Skylights
in Surrey
Skylight leaks are almost always a flashing problem rather than a fault with the unit itself, and reflashing a sound skylight costs considerably less than replacing it. New installations are scheduled within a re-roof wherever possible to avoid opening the roof a second time.
What this covers
Skylights, done properly
Skylights get blamed for leaks that are almost always a flashing problem rather than the unit itself. Reflashing an otherwise sound skylight is a fraction of the cost of replacing it.
When we do replace, we do it as part of a re-roof wherever possible, because opening a roof twice costs you twice.
- New skylight installation
- Reflashing existing units
- Leak diagnosis
- Replacement during a re-roof
- Sun tunnels for interior rooms

How it works
No Surprises
Ryan walks every job himself before we quote it, so the price we agree on isn't going to change once work starts.
Free inspection
We come out, get on the roof, and photograph what's actually there.
Honest assessment
If it has five years left, we'll tell you. We'd rather do it right later.
Written quote
Fixed price, itemized, with the timeline. It holds for 30 days.
The work
Six crews, most re-roofs done in two to three days. Site cleared daily.
Where we work
Skylights across the region
Surrey
Home turf. Cloverdale through to Guildford, usually within days.
Langley
Both the city and the township, including acreage properties.
Delta
Ladner and Tsawwassen, where the wind does its worst.
White Rock
Coastal exposure means roofs age faster here. We know it well.
Abbotsford
Scheduled re-roofs and storm work out to the valley.
Richmond
Flat roofs and commercial work mostly.
Questions
Skylights: what people ask
My skylight is leaking — does it need to be replaced or can it be reflashed?
In most cases the unit itself is fine and the leak is a flashing problem rather than a failed skylight. Reflashing an otherwise sound unit is a fraction of the cost of replacing it, and we'll diagnose the actual cause before recommending anything.
What's a sun tunnel and would it work in a room with no direct roof access?
A sun tunnel brings natural light into interior rooms that can't accommodate a traditional skylight. Whether one suits your space depends on your roof layout and the room below, so give us a call or send a message and we can take a look.
If I do need a new skylight, does the timing matter?
It can. Where possible, we replace skylights as part of a re-roof rather than as a standalone job, because opening the roof twice means paying for that work twice. If a re-roof is coming up, it's worth flagging the skylight at the same time.

The Rest of What We Do
Re-roofing
A full tear-off and replacement that starts by exposing the deck so nothing gets covered up without being photographed first. The roof is dried in the same day it's stripped, and rotten sheathing is replaced before new material goes down.
Read moreEmergency repairs
Active leaks get a same-day tarp to stop water from spreading while the structure dries out enough to repair properly. Everything is photographed throughout, which gives you usable documentation if an insurance claim follows.
Read moreStorm damage
After storm damage, a proper on-roof assessment with photographs gives you something concrete to hand an adjuster rather than a verbal opinion. Honest advice on whether the damage actually warrants a claim is part of the assessment.
Read moreGutters
Overflowing and deteriorating gutters are one of the more common starting points for wall and foundation water damage on Lower Mainland homes. Replacement, leaf guards, downspout work and seasonal cleaning are all handled.
Read moreFlat roofs
Torch-on and TPO membranes for additions, garages, decks and small commercial roofs, with drainage and slope corrected rather than just resurfaced. Flat roofs fail slowly at seams, so getting the water moving off properly is the part that matters most.
