Professional Skylight Installation, Repair, and Roof Integration
Through our sister company, In Awe Skylights, we provide professional skylight installation, replacement, leak repair, and Sun Tunnel installation for residential and commercial properties throughout Langley, Metro Vancouver, the Fraser Valley, and surrounding areas.
A skylight is a core part of the roofing system and must be installed and waterproofed correctly. Poorly integrated skylights are one of the most common sources of roof leaks. Whether you want to introduce more natural light into your home or need an aging commercial dome replaced, our team ensures the unit is perfectly sealed against British Columbia’s heavy rainfall.
With over 20 years of roofing experience, we evaluate both the skylight and the surrounding roof system to deliver solutions that last.
Skylights Properly Integrated Into the Roofing System
Installing a skylight requires more than cutting a hole in the ceiling. The flashing, underlayment, and shingles must work together seamlessly to shed water away from the opening.
At In Awe Roofing, our dual expertise in complete roofing systems and specialized skylight installation means we look at the entire picture rather than simply patching a visible problem.

Know When Your Skylights May Be Failing
Skylight issues often develop slowly. Identifying these signs early can prevent significant water damage to your roof decking and interior drywall.
-
Water Stains or Active Leaks – Moisture appearing on the drywall around the skylight opening is a clear sign of failed flashing or a cracked seal.
-
Condensation Between Panes – If the glass appears continuously foggy or holds condensation, the insulating gas seal has failed and the unit should be replaced.
-
Cracks in the Glass or Dome – Physical damage from hail, falling branches, or severe weather compromises the safety and waterproof nature of the skylight.
-
Drafts Around the Frame – If you feel cold air coming from the skylight during winter, the seals or framing insulation may have deteriorated.
-
Aging During a Roof Replacement – If your skylights are older and you are replacing your roof, it is highly recommended to replace them simultaneously to ensure proper integration.
