Challenge
A homeowner in Toronto required targeted skylight replacement and shingle roof repair around an existing skylight. The shingles in the immediate area and the skylight itself needed to be removed and replaced to restore proper protection against the elements.
The defined scope of work included:
- Taking off the old shingles around the skylight
- Removing the old skylight
- Applying ice and water shield on the exposed roof boards
- Installing new shingles around the skylight
- Installing a new skylight
The goal was to restore a watertight seal around this critical roof penetration and ensure long-term performance.
Solution
Dominion Roofing carried out a structured repair process to address the skylight area fully:
- Shingle removal: The team removed all old shingles immediately surrounding the existing skylight to expose the underlying roof deck.
- Skylight removal: The old skylight was carefully taken out, ensuring the area was ready for proper waterproofing and replacement.
- Ice & water shield application: To protect the exposed boards and prepare the opening for a new installation, ice and water shield was applied around the skylight area.
- New shingles installed: Fresh shingles were installed around the skylight opening to create a clean, watertight transition.
- New skylight installation: A brand-new skylight was installed, completing the upgrade and restoring natural light and weather protection.
All work was contained to the skylight section of the roof, using proper waterproofing practices to ensure durability.
Result
The completed repairs provided the homeowner with:
- A new, properly installed skylight
- Updated shingles around the skylight area
- Enhanced waterproofing thanks to new ice and water shield
- A clean, sealed, and professionally restored roof section
This project highlights Dominion Roofing’s ability to execute precise, small-scope repairs that focus on key roof features such as skylights, ensuring long-lasting, reliable performance.
