Why Use a Velux Certified Installer in Toronto
Velux makes some of the most reliable skylights you can buy, but a great unit can still leak if it is installed with the wrong flashing kit or the wrong underlayment. Certification matters because it means the installer has been trained on Velux’s own protocols for each model and roof type, and the factory warranty passes through to you cleanly.
We earned Velux Certified Installer status in 2004 and have kept it every year since, most recently with our 2026 Velux and Fakro certification renewal. We buy through a direct dealer account with Velux Canada, so we can get the full range, the right flashing kits and replacement parts without going through a big-box store.

Our Velux Expertise
Twenty years of Velux installs means we know the size codes by heart, which kit goes with which roof, and which older models need adapters when replaced. We also know the warranty paperwork, which matters when you need it.
What Actually Stops Homeowners From Choosing Velux
“Velux is more expensive.”
In our opinion, the difference shrinks fast when you count the factory flashing kit, better glass and warranty support. Big-box units often skip all three.
“Any roofer can install a Velux.”
Any roofer can, but a certified installer follows the factory protocol so the warranty holds.
“I don’t know which model I need.”
That is what the consultation is for.
“My old Velux is discontinued.”
We match the size code to the current model.
