If you’re a homeowner in the Pickering Village or Ajax community and have a John Boddy Home, chances are you’re familiar with the iconic skylights that feature prominently in these homes. These beautiful skylights come with an octagonal drywall tunnel in the staircase and an elevated box on the roof, typically covered in metal. At Moore Skylight Inc., we specialize in the servicing, repair, replacement, and maintenance of these unique skylights, ensuring they continue to provide the natural light and aesthetic beauty you love while also offering durability and efficiency.
Why Moore Skylights Inc. is the Go-To Skylight Specialist
We understand the unique structure of John Boddy Home skylights in the Pickering Village and Ajax communities, and that’s why Moore Skylight Inc. is your trusted expert for all skylight needs. Over the years, we’ve worked on many of these skylights, becoming the neighbourhood's go-to team for professional service, quality craftsmanship, and reliable results.
Each skylight in these homes is custom-designed, with the octagonal drywall tunnel and elevated curb box that requires careful, skilled installation and maintenance. The metal-covered curb box, integral to these skylights, plays a crucial role in directing water and providing structural support. However, many of these units are now older and require replacement due to natures elements that have been placed on them year after year. We see allot of the roofs have been replaced but the skylights have been untouched. Without a high-quality ice and water membrane under the shingles and on the curb box the system will fail which will lead to leaks, water damage, and other issues.
Our Expert Skylight Installation and Repair Process
At Moore Skylight Inc., we follow a meticulous process when working on these specialized skylights. Here’s what you can expect when we take on your skylight project:
Removal of Existing Skylight and Flashings: We begin by carefully removing the existing skylight and its surrounding flashings, ensuring no damage is done to the structure during the process. We also remove the surrounding shingles around the curb box as necessary.
Installation of High-Grade Ice and Water Membrane: One of the main issues we often encounter with older skylights is the lack of proper ice and water membrane. To prevent water damage and leaks, we install a high-grade ice and water membrane around the base of the curb box and onto the curb box itself.
VELUX Step Flashings and Shingles: To enhance the skylight’s durability and ensure a water-tight seal, we install new VELUX step flashings where needed and replace any damaged shingles at the base of the curb box.
New Sloped Curb Seat and Sealing: We install a new sloped curb seat, ensuring both curbs (the skylight curb and the roof curb) are properly sealed together with a high-grade ice and water membrane – applied in three layers for ultimate protection.
Reinstallation of Existing Flashings: After all the necessary preparations, we carefully reinstall the existing curb box flashings, ensuring they are securely in place and properly sealed.
Sealing Gaps with Spray Foam Insulation: If there are any gaps at the top of the tunnel, we seal them with spray foam insulation or sealant, depending on the gap size. This ensures the tunnel is insulated and sealed for maximum energy efficiency.
New VELUX Fixed Glass Skylight Installation: Once the prep work is completed, we install a new VELUX fixed glass skylight, a top-quality, long-lasting product that will enhance the natural lighting in your home for years to come.
Clean-Up and Final Inspection: After installation, we clean up all garbage and debris, leaving your property spotless. Our work is not finished until we’ve conducted a thorough inspection to ensure everything is installed correctly and functioning as it should.
