Stop Leaks & Restore Sunlight Without Roofing Work

Skylights transform dark rooms with natural light, but they are also the most exposed glass in your home. Beating sun, heavy snow loads, and hail eventually cause seals to fail or glass to crack. When a skylight leaks or fogs, many homeowners fear they need a roofer. Not true. Installix offers skylight glass replacement. We replace the compromised thermal unit directly in the frame, saving you the cost and risk of ripping up your shingles and flashing.

Skylight Failure Symptoms

Water Leaks & Condensation

If you see water dripping, it might be the flashing, but often it's the seal of the glass itself. "Foggy" glass means the seal has failed, trapping moisture. This not only blocks light but reduces the skylight's insulation, letting heat escape your ceiling like a chimney.

Cracks & Impact Damage

Hail, falling branches, or thermal stress can crack skylight glass. Overhead glass breakage is a serious safety hazard and requires immediate attention.

The Solution: Re-Glazing the Skylight

We carefully remove the aluminum capping that holds the glass to the curb or deck-mounted frame. We swap the old unit for a new high-performance safety glass unit and re-seal the system with high-grade butyl and silicone.

Why Choose Installix?

  • Safety Glass Compliance: We install code-compliant Laminated glass for overhead applications to protect occupants below.
  • Leak Prevention: We use superior sealants designed for horizontal/sloped glazing applications.
  • No Roofing Required: We work from the inside or carefully from the roof without disturbing the shingles/flashing.

Technical Specifications

Feature Standard for Skylights
Inner Pane Laminated Glass: Like a car windshield, it holds together if broken to prevent falling shards.
Outer Pane Tempered Glass: Strong enough to withstand hail and heavy snow loads.
Coatings High-performance Low-E or Tinted (Bronze/Grey) to reduce glare and solar heat buildup.

Our Process: High & Dry

Step 1: Assessment

We determine if the leak is from the glass or the flashing. If it's the glass, we measure the unit precisely.

Step 2: Fabrication

We manufacture a custom Sealed Unit with Laminated safety glass.

Step 3: Installation

We access the skylight (usually from the roof), remove the pressure cap, replace the glass, and apply fresh wet seals. We ensure the weep holes are clear to allow drainage.

Pricing Factors

  • Shape: Flat glass replacement is standard. Curved/domed acrylic skylights usually require full unit replacement.
  • Size & Weight: Large skylights are extremely heavy and may require extra crew members.
  • Accessibility: Steep roofs or 3-story homes require specialized safety setups.

Our Service Promise

10-Year Warranty on seal failure. Enjoy the sun, stop the rain.

Brighten up your home safely.

What Our Clients Say

"Tim came by to assess a bay window that had lost its seal. Instead of pushing a full replacement, he measured for just the glass. The internal grid match was exact. He saved us about $2,000 compared to the other quote."

Ihor Kovalchuk

Etobicoke

"We had a landscaping rock go right through our sliding patio door. Danyil arrived to board it up and measured immediately. He was meticulous about cleaning up the broken glass shards from our hardwood and the deck. The new tempered unit was installed a week later and looks perfect."

Oksana Boyko

North York

"We needed a large custom mirror for our home gym. The team handled the tight turn in our basement stairwell perfectly. The mirror is distortion-free and really opens up the room. Professional work."

Vasyl Melnyk

Mississauga

"Tim is a true craftsman. We have old wood casement windows that were foggy and drafty. He replaced the glass carefully without chipping the paint or damaging the stops. It's rare to find tradespeople who treat your home with this much respect."

FAQ: Skylight Glass replacement in Whitby

It could be condensate or a roof leak. If the water is between the panes, the seal has failed. If it's dripping from the frame, it might be roofing flashing. We can diagnose this on site.
We primarily specialize in flat glass thermal units. However, we can source standard replacement acrylic domes for many common skylight models.
Code requires skylights to use laminated safety glass on the interior pane. This holds the glass together if it breaks, preventing shards from falling into your home.
Yes, we have technicians active in Whitby and the surrounding area. For urgent glass issues (break-ins, storm damage), we prioritize response times to secure your property.
Generally, replacing just the glass in existing frames does not require a building permit in Whitby. However, if we are altering the structural opening (e.g., cutting a new door), we can advise on the permit process.
Installix serves the entire GTA, but we schedule our teams efficiently. We likely have a truck in or near Whitby right now, ensuring we can get to you for a measurement quickly.
