-powered Velux VSS runs $4,500 to $7,500. A Fakro FTT thermal fixed unit is $2,800 to $4,200 and a Velux TGR sun tunnel is $1,800 to $2,900. Every quote itemizes the unit, install labour, permit, flashing and disposal, so you can compare it line by line against any other quote you get. Two units on the same roof run $4,800 to $8,500 because the crew is already set up, and a four-unit addition install runs $9,500 to $18,000.

Should I repair or replace my skylight?

Repair when the frame and glass are sound and the issue is flashing or a seal ($350 to $1,500). Replace when the unit is 20+ years old, fogged, rotted or on its second leak ($2,200 to $4,800 same-size). In our opinion, paying for a third repair on a tired unit is the most common way Toronto homeowners waste money on skylights. We will tell you honestly on the free assessment which side of the line your unit sits on.

Do you offer 24/7 emergency skylight repair?

Yes. After-hours leak response is $650 to $1,200 callout plus $150/hr, and weekend and holiday callout is $750 to $1,500. We tarp or seal the opening, protect the ceiling below and document damage with photos for your insurer. The permanent repair is quoted once the weather clears.

How much does a sun tunnel cost in Toronto?

A Velux TGR sun tunnel costs $1,800 to $2,900 CAD installed, and longer runs or extra elbows push complex installs toward $4,500.

Is the on-site assessment really free?

Yes. The on-site assessment, roof condition check and model recommendation are free anywhere in the GTA. You get a written, itemized CAD quote afterwards with no obligation.
