Skylights Installation & Repair
Let Natural Light Into Your Home
Living in the Lower Mainland means making the most of every ray of sunshine you can get. Overcast skies and long winters can leave even the nicest homes feeling dark and closed in — and that’s exactly where a well-installed skylight makes all the difference.
At Direct Roofing & Contracting, we install and repair skylights throughout Abbotsford, Vancouver, Langley, Burnaby, Coquitlam, Maple Ridge, Chilliwack, and the surrounding Fraser Valley. Whether you’re adding a skylight to a new build or replacing a failing one, our team brings the expertise to do it right the first time.
Why Skylights Make Sense
A skylight is more than just a window in your roof. Done right, it transforms a room, making tight spaces feel open, reducing your reliance on artificial lighting, and adding real value to your home.
Today’s skylights are nothing like the leaky acrylic domes of the past. Modern units are built with double-tempered, Low-E, argon-filled glass that keeps heat in during winter and out during summer. Many models also feature built-in blinds, tinting options, and operable venting so you can control light, heat, and airflow on your terms.
Popular rooms for skylight installation include:
Bathrooms — Bring in natural light without sacrificing privacy, and reduce moisture with a vented option.
Kitchens — Brighten the heart of your home and create a welcoming space for cooking and gathering.
Bedrooms — Wake up naturally with soft morning light and turn any bedroom into a calm, airy retreat.
Living Rooms & Hallways — Open up darker interior spaces that have no exterior wall access.
Why Skylights Fail — And How We Prevent It
Most skylight leaks aren’t a product problem — they’re an installation problem. Improper flashing, poor sealing, and incorrect placement are the main culprits behind the leaks and water damage that give skylights a bad reputation.
At Direct Roofing, we stay current on skylight technology and manufacturer installation standards so your skylight performs the way it’s designed to. Every installation is treated as a roofing project, not just a carpentry task — because protecting the integrity of your roof is just as important as the skylight itself.
Our Installation Process
We follow a thorough, step-by-step process to ensure your skylight is watertight and built to last.
